Guild Wars 2

I purchased the Digital Deluxe upgrade a while back, and received all items that come with it.

My only problem is with the Golem Banker. I believe you can use it for 5 days, iirc…

But why does that have to include OFFLINE time as well?

I’m a casual player, with lots of work on my hands, so i’m not able to play for days sometimes.

I used the Golem Banker twice, but when i logged on yesterday, the Golem Banker was unusable, because the timelimit had passed.

Is this intended, or a bug?

Edit : Forgot the word twice in there :P

I agree on this and do feel that the golem banker should be inline with the fire imp from GW1 or an item without a time limit.

I’ve not used mine yet because of the time limit. I figured I’d start using it when my guild starts doing dungeons or something.

The Deluxe edition / upgrade is a total rip-off. The Golem Banker should have been permanent, or at the very least, give us a discount and make him available for purchase with gems.

You even pay 5€ more for the upgrade it seems.
2000 gems, equals 25€ so you buy the game for 54.99€ , and 2000 Gems for the upgrade.

That makes it 79.99€, while the Digital Deluxe version in the shop costs 74.99€…

I wonder why that is.

About the Golem Banker, i wouldn’t mind if it was permanent, although i’d be happy if it just had 50 or 100 uses, instead of an 5 day time limit that includes offline time.

Any official that can elaborate on this?

I agree, the RL time limit is absurd. A limit of 25 uses would have made more sense.
Definitely not worth the purchase price.

My mouse is a bit funky and I accidentally activated mine within the first 5 minutes of playing (hadn’t left the tutorial area). Luckily, I haven’t been having too many inventory problems since I have decent bag room and bought some bank slot expansions, but the item really did go to waste. Limited uses would be way better than limited time.

IMO i think this upgrade is not worth the 2k gems and i would advise anyone thinking about buying it to don’t, use the gems to upgrade your inventory or bank space. The elite skill was a total let down as well only last 30 sec and has like 150-200 sec cool down cant remember correctly.

I also do not get this… make him permanently and I’ll upgrade immediately. That’s a lot of cash without any balance changes.

Annoyed as well. I’d hope there’d be a way to “recharge” the golem, then I saw the cashshop bank portal.

If it was permanent, even with a cooldown timer, I’d get one. But since there’s a limit and it includes offline time as well – well, it’s a complete waste.

A cooldown timer would make sense (such as 1 hour per 24 hours of use, or so).

The time limit was the reason I didn’t upgrade to the Digital Deluxe. The banker was the only thing I wanted but when I saw the time limit I decided not to upgrade.

The temporary benefits is the reason why I ended up fighting between standard and CE. (I got CE…)

I’d like an option to at least recharge my golem though. As it is it’s sad to see him grayed out in my bank tab. Grey him out, make him have a 7 day cooldown.

I’d still like to see an answer from an official about the Golem Banker. Is it going to be changed?

Also about the 5 Euro’s extra when using gems to upgrade to Digital Deluxe.
