6th Anniversary Shop Discounts? - Guild Wars Forums

SmilingPolitely · May 04, 2011, 06:07 AM // 06:07

According to the GWG main page:

"And not only that, Guild Wars would like to celebrate through June 9th by offering many deals on such items as costume packs, character slots, mission packs and more, all reduced up to 50% in the NCsoft Store."

I do realize it says "up to 50% off," but I'm only seeing a discount for a mere handful of costumes and nothing else. Are those the only items that will be discounted? I apologize if this has changed over the last couple of days; I haven't been able to get online.

StormX · May 04, 2011, 06:18 AM // 06:18

i believe they offer discounts for different items every week. waiting on mecenary heros discount here.

Dagoth Umbra · May 04, 2011, 06:25 AM // 06:25

Yeah, I was willing to get the mercenary hero slots for 50% off, but no discount as of yet, and I am not paying full price for that. Hopefully they will off that soon.

Acehole2006 · May 04, 2011, 06:36 AM // 06:36

Pure speculation but I do not think they will be reducing Mecenary Hero slots price as its not been released that long ago.

I could be wrong.

Would be more expecting other things like "campaigns" and "packs"(like pet. skills etc)

Ah, I see. I had been under the impression that the discounts would only last until Thursday. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah, just wait around and whatever you have your eye on buying will more than likely be discounted.

Storage space, name changes, makeovers, skill packs, animal packs, campaigns, the expansion, merc packs. who knows what they will discount in the coming weeks.

Dzjudz · May 04, 2011, 12:22 PM // 12:22

From the Massively update preview article:

Quote:

Six weeks of sales kick off in the NCsoft store today with a generous markdown on the costumes introduced with Hearts of the North. Have you been considering purchasing more storage, an extreme makeover, another character slot, the Bonus Mission Pack, or Eye of the North? You might want to hold off on that, because over the next six weeks you'll have a chance to get each of those at a discount.

That is 6 items over 6 weeks:
- HotN (wedding) costumes: on sale right now
- Storage Panes
- Extreme Makeover
- Character Slots
- Bonus Mission Pack
- Eye of the North

They've been right about all other things as well, so my guess is that each of these 6 items will be discounted for a week.

That means no Merc sale.

Am I the only one that gets a network error window when I try to enter the store?
My network is perfectly functional everywhere else

Dzjudz · May 04, 2011, 01:18 PM // 13:18

NCSoft store:

Do the discounts go toward the In-Game store? I cannot access my plaync account. so.... that REALLY sucks if I cant get discounted items.
Thanks

N1ghtstalker · May 05, 2011, 06:41 PM // 18:41

storage panes
i was hoping on discounts for char slots but it seems only rubbish content is sold at a discount

i wonder who's choosing these items, it can't be someone with a degree in marketing, they would be smart and discount some of the more usable stuff instead of costumes

dbuffett · May 05, 2011, 07:06 PM // 19:06

I am also waiting to purchase a character slot (maybe two, one for a ranger and the other for a permanent pre-searing), but I am still going to purchase two storage panels. My OCD makes it hard to get rid of anything.

Widowmaker · May 05, 2011, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Did they get the Xunlai storage panels price wrong at the in-game store or are they usually ??10.99 each?

You are welcome.

Dzjudz · May 05, 2011, 10:11 PM // 22:11

The current discount is Storage Panes so it's pretty safe to assume the Massively list is correct, meaning Mercs will not get a discount anytime soon.

judgemental · May 05, 2011, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Storage panes are definitely not ??10.99 normally.

Storage panes are usually ??6.99. 50% off would make them ??3.49.

So why are they currently ??5.49 instead?

**cosyfiep** · May 05, 2011, 11:19 PM // 23:19

from the official site:

Quote:

* 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

so now you know what and when....

Dzjudz · May 05, 2011, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Cool, that settles that then, no mercs

??5.49 doesn't sound right. Here, they are discounted from EUR 8,99 (normally) to EUR 3,99 (now). That's over 50% off!

Godefridus · May 06, 2011, 09:58 AM // 09:58

On the strange ?? prices. There apparently was a bug which allegedly is now resolved:

So if you continue to observe the wrong price then you should contact support.
