Stop Calling HoT an expansion!

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Veteran players asking to get a separate base game key because they think the product somehow entitles them to that are silly. Giving out millions of base GW2 accounts to people who upgrade their current account would also be pretty silly.

They claim the full game is free. So why shouldn’t they give existing players an extra copy of the game, if it is included for free with the expansion? Its free aint it? So what’s the problem?

See, and this is exactly what makes existing players feel that something is shady. Especially since the expansion happens to be the price of a full game. This has nothing to do with entitlement.

So what if Anet gives you the core game for free? Since you already have the core game what stops you from trying to scam others and sell your free core game to make yourself money? I think this is the main reason you won’t get a free version of the core game. Scams are all over the place on the internet and lets face it some people would take this free game and sell it on sites like ebay and maybe even call it HoT just to profit themselves.

That is not a very good argument, what’s to stop people from selling their accounts now ? You can’t just assume everyone is going to break the rules. Sure some will try and sell it, there is no doubt about that. The majority would probably give it to a friend or family member to spark interest, some might just keep it for themselves. I have 5 copies of the game, I don’t need 5 copies, I rarely use them all, but I bought them, they are mine and I have no desire to “try and sell them” to someone else.

Good morning by the way !

Yes you can’t assume everyone will break the rules but lets face it many people would and many people do. Gold sellers ring a bell? Ever get spammed while chilling in the pvp lobby? Those spammers are all breaking a rule and they will continue to break the rules because most of those have scammed others and are using someone else’s account.

Better yet giving out a free version to people would just create more gold selling accounts. If the gold sellers find out they can also get a free code for the core they would jump all over it just to have more accounts to scam others with.

I’m with you I wouldn’t scam anyone but really you can’t say people won’t try to make money off of something they get for free. I would point out greed but I already got a few infractions for saying some people are just greedy. Ops.

Also those that try to sell their accounts now, they did have to purchase the game to begin with so that money went to anet.

Morning!!

Good point. Anet only allow themselves to run the scams here.

hehe

I don’t see them scamming anyone. If anything they are trying to bring more players into this game which in the long run would benefit everyone. If more people support game it would allow them to create more content for everyone.

But for someone who already has GW2 and paying $50 just to add a miniscule amount of content (compared to the content in Gw2 vanilla) is just wrong.

Another person who owns a time machine to know exactly what the expansion has to offer.

Yes I did tell you why. I’ll even include some more to make you understand a little better. I got freebies for playing the game for over 2 years
I don’t need another freebie to make me happy. You said you won’t be happy unless you get a freebie.

You didn’t get freebies during these 2 years; you got Anet fulfilling the promises they did to players 3 year ago when they released GW2.
For that I rewarded them by playing the game, talking of it around me and being active on the cashshop.

It’s not another freebies to make me happy.
It’s a freebie that means than my money & attention to buy the expansion HoT is equal to that of a newcomer.

Actually I did get freebies, I got free updates pretty much every 2 weeks, Free Living stories that new players will need to buy with gems, Free open world content that isn’t coming back, and since you mentioned the gem store. I got lots of free stuff on there as well because at times they give away free stuff to players. Maybe small free stuff but it was still free..

All Prepurchasing or early access is, is a gamble at the bottom of it. You are saying that what you have seen of the product is worth to you the price or that you have faith in the developer to make it that way before release. It is always a gamble, always. The original FF14 is a good example of that.

To say that someone is being gullible or irresponsible in the purchasing of HoT is wrong. To the OP it is worth the money, to others maybe not. That is a decision everyone has to make. So talk with your money it really is the most efficient way to get a company to listen. If HoT prepurchases are significantly lower then expected A-net will do something, if they meet there quota or exceed it then they wont.

All that these personnel attacks on players is doing is making life unpleasant for everyone. It’s fine to post opinions about Anet’s marketing policy but most of the threads just come down to slap fights between players.

+1 for having a good post

Because unlike you, which you clearly stated, I don’t need a freebie to be happy playing this game.

You don’t need a freebie to happily buy the expansion; nuance is there.
Still You didn’t told me why you won’t do what you suggested.

Yes I did tell you why. I’ll even include some more to make you understand a little better. I got freebies for playing the game for over 2 years, I don’t need another freebie to make me happy. You said you won’t be happy unless you get a freebie.

Way I see it is if you think new players are getting a freebie and you are not, only way to get the same as a new player is start all over. Then you lose all the benefits of being a veteran player, but you got the free core version so wouldn’t that make you happy?

HoT: will you upgrade or get a new account?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: briggah.7910

briggah.7910

The question is, if you are buying HoT – would you go for a new account or an upgrade and why?

Upgrade. I have so many hours in this game, it would actually take me over 2 years to get back to where I am now. 9 lvl 80’s, 4k+ WvW rank, 15k+ achievement points, Maxed every craft. So much more that I would never want to start over. Oh and 100% map completion, only on one toon LOL not sure I can do it for each of them.

You also have to pay a monthly fee for wow so the freebies you got you actually were paying for.

A freebie to loyal customer is a freebie .
The fact that it was delivered for a subcription free game, a free game, a buy 2 play game doesn’t make it less of a freebie and doesn’t detract from the fact that regular customer feel rewarded for their loyalty and not discriminated against.

So what you are saying is unless you get a freebie from anet you won’t be happy?

I feel discrimated by a company as a loyal customer whereas newcustomer are considered better in everyway.
This is called customer relation and Anet is doing a poor job at it.

So what you are saying is unless you get a freebie from anet you won’t be happy?

They’re giving the entire core game away as freebie, the whole game! I want equal value or I’m not buying.

You are actually 100% correct, they never did make a promise.
And TY, I do like to do some research so I’m not just verbally crapping all over the place. It’s hard to take a stand if you don’t actually know what your standing for.

You can’t claim false advertising if you don’t know whether or not they had this planned from the beginning. If it was planned a week ago and made official the other day, then it’s still not false advertising because they have offered the refunds already to remedy the situation. Now that whole deal is another mess entirely where I can see some of the frustration. But again, you have no proof that it was false advertising.

Say we’re playing some generic MMO, waiting outside a room filled with enemies within a raid dungeon. I’m planning all of what we’re going to do in my head, I have it all thought out. Then I suddenly rush in without warning and die.
Was it my fault I died because I didn’t say anything and just acted, or is it your fault I died because I had this all planned out already and you didn’t follow the plan?

Also, no. They did not offer refunds. More false information-spreading.

As long as you yell LEEEROOOOYYYY JENKINSSSSS it is not your fault..

Can someone dig up a video or official post from Anet where they actually say “I promise this” or “I promise that”

I’m not sure they ever “promised” anything, I’m thinking they said things and people took those are promises. People change their minds all the time. Some things have to change to get better.

If they didn’t do a pinky swear with you personally I wouldn’t take it as a promise.

So you would be perfectly fine if say you purchase the xpac and a month down the road they “change their mind” and decide they aren’t going to release it ? Here’s the kicker, no refunds, after all people change their minds all the time right ?

Seeing as that would never happen and I already think of you as a troll. I have nothing else to respond to you. :P

You don’t have to respond, but I am curious why you would think it would never happen ? I mean we are talking about a company that just insinuated to (I’ll guess and say thousands) of people that they needed to buy the game prior to the xpac, only to “change their minds”.

Still waiting for proof that Anet actually said “I Promise”

Can you link me to any other game that had a pre-order for an expansion and they decided to just drop it and not refund its players? If not well it would never happen.

Why would I link something that doesn’t exist ? I have never said anywhere that Anet made a promise. I did say they insinuated, which is why my question is relevant. They are insinuating that they will be releasing an expansion, they have not promised they are releasing one.

You seem to be full of information and I keep hearing others saying Anet broke a promise. I thought maybe you could help me solve the issue since I really don’t think Anet actually said “I promise”

Take it as a complement.

As long as the core game remains only available while it is attached to HoT it is no longer an expansion. It has become the standalone core game because the only way to get the core game is to purchase HoT.

Can still buy it on amazon.

Would like to point out that the Ultimate edition will not be an available option for you to upgrade if you if choose another version.

Note that the Ultimate edition is only available for purchase in-game and via buy.guildwars2.com. Additionally, there won’t be an option to upgrade to the Ultimate edition later if you decide to purchase the Standard or Deluxe edition

I have been busy lately and I haven´t read it all yet so take this lightly.

Have the devs said that there will be no char slot with the standard edition? Because all I have found so far are the descriptions of the packages you can buy. And nowhere it says that there is no slot. What does it say though is that there is ADDITIONAL slot with delux and ultimate editions. So, does standard edition have ONE slot and delulx/ultimate TWO SLOTS ( hence one additional slot) or is there NONE in standard and ONE in delulx/ultimate?

Has anyone ever officialy said which one of the options it is? E3 presentation maybe?

And again, I am not up to date with informations.

The way I read it was the standard doesn’t include a character slot. The deluxe and ultimate versions do. To be honest you may have just nailed one of the problems that many people have. Now the hard part will be to get Anet to include the free slot in the standard version (maybe by saying ops we left this out) and the deluxe and ultimate would get two extra slots. I really think if they did do that a lot of angry players would not be angry anymore.

white knight
noun
a person or thing that comes to someone’s aid.
a person or company making an acceptable counteroffer for a company facing a hostile takeover bid.

The second part may not apply because I’m not aware of any hostile takeovers, but you are coming to the aid of Anet are you not ?

Well you can thank who ever said white knights/white knighting ruin this game. So I take that name as being offensive seeing as I already supported it so there is no way I ruined this game for others..

I am far from closed minded, I understand why some people are not upset, I don’t agree but I understand. Just as I understand why people are upset (multiple reasons) and agree with some, not all.

I unlike you have stated several times each and everyone of us have the right to believe what we like, we have the right to our opinions. I also unlike yourself have not tried to shove my opinion down peoples throats, I have disagreed and explained my reasoning, I have even corrected people on both sides of the fence when they are using misinformation.

There is a very large difference, I am standing up for my morals, you seem to be just outright trying to shoot down anyone who has a different opinion.

Tell me am I wrong ? have you been a little over zealous with your opinion and how others should feel ? You have the right to disagree with people, you don’t have the right to try and tell them what to feel or think.

You have personally quoted me in several threads and keep calling me a white knight.. Have you not? So by calling me some name I really just look at you as a troll. Simple as that.

I dont think you quite understand what that name means

I edited above and that’s the reason why. Its still a name. I also been called a fanboy and an kitten kisser as well.

Share with us this big picture,

i must be having a hard time seeing past the lies, arrogance, and greed.

Well if you can get past all that, the picture I have is Anet tried to do something to bring in more players. More players will benefit us all in the long run. The more players we have around, the more likely those players will buy things from the gem store as many of us have done over the times to help support the game.

The more support they get from the players the more new content they can create. The more content that they can create will give us more stuff to do in the game. They want to create stuff so that the players stick around and the free content that they have pushed out over the years just wasn’t enough to keep the players in the game.

Yes they make money as well but if you look at feedback and stuff they actually do listen to the players (not all the time) and try to create things for the players to enjoy. Yes it is Anets game but really the players are the ones that will help support it and keep the game going for years to come.

The only argument that I can agree on with people is the price of the expansion since everyone’s budget is not the same. I really do understand those players.

The ones I don’t get are the people demanding something free because new players get a free copy of the core game. I don’t get the veterans that say we got nothing but had years of free updates. I don’t get how people are so upset they need another character slot when you don’t get one for each profession to begin with.

Because, it is not an expansion, half the features released with it do not require HoT to use, (None of Wvw or stronghold for example)( guild halls kind of falls in this since you dont need to own HoT to utilize them)

I know WvW they will probably not but I think stronghold and guild halls require HoT. You could be right but from what I’ve read the guild halls lie in the jungle and I don’t think you can access the jungle without HoT. Like I said you could be right.

nope strongholds has been confirmed to not require HoT, because it would restrict players.

It’ll be a joke of the industry if this pre purchase cos them a huge loss of playerbase^^

Won’t be much a joke when the player base rises from all the new players that received a free copy of the core game ^^

They will lose there title of having the friendliest players, all that will be left are bitter arrogant people who can afford to take care of themselves and not worry about others.

while all the people are out patting themselves on the back for buying the $100 per purchase.
we are here trying to fight for justice and make this a fair deal for everyone and so everyone can enjoy the game.

I’m pretty sure the friendly players are the ones buying it and will be sticking around. If anything they will be losing a bunch closed minded angry players and I’m fine with that.

Maybe then I can enjoy PVP more

You probably shouldn’t use the term “closed minded” it pretty much sums up everyone of your posts today.

You’re entitled to your opinion and all but you not exactly being open minded yourself.

Pretty much the same with everyone of your posts.

I say close minded because they are only seeing it one way and not the big picture at the end. I have the big picture painted in my head already. Maybe I should use a different term so if you could give me one I’ll use that from now on.

Can someone dig up a video or official post from Anet where they actually say “I promise this” or “I promise that”

I’m not sure they ever “promised” anything, I’m thinking they said things and people took those are promises. People change their minds all the time. Some things have to change to get better.

If they didn’t do a pinky swear with you personally I wouldn’t take it as a promise.

HoT Price Feedback + Base game included [merged]

I bought the ultimate version as well. Got my 4000 gems and all the other bonuses as well. I usually convert my gold to gems to get things like minis, finishers, bag slots, character slots and bank tabs so I thought this was the best deal. Probably have enough gems to last me a while now

Prepurchase Suggestions

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

3) The package for new players includes a generous bundle of both the expansion and core game in one purchase. People are not arguing that added value for new players is bad. A better alternative would be giving existing players can get an additional account code (with their purchase) for gifting to another friend. Thus prepurchase becomes a referral promotion to grow the community.

I think most people that buy HoT want to jump right into it. If you just get a code to give to a friend well you can only play with him in the core version. If he upgrades to HoT well then he gets a code as well. You get a code, and you get a code, and you get a code. That’s a lot of codes being passed around.

Also if it is a free code, whats to stop people from selling those codes to try to scam people and make money. There are tons of scams out there especially on the internet. I even recall a thread here once about some site selling HoT when HoT wasn’t even available yet. Giving out free game codes is not a very good idea IMO.

It’ll be a joke of the industry if this pre purchase cos them a huge loss of playerbase^^

Won’t be much a joke when the player base rises from all the new players that received a free copy of the core game ^^

Except the Megaservers aren’t ridiculously priced and bite older players who don’t want to buy the core game twice in the butt.

Try again.

If you think you are buying it twice, do some math.

First Step:

Take what you payed when you originally bought the game. Now add to that number the standard price for HoT which is 50. Write that number down.

Second Step:

Take what you payed when you originally bought the game. Now times that by 2. Now add the standard price for HoT which is 50. Write that number down.

Third Step:

Look at those numbers. If the Second number is greater than the first you did not buy it twice.

Most Players: We want changes! We want changes!

:: Game changes ::

Some Players: That’s not the change I wanted. I’m done with this game.

Played Aion when it became free to play but only played for about a month before I got bored with it.

Blade & soul looks good. Will try it when it comes this way

Lineage II lasted for me maybe 2 weeks

Wildstar had a sub fee but gave those up after WoW and FFXIV

Now gw2. Been playing for over 2 years, play each day and for many hours per day. Will continue to do so until this game is no longer fun to me. I mainly WvW so unless they really mess up this game mode, I will be around for a long time.

LMAO, he starts off with saying Anet fly him over to his offices to test out new stuff, as well as support him. So why should we listen to what he says now? Everything he says will of course be to please his masters.

Anet never flew me out anywhere, doesn’t support me yet I agree with his video. Maybe its because of the way he goes about it and see’s it from different angles instead of demanding something or raging like a little kid that tries to hold his breath till he gets what he wants.

Keep holding your breath guys. Worst thing that will happen is you pass out.

Frankly I don’t think the argument “other MMO’s are doing it” is a good reason to defend poor customer treatment, and an overpriced product.

Thats because it is a logical fallacy that only a fanboy would attempt.

Actually this one backfired on him.
Because when WoW did it (not exactly the same than with GW2).
They offered freebies to existing players that owns all add ons.

You also have to pay a monthly fee for wow so the freebies you got you actually were paying for.

So here’s a question… that “beta” character slot I/we get for pre-purchasing… we get to keep that, right?

Did the first beta test and it gave me the beta slot. Didn’t get into second beta test and the beta slot was gone. So no you won’t get to keep that slot.

It was more of a joke. People down vote videos all the time because well they have nothing better to do.

His comments are not sincere, he is your stereotypical white knight. He loves this game therefore everyone must agree and love this game, all other are doomed to fail because he rides for Anet.

If he was sincere he would have simply said best of luck to you, enjoy your new game without the oh and BTW that game sucks, followed by insinuating he will be back.

The radical white knights are more toxic for this game then all the people voicing their concerns combined.

LOL haters gonna hate

He seems pretty bob-on with his summary.

His channel is actually on my block list so the link takes me back to the main page, lol.

I don’t do cheerleading channels, I have the Guild Wars 2 (new) FAQ for that.

Are you not the guy that made this post?

Seems you only like journalists who have the same views as you do. Going to be funny when some of your favorite journalists see it the same way as these other guys. Guess you’ll have more channels on your block list soon.

Why should I pre order?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: briggah.7910

briggah.7910

I’d say if you like to beta content before it becomes available to everyone, you should pre-order. You will have access to any up coming open betas so you don’t have to rely on farming for a beta portal or hoping your name gets picked from the mailing list.

The only other thing I can think of is it will upgrade your account so as soon as HoT launches you will be ready. Would think you’d need to patch/download the new content but the second it becomes live you will be ready to do what ever you have to, to jump right in.
