Oh for crying out loud…Stop with the “legal advice” crap… you guys don’t know jack

I’m not agreeing with people with legal advice, but how would you know better?

Oh i’m sorry, where did I say I knew better? Must have been right next to “we don’t know what were talking about so don’t talk about it.”

lol how are you going to say “we” you should be just talking about yourself then if you have no proof to back up your statement

I’m not agreeing with people with legal advice, but how would you know better? The person who gave it is “supposedly” a lawyer and a few have already thought about it and have sent their complaints to ncsoft. If you know better and back it up with proof then do it, instead of claiming others of not knowing crap

I’m not a lawyer, but I have worked in retail and I do know that advertising posters and such in retail are not required to show the full Terms & Conditions on an advertising/marketing poster, only during when purchase is being made.

This is not about them not giving you the full picture.

What they describe is different from what you buy. This is false advertising. There’s a misleading statement like “A game serial code for account creation or upgrade for the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns expansion and the award winning Guild Wars 2 core game.”

This could either means 2 separate codes, or 1 code for both.

Actually, if you understood the American language(not English) and read that properly, then you would know that it’s one code, that includes both…i.e., it’s either an account upgrade to HoT if you already have the base game or a completely new game that includes the core game and HoT. That’s how I read it to begin with, it’s not my problem if most people don’t have good reading comprehension skills.

lol really..? American language not english? I am pretty sure we speak American ENGLISH in the United States.

I have no proof of this but a friend of mine just killed HOT for me, he told me he read an article where it mentioned that the pack has only 3 maps x 3 layers. If this is true then Anet took 3 years to create 3 triple decker maps. He told me he still went ahead and bought it I told him to have fun an told him not to expect me anytime soon.
Will purchase when the game is 10 to 15 bucks which is what it deserves.
Even then I might not find the time for it as I have Assassin’s Creed and GTA 5 to finish and Fallout 4 on the way this fall. With this fiasco Anet has killed the game at least for me. Have fun guys.

thats all speculation based on what they’ve shown so far, nothing is “truly” confirmed. Take that for what its worth

Knock it off with the legal aspect. Any lawsuit has a kitten’s chance in Orr of success, and you (hopefully) know that. The real issue is the value offered for the money paid. Since the value isn’t (quite) there as far as we’ve been shown, simply vote with your (closed) wallet until A-net offers something at least slightly more attractive for the price.

lol have you seen some law suits out there and what actually passes? Sure a law suit would be ridiculous but it doesn’t mean its not plausible

Then you don’t buy it, why make another thread like this when you know there are hundred others. Mods merge this please.

Why? This has nothing to do with the price, or the inclusion of the core game. It’s a then Vs now conversation. And feed back to ANet that if/when they do another xpac, they think about adding more of a pre-order bonus. At no point did I or anyone else talk about getting it or not. That is all you.

I agree, a prepurchase is meant to feel special. There is nothing special unless you buy the ultimate package and that is just a gem discount. Keep in mind deluxe doesnt mean much as you can upgrade via gem store later. I’d prefer the items you get to be limited at leas then it would give more value to deluxe and make prepurchasing more special

Then what would you do with your old account you worked so hard for? Leave it for dailies? For all you know your old account may lose out on a lot of access

I’d expect there is still content you can enjoy if you don’t have HoT, at least that’s what Anet was promising. Besides that it’s dailies, guild crafting, and storage space – some use that comes to mind. Plus there is always a possibility of a good discount for HoT that may come later.

If there is a discount it won’t be for a while, so its your choice. It also depends how much time you’ve put into your old account. If it is substantial then it would be a shame to throw it away like this but thats just my opinion. Also the new account, is a NEW account. It would be such a hassle to get bag slots, bank slots, and etc for it

Play games if skills to win, so look at PVP and WVW, PVP queuing mechanism is still not bad, I love to play more interesting LOL.WVW is kept running, and knocked at the door.Don’t feel any fun.On the other hand mall has never stopped.Though not mall’s fault, but someone must have made a mistake…Perhaps the players themselves.If the player in the game itself is not fun, will leave.Any game operation.
Pessimism is not only a continent server players, actually in the United States server play Chinese players have also become more negative.I believe that the negative is derived from love.

and are you saying players from the United States feel the same way as you? and if so how do you know? Also the difference in your example is that the Diablo 3 auction house was closed because gear in diablo 3 meant you were actually better than someone. Gear in gw2 just means you look better than them, legendaries in no way provide you game play advantage. I am sorry man, but honestly your argument is not very appealing nor does it make sense. GW2 is different from many games in the sense that skill means everything while gear means nothing. You CANT actually pay to win, you pay to look good.

Yes, maybe the way we play a game and thinking is different, maybe the players feel good, in fact if ANET continue so, before long, you will hear the GW2 news of the defeat in China.It’s not important, because the European and American players will not cause any effect.In fact, it has been a large number of Chinese players don’t want to mention the GW2.Abuse of the heart.

But, ANET is not abusing anyone with the Gem Store, its the gaming mentality in China that you have to farm and buy gold with real money. It happens in the other countries but it happens more in China. Unless the gem store is giving you an item that makes you super strong, it is doing nothing wrong. I’m sorry you feel this way

Simple you think mall as long as they don’t sell to strengthen props is no harm to the game that I want to say is the game must be on the premise of rich own game content with some content.And GW2 game content, I think there is no honor, no fun, boring, no sincerity, chaos to describe.Even released the expansion of the content is very less, how much content is worth to buy me out of 50 d?50 d is a very small number, but still want to see if he is worth it.

If the number is not a game server, players will be natural wonder whether the game is going to collapse.If the Chinese server broke down, I will not come back to the server, because the content of the game.

Then you must not like the game in general then, because the gem store has nothing to do with the story, the monsters, the quests, the dungeons, the map exploration. What can you buy from the gem store that is going to effect your game play.

Armor= cosmetic
Weapons=cosmetic
Outfit=cosmetic
Mini=cosmetic
Tools=convenience
Toys=cosmetics
Upgrades= convenience

^none of these actually give any game play, quest, story, or anything

And PVE content because the PVE unique, unique content, to be proud of is through hard work and skills.And the guild wars 2 is put most of the content in the auction house, and the lion and cash gold can buy gems.
Think carefully, and I in a world of warcraft have been almost no flowers inside of point card money, and guild wars 2 leave me memory is that money can buy anything, and through the PVE get most of them are garbage.

You seem to be coming from a very biased opinion, to actually afford to pay real money and convert to gold and buy everything you want in the game would actually cost quite a lot. Most of the items you find in gem store are cosmetic based, also you have to recognize this game differs from others because of its mechanic. You are not good based on your gear, you are good depending how you play. Someone may LOOK cooler than you but it does not mean they are better. Also, the gem store works both ways, you don’t need to spend a dollar on the game if you are willing to just farm gold. YOU personally just seem to have a bad experience. Most people think the gem store is fine and would prefer this over a subscription fee and paying 10 dollars a month. YOU mentioned minis earlier, that for example yes comes from anet every month but is purely cosmetic and does not effect gameplay at all

This is not an extreme point of view, and closed as the diablo iii auction house is in the same way.Legendary weapon’s cost in China is just another game in the price of the common, the reality is there are some players haven’t promoted to full level, is a legendary weapon direct purchase, and then when they reach level, found that have nothing to do, so he left.

The gem store is bad for perception, but is quite reasonable as a model. They self support with a group of people who design weapon and armour sets and the extra money goes not just into profits, but sustaining the game. However what a lot of players see is that they are spending all these resources on gem store items, not realising that it is the gemstore itself that is sustaining these resources. The Watchwork pick was probably the one time I felt uncomfortable about it.

That I will tell you my server in China’s actual situation, the new skin and the lion, I almost don’t buy, buy other players also very little, whenever there is a really good players want to buy the weapons of the skin, there are some players will choose a day to AC, and the process continues.I will go to illegal to buy gold, farming gold COINS for me is a waste of my time and no game fun.In fact, the operator can’t make money, or can only earn little money.
Game content, on the other hand, the monotonous and not update, a dozen of my best friends are out of the game, more than half a year is not online.My guild but 6 people during rush hours.Players have left because the PVE is so boring.So the operator to earn more money, can’t keep the game.So the operator constantly sell in-game skin out.Fun games itself down further, faster players leave..This is a vicious circle.

It is better to put those no one buy black lion skin in PVE content, content will something to do to buy another player.Unable to operate without the game itself, no matter how much you sell things.

The key lies in game content monotonous.Chinese players is not a fool, they come fast, go too fast.Not literally everything can success in China.

This sounds like a region problem, not actual game problem… If you are asking for more content for free instead of them updating gem store. They have already given out enough content for FREE. The expansion IS the CONTENT you are looking for and the gem store allows them to update the servers and keep it going for you. Like I say again, HOW do you expect them to keep their servers up without money?

I am not totally opposed to the jewelry store, the actual situation is, update the gem store does not stop, and the game itself but not to add, gameplay remains monotonous, the mechanism of PVP rank maddening. I have never played a game that is so slow and has no sincerity. Gw2 first is a game, and then add the mall. The actual situation is just the opposite.

Just like in many games out, how do you propose they maintain servers and keep the game going for you without some kind of incentive to have players pay? Would you prefer a subscription fee like World of Warcraft?

To world of Warcraft as an example, I rarely go to a large copy, but with friends do achievements, through different methods to collect rare pets and mounts. I in a version update after the first go to the circus in pet battle won the octopus SID, and my girlfriend beside fishing fishing out the a baby in the hippocampus.
While Guild Wars 2, I never collect pets, they’re too ugly, but only money can buy. No game fun. But my girlfriend almost never play online, prefer to play bad games Chinese production, because Guild Wars 2 is much more interesting than At least a real game, not a mall.
In fact, any print server Chinese rare items only need money can buy. Imagine World of Warcraft print by Blizzard war bear on the mall to sell what scene it.
Said so much, just want to illustrate a point of view, the Guild Wars 2 should first genuinely rich game content, and not gems and gems. also in China, guild wars 2 is recognized not fun game. It’s ironic.

I am sorry to say I barely understand you, but besides the World of Warcraft example you still havent answered my question. How do you keep the Guild Wars 2 servers up for years without anyone paying? Also, what I can understand you realize the gem store does not effect you in any way unless you WANT to buy their gem store items which it seems like you don’t.

The key is to distinguish between games and malls boundaries, for example, mall and a skin, black lion box each update so corresponding PVE content also can update the other different content of the skin, is simply to increase the reward PVE content, rather than for players to have nothing to do.
Mall should tend to be more facial appearance, hair style, hair color, which can be open to sell, China’s domestic game, a character can buy hundreds of different hairstyles and facial.The number of the Chinese game mall commodity is dozens of times the guild wars 2.
And PVE content because the PVE unique, unique content, to be proud of is through hard work and skills.And the guild wars 2 is put most of the content in the auction house, and the lion and cash gold can buy gems.
Think carefully, and I in a world of warcraft have been almost no flowers inside of point card money, and guild wars 2 leave me memory is that money can buy anything, and through the PVE get most of them are garbage.

Yes, the Chinese people to the gem store carry forward, this is I as Chinese people like to play games in Europe and America. Gems store let the game become without honor and playability, only need money you can get all the game is disappointing.

Lol this is a really bad suggestion, what you are asking is that they remove the gem store and would force them to add a subscription fee.

Wait, is there a boxed edition, or not? If so, does it come with a separate CD or code for the base game, in addition to the Expansion?

I believe it just comes with just the expansion, but from all this mess going around it seems that the core game isn’t even an option anymore. If you look at the shop at the top of this site. They are literally just giving away the core to players who purchase HoT. As for a boxed edition it would prolly come with one serial code for one account that gives access to the core and HoT

Collector's Edition

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: HoangAn.2085

HoangAn.2085

I didn’t see anything about it. Is Arenanet thinking of doing a Collector’s Edition for HoT? I want it, I have no interest in paying €100 (almost 115 US dollars) for a digital edition. I’d happily pay €150 for a collector’s edition (just like the original one).

If there’s not going to be a collector’s edition, I’ll just buy the standard one. I have no interest in minis or skins that will probably be on the gemstore later.

Lots of players feel the same, and are eager to get a Collector’s Edition. This is a very good chance to make players happy and earn up to 3-4 times the original amount of the expansion. It’s a win-win situation, please consider it.

There are no plans for a collectors physical edition atm, you can find this information in the FAQS. They also stated that you will be able to upgrade from standard to deluxe via gem store but not ultimate. You literally buy standard or get ultimate for gem discount, there no real point in deluxe which makes me sad. I would be happy if pre purchasing felt special and these were limited

I think this person nailed it:

Just give a choice: extra slot or base game
Seems like a simple solution. I’d happily pay $50 for expansion +1 slot as a vet. A new player gets great value by getting the base + HoT and has 5 empty slots to work with. But let me choose!

Personally, I will get the ultimate because I’ve gotten far more than $50 of value out of the game over the years and I have no problem giving ANet my $. But I think they’d quickly quell the concerns of the masses with the above solution.

The OP wasn’t asking for the expansion for free. I know it was hard to read, but he/she was asking whether an “upgrade” option would be available eventually. (No offense intended to nJuSt.9182—I think a few words were missing from your post. But I think I understood you correctly.)

OP specifically mentioned the Gem Store. Gems can be bought by ingame gold and that would mean one would be able to buy the expansion for gold, instead of real money.

This is how I read it too, but if not I’m sorry? lol either way expansion will cost you real money, if you wish to upgrade it will cost you gems (take that how you want to)

*edit: I am not happy with the upgrading either, what makes pre-purchasing special then? T.T

Let’s be honest this would be asking for too much. An expansion for free? Though I am saddened that you can upgrade from standard to deluxe via gem store in the future. Makes the pre purchase feel like its nothing special. Either you buy standard or you buy ultimate for gem discount. No real point in deluxe

I needed this boost tonight, badly, and I’m pleased to have something fun to distract me from a terrible thing happening RL.

All this really means is a discount in gems lol, the deluxe package comes with shinies and u can upgrade via gem store. Which makes me sad

The Ultimate edition of the game includes all of the above in addition to 4,000 gems. The Ultimate edition will not be available as an upgrade and must be purchased as a full game package.

The wording makes me belive that the other options ARE available as an upgrade so where is the UPGRADE price not the expansion price…

Really, its only worth getting ultimate or standard. Deluxe is whatever because you can upgrade from standard to deluxe via gem store. Apparently these items won’t be limited

There are some suggestions for making the HoT prices look better and more fair:

STANDARD EDITION
- HoT
- Character Slot
- Total Make Over Kit

DELUXE EDITION
- HoT
- Character Slot
- Total Make Over Kit
- 1 Black Lion Ticket
- Bang Expansion Tab or Bag Expansion
- Miniature Revenant Rytlock
- Mordremoth’s Bane Guild Hall Decoration
- Heart of Thorns Glider Skin

ULTIMATE EDITION
- HoT
- Character Slot
- Total Make Over Kit
- 1 Black Lion Ticket
- Bang Expansion Tab or Bag Expansion
- Miniature Revenant Rytlock
- Mordremoth’s Bane Guild Hall Decoration
- Heart of Thorns Glider Skin
- 4000 GEMS

PRE-PURCHASE BONUSES (for any Edition)
- Access to the Beta
- Special Title
- Booster Multi pack
- Heart of Thorns Head Gear Skin ( a Thorny Halo or a Thorny Circlet)

Those are just a few small editions, some of them useful, some of them unique, changes that can make people feel that their money have a better value.

I actually think this is great lol xD

yea thats how I am feeling, I don’t know why but initially I thought the items would be limited and some people in game said the same thing to me, but now I just recognize it as maybe a free 2000 gems depending how you value the character slot, mini, glider skin, ornament, finisher

Yeah, i know we’ll see… just throwing it out there that this definitely didn’t really feel special. I mean discounts happen here and there, a prepurchase only once xD

I know, i guess its my fault I just assumed that people wouldn’t be able to upgrade and the free stuff was limited. Don’t get me wrong its a great discount, maybe my wallet is just sad xD i just wish it were more special

So I pre purchased the game with the ultimate edition because I love this game and think Anet is a great company. I was also hoping that it would come with this special feeling, but then realized all I really got was a discount. Looking at the FAQs is it true that you can upgrade from the standard to deluxe via gem store? If so, all it really means is that the pre-purchase just offers you a title and getting ultimate just gave you a discount on gems. lol, just wanted to share that I am a little disheartened xD

What happened to your SB(guessing your weapon set is d/d…)??

I am d/d does it matter? 0.0 I have sb but im a returning player and back then travelers was useful

You don’t need extra speed focus more on damage,guessing you also are you SA so yes Strength is better than Travelers,especially with Valkyrie since you want to focus all your damage on Backstab and CnD if you are using Intelligence Sigil. You can start AA on SB>steal>swap & proc intelligence>CnD wait>CnD again>Backstab good damage.

Awesome, thank you!
