I still wish they would give us living story 1, as its kinda confusing to play and see the current characters and not know or experience what led you to know them in the first place.
Little missing disclaimer on this news article.
The core game's been free since the launch of the first expansion, Heart of Thorns. The store doesn't charge you extra for the core game. There are two separate and independent expansions, HoT and PoF. You can buy both as a bundle at a discount price (you get an offer before checkout) or just buy PoF alone and play the core game + the second expansion without touching HoT.
Note that both epxansions have their own unique styles in world map design, story telling, Masteries, Elite Specializations for all classes, raid content, etc. PoF story and world progression revolves around using different mount mechanics while HoT is an expansion that focuses on group challenges and tricky exploration and it shows as soons as you enter its first map. In a lot of ways (combat mechanics, new class builds, loot systems, world events, map design) both expansions are very different from the core game too. Their basic selling points are Elite Specializations (both expansions have their own class options), glider (HoT), mounts (PoF), world maps, stories.
