Same thing I wanted to do. I'm not bummed that I got GW:EN (okay maybe a little) or the BMP, I'm not bummed because I will no longer "feel leet" because everyone will now be able to get the weapons, I'm bummed because I don't have the box - and if I would've waited I would've been able to get it all.

The thing most people were ticked about was how GW:EN cost 10 bucks more in the store than any other dealership. So yes I do felt like I not only sacrificed my box but I also payed 10 bucks for the BMP.

CE upgrade would be cool for all three campaigns. i would also like the purchase of a storage upgrade, no, not on your storage space in your chest but more bag space on your actual holding items allowed. Id like to see mini pets available there. Special dyes like a glowing dye that makes your armor glow, flaming dye that makes your armor look like its on fire, icy dye, earth dye, windy dye .... lol a very stupid idea i know -_-, but i wanted to go crazy...

But most importatnly id like:

I would definitely like a new BMP!

I found the BMP sooo fun and i think there are other storylines that need to be tied up before GW 2 comes up. And since the first BMP is already on the in game store in a little, the second could also be bought that way. It would be a great way to break the wait for GW 2 and give people something to do.

I totally agree with you, all the following rest is NOT meant to you icey, just general meant, so don't please see this quote as personal posting torwards you


Those who got it by the promotion got it either for around like 20 bucks through buying for example 3 character slots...
Even those, who already have bought enough of the OS, before the promotion startet... those people got the BMP for FREE.

And those people which had to buy first some stuff to get the BMP unlocked, k they payed the double money, like people will have to, to receive now the BMP.

But therefore all those people which got it for promotion had the advantage of having it several MONTHS's long first !!!
Getting the BMP Weapons first and those ones, which tell, they had no personal advantage of this... LIE...

All people with the BMP of the promotion could sell the History Books to other people for some platin to others which have not the BMP...before the history gets authorized (thus getting customized to the player)... so all people which had the BMP first have had an ingame financial ADVANTAGE for some months over all others !!!
All what those whinere and selfish people fear for only now is the fact... that they will lose this financial advantage, when the BMP becomes COMMON.. also meaning that the BMP weapons history books will become worthless, because nobody will buy them then anymore !!!

Dou you selfish people really believe, we the ones that don#t own the BMP yet are so dumb and blind to see this reality not ?
Do you really think, that no one sees of us in towns like Lion's Arc ect. all the Commerce Chat Spams of people, which want to buy unauthorized History Books, so that they can customize them to their characters to be able to trade them for the BMP Items ????

When you really believe this, then you must be as one of those people really totally naive >.>

LMAO! Like people told you in the other bloody thread:

EVERY - SINGLE - ITEM - TO - DO - WITH - THE - BONUS - MISSION - PACK - IS - CUSTOMIZED - TO - YOUR - CHARACTER. There are NO people wanting to buy history books, as it can't be done. There are no people trading the blue, gold or white weapons because it can't be done. There are no people OFFERING any of the BMP items as it CANNOT - BE - DONE.

Next time before you start making out people as liars and selfish idiots, check your facts so you don't come across as one yourself. Thanks.

Quote:
* To access the Bonus Mission Pack missions, speak to Durmand [Historian] in any of the major port cities: Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, or Kamadan.
* For each mission, you will receive a book that tells the story leading up to the mission, along with any weapons your character will use during that mission.
* To launch the mission, equip any provided weapons and click the “enter mission” button found inside the story book.
* The Bonus Mission Pack missions are all single player adventures where you play as the characters from each story book. You will become that character for the duration of the mission and your normal skill bar will be replaced with that character's set of skills.
* Upon completing a Bonus Mission Pack mission, you will be returned to the port city you were in previously or to your character's home port city. Your story book will have three new pages added at this point, summarizing the events that occurred during the mission as well as the effect those events had on the Guild Wars world.
* You can take completed books back to Durmand to have the stories authorized (What means, before talking to the NPC to authorize your full books, they are unauthorisized and thus being uncustomized and can be sold to other players, which need then just to authorize them at the Authorize-NPC so that they can trade them at the Weapon NPC's for BMP Weapons without having even the BMP) You can then trade in authorized stories to one of the four story scribes (located next to Durmand in each port city) for a customized weapon (SO HERE IS THE POINT THAt TELLS ALL..THE WEAPONS ARE CUSTOMIZED..NO SINGLE WORD ON THE BOOKS, WHICH NEED FIRST TO GET CUSTOMIZED, BEFORE YOU BECOME ABLE TO TRADE THEM) from the historic period you witnessed during the mission. However, you will no longer be able to keep the book in your Xunlai storage once it has been authorized(customized).
* Completing each mission also unlocks “Discovery Mode” for that mission, adding three hidden, bonus goals for you to discover. For each bonus goal you complete, Durmand will give any one character on your account an additional authorized story. The additional stories can only be earned once for each account.(This here are the only real BMP items..which are from the start on authorized*customized* beneath the BMP items..because these here you receive automatically authorized, you have not to talk to a NPC first, to get them authorized *customized, like talking to a Weapon Seller NPC to get your weapon customized for 10g)
Quoted from wiki, important senteces are bolded *includign comments in ()*


I speak about the Books...not the Weapons you receive after the trades with the books...
Only when these books are "authorized", then they can't be trade anymore, not be put into the Xunlai Chests, as they become totally customized to your character...
But as long they aren't authorisized, thus beign not customized, because authorization to a book, is nothing else, then customization, they are tradeable ...

I'm not blind...I've seen for several time now, sicne the BMP exists, people in the main towns standign around either spamming WTS/ or WTB "History Books" [insert here now the special name for each own bonus mission]

I really don't believe, that this is now a real big missunderstandment of me, especially when I really often people spamming these things into trade chat channel...this lets people automatically think, that there is more, than only having the BMP first.


If this is really now only a missunderstandment by me, then I apologize and will automatically delete both my last postings here

I'm fairly certain the books are customized before authorization as well. I had thought all the spammers trying to sell the books were a scam. I'll have to log in tonight to check the unauthorized books I've been carrying around.

On topic: I'd like to see an option to buy the GWEN box w/ everything included, minus an access key. Yes, even the advertisements.

A festival pack which contains all the hats from all the previous events and automatically puts them into the hat holder NPC. I know ive missed a few hats and I wouldnt mind having them (£2.99).

A special festival hero pack which contains special heroes like a snowman, easter bunny, the mad king etc etc etc which can only use special festival skills but you can choose which ones (£10.99).

A rare skin weapon pack which is the same as the bonus weapon pack, but gives you rare skinned weapons, but they are customised to you and CANT be traded (£10.99).

The bonus mission pack as a stand alone add on (£5.99)!

A hair style pack which would work like a hat, but change your hair style and colour depending on what your choose (£2.99)!

A Hero elite armor pack which basically unlocks all elite armor for all your heroes in pve!

A Hero pack which unlocks all heroes for the campaigns and expansion you own in pve (if you later bought GWEN it would automatically unlock them all for you, but you have to buy GWEN first).

A Wintersday and hallowean goodies pack which gives you 50x of each xmas and hallowean item when used, BUT which can only be used inside an outpost, and DONT count towards the sweet tooth title.

A polymock creature pack which lets you buy them all or certain colours depending on the pack colour (£2.99)!

I want to be able to purchase mini pets from in store, and being able to buy the divine aurora would make me even happier!

I forgot to mention we SERIOUSLY need to be able to have more Xunlai Chests storage. it's ridiculous how there are so many different items in the game, and so limited with storage space! It's currently EXTREMELY inconvenient to have to place items in other characters back packs. I'de be very happy if we could purchase more inventory slots in the Xunlai Chests through the online store.

Also as people have said, a way to change the name and/or appearance of a character would be really nice.

So heres a thread posted by gaile in 2006. She asked us what we want in the ingame store, but over a year later there still isnt anything new in there?

Why why why why does this thread exist and for what purpose? So gaile can get all her adoring fans on their knees begging her for stuff in the store? Thats the only thing I see this thread fulfilling.

After getting enough character slots, all I'd pay for is more areas/missions, i.e more expansions, be it a full chapter, a BMP type addition, or something like another realm.

Seventy percent of you are down right negative with all your postings, it's quiet disgusting and needs to stop.

Why?

Because you make the rest of us (with out caring mind you) look like we are much the same! All this talk about "on their knees", "swindling" and much more is disgusting and shows a great deal about each of you.

If you don't like aspects of this game, go play another one and leave those who do! This is a thread with suggestions, not a thread about ranting!

Unlike the BMP offer, the collector boxes quite clearly describe their features as "Exclusive". So to put it simply, ANet *CANNOT* put those features in their store.

If you guys really want the CE for Prophecies (Factions & Nightfall are still available), then by all means campaign for a fresh run of CE's to be published. ANet might listen, if enough of you ask nicely (assuming you don't just want to pay $10, that is).

Regarding what I'd buy:

New storage tab - I'd even pay the same fee as another character slot, just because it would be more accessible than a mule.

I'd also happily pay a few $ for packs of mini-pets. Ideally they'd be pre-customized, but infinitely spawnable, like weapon packs.

1. CE upgrades (including DA, dances, miniatures, etc.)
2. Pre-order weapon pack (all Proph, Factions, NF, and GWEN pre-order weapons from all territories)
3. Dwayna, Lyssa, Melandru Realm of the Gods (like FoW and UW and accessible via the same methods)
4. Packs of random polymock pieces/hero armor upgrades etc. which are not quest rewards (and the actual received ones are at random)
5. De-customization tool (for un-customizing a customized weapon), which is customized itself to the person purchasing it (because let's face it, we've all oops-customized something)
6. Something to let you change your character's name and or appearance, one time only per purchase
7. Account merging (because not all of us bought multiple accounts for the sake of having multiple accounts. This should have been made possible with character slot purchasing.)
8. The ability to take Henchmen from a campaign you own to other campaigns, as henchmen, with the same skill set (hmm GWEN Zho > Proph Aidan any day)

I'll keep thinking.

I'd ask for Charr plushies, but you really can't offer them online. Which is a shame, because they're so cute. But that's ok, I'd go for anything that has Charr in it.

No, I didn't forget a thing Motoko.

You and your seventy percentile of people are the ones who are forgetting the topic you are discussing ANet in.

Mind you, ANet isn't asking you for the seventy percent negative comments in a topic labled "We Want To Know" but rather a topic Gaile Gray of (not the main honcho, or the one who owns, or anything involving bowing) ANet started, titled "What would you like to see in the Ingame Store?" a little over a year and a half ago.

Don't attempt to flame me. Stick to this topic please for the sake of this community if you remotely care. If you don't, then I kindly suggest this: leave for the sake of yourself.

Can't happen. The CE Upgrades where for those who purchased the Exclusive Editions of Guildwars...

2. Pre-order weapon pack (all Proph, Factions, NF, and GWEN pre-order weapons from all territories)

I think this is the same as above, unsure however

3. Dwayna, Lyssa, Melandru Realm of the Gods (like FoW and UW and accessible via the same methods)

We've been wanting this for many Moons! This one I praise, but it will be unlikely for Guildwars, perhaps Guildwars 2

4. Packs of random polymock pieces/hero armor upgrades etc. which are not quest rewards (and the actual received ones are at random)

This one would be much fun if these are new pieces and armors. No one really gains anything out of it that changes the shift of the game, so it'll work perfectly

5. De-customization tool (for un-customizing a customized weapon), which is customized itself to the person purchasing it (because let's face it, we've all oops-customized something)

Can't say I have...this could change the effect of the game a bit with the old customized items some players have that would be worth a bunch.

6. Something to let you change your character's name and or appearance, one time only per purchase

Gaile has mentioned that anything appearance *may* be seen in Guildwars 2 because our current 'Wars can not handle it.

7. Account merging (because not all of us bought multiple accounts for the sake of having multiple accounts. This should have been made possible with character slot purchasing.)

You want to buy this ability? This should be one offered for free, not of purchase. Fair idea reguardless

8. The ability to take Henchmen from a campaign you own to other campaigns, as henchmen, with the same skill set (hmm GWEN Zho > Proph Aidan any day)

Same as above. This should be allowed with certain quests completed for a better in-game way rather then the "I threw 5.00 at it, so I can do it!" which would occur...

I'll keep thinking.
I agree with a fair amount of it in all honesty. A lot of your ideas are a lot of basic ideas which have been thrown around since the start of this topic some time ago.

The only reason #1 could (not necessarily will) happen is that people were led to believe the BMP was exclusive. And while they didn't say they wouldn't offer it again, they never came out and said they would either (although it wasnt hard to figure they would). And let's face it, if they can do this they can do anything because the switcheroo says it's about the money. But only Anet can decide whether they ever will or not. I've got #1, and part of #2, and they aren't doing me any good because of #7.

That said, I think you're right on my last 2 ideas. I just thought if we would throw money at them theyd actually do it seeing how they don't seem to want to otherwise. Because if they did that, #1 and possibly even #2 might become a moot point for a lot of folks. Gaile did say (Id have to dig around Wiki to find it) they were (at one time) considering #2, but then later on said not likely.

The biggest overall reason though is that for some people, GW1 is all they will get. GW2, while being made to run on as many PCs as possible, probably will not run on the dinosaur PCs some people have. It barely runs on mine, if only because the limitations of mine are just above the minimum. But it runs great, and I cant complain. Don't think we should be forgotten. We need new content too, or more ways to make existing content fun. My ideas collectively are a good way to start on that.

I see no reason why Prophecies CE / Divine Aura cannot be sold in the in-game store or even made available again in a boxset. Why not include CE in the Platinum Edition they are selling?
They sold the Million-edition and all you basically got were additional /bonus weapons.

What about people that were not around at the time of Prophecies CE, that now wants to buy it?
It's the same logic that is being applied to ppl that started playing GW in the last 2 months, they can now buy the BMP

Same difference imo
