So, has anyone received a Portal to the Heart of Maguuma? Mine dropped on Saturday night and I was oh so very stoked :D

Haven't gotten one, but I'm not too fussed about it. I still haven't decided whether I would actually make use of the opportunity to take part in the beta or not. On one hand I'm keen to see what's coming, but on the other, I'd kinda like to be surprised. I've taken part in too many betas over the past couple of years, and it does end up taking a bit of the shine out of a launch.

That's usually the case with me, except for the GW2 beta. Playing the beta weekends got me so incredibly stoked for release instead of taking the shine out of it. I also have plenty of fond memories of my beta weekend times...back then, people in WvW were easily fooled by Mesmer clones. It made for some serious ownage :D
 
A bunch of updates have been posted about Guild Halls as to how they are implemented in the coming expansion - https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/ - it seems that getting one is going to involve a fair bit of work.

Might be a bit much for my poor and mostly inactive guild to manage, but I'll shout out to inactives closer to the time to see if I can get some interest going :)
 
Seems you are going you need at least 15 people to clear the area to be able to claim your guild hall, and then guilds are going to have to clear other aread before they can claim them ...

Not sure of whst that implies for guilds yet but will see ...

Must still poll the Guild about who would be willing to help other small Guilds to get their own Guild Hall

To be sure - I'm not pre-purchasing. Yet.

It's a little above what I was expecting to see, so I'm going to wait and see if the fuss being kicked up in the community results in any concessions being made to the base package - at the very least an additional character slot.

I do like what they're doing with the guild halls though - GW1 was very limited ... you bought your hall, bought merchants and you were done. Nothing could be added - the new upgrade system is very similar to what they do in Star Trek Online, where your work and resources added over time help build the hall to something bigger and better. I like that sense of progression.

character slot would be nice but for that we need to dish out R900 plus?

surely it's a joke.

That's the thing. For people who already own the game - we pay $50 for the expansion - and that's what we get. Nothing else.

For new entrants - they pay $50, they get the expansion AND the original game. Win-win.

Essentially - players that have been supporting the game for the past three years (or less, probably) are being screwed over. Give us something to say, y'know: Thanks for sticking with us. Here's a couple of free benefits on top of the price. It'll cost them nothing but a bit of development time (if that) and it'll earn them a ton of goodwill with the community.

I can deal with paying $50. But don't give me less than what a new guy is getting - that's utter bull.

I was expecting $40 and a character slot, so yeah not pre-purchasing until we know exactly what this $50 is buying us.
 
no living story which is but a drop in the bucket of content in relation to the whole first game. which they get for free...
 
this whole situation is blowing up and Arena net is going their usual wait til it blows over route.

only thing is I don't think it is. and by the time they muster up a response it's not gonna help

Just want to clarify since I saw this come up a couple of times in this thread and we haven’t actually released our full official patch notes for 6/23 yet….

Ascended Gear will be staying 5% better than Exotic Gear. Gear beyond the tiers we already have are not going to be added and our existing tiers won’t change, they won’t be our main end-game form of progression for your characters/account for all the reasons we’ve covered before – it isn’t what we think Gw2 is about.

Masteries is being added to PvE to help provide this system as our form of progression for PvE moving forward, and the WvW ability system exists for WvW and will be what we use to expand WvW in the future.

To more directly answer some of your point….We are adding a system that lets you change the stats for your ascended gear (weapons and armor) next Tuesday – which will cost a combination of 10 spirit shards, piece you don’t want anymore, 5 ectos, and an exotic insignia of the stats you want to convert to. Legendary Gear will remain the gear that can freely change stats any time.

-CJ
(Edited to clarify weapons and armor)
