Would you buy other BMP's if they made them?

Having finally got my hands on the BMP, I have to say im fairly impressed by them. They even appear to have some graphical improvements too, although I cant put my finger on how or where, but it just looks nicer.

And that (correction) defeat scene on the bridge is just awsome!!! GWs meets the Matrix... Kudos there Anet!

My only disapointment with the BMP was its length. I've pretty much finished all the missions within a few hours and got most of the weapons (which are also very nice).

Now provided they marketted it correctly and just sold it as a stand alone item, would you buy a second, third or even a fourth BMP is they released them?

Maybe tell more back-stories about GWs past, since there is a lot of past events we still don't know a lot about...

The creation of the original gods of tyria and how they were once human (if they were),
The origins of the Mersaat,
The origins of the Seers,
The origins of Glint,
The ancients what happened to them in the crystal desert,
How Vizier Khilbron became the Lich King and the destruction of Orr!

...there is a lot which could be looked into! Maybe even make them 4 man or 8 man missions too, so you can take friends along.

I'd likely buy them if they made the stories and missions a bit longer. Had fun with the bmp I got just yesterday.

I would buy any sequel to this one, because A it is awesome and B it adds new content and possibly a few of the best looking weapons available all for 10 bucks, thats a bargain!

I don't know about buying a BMP, the only reason I got it before was I ordered EoTN through the store. If they were to work on another small update I would much rather pay $10 for something more like Sorrow's Furnace. I like doing things with a group and with my own character, the BMP's are nice for about an hour till it gets old. I would probably still buy them anyway though.

Most definatly. I just got it last night and only had a chance to complete the one for Gwen. It's really a great add on. If they do not offer a free expansion like SF or additional bonus mission packages before GW2 comes out I would fear they will lose a lot of the player base. It only makes sense from a buisness standpoint to continue to do something or there will be little to no players a year or more from now who would be potential GW2 customers. Just my two cents.

Definitely. But this time, they should just out right sell it in the store, to avoid this whole "promotion" fiasco.

Definitely. Especially if they expand further on the lore and continue to be as innovative as this one was. I loved the BMP and the missions are still fun every now and then when you just feel like some quick gaming.

I'm too completist not to. I don't really do much with the BMP (had it since the first time round), but I like knowing it's there, and that I can pick weapons up from it when I need to. For the first few hours it was amazing, and I would definitely love to see expansions on other areas of the lore.

I really enjoyed the BMP from the POV of the games lore, so if they stick to that as the basis of all of them; yeah I'd certainly buy them.

I'd buy it in a heart beat if this BMP and a new one were in stores. I can't use the online store, nor any other sort of online retail. :/

Perhaps if they made a few more BMPs, then released them as a set for $40 available on retail shelves. I wouldn't mind waiting AND paying full price if I were given the opportunity to buy them at a real store.

hell no. $10 for a scant amount of content that is totally static is a joke. It was a rip off for me and I got it free with the online purchase the first time around. When something free is a rip off, you know it's a joke. Plus the fiasco about how the whole thing was handled totally turned me off.

Only if I get something "worth" getting out of it. New weapon skins = no.

Meh.. I dunno..

The weapons are really awesome, and the missions were cool. But they would have to make them co-op, & add something like Armor sets if I am going to have to pay $$. If it's the same as the current one? only if it's $5. $10 is too much for this little content.

I got mine with GWEN so it was worth it. If they had New Armor sets, probably..

I wouldn't buy this one so I wouldn't buy any others if they're as overpriced.

Either make one big content package that's worth its price or do nothing.

I'd love to see a complete Expansion Pack 2, for example half the size of GW:EN for half the price, or same size same price, but selling "Bonus" packs with less than 1/10 of content but for 1/4 the price is a slap in the face.

I have to agree. It's true this was originally free with online purchase of $30, but if this sets a precedent of $10 tiny content pack..
I'm still paying less if bought 1 CE GW chapter & 2 BMPS a year than 1 WoW subscription so I guess it's not horrible...

I don't see how it would be worth it if the only rewards offered in the second BMP are more premium quality skins, even though that is already the only reward for the first BMP.

Second BMP would only be worth it IMO if they offered a different kind of reward that is on par with or better than premium weapon skins. Not more skins.

Where are the "GOTY Weapon Pack is too expensive" threads?

Seriously, $10 for 4 repeatable missions, with new weapon skins (not to mention 30k of gold), is a decent price.

Yes, it was handled horribly. It should have been a "Spend $30, get it free, or buy it for $10" from the beginning.

But as for the content itself, I can't complain.

If the content was of the same quality or prehaps something close to it and it filed in some of the lore? absolutely! The first one was so well done i can do nothing but tip my hat to GW. In fact i think this would be a great idea. 10 bucks a back and release them ever 2-3 months (or less woot) and it would awesome.

Probably not. "What happened to Gwen" was the main attraction to this one for me. I'm not really big on GW lore, but I thought that might be interesting, and since it was "free" and apparently limited (at the time), I went ahead and did it. But somehow I'm reminded of the old adage about "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice..."

QFT. They would have probably made out much better that way in the first place.
