What does everyone think of the content? Not the value for money, the availability or Anet's policies, but what do you actually think about the missions? The area's? The way they play? The rewards?

I hope its pretty decent, I am looking forward to getting away from work and picking it up when I get home. Something more to do in-game I guess

Wonderful, Challenging, beautiful. Love the weapons.

The missions are fun and very different from normal missions.
Especially Gwens mission actually gives a bit of background to her character.
The missions are also very short and easy; you can easily play through them all in a day.

It's worth 2 GoTY Weapon Packs, so yeah....

Its not really challenging, but the elona mission gave me 7.5k in 15 minutes! Too bad its not farmable, but i got three extra books for undead weapons...other ones give out some stuff, but not easy like the elona one.... Saul's mission is very lengthy though, was the first i did and finished, but i haven't done it again...

I loved the Turai Ossa mission
I'm happy I got the BMP for free as a reward for buying GW:EN from the ingame store
Yep, quite happy thank you

Pure ownage, and exactly what I was itching to do to Palawa the whole time I had to work with/for him in the Desolation.

Bought GW:EN because I wanted it. Got BMP for FREE! No complaints. I'd say it's worth about $10, maybe a little more.

Honestly 
i love it, seems that with a verified paypal account and some money on the bank you can buy it in 5 minutes, so im glad im happy.
I find the missions a bit challeging but they are SOOO COOL, envoirement is awesome, Its something worth the long wait, and yes im glad i bought it.

Just bought it about an hour ago. I've done Gwen's and Turai's story and was very pleased. I'm about to do the Saul and Togo stories which I know I won't be disappointed with.
On top of that I got a tenth character slot and a pvp unlock kit so I can finally use an actual PvP character >.<

I personally loved it. I got it through the promotion, and although I wish I had known they were going to make it available.. I would have only bought one for my main account and the other one and GWEN @ retail store. But it's all good.
I am glad they have made this available to everybody for a very reasonable price.

i love the BMP missions , fun and exciteing , also love the weapons skins

How long does each mission take? Just wondering since the site says "about the length of a normal mission."
15 minutes? 30 minutes?

I also got it free with GW:EN, but imho it's well worth $10.00.
The missions were fun and challenging without being frustrating, the stories really help fill in some gaps in GW past lore, and the bonus items are VERY nice! I think the only skins I personally don't like are the mursaat, but there's only so much you can do with magical floating rocks

Got boring really fast for me; did 3 missions outta the 4, got the weapons I wanted, that was it... playing as Saul D'Alessio was fun though x].
Numa Pompilius
They can probably be done in 15 minutes if you rush and know what you're doing, but first time through I guess each took me about 45 minutes.
Angelica
I got the BMP when I bought GW - EotN and I have only done two missions; Gwen and Saul, tried the other two but I could not finish them ...... yep I'm a noob. :P
When I'll be very bored I'll try them two again, just because I love the weapons you can get when completed.

I'm a huge Gwen fan so I love playing a JB Gwen in rags. Plus I love the Charr Weapons (and the Undead weapons).

I think I would have liked them more if we could play with others. Over all, I was very disappointed with the bmp.
holababe
Did Turai Ossa a couple of times for the weapons. (very nice)
Died at the very end of Gwen's mission, couldn't be bothered retrying
Saul's is a little long, due to the fight at the end
Togo's is awesome

Will the BMP be available in stores in Europe (especially Germany)?
They german site states that the "Bonus Pack is in stores now" but I can't find it anywhere
Some accurate information would be really nice here.

Really great content, definitely worth the price, although I've only done two of the missions. I was expecting them to be really easy, similar to the GW:EN missions, so I was caught a little off guard towards the end of the Saul mission. I really loved the back story to the white mantle, I always found them rather boring when playing through Prophecies, but maybe next time I'll be able to appreciate them a little more.
The style used in the Togo mission is just brilliant and the Tengu weapons look really great. I was expecting the sword to be really small, similar to the Forgotten Sword but I was pleasently surprised.
I really hope they release more of these packs, great stuff.

Plus, you get 500g after completing a mission, and you get that every time. So, you can repeat a mission for some gol. 15 minutes for 500g, meh, it's more of a small reward for doing something you wanted to do anyway for the weapons than a real incentive, but if you hate farming but don't mind repeating these missions over and over...I guess go for it?

They are kinda short, but I love the weps!
I love the Kill Bill thing in Togo's story!

It's kind of fun but I've only played it once and only done two of the four missions (one not even attempted). lol But I may do them again for the weapons.
pumpkin pie
too short, too easy, beautiful story book thing, especially like the talking part! This is Saul's story... (bla bla something like that), good looking weapons, some story is a little bit hard to believe. for instant Gwen, who just barely escape being bomb to death by the devour, manage somehow to learn mesmer skills from books she read in the dungeon while escaping unfriendly fire, she should actually have become a paragon, seeing how well she can throw stones at weaken building structure to make them tumble.
Lady Raenef
Glad I got this for free during the event, however, I love Togo's mission the best. The fact that it was Kill Bill styled made me chuckle and I just recieved the most feedback personally towards it. I didn't like Saul's so much, but I felt like the message of the story was most powerful. The last few lines of his story in the book makes me tremble. Gwen's was okay, but I think Turai, the end....that's really the first act of violence you see. STAB.
Redvex
I love Togo mission. The ambient is lovely as shinj jea isle. In addition Dragon Empire Rage is the powerful skill that i ever seen
Next mission pack?
Vizu story?

The togo story is great, it's the first one I did and it really does feel epic. I love the taking one loads of guards with just one man, and the quality of the cutscenes. The only bad thing is there is no talking, it would be nice if they'd done voice-overs for all of them.
I've done all the discoveries except Sauls (can't manage that).
In order of my favourites
Togo (Mildly challenging, looks wonderful, great lore)
Turai (the cutscenes and armies are awesome!)
Saul (very hard, but great fun. A bit of NUKE NUKE NUKE though)
Gwen (this one felt short and a bit strange. The plot is kinda odd, and everything is very convenient)

well I love the bmp. been enjoying it ever since I got for free with the promotion. All the missions are wonderfully put together and are very fun to play. Not to mention you get a lot of free money for making discoveries and some really beautiful weapons. If I hadn't gotten it with the promotion I definetly would've gotten it now, it's easily worth the $10.
<-*POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD*->
my personal favorites of the bmp
1.) Gwen's Story: It's entirely different from every other mission in GW, more like a "stealth" and "puzzle" mission almost. I like the change of hiding from the enemy instead of just bashing your way through them.
2) Togo's Story: If you can't enjoy the scenery, sounds, kill bill style, or dragon empire rage then I'm sorry but there's something wrong with you. This one was just pure joy to play, and call to the spirit realm/dragon empire rage is every ritualist's fantasy come true.
3) Turi's Story: Giant's Stomp ftw! Really though this one was just a fun time and every wammo's wet dream. Was really rewarding to finally smack Palawa around too.
4) Saul's Story: My least favorite of the BMP, but still a joy to play through. The big selling point of this one I think is that you get to live out the fantasy you've had ever since you first ran into the Mursaat in Prophecies, Spectral Agony on your very own skillbar!

I'm glad I paid $10 for it. It didn't take me more than 2 hours to beat all of the missions, but they were really fun. I especially like the cutscene at the end of the Turai Ossa mission and the Boss information in the Togo mission. Also regarding the Togo mission, the spoilers in the thread above me pretty much explain it. The Gwen mission was kind of creepy, and had a surreal feel to it. The Gwen missions also put some skills into use that are normally useless (Shared Burden variant). The Saul quest was character involved - and that's a good thing.
--SPOILERS--
I almost think they may have been testing our reaction to certain portions of the BMP. For instance - stealth/puzzle missions. In the case that they were - chalk me up to one of the people that received it well. On a side note - I want more action sequences like Turai Ossa killing Polowa Joko 300 style. That was pure awesome in its most refined form.
Thank you ArenaNet for making this available to everyone.

T.T.H.
They are solo mission. I don't see any use for solo missions in a so called "cooperative online role playing game". If I would have known beforehand that they are solo mission I would not have bought those three character slots during the promotion period.
Yeah, they might be nicely done, but so far I have played only through two of the four missions, despite that I have access to them for several weeks. Actually I have to "force" myself to play them because whenever I do I always think "I want to play together with my girlfriend, just as I did the last three years".
The weapons are nice. They are the biggest reason why I actually force myself to play the missions.
To be honest I had been really disappointed by the BMP.
