Well you get some ingame weapons from doing the missions but I would say unless you enjoy solo missions you should stay the hell away from it, personally I loathe solo missions.

I'd say get it if you like the skins, once you play the missions a few times they get pretty boring and you will likely never play them again.

* Storage Panes – May 5 to May 12
* Bonus Mission Pack – May 12 to May 19
* Makeover /Makeover Pack – May 19 to May 26
* Guild Wars: Eye of the North – May 26 to June 2
* Character Slot – June 2 to June 9

Why not just release all sales now, people will just buy what they want to buy anyways. I want the Char slots but I have to wait til June. >.<

Yeah bmp is kinda lame in the end. I've never played em again since they came out. I hate solo missions, specifically because you can't play your own character, you actually turn into someone else.

I got the panes, I might get a make over pack and some char slots but the spacing between them is a bit lame I guess. I'd hate to be on holiday for a week just when something I really wanted was on sale. On month with some sales at the same time would've suited me better. Oh well.

Absolute Destiny · May 13, 2011, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Yeah, the only thing I want is cheaper char slots.

Mainly so I can get a perma-pre ranger and get LDOA.

And maybe finally play an assassin for more than just the Shing Jea missions.
Got fed up with the playstyle on my first one after Zen Daijun.
Especially since I have a few Thunderfist's Brass Knuckles that should be put to use.

I don't understand this myself, they need to start copying steam, put a few items on sale per week, this 1 lame item per week sale is a dumb idea,

Just thinking about it, one male of each class + one female of each class is 20, but it's nice they give you an extra 5 for mules.

In my opinion, for this cheap price, it is.
You get 4 solo missions, each consisting out of 6 "parts" or "chapters". They're short stories where you get to play as some of the famous guild wars characters (such as Master Togo or Gwen).
The builds are fun to play, the missions are entertaining and the reward weapons are very pretty in my opinion (I especially love the tengu weapons):

The skins are awesome, and I don't mind the solo missions..but I don't think I can stand playing the missions over and over again to get the weapons I want. It IS cheap though...mmmmmmmm

StormX · May 14, 2011, 07:17 AM // 07:17

why not 50% off everything in the online store for one month. this is fail. the only things i'd consider buying are maybe costumes and a mercenary slot, which arent even on sale

My guess is that their merc sales must be doing quite well so they deem that there is no need to hold a discount on merc slots when the demand is so high.

You can gauge this demand by looking at the high prices and low availability of the popular runes in the rune trader inventory.

I think they could have made the BMP a lot more popular than it is now. The BMP was released in a time in GW history where ANet was more sensitive to player's rant on micro transactions giving players unfair advantages in the game.

They could have tried things like:

1. Reset the Discovery mode bonus goals every once in a while, kind of like the repeating weekend events. Right now, these can only be completed once per account which is lame. Such an implementation means there is no incentive to play the BMP missions again after you have accomplished all the discoveries ONCE, besides just getting another customized weapon.

Nowadays a 2.5k reward every once in a long while is not a big deal, and with WiK we have an easier way of getting weapons anyway.

2. Attach a title to it so players can grind at those missions repeatedly. The BMP weapons are not even displayable in HoM unlike the WiK weapons.

It is ANet's fault that their BMP is not selling as well as it could be. Because it has almost zero value after you have made all the discoveries, which is not difficult.

Yeah but this is it. It's about opinions, like everything. You like it, but I know I hate having to play premade builds and I currently use NONE of the bmp skins. In fact they weren't as nice as they seemed at first. But...that's my opinion.

For me the bmp was just one of these things I wasn't hoping for them to put on sale.

The panes yes, the customisation packs are cool and yes the character slot one will have me buying a few more slots. I just wish I could buy all of that now in one go, instead of now postponing my plans for a new pre searing character for another couple of weeks because of the way the sale is organised.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the discounts but I guess it's not really done in a practical way.

bhavv · May 15, 2011, 01:33 AM // 01:33

I bought 4 panels. I have 15 slots on my main account and my storage was still full with loads of PVP mules.

The storage panes are a lot more convenient.

Plutoman · May 15, 2011, 02:07 AM // 02:07

I was going to buy panels, but forgot about it.. Besides which, shopping for the gf's birthday shot my funds. Can't think of others I'd want. Maybe the makeover.

esthetic · May 15, 2011, 01:19 PM // 13:19

I got an idea to boost BMP sales through the roof...

Make completing all three missions a HoM accomplishment, or make a weapon from the BMP one for the HoM.

So more like 26 + 9 (4 Proph, 2 Factions, 2 Nightfall, 1 prerelease Nightfall).

About a couple of years back I tried to buy a slot and it would not let me I have 25 slots. Since I have no need for another slot I will not try to get another one to test how many you can get.

Arduin · May 17, 2011, 09:45 AM // 09:45

Okay. I never tested it myself.

Qing Guang · May 17, 2011, 05:42 PM // 17:42

Hmm, a little extra content and some neat skins for 5 bucks? Sounds reasonable.

I'm a little annoyed they aren't putting the merc packs on sale ever though. I would have got a few if they were 50% off, but the normal prices are exorbitant.
