Hi Guys,
Just wanted to clarify that we did indeed change our plans based on your feedback. What was said during the interviews at Gamescom was correct at the time but after listening to what you had to say we decided to make a change to the feature be in line with what you felt was a more balanced approach to the change.
Thank you very much for your feedback and we hope that you enjoy this upcoming change.
Thanks,
John

I would really like to direct the thanks to Zach and Tyler both of them came in over the weekend to make sure the change got in on time in order to stay on schedule with our QA test plan. I greatly appreciate the work the team put in to make this happen on this short of a time frame.

Inb4 this was a calculated ‘leak’ so they can then ‘generously’ change the decision to show how ‘in touch’ they are with WvW players.
Say what
I’m just going to squash this rumor right now. Before the strong negative feedback received after the interview at gamescom, every intention was for each color to cost 300g. Pending QA, that version was ready to ship for the feature pack.
When the flood of feedback came in, there was a flurry of emails working out the best course of action, and in the end Zach and Tyler worked the weekend to make sure this change could be made on time for 9/9.

Hi, Mark. If you or another employee have a moment, can the exact cost of the Commander’s Compendium following the 9-9 feature pack release please be clarified?
As it is now it costs 100g plus 250 Badges of Honor to purchase the Commander’s Compendium.
I know most people drop the BoH cost due their relatively easy acquisition, but all recent discussion of the increase in cost to 300g (triple current gold cost) has not included whether the BoH side of the cost is also tripled.
Q.
Is the additional Badges of Honor cost also tripled from 250 to 750, just as the gold cost is tripled from 100 to 300?I would appreciate a clarification on the change in total cost to the Commander’s Compendium following the release of the feature pack.
As always, thank you for everything you and your colleagues do.
The badge cost will remain the same at 250.

I have a question. A long time ago back towards launch I purchased a commander tag for one of my toons. Since then I have deleted the toon that had the commander tag, it was painful to see that gold wasted, and recreated the toon. So my question is, hope an anet dev can answer this, will I need to buy another tag before sept 9th or will the system be able to see that I have purchased one before. Either way is fine, I’d just rather not waste another 100g.
At least one of your current characters needs to have consumed the commander book in order to unlock the account-wide feature. So unfortunately, because you deleted the character who had the tag, you will have to re-buy the book.
