Casual players don't use Ursan.

Lmao Novemember 29th... Anet sure is a lazy bunch..

I gotta admit, they've done a great job at lowering my expectations of their work ethic every time they release something.

all you had to do to get the bmp was buy GWEN from the ingame store...

Don't you really understand why it'll be out on the 29th?
So that on the 30th Anet can release the patched build which will actually make the BMP playable, and fix the new bugs to the old chapters introduced with the pack xD xD

I'm laughing but crying.

Precisely.

I'll still be mildly surprised if it's out by the 29th November.

actually I was really firm on not getting gwen but finally bought because some guildies had and were playing but I got for 29.99 at futureshop today on sale (canada). I don't get BMP but I am not crazy about that and have a hardcopy of game + disc as well. I did preview too but that was enough to put my off for a while from buying it. so they barely made Nov promised date so give some reviews if these 4 missions or whatever are worth anything.

And I didn't buy GW:EN at all, therefore, saved $40 for my X-Box.

Finally xD

Hopefully there will be some new farming spots there that wont be nerfed for a wee bit.

They are Missions, so what, about an hour each? 4 hours is what I expect, maybe a little less, maybe a little more.

Yeah, but you're forgetting the direction GW is going. I expect each mission to last 30 minutes. Completion of a mission might be a collector's item like a white bone. BMP introduces new collectors. Give collector 10,000 white bones to get a new piece of 'leet armour. Play time = 30 min * 10,000 * 4= 20,000 hours

Who doens't procrastinate? I have a Science project due on November 30, and I'll do it all on November 29...

i dont see why it takes so long to release it, it should have been released november 1st, it has been adverdised in the gw store since june, its not like its a whole game...shouldnt take that long imo

A11Eur0 · Nov 22, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

I'm wondering why everyone is getting so uppity about it being late in the month. It's not like there's a time limit to play the missions before it closes again...most of you H+H it anyway so getting in early so you have plenty of parties to choose from is a poor excuse...

Why such a strong opinion about something you didn't even really pay for being "later than expected" but on-time according to announcements?

Why do you care? They only have a few people working on it.

aaje vhanli · Nov 22, 2007, 02:20 AM // 02:20

Maybe we'll be surprised and these missions will actually... truly.... really.... be impressive (at least to the majority of us since there are always cry babies). Maybe...

Either way, it's coming out some time. Unless some of us are dying between now and December, I don't see what the hurry is.

And if you ARE dying between now and December, you should be enjoying some of the better things in life.

Lady Raenef · Nov 22, 2007, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Am I the only one who is willing to say...

I can't wait until it comes out, because I can care less about the date?! I'll only be happy if I'm homework free, and ready to kick some butt!

I saw a guy with double swords on his back in an image. That better be a younger Anton, or Imma cry.

If you bought GW:EN from a store, your money is divided into these areas:
- The stores markup
- Distribution costs
- NCSoft/ANET's part of the money.

If you buy online you remove the store markup and reduce the distribution costs. So even if the price at the online store was a bit cheaper than physical stores, ANET/NCSoft still get more money.

I bet your are the hardest working Calvinist walking on earth ... who are you to judge their work ethic?

Seriously guyz, when i read this thread it's like gods bowing over some mortals that don't work hard enough to get their blessing ... get real ... there is already tons of content you haven't finished (if spent some time in real life).

And honestly whats the big deal with this BMP anyway ?!?!?!
29th, 30th november or december ... whats the diff?
When they said November did you expect the 1st?
It's still November so they doing fine on their deadlines!

Peace out,

You do realize, if you bought GW:EN in the in-game store, Anet made a bigger cut than if you were to buy it in a retail store? This is like math 101 people. When you buy the game from a retailer, you pay for the shipping costs, stores' markup, Areanet's employees, Packaging costs, and probably a few others I'm missing. Buying it from the in-game store eliminates at least shipping cost, store markup, and packaging. This means Areanet gets more money for less work.

But But But it's cheaper, then in the store. A whole 5 euro's cheaper.
