No Naxxramas Price Reveal on July 1st
Looks like we won't be seeing any pricing info on July 1st as previously announced.
Quote from AratilI know everyone is really excited for any and all information regarding Naxxramas. We’re doing our best to get it into your hands as soon as possible. However, it turns out we’re actually not going to be quite ready to announce Naxxramas pricing on July 1st as I previously mentioned—we do still want to announce more Naxxramas information soon, but I’m afraid it won’t happen on July 1st. We’ll get the details to you as soon as we have finalized information to share.
Just once would it kill you guys to just tell us what we want to know straight up, no hints, no secrets, no elongated waiting.
My earlier post indicating that we were originally targeting July 1st to announce Naxxramas pricing was an attempt to be more transparent with how progress is coming along.
Well,it's probably much more than that. Really, this time Naxxramas would be a gold-sink.
First the "WoD beta invites are being targeted at veterans!" claim being a total farce now this.
Blizzard really are in prime chain-yanking mode this week.
Reminding us once again why it's better to just not to mention dates. Just give it the old "it'll be released when it's done."
Obviously, this works a little differently when you're dealing with physical products and distributors. But if it's for the timing of when you hit the Naxx button, just deflect the question until it's actually rolled out.
On the other hand, I'm kind of curious what might be going on that'd change the cost at this phase. That seems like the sort of thing that should be settled early in development, but maybe people are hoarding more gold than Blizzard anticipated.
Im prepared to pay up to 5k gold for naxx. Right now to craft golden cards from dust are around from 10x for common to 2x for legendary. So price for glden cards will be absurd and anyone who want them will need to pay rl money. I think gold to $ ratio will be 1-1 or 1-0.5 forcing pl to pay money or flush their gold.
Get prepared to boycott this game.
Well I am not hooked. If Naxxramas had to keep being like this, I definitely would say adieu.
What the hell, they said they were going to tell us and now the straight out renege that claim? I've never wanted an "internal leak" to happen more than I have right now! This is BS! The gold saving will continue until some information is available!
So sad! :( I am sure them going to increase the price. Lets hope the heroic modus won'T be exclusive for real money purchases. That would be the worst case.
Well I could see a price of 5$ per wing, or 5000 Gold. That would make the choice for most players pretty obvious and help Blizzard make profit. Also complaining that the "free" option of payment takes too much time wouldn't be fruitful, you can always just pay the money. People who don't want to pay the money nor grind for the gold probably are among those who haven't spend a cent on this game, which means losing them isn't even the most terrible thing for Blizzard.
You honestly believe paying 20k gold would be a feasible option? Get outa here~
It better be Free i have spent over 500$ easily in this game.
Straight answer from blizzard...Come on you know that will never happen.
Maybe they delayed it so they can patch the damn Hunter bug first =)
One can hope anyways.... :(
Well played.
I think they would considerately raise the price of tickets to Naxxramas, like from 1000-2000 each wing. They are supposed to have exact data of player-base's vault so if they would find out the majority of players won't spend a penny on Naxxramas, they probably will inflate the price to a incredible level, such as 3000 per wing, or they just make Naxxramas only available by real money.
If they are going to follow that route, they are going to lose many loyal players. I for one have spent 90 Euros on this game (which I have never before for any type if game) and it is the only game I'm currently playing. If they asked for 1500+ gold/wing or more than 10 Euros, I'm going to quit. Not because I can't afford it but out of principle.
</3 this is immensely disappointing news.
Something tells me there will be an increase in the gold price of the wings, but I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to just scrap the gold part and make Naxx available with only RL money. I hope not but this is ACTIVISION-Blizzard we are talking about.
Holy crap all this time to get Naxx out for people to play then they wait a week for each wing to come out and we don't even know the price. I love Blizzard games I do but I really hate how they tell us they're going to release information then take it right back without an ETA.
This is what I was thinking of, plus some things I didn't think of.
