BMP release date confirmed!

...$3?
BMP is a free extra... the only way ArenaNet would get any extra money is if you could find the stuff you were buying (such as EotN) cheaper somewhere else... which is quite possible, but the difference would be minor.
I would agree that buying EotN *just* for the BMP would be a waste of time, though.
Regarding skills, I am expecting something like the Costume Brawl...

Umm, whoopty doo. I don't have high hopes for it, learned my lesson from GW:EN. If, however, it does come out great, then I guess it will be SUPER GREAT to me.
Do what I do, keep the lowest expectations. I expect it to have us playing Turai Ossa, who will be a W/Mo with Mending and Healing Hands, and Gwen will have backfire on her skill bar, with chaos storm and AIr of Disenchantment... impress me ANET.

Hey, the Dev Team must be doing NaNoWriMo! They want to get their novels finished before releasing it!

You keep surprising me A-net! I really thought you would release it Nov. 30 on 11:59 pm, but instead we get it a whole day earlier! Weeehooo.
But seriously, couldn't be bothered if it'd come now or in December really. I'll get it anyway and I've got plenty of other things to do.
Just realised Nov. 29 is only a week! That's not too long to wait I suppose

'twould be nice if it was released early on the 29th so people get time to play it on the Thursday. The last thing I want is to lose all the people I would otherwise be playing a multiplayer game with since they're all off doing solo things in the BMP over the weekend.
If it is released on the Friday I'll just have to wait 'til there's no-one else about I can't say I'm not looking forward to it tho. I do like a lot of the novelty quests/missions in GW (polymock being an exception) so I expect this one will be a lot of fun for a day or 2. I know I'll at least get my money's worth, so I can't be disappointed

It will be fun. Looking forward to it and what it might unlock for my mains, if anything. Even with no unlocks, nice to see the stories play out.

They are Missions, so what, about an hour each? 4 hours is what I expect, maybe a little less, maybe a little more.

tbh they need the time to translate into Bork! Bork!
Other than that, it is 4 missions so I don't see how it could take that long unless something went wrong (Murphy's Law, you know).

The most disappointing concept of the BMP for me was the inability to join with your friends in playing it. If we are posing as each of these 4 great personalities in gw history being forced to use their bars but then unable to run around with friends wtb solo gw even more =[
But hopefully it will indeed provide more entertainment than the most recent release which unfort as many others have stated didnt provide nearly as much entertainment for the buck as the other gw purchases.
*ASIDE surely to be flamed* And in essence BMP was not free. If you buy EOTN at the store, you pay the same price as you do online. Which means the money spent on the box/inserts/disk etc are now put into the pockets of anet, so basically the cost of the BMP is what those items cost each. =] *end aside*

Honestly, they probably haven't even started the Bonus Mission Pack yet; the lack of a release hour is because they don't know exactly how many hours it will take to toss together on the 29th.

Besides, there are screenshots around showing that it has started development, and at this point im guessing its pretty much complete and either going through final touches or being tested

Lmao Novemember 29th... Anet sure is a lazy bunch..
I gotta admit, they've done a great job at lowering my expectations of their work ethic every time they release something.

Don't you really understand why it'll be out on the 29th?
So that on the 30th Anet can release the patched build which will actually make the BMP playable, and fix the new bugs to the old chapters introduced with the pack xD xD
I'm laughing but crying.

I'll still be mildly surprised if it's out by the 29th November.

actually I was really firm on not getting gwen but finally bought because some guildies had and were playing but I got for 29.99 at futureshop today on sale (canada). I don't get BMP but I am not crazy about that and have a hardcopy of game + disc as well. I did preview too but that was enough to put my off for a while from buying it. so they barely made Nov promised date so give some reviews if these 4 missions or whatever are worth anything.

i dont see why it takes so long to release it, it should have been released november 1st, it has been adverdised in the gw store since june, its not like its a whole game...shouldnt take that long imo

I'm wondering why everyone is getting so uppity about it being late in the month. It's not like there's a time limit to play the missions before it closes again...most of you H+H it anyway so getting in early so you have plenty of parties to choose from is a poor excuse...
Why such a strong opinion about something you didn't even really pay for being "later than expected" but on-time according to announcements?

Maybe we'll be surprised and these missions will actually... truly.... really.... be impressive (at least to the majority of us since there are always cry babies). Maybe...
Either way, it's coming out some time. Unless some of us are dying between now and December, I don't see what the hurry is.
And if you ARE dying between now and December, you should be enjoying some of the better things in life.

Am I the only one who is willing to say...
I can't wait until it comes out, because I can care less about the date?! I'll only be happy if I'm homework free, and ready to kick some butt!
I saw a guy with double swords on his back in an image. That better be a younger Anton, or Imma cry.

- The stores markup
- Distribution costs
- NCSoft/ANET's part of the money.
If you buy online you remove the store markup and reduce the distribution costs. So even if the price at the online store was a bit cheaper than physical stores, ANET/NCSoft still get more money.

Seriously guyz, when i read this thread it's like gods bowing over some mortals that don't work hard enough to get their blessing ... get real ... there is already tons of content you haven't finished (if spent some time in real life).
And honestly whats the big deal with this BMP anyway ?!?!?!
29th, 30th november or december ... whats the diff?
When they said November did you expect the 1st?
It's still November so they doing fine on their deadlines!
Peace out,

When you buy the game from a retailer, you pay for the shipping costs, stores' markup, Areanet's employees, Packaging costs, and probably a few others I'm missing. Buying it from the in-game store eliminates at least shipping cost, store markup, and packaging. This means Areanet gets more money for less work.
