Curse

No, I wouldn't. There's barely any content in the current BMP (an hours worth of missions, repeatable), and guild wars 1 is dead. what would the point of more be... like digging up a corpse to put a new cheap suit on it every 6 months... maybe GW1 needs a funeral so the last batch of chumps can get over it.

freaky naughty · Jan 29, 2008, 10:55 PM // 22:55

ten bucks for two hours of new content? Yea right.

dirran · Jan 29, 2008, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Not after what was done with the BMP marketing.

The Little Viking · Jan 29, 2008, 10:57 PM // 22:57

Definatly would buy. I love (and needed) a new challange. I love the fact that i can repeat the quessts and its a great way to get some real good weapons for heros. (Even though I am currently working on getting destroyer weapons for the heros I use most).
But a BIG YES I would buy more if they were available.

RedNova88 · Jan 29, 2008, 11:08 PM // 23:08

Yes I would. I don't have a credit/debit card and doubt I ever will so if I could find it in stores I would happily purchase it.

I don't mind that it's 2 hours of content for 10 dollars. Most games I see these days can be completed in a single sitting, and those are 40-60 dollars depending on your platform so 10 dollars is nothing really.

Dead by what standards? Last I checked there were still a LOT of people playing. I'm guessing you weren't around for the double SS/LB weekend? The fact they're still releasing new content only proves the fact you're a moron.

Or do you actually think they'd continue to release new updates and sell content packs for something nobody is actually playing?

Also, have you ever considered how much you'd be paying for a typical MMO? I'd rather pay for individual packs like this, that I'm actually going to play and enjoy, rather than paying a ridiculous amount every month for content I'm never going to touch. Thank you very much.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but yours is just wrong.

I would purchase more BMP's. I love the GW lore.. so the more the better!

Melinda1984 · Jan 29, 2008, 11:57 PM // 23:57

if they just sold them instead of the whole "limited promotion" thing they did with this one yeah i would!

its good quality and adds a new challenge to the game to keep us busy untill gw 2 comes out

but i think they should put them in a box and sell them in store im not bothered about boxes but there are so many out there who cant get a credit or debit card that there should be other options

and gw 1 is far from dead matie have you seen how many people are still playing?

and theres people still buying the game for the first time
i bought prophices 3 months ago just coz it looked interesting
next thing you know ive bought factions, nightfall and eotn and since then both my brothers and sister have bought the games and they used to play wow before but like gw much more =)

I'd think about it if it was co-op and I was playing my own characters, I got bored with it pretty rapidly to be honest. I only bother playing it to get to the weapons if I want to put something on one of my characters.

If it was more of the same then no, probably not.

Phaern Majes · Jan 30, 2008, 12:03 AM // 00:03

I wouldn't. I buy new content for just that the content, not the lore. As new bonus missions wouldn't really offer much other than new lore there would be no point. I can already get max weapons for all my heroes with the original BMP.

Nevin · Jan 30, 2008, 12:17 AM // 00:17

10 Dollars "Xunlai Market Expansion"

All characters gain access to Xunlai Market outpost located on an isle west of Balthazar's Temple.

Pan Head · Jan 30, 2008, 12:20 AM // 00:20

i would say at this point i would buy more BMP's if they offered them.

I also seen this thread that had some good ideas if it was done right.

check it on for ideas on how to do more BMP's

Yeh, well if they start pulling the 'charging separately for every minute piece of content' stunt, I'll be going elsewhere. I'd rather pay a subscription and get a big game with regular content updates than play these naff micropayment so-called free to play games.

Harmless · Jan 30, 2008, 12:39 AM // 00:39

Yes, I would buy a new BMP.

Yawgmoth · Jan 30, 2008, 01:11 AM // 01:11

Don't you all realise the GW business model we loved is changing?
It's not that most fair system anymore, of pay once and get a complete game, free to play forever, along with free updates. It was the same for 2 years and it worked, Factions and Nightfall were full games that added a lot of new content, whole new professions and hundreds of skills, new gametypes, completely new features. If the content was not finished (some 15k armors, DoA) it was added later on in free updates. All 3 campagins were worth their prices and set high standards to which everything else can be compared.

And then came GW:EN and it didn't add any extra character slots but still costed which didn't have and immediately my personal alarm went "Attention! You're about to pay More for Less!" - 10$ less but 2 slots less was certainly a worse deal than previous releases and it was an Expansion, not even a full game.
And it was even worse after playing it - every dungeon map repeated 3-5 times, ~30 of 40 armors being just lame reskins, many of them being easily the worst pieces in all GW, looking more like placeholder art than anything else. And the epic failure of HoM. Even worse thing - the rushed and incomplete things won't get updated, we got that promised!

And now with BMP on sale, the amount of new content is a tiny tiny bit of a full game, something between 5-8% the size, but the price is far higher!

GW is changing into a micropayments business model, it's becoming like all the other free to play mmos with Premium Item shops - in a game where all the economy is about vanity and looking cool the best items are being sold for real $$$. That + the skill unlock packs for people who suck at pvp is like selling "I WIN" buttons, exactly what the other free mmo's are doing and exactly the reason I'm not playing them.

What would you prefer - to get 15 "Bonus" Mission packs and spend 150$ or buy the same amount of content as 1 complete product for 50$ ??
The good old fair GW business model goes bye bye.

aTT!kus · Jan 30, 2008, 01:44 AM // 01:44

id buy another BMP if it was 10 bucks, any more and its not worth it

3. The Asura scape their tunnels.

bj91x · Jan 30, 2008, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Heck no.

I don't like solo missions and I don't like using pre-made builds. Two things that go against what makes GW so great.

MsMassacre · Jan 30, 2008, 02:27 AM // 02:27

Not if they were solo content with set skill bars like the current BMP. That was a huge disappointment. If they were more like normal gameplay I probably would.

Zonzai · Jan 30, 2008, 02:31 AM // 02:31

I didn't like the BMP.

So, no, I wouldn't buy another. Some of the weapons look decent though. It's always nice to have something to give to a hero. But really, I don't give a flying... monkey. I'll play em if I can get them for free, like the last one.
