GWEN will we get new chr slots?

I tried search to find out and wasnt able to.Might have not put it the right way.Anyways will there be new slots for GWEN?I know it isnt a stand alone game but I am curious.

No new professions...expansion is solely for existing characters created in the other campaigns (ie no "GW:EN characters")....no additional character slots needed. According to Anet.

I believe they confirmed there would be no character slots included with GW:EN

I thought that maybe the case but thought I ask anyways.
Thank you

We GWON'T...

and it cost $39.99 . They should include a slot

Disappointing ain't it?

It should be no more than $29.99 for what GWEN offers compared to what the other campaigns offered and their debut price. I don't remember any 'expansion' being this expensive, and I played a lot of RTS & rpg.

It's not an expansion, it's basically a new campaign's worth of content, meant for existing characters.

uh, first of all you just defined a what an expansion is, and second of all Anet calls it their 'first true expansion'

What I mean is that it has so much content as much as Factions as Nightfall, it costs as much. It's only called an expansion because it requires one of the three campaigns.

First of all, on topic: No new char slots for GW:EN.

And off topic: If anything there will be more content in GW:EN. There will be no newbie island, it will all be level 20 content. I think the price is fair.

I disagree that Gwen will have the same amount of contents as nightfall or factions. The most obvious thing is no new professions. Which in my opinion is not a bad thing, but it certainly means a lot less work. When you take a look at the world of Tyria or nightfall, its certainly extensive and I would venture to guess to be much bigger than then 18 dungeons crawls.

This expansion is going to be primarily pve oriented and with that objective it would make sense that they include an extra slot or two. If they somehow increase the storage instead, I would be happy too. Its very hard to sell things in gw (No auction house), give us more space then to store our loot while we sift through spam trying to sell the items.

Uh, the "18 dungeon crawls" will not be the whole game. That's just One Act. Out of 4.

The fact that Anet developers don't have to create a newbie island and new profs and skills means more time devoted to content: Ie, this should be the biggest GW world yet in terms of post-20 content.


Actually, since it's post level 20, it makes since there will be no extra slots. Why offer a new slot, and then be unable to use that slot in the expansion?

If you want a new character, buy a slot now and level up before GWEN.

Extra storage would be nice. I hope that is offered.

I would hope you're right, but in the event that anet has yet to comment on either the availability of increased storage or character slots, it would be wise to lobby on both fronts.

Let's hope there is some storage/chest vault expansion since we don't have extra toon slot

I think we should get one or two extra anyway. I mean honestly, how are we meant to keep interested for the next two years without being able to start new characters? I know we can buy new character slots, but honestly, I think we deserve some reward for our long service to the game...

well keep posting your position in this thread to get Anet's attention. We need to know if there is going to be slots or expansion on storage

The other two instalments came with 4 characters slots as standalones, or 2 character slots if linked to an existing game. A character slot costs $10. The games were $49 when released. So logically broken down that's $30 for the game and $20 for the slots. This new one cuts out two character slots ($20 value), but only cuts the price by $10. I'm probably not speaking just for myself when i say, there had best be a truly impressive amount of content in order to make up for that other $10. At 25% of the games price, I'll expect 25% more content to play through.

-no new classes
-no new char slots
-150 new skill compared to 350 in nf/300 in factions/ and 201 in prophecies
-40 new armors compared to 84 in factions/72 prophecies/ and lord knows how many for nf.

im sure theres more, but please, explain how it's "a new campaign's" worth of content.

btw, above came out of the OFFICIAL press release off guildwars.com

This is just wrong. Without additional slots, the expansion is simply 10$ more expensive than a standalone game.
It doesn't matter that there are no new professions, every single slot is very useful.
I would certainly prefer to pay 50$ for gw:en and get 2 slots than pay 40$ and get none.
It's simply unfair.
