HoT Price Feedback + Base game included [merged]

$50 is a more than reasonable price for an expansion for a free game with no subscription fee. Most of us with brain stems were expecting something in the ball park of $40 anyway.

Nobody would complain if they weren’t giving an incentive to new players. As a vet, frankly I’ happy about this incentive. It should improve the game.

You’re getting guild halls, a new pvp mode, elite specializations, a new class, a new borderlands, new maps and god knows what else.

Anet’s only mistake with this was underestimating how many fairness queens are in its playerbase.

I love that what’s fair for you should be fair to all. This thread is to let players have a voice. If they feel cheated/left out, you really have no right to say they’re wrong. Just that you feel different.

I mean really? “Fairness queens”? :/

It simply feels like most of what is in this expansion is stuff that should have already been here to begin with. So paying for what I kind of expected seems like stupidity. Maybe I shouldn’t have expected much from the core game maybe, I dunno.

Mastery system (update), Specializations (Update), Guild Hall (Update), Competetive Mode (update)

New profession and Enter Maguuma (New content)

Edit: on reflection it could just be all marketing. Give a lot less than expected, have a riot, say “we listened” and give a bit more, all so you don’t have to give as much as was originally wanted/expected. /cynic

Voice added: not paying $50US for a game I already own, with no Char slot (which even if included I can’t see being $50 value).

I may be a cynic, but it just smacks of corporate greed and a company out of touch.

Hi all,

The game has begun to crash on me. I can log in. I can get to Character Select. But as soon as DR (or other area) loads, it crashes to a green screen.

I can hear it playing in the background, but all inputs stop. for example, I can’t press Enter then “/dance”. I know this because the Dance ‘sounds’ the character make don’t come up. Same as Cheer.

I’ve turned down the Graphics settings from the Character Select screen but still crashes on login.

I updated my nVidia drivers, pulled my pc apart and cleaned the hell out of it (always a good thing I should do more often), and still nothing.

Is this happening to others from April onwards?

285GTX (working like a boss still, not overheating)

Problem is, what if they only let 5k of them drop but only 1k (or less) of the people want to participate? If you sell them, then only those who want to do the beta would buy it. Just seems a weird way to bring beta people in.

LFG and JPs

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Scoundrel.2139

Scoundrel.2139

I think that if I was new, and new to JPs, I’d be doing them in a group. Not solo, and preferably with a mes.

My point is more the “sales to reach end reward”. In a dungeon sale via LFG, you’re hardly doing group content. You’re going in, getting the achieve and end chest, and that is it. No group content. You’re not participating in group content, you’re buying a way to bypass it.

What about selling access to ones home instance for gathering resources? Namely I just spotted this new type of selling in lfg just about an hour ago : " Sell access crafting nodes (17) for 20 silver…..->" . Does it belong to the dungeon sort of selling section or is it abusing the lfg due to selling access to “items”?

  • Advertising an access portal is not allowed.
  • Guild Recruitment is not allowed.

Both are unrelated to forming a group and therefore are not part of the intended purpose of the Looking for Group Tool.

Dungeons can be solo’d. The option is given, but not always needed. It’s group oriented. But JP’s, and in fact the game in general, is an MMO. So, the whole game is group oriented.

And it’s still a path to a reward.

[Suggestion] Color Blind Mode (merged)

In appearance, I envision a ring with an aura (semi-transparent) extending upwards. It could even have symbols added to the aura for enhancement and identification purposes.

Skulls for poison.
Flame for burning.
Etc.

This is hands down the best idea I’ve seen on the issue. small Skull/crossbones rising for poison, swords for Might, etc. Whatever might be chosen.

I want a masculine bow that’s manly and shoots men with muscles the size of other men father than a man can run which is really, really fast because a man is ultimate and inflicts nightstallions on enemies. That’s right, Nightstallions, because nightmares are female and male horses are more masculine and stronger and darker and more mature with added strength and manliness. I want my Bro-bow to shoot Nightstallions, man.

“the only thing that keeps people playing your game,” based on a case study of size 1. But surely everybody else in the game has the same priorities and interests as you, and from that alone you can infer mountains of insight into the state of the game.
