Guild Wars 2

Yup! See you soon in HoT guys! I’ll enjoy my time with Heavensward for the meantime.

Well, I now know what I’ll do.

I’ll just quietly wait for the next expansion pack and I’ll just buy the new bundle with free HoT included. Simple.

Cheers everyone.

Judging by how you put FLYING MOUNTS in all caps, I’d say you’re just mad because GW2 doesn’t have them.

Sarcasm aside, 13 bucks a month is 156 bucks a year. Plus the 40 dollar price tag on top. The expansion might have more content, but you’re paying a great deal more for it.

Well, I sure would have like to see some mounts in GW2, haha. Just put it in caps lock because that hyped me for FFXIV. That’s all.

About what you said, I’ll speak for myself :

I don’t think it’s relevant how much I paid over a year for the sub since I spent the same amount if not more for gems in GW2 over the same year. Gems are optional, of course. But we should admit that Anet’s updates always brings back their gem shop to the front whereas other games features new dungeon, etc.

I believe that they make up for the sub fee with all of these micro transactions. It’s my fault for believing and “supporting” Anet.

Are you sure about the certainty that all we are known to receive in HOT is all that comes in the xpac?

Yes, I saw an interview where someone asked Colin if there were more to HoT than what they announced and he answered that all the features were already revealed and that would be it.

As the title says, ALL of the major features were revealed and I recall Colin saying that there won’t be anything more than what they have announced so far.

This “expansion pack” is more of a “feature pack”. It feels SOOO cheap and yet SOOO expensive.

For GW2 HoT (50$) :

- New class and specs
- Masteries
- Guild Halls
- A few areas (I remember seeing somewhere that there were only 3?)
- “Challenging” group content (raids?)
- New cosmetics (again and again and again)

And that’s about all I can remember.

Beside we have FFXIV Heavensward (39$) (the following is copy/pasted) :

- Level Cap Increase to 60 for all disciples
- Massive New Areas (Ishgard, Dravanian Forelands, Floating Landmasses and Continents)
- New Playable Race
- Multiple New Jobs
- All New Primals (Including an original made for Final Fantasy XIV)
- New Dungeons
- New Raids
- Airship’s Galore (Personal FC Airships)
- New Gear and Recipes
- FLYING MOUNTS

And according to forums, FFXIV’s xpac would have the same amount of content as the original core game. As for GW2, we all know that it doesn’t feel that case.

Btw, let’s get real and cut this bullcrap. I can see people saying me that GW2 has no sub and it has given free update over the past 3 years. Aside from Fractals and Guild Missions, all the update was like thin air and they’ve been focusing way too much on their cash shop. I didn’t enjoy the living story since I missed some part of it. I still did some episodes but it felt empty.

I’d rather pay a sub and have real content (FFXIV and WoW at some point).
Even if GW2 has no sub, its micro transactions is too present, I know A LOT of people paying way more than 13 bucks a month.

So this “no sub” argument can’t justify this expansion pack’s price.

But if we stay quiet, nothing will happen.

It’s the same as all the people who are protesting/rioting to assert their rights (poor salary, etc.).

As customers I believe we are entitled to show our discontent. Some just do it with more velocity than others.

As for me, I don’t mind paying 50 bucks IF HoT provides AS MUCH content as Factions, Nightfall or even EotN. Then I’d know it’d be worth my money.
But as of now, I’ll never buy it.

Then they shouldn’t say that the core game included is “free” in their bundle. Period.

IF (yeah, still thinking about it) I bought the expansion pack, I’d expect to have a free base game (so I can give it to someone), but that won’t be the case even though they said otherwise. I won’t even have a free character slot. LOL

Okay, thank you very much Anet for all the update you’ve been giving us about this matter. I appreciate it.

Moreover, I’m really surprised at how low the price for the xpac is! :o
Hopefully you’ll keep on being as fast and reliable whenever there’s a bug like this one.

Best of luck!

Can’t wait for Au Ra to come out, I really wanna play them! Haha.

Come on Anet, please answer, say something.

Whenever I see a GWAMM I always think : “he must be a fake”, there are sooooooo many GWAMM out there, it’s crazy.

I really do think it’s unfair. As someone already said, it’s like giving out free legendary. I wonder how true legendary owner would feel like.
Btw, GWAMM is even harder to get. Way harder.

I spent bucks supporting you because I love this game, you just CAN’T spit on our face like this.

Not even a word was given from you, as if you didn’t care. There are sooo many bugs and yet you are updating your gem store. Get your priorities right.

I hope to see an answer (the least I expect) or a fix soon enough.
