I bet Anet will release the bonus pack on the last day possible that they said they would, which is November 30. It just seems like something they would do.

You're joking, right? Izzy & his Big Machine Krewe haven't finished destroying everything that's in the game already. You want the BMP out now so he has more room to wreck havoc upon?

Yes, ANet will somehow find a way to release it on a day that doesn't exist in order to not release it and keep our money :P

All I care about is that there are NEW cool rare weapon skins. This will be great since you know all the gold farmers didnt purchase through the guild wars store and im sure the actual percentage of players who did is probably low as well.
What that meens..... A temporary resurgence of the market. Which will be great. Oh I hope this happens.
ANET----- NEW Skins PLEASE

OP wasn't speculating. The number of files in the update are inconsistent with the update notes.

hehehe... i wonder what will happen if suddenly they announce "due to unforeseen circumstances, the scheduled bonus mission pack will have to be inevitably scrapped, and we apologize to all Guild Wars customers for this..."

I am actually talking about this, but I guess I am wrong, because while when I ask about the arrival of the BMP, the thread got lock down, and follow that 2 other same thread appear but they were okay so , yah, nevermind.

i think it is kinda to speculate that the 1591 files are the BMP.

People will always speculate, but I would just advise you to go about your normal business for a while yet... they aren't releasing it imminently... they even said not this week. Wait a week, maybe two, then it'll be close.

The update was around 20 megs. The in-game store update, 5 bug fixes, rewards at the Xunlai Tournament House, and some text changes here and there are not 20 megabytes, or we would be sitting on a terrabyte .DAT file. Based on this evidence, I conclude that the update included parts of the BMP, but did not include access to it.
Happy?

strange- I got 31 megs, and I -image after every update. There's no reason not to believe that this update included the BMP- when they actually unveil it is the real question.

My guess is right before Thanksgiving holidays...

But that may be wishful thinking on my part.

Guys, they do this with every release....at least a portion of the game is preloaded, before it's even released. I didn't have to DL that much for NF. They simply put everything on download beforehand. This solves the problem with a release, when many people start downloading at once.

Its only half way thru November guys... its coming, so be patient. I have a feeling it will be worth the wait based on the developer interview describing how it is set up

Of course they are going to make it sound better than it actually turns out to be. Have done so with everything they have released so far.

Well, duh. That's advertising....

hell, is there anything that's as good as ads say it will be?


I hope people don't have over-expectations like they did for GWEN.

Actually all those other threads were shut down because they were duplicates of existing threads (ie, they were closed and told to post in other threads).

I agree with others. Seems likely there are some stealth BMP files in the last update. They have done this before Pumpkin with both NF and Factions, so it seems likely.

Hmmm, this thread is sounding alot like the one my bf tried to post earlier today. To quote someone else in that thread:

"Been here, done this. There is already a thread or 2 dozen about this.
