With the announcement of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns expansion pre-purchase available to players, both old and new, came an avalanche of flustered consumers. Just drama from the community or an honest disparity between cost and value, Justin, an avid GW2 player, shares his opinion and findings.
Wccftech talked to Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis about the learnings from the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and what's coming to the MMORPG.
The "slippery slope" debate has started, now we wait to see what ArenaNet does.
"ArenaNet and NCSOFT are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the "Secrets of the Obscure" expansion for their award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG "Guild Wars 2"." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Anet also announced the 5th expansion. "We’ve already started applying lessons from the development of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure to our fifth expansion, which we expect to be released next year." From their site, been with this game since 1st beta, and announcing the 5th expansion so soon, the game is doing very well, plus the graphics are improved a bit now that it's on DX11🙃
While I haven't played GW2, I can completely understand the universal distrust and annoyance felt by this community now. Shitty business practices are understood by all
I kinda think, with all the public outcry over the past... what, 6 hours, Anet might change something up? I mean... I've never seen reddit so angry before.
There is no sub fee, how is £35 expensive. Other MMOs charge more per expansion and have sub fees.
