well rip this game its not the respect your time and wallet game it used to be. im not wasting my money every year for a little more content. and locking a new weapon type behind dlc? are you kidding me?

Buying DLC content that is given over a year time is getting, with all respect, kind of annoying, for the simple fact that I like to know what I am getting for my money instead of getting spoon-fed with content that I may like or not.

Very excited for the new content! Looking forward to it!

Remember people, while getting hyped for the new expansion might be your go to mindset without thinking about it, the realistic expectations bus is the way to go.
The trailer looked pretty, but we got no idea how big the new maps will be or how many options the housing system will have.

Lets wait and see what the game has in store for us. Ask a friend if they play it when the expac comes out. Get their opinion on it and stuff, and ask them to be honest about it. Word of mouth from a friend is always better than a YouTuber or content creator, since you know your friends better than you know them :)

I'm looking forward to it. theres too many haters. I'm legit excited for the concept of an open world raid so i'm guessing it will be like a more challenging meta i wonder how they'll handle it.

Although I didn't play a lot like used to be, I'm gonna buy it to support the game still
Long live the GW2

Hyped for all the new content and cool additions!

New PVP mode in development sounds nice too, i like when MMO dev team acknowledges it's pvp playerbase also, even tho for sure in most games majority is always PVE focused players, so the love to PVP enjoyers is a nice warm feeling. And gets my money for sure.

A must buy expansion with cool features for me definitely!

Finally getting a home also, and no longer just curl to sleep like a cat on the streets at Salma District.

Still can't buy anything but standard on Steam accounts, huh? Why do you hate Steam users? Why even bother putting it on Steam and promoting the other editions if you're gonna deny the tiers to users here?

no worries captain, ima pre-order this for me and my friends, it's extremely cheap and housing alone is worth the money.

You can probably get the Deluxe Edition again same way as was with SotO, first buy the Standard Edition, then in game Gem Store opens possibility to Upgrade to the Deluxe Edition, so it was with with SotO and so it's still for Steam users who wanna upgrade some expansion to Deluxe to get the extra collectibles etc if into those.

But yes, i agree in that would be cool if we here on Steam had all the same options and all just instantly on Steam Store easily to just buy. We haz money, our Steam Wallets and bodies are ready to buy and consume products. ^^ So i suspect it has something to do with Anet client and Steam Client being different platforms and the monetization/Steam ToS etc what comes to then refunds etc policies on such editions. So most likely that is the reason for us Steam account enjoyers to have sadly things a bit differently. Same is on many other games, especially on MMO games with standalone clients. It is what it is. Even FF14 has differences and cannot do cross-platform purchases etc.

I really like the idea of this expansion but I just hope that Anet can perhaps do some more marketing and revitalise the player population so that it doesn't feel so lonely.

why are they still making updates for this game? nobody plays it anymore, and hitting up the last few players who thinks this game has a future just makes anet look scummy. They are vulnerable, deluded people. How do I hide notifications about this dead game anyway?

So not at all the same as the better additions non-Steam users get? That was my entire point... Non-Steam users get basically free upgrade with the purchase of gems. They could easily put in an upgrade for the biggest edition with gems in the in-game store if they wanted. Would let people upgrade to the biggest edition with the gems regardless of platform too.
