I would buy the current BMP and any others if it was sold in retail stores, but I doubt they'll have it in Singapore, they don't even have platinum edition here as far as I know.

It said they're only releasing this BMP on retail in North America and Europe right? I need a debit card.

It is interesting how when GW:EN came out, there was a lot of complaining and little praise, but with the BMP it was the opposite: lots of compliments. The only complaints were by those who didn't or couldn't get it.

But, at the end of the day (months), I have spent a heck of a lot more time in GW:EN and really got a lot more for my gaming dollar.

The way it see it is that the BMP was like a small box of exquisite, hand-crafted fine chocolate, and GW:EN is like a year's supply of McDonalds gift-certificates.

The production values of the BMP was really top notch, but is it equivalent to 1/3 of GW:EN? or 1/4 of a full game?

Ah, who am I kidding? I'd buy another BMP.

Zonzai · Jan 30, 2008, 03:30 AM // 03:30

Yeah, I agree. Except McDonalds sucks.

Oh, wait... I get it now!

pumpkin pie · Jan 30, 2008, 03:43 AM // 03:43

yes and McDonalds sucks!

not to put them together, Eye of the north doesn't

How can you "buy" a bonus anyway?

More content at any cost?

Content in the form of mini 'bonus' packs is by far the most expensive possibility, over 3-4x more overpriced than full boxed products. It's just wrong, worse even than subscription models.

I would buy it...I bought it on Monday and was throughly impressed. The skins were nice and the solo missions were quite nice giving insight on classes I haven't played before. I think BMP would be rated like 8/10

Like pansy runner, ghostly hero, mursaat, and prenerfed overpowered ritualist!

Grumpy · Jan 30, 2008, 04:26 AM // 04:26

Yes. I'd buy another one.

For $10, I expect something closer to Sorrow Furnace than the BMP. I value the BMP at about $5-$6.

If BMP is "worth" $10, then how much would Sorrow's Furnace be "worth"? $20? Then a full campaign would be "worth" $80-$100? I think its a tad overpriced, especially if it starts to be regularly sold.

Of course, the $10 price point is probably well researched acceptance level for a market that pays $15/month to Blizzard.

Anet should look into this more carefully. A kinda Per Mission Price, because I believe that consumers would calculate like that if it becomes the standard mode of expansion for GW2.

Horseman Of War · Jan 30, 2008, 04:47 AM // 04:47

Yes...I hope ANet makes more content for GW. Its good stuff.

I got gw:en preordered from gw store. I would have bought it yesterday if I hadnt.

At first I was like "NOOOO I must be the ONLY ONE to have MURSAAT SPEAR!!1!"

But honestly- the employees at arenanet are good and they take pride in their work. I like guildwars and I will continue to support ANet in any future project they undertake. Also, I would still have gotten Gw:En on the online store to kill the middleman.

maraxusofk · Jan 30, 2008, 05:06 AM // 05:06

no. i gotta end my addiction to this kind of microtransaction at its beginning.

concensus gentium

Toutatis · Jan 30, 2008, 06:51 AM // 06:51

Oh yes - I'd definitely buy future mission packs. I've had a lot of fun with the BMP and I'd love to see more

Tazaki · Jan 30, 2008, 06:53 AM // 06:53

While I was impressed by the quality of the BMP, I probably wouldnt buy any if they made more. I got this one due to buying EotN. If they were packaged like that again, sure I would get it. As long as theres something new and worth purchasing in the IGS. Last thing I need is to get more character slots, so if thats all that would be really avaliable, since I own all 3 chapters and EotN, I would probably pass on it.

ShadowStorm · Jan 30, 2008, 08:44 AM // 08:44

They should definitely do at least one more bonus mission pack before the release of Guild Wars 2 so they can keep people interested in the game. I would really enjoy a few more random missions like the ones in the first BMP. They did a really good job on those. So yeah, I'd buy another BMP if they made one.

Nightfall is my first MMORPG in over 20 years.

I've had it about 3 days and played about 14 hours.

I bought the extra skill set yesterday and now I'll probably get the BMP when I get home from work.

Don't let the purists start nagging you for calling GW an MMO.

DOH !

My first post and I'm already stirring the pot , lulz.

Sorry if that's the wrong term to use.

My bad.

Shai Lee · Jan 30, 2008, 10:49 AM // 10:49

NO.

Reasons:
1. Don't like the way BMP promotion was handled the first time.
2. Since it's solo there isn't a lot of will on my part to replay them since I can't enjoy them with friends. Shared experiences together.
3. Yawgmoth makes many many good points.

Mainly for me though, it's all about Reason 1. I'm still displeased.
