Well, I guess those of you who are upset over this can take this as a lesson to wait 3 – 4 years min before you buy anything, or start any new games.

This isn’t anything new, this is very typical of businesses. EQ players paid up to $150+ yearly, only to find that later there was a free account version.

Daoc has 5 expansions, every single one of them are free now

etc

People are getting way too emotional over this, from business perspective I think this was a very good decision, and a fair one.

I think 2 slots is fine, as far as improvements go, I think they should map chat in a restricted form.
Partly for this reason I posted earlier.

Just read a good point on reddit.
I think F2P players should be allowed to use map chat with some restrictions. (unlocked at a certain level, and a short timer in between messages)

I can see it now.

“Why didn’t you call the event?”
“I’m F2P.”

And as a economical analyser: just no. The base game costed 5 years of hard work, and contrary to what some people say it’s content for a basegame is massive (try map completion for one).

There’s the flip side to that as well. In a Buy to Play model, ArenaNet doesn’t need to rely as much on the cash store since they have at least the money players used to buy the game. When going full free to play, ArenaNet will have to rely even more on the cash store, which means they will likely invest even more in the Gem Store and even less in the game itself.

So don’t expect to see new armor sets reliably any time soon. ArenaNet will focus all artists on making outfits for the Gem Store. The same regarding weapon skins. It will become even worse than it already is, and that’s with HoT being released with only 3 new legendaries.

They wouldn’t be going full free to play though, people would still have to buy the HoT expansion for full access to the game, besides, the core game sales have probably slowed to a point where it may not offer much profit anymore, which is why they might want to get people hooked on the free core game, so they will end up buying HoT. (this is all assuming the core game is actually going f2p)

72 hours to get my gems?

Purchased my HoT ultimate edition from the website, and it took close to 70 hours for my gems to arrive (all other items were delivered instantly). Guildies reported that they bought it through the ingame gemstore and had gems delivered instantly.

Is it only possible to receive the 4k gems mon-fri?

No, I received my gems during the weekend.

Thank you

They should add them as an uncommon drop in blc or something. (no, would wouldn’t have to buy blk to get them, they should slowly build up in the tp, like the backpacks you can only get from blc.)

How far will wings go?

I’m hoping for golden wings, and some 700-800 gem special effect wings.

Special affects like black wings that give off a dark red shroud, and white wings with random illuminated feathers speckled throughout, etc.

Lambent.6375

As dubious as it may be, A-net cited the previous wings to be “bugged”… a.k.a the wings have always meant to have this animation.

I know it sucks if you preferred them before, Aiden. Unfortunately for you the majority seem to prefer the more realistic version.

To me, sometimes the animation makes them look like a piece of cloth cut into the shape of wings.

Where were you for the months-plural that this has been announced as being in the works?

It’s not like ArenaNet dropped this on people out of the blue on patch day. We’ve known this was coming since…what? March?

Probably doing what a lot of people were suggesting.

Anyone else bought a char slot with gold?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lambent.6375

Lambent.6375

I think a slot should come with the regular version.

I don’t know if I’ll get the pre order, if I do it will probably be the ultimate version, since that will save me money overtime. (I buy gems with money)

“Caithe, someday you’ll see, Tyria needs me. -Scarlet”

Why pre order anyway?

Aside from the dubious pleasure of those wacky beta weekends, I really don’t see any reason to pre-order this turkey so far ahead of Thanksgiving.

Help me out here. What do you get for giving ANET your $ to play with while you wait for the expansion?

And how will you feel if they end up releasing a cheaper upgrade for existing accounts, or doing the deep discounts, after you loaned them around $100?

Well, if someone who actively purchases gems with real money gets the ultimate version, they’re really just paying $50 for the deluxe version instead of $75, and an additional $50 for 4k gems they would have bought anyway.

Gw2 coming to console ? PS4 & XBOX

It’s better if gw2 comes with a console because some people like to have the game with a console. This well at attract more people to the game who preference to use a console instead of a keyboard and mouse. And new player from consoles

Even if they somehow managed to get the game on console, with freedom to release updates whenever they wanted without going through sony or microsoft, I don’t see how the bold would work.

“Trolling” is just an cute word for “Sadism” used by people who don’t know that taking pleasure from causing the suffering of your fellow human beings significantly pre-dates the internet.

“Suffering”? Really? If you suffer from anything someone says online well…. I can’t say.

I think he is speaking of trolling in general, which goes beyond simply saying stuff to people online.

And it’s already “allowed” in game, in the sense that you can’t get punished for it.

Like telling people (everyone, not just turrets)to come back at 30 or 40 at teq,

Telling people defense and turrets are full when it’s not

Trying to get people to stack in the wrong area

Pushing bloated creepers towards the stack

Basically any little thing they can do to make a teq run fail.

If we can report people for doing these things, please tell me.

Weapons/back Dye !

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Lambent.6375

Lambent.6375

I don’t know, what would twilight look like if you applied celestial dye? The thing most of you seem to be ignoring is that this isn’t simple. All the armor is made to be dyed, while backpieces and weapons were designed with very specific coloring schemes.

(I know it would be a lot of work regardless of this)

But if they mimicked Dark Age of Camelot when they added weapon dyeing, some weapons would be dyeable, others would not.

I think it would be help character customization a lot even if we were to get something simple, like only the weapon skins used for iron class weapon can by dyed. (iron class being your basic masterwork weapon skin)

Still not really understanding the fractal hate when all you need to do is one level 1 stage to get the Daily Fractal checked off. I guess I just don’t see the difference between doing it vs doing a dungeon?

It’s not like you can roll Cliffside on your first stage.

There us a high chance someone who dislikes fractals may also dislike dungeons.
