PMystic.1450 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I really want at least one of the deluxe editions to start my revenant but I've seen both of these get slashed to 50% off. Am I an idiot if I buy PoF deluxe upgrade for 25% off and HoT deluxe for 40% off? I will get both eventually, I'm just not sure about future sales.

witcher.3197 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Do you even need to buy HoT anymore? I thought PoF included HoT since august or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 They’ve been cheaper before. Also consider if you actually need everything from those packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josiah.2967 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 No variety. Worse than previous deals (within months).Hard pass. I hope they have something that isn't listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be able to use the Upgrades offered in the Gem Store until you purchase the Expansions (Standard Edition only; if you purchase Deluxe Edition or Ultimate Edition, those Gem Store Upgrades would be worthless).

Tanith.5264 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The email I received stated that this sale would run from "November 28 to November 2". Apparently, only my chronomancer will be able to take advantage of it.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlgon.9273 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 No rush. You apparently have the deals going on for almost a full year. "From November 28 to November 2, log in every day to pick up a free item from the Gem Store. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Start my Revenant' seemed like you were looking for Heart of Thorns.The 50% off promotions for PoF were last in November of 2018 and May of 2019. The Anniversary Sales offered 30% off for PoF and 50% off for HoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewcifer.5198 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'm going to be passing on the sale. I have seen people complaining about the sale on the subreddit and so I also think people need to let go of the mentality that any company has to do a black friday sale and that it has to be some mega awesome super deal. I will snag me some free items though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Can't complain about freebees, but I can't say I'm excited by the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will stick with my gut and pass till they're both 50% off.In that case, look at the price. Compare that to the individual price of the bonus items (I know you can only get some of them via the upgrade, but compare them to similar other items). Factor in the sale on character slots this Friday, as the character slot is the most solidly useful thing of the bonuses. I can anecdotally tell you that I bought the HoT CE which had those items as well as 4K gems and the character slot is the only thing of lasting use there. I have one alt that clings to his ominous green glider, one spot in my guild hall that has a vine wall decoration I provided, I don't bother with character minis, I don't PvP so the finisher is moot ... that's all subjective value to me, so figure out for yourself if you'd rather just get a character slot on sale on Friday and forego the other items, or if that mini and finisher and glider are must haves and worth the price.

MokahTGS.7850 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The only thing in there that is worth any money is the Character Slot. I would just buy the gems for a character slot and forget the useless filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'm not tempted by any of the things listed in the Black Friday announcement (I have both deluxe editions, really don't need more character slots and I don't do world bosses enough for the portal) but it seems those aren't the only offers going on right now and I am tempted by the Shiverpeaks mount pack which is back in the gem store.Although it does make me wonder what other unannounced discounts/returning items there might be.
