seriously. i don't care if people call me a noob, or whatever.

i love the bonus pack.

the missions add alot of insight into the stories behind these characters, the weapons you get are (in my opinion) amazing, and unlike tormented or destroyer weapons, you don't have to do alot of grinding. That, and they're customized, so no selling issues!

a-net actually made this section of the game right.

feel free to post your opinions on this matter, i just wanted to say this.

Well thought out, fantastically produced, and I nearly wet myself when I saw that Mursaat weapons were available.

Anyone get flamed in-game for trying to sell a Mursaat weapon? I mean a REAL one from Prophecies? Try it sometime.... ppl will start saying, "Don't do it, they're customized!" "He's a scammer!" LMFAO Seriously, the BMP rocks and the weapons really compliment some armors out there.

...if only that were true. If people aren't bashing some part of the BMP they're bashing anet for not allowing total access to it, or some equally silly thing. (people with legit reasons for not being able to buy from the store are obviously not grouped with that)

I love the weapons and I love the missions. Too bad they are so short and items aren't account customized. [Getting two bows of each I find cool for my ranger and my A/R, ugh.]

Same here, I'm glad it wasn't.

BMP is a wonderful set of missions, all the guildies and myself really love it!

Plus, being Togo is so badass.

Saul's mission needs to become more...fun? In a way. And, also do a little more character modeling, as he looked nothing like the concept art.

Togo's mission was FTW though! I loved it every second through. The humor, the fighting, the awesome ninjas. Yeah, it plainly just rocked.

The Missions are pretty cool. The Gwen mission was fairly well thought out. Had fun with that one.

IMHO, The weapons - not so hot. The Mursaat weapons are all hideous, I don't care for the look of any of the staves. I do like most of the Tengu ones, and the Charr maul is awesome.

I bought 2 for both my accounts, and I am glad I did it! The purchase from the online store actually is cheaper than buying from my local store and faster and on time.

Thank you Arena Net for striving to make the game better everyday!

Would have been more fun if there was a co-op option.
Two people group equip specific weapons depending on who they wish to play and both of them can play it together.
It's not bad at all, just would have felt more fitting for GW's corpg style if it had a co-op option.

I love the BMP x1000! The only thing I can complain about is that I wish the characters themselves spoke during the cutscenes instead of just the narrator. Would be cool to hear Turai say some dooming message and Palawa retort with a classic bad guy revenge thing before doing his thing. Otherwise, freakin awesome missions and weapon skins!

If you spent the right amount of money within the time frame for the promotion, then you automatically have it. Go to Lion's Arch, Kaineg or Kamadan, and talk to the Historian.

IF they have nothing for you, and you think it's a mistake, contact support.

you don't *get* a key or anything like it.

Agreed 100% correct - but i will prefere Palawa saying "omgbbqhax" and Turai saying "OWNED NOOB"
or something along the lines of that,gogo giddiness!

Is it me, or does Anet go back and forth between Great and Decent:

Prophesies: Great
Factions: Decent
Night Fall: Great again
EotN: Decent
BMP: Freakin' awesome.

hmm...very true...

still i love making misleading (not-innuendo-y) titles, that are kinda ironic.

i agree with the guy who said they should use actual voices (though, it was just you telling a story, it already happened so we dont know what they said exactly.)

it wasnt till i saw the wiki page on it that i realized the final palawa stab/ fall was too cool for anet to make, and found it was a 300 reference.

Togo was kill bill reference.

gwen= the one im going to do just for weps. it's the easiest.

Woo-Hoo! Let's Give One To Anet for how awesome it was *Borat voice* NOT!

-BMP gives users acess to exclusive, new skins with more detail and effort put in then any of the other skins in any other campaign... Why did Arena Net save the BEST skins in all of guild wars for this small "bonus"?

-BMP has improved animations with better graphics and voice acting - why do all the animations in the other games suck when they can clearly produce better....?

-BMP wasn't available to everyone - many people had problems with the online store, and weren't able to purchase it, or people were getting multiple charges for an item

I don't understand why Anet put more effort into the BMP then any of the campaigns.... considering that the BMP was meant to be a "bonus" not a "game"...... Just shows you have Arena Net half-assed their games... /sigh

Well, to be fair, if you're including the BMP, you'd have to include Sorrow's Furnace. So, it would look more like this in terms of overall quality and gameplay:

Prophecies: Great
Sorrow's Furnace: Awesome
Factions: Decent
Nightfall: Great
EotN: Decent
BMP: Awesome

I would conclude that while Anet does pretty nice on the paid releases, their best stuff is actually the free stuff. Hmm... Also, the quality of the art, IMO, looks something like this:

Prophecies: Solid, decent
Sorrow's Furnace: Meh, more of the same
Factions: Freakin amazing!
Nightfall: Meh
EotN: Decent
BMP: Freakin amazing!

Of course, this is all my opinion, but I think many would probably agree.

I think the Mission packs are great. What I don't think is great that not everyone has access to them. You didn't have to buy TBC with 5 different types of coins to have access to Zul Aman,

Who hear is saying the BMP is better than factions?
The BMP may have nice weapon skins but out of the campaigns in my opinion Factions has the best weapon/armor skins!
That's all I'm saying.

It is relatively better than Factions, IMO. Obviously you can't compare them on a level ground since the BMP is not a campaign. So, relatively, if you could compact Factions into 4 missions and take the best weapon skins, the BMP would be better. Factions does have some pretty kick-ass weapons and armor, I'll give you that.
