When will end of dragons expansion for guild wars 2 pre purchase come out

[Danikat.8537]

Probably not before the big announcement on the 27th July.

 

It would be pretty unreasonable to expect anyone to buy it before then because we know almost nothing about it. We know it's set in Cantha and the story will involve the Deep Sea Dragon but other than that it's just whatever we can guess from the teaser trailer. Either they'd have to offer it for pre-purchase with no info and hope some people are willing to take a chance on it or they'd have to give away info which should really be in the first announcement.

 

Of course it's possible that it won't be available until sometime after that, if I remember correctly there was a gap between HoT first being announced and being made available to buy, but we won't know that either until the announcement.

Yep  The Great Content Drought of 2015.

 

I wouldn't be too worried about the pre-purchase as you really don't gain anything from pre-purchasing it as soon as you can versus the day before.

Seriously? Why pre-order?

 

South Park said it best:

I sometimes pre-order or pre-purchase games I'm certain I want to buy because it's more convenient for me. I buy it when I have the money available and then it shows up when it's released.

 

Of course I have to be sure I want it ASAP, if I'm undecided or I want to see reviews first then I'll wait, and obviously I'll only do it with games I'm sure will actually come out (or via a method where I don't pay until it does). But if there's no unanswered questions it can be useful to have that option to pay for it when it's convenient and then not have to worry about it.
