Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

Im new to the game, I was looking a the new releases to the gemstore today in the release notes and was quite interested in the Path of Fire Preparation Pack, but i cant actually see it on the gemstore, nor does it pop up when i search for it. Am I missing something?

It shows up in my Gemstore under Promotions and Upgrades, costs 3500 gems.

Nope, I’m not seeing it all, I’ve gone though every tab. I can see the rival skies package on there, but none of the other packages they announced…the black lion level 80 ticket etc. I’m on the european servers, wonder if that is making a difference?

Since the EU data center had/has to have its data files restored, it might just be a matter of time.

Perhaps, give it a day or two, and then, if the issue is still present, contact the CS Team?

You could also try clearing your GW2 cache (instructions found in the Knowledge Base, accessed via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Search – Troubleshoot TP’).

Good luck.

I just asked in game if people could check their gemstores and everyone else was able to see the new promotions, looks like its just me. How odd

Tried clearing my cache but that hasn’t helped either, I’m running the base game with no expansions, maybe that’s a factor? so strage

Same here. I don’t have the expansion and I can’t find it anywhere in gem store.

I’m also on EU.

I am able to see it, and I am from EU aswell. Maybe you need the PoF expansion aswell...
Try to restart your client, maybe that will work.

I see it, and I don’t have the Path of Fire expansion, so that’s not what’s preventing items showing up in the Gem Store.

I’m sure the Devs are looking into it.

Good luck.

My main account can see it (with HoT and PoF ) and my alt account (vanilla Tyria only) can’t.

according to another thread, the new lvl 80 booster (“Black Lion Instant Level 80 Ticket”) doesn’t come with a shared inventory slot, yet requires one, because that’s where you will find it after purchasing it.
so if the “instant lvl 80 ticket” contained in the PoF preparation pack also requires such a slot, but the pack doesn’t include one, that could be the reason why you can’t buy it. → you don’t need HoT or PoF, just a shared inventory slot

It is possible that if you have maxed character limit it will not show up. The option to buy another character is not available for me and I’m sure others in this situation. There was a time awhile back when they offered a package of some sort, don’t remember what they called it. I bought it because it had a character slot. I never got the slot, Anet wasn’t able to add it to my main account so they refunded the gems. After that the option to buy that pack was no longer there. That being said. I did see the pack you are talking about, bought 2 and got everything except the additional character slots. Sent a ticket, still waiting to see. I have a feeling this will go the same way as the last attempt to upgrade more slots.

I’m curious about the (2) Bag Slot Expansions if you are already maxed on Bag Slot Expansions. Does this allow you to exceed the normal maximum slots? Also, it doesn’t specifically indicate if this is account bound but on the Bag Slot Expansion it does show as account bound. If I get the (2) Bag Slot expansions via this pack and can’t use it on my primary account, can I send it to my secondary account? If I can’t, then basically that is useless.

I cannot say about mailing them, I was thinking they are account bound. As far as adding more. I’m pretty sure there is a max on bag slots. I was thinking on some toons it stopped giving me the option to add more bag slots. But I see your concern. If you already have them all maxed and buy more will it allow you to add? My guess is they will allow you to add them to the new character slots you would get with the package.

Edit, just checked on the ones in the mail. It says, “account bound on acquire” so no on the mailing.

Just a pack to spend your ultimate gems and not on something useful for new player.

10 Keys and 1 lvl 80 booster is one of the worst things to buy in this game. Once you have one or two lvl 80 chars and play some PvP/WvW you have ton of tomes to lvl up. Exotic gear supplemented is like 20-30 gold witch is farmable in 2-3 hours.

Bag slots would be on anniversary sale later this month as well as char slot.

ONE gathering tool is luxury item that need to be used with shared inventory slot to be any useful as QoL item. And honestly one of the last thing to buy on account after bags, char slots, bank slots, shared slots and pass keys.

I’m curious about the (2) Bag Slot Expansions if you are already maxed on Bag Slot Expansions.

You can use bag slot expansions on other non max-bag-space chars.

Once you get it in mail and put them in inventory, they are soulbound.

This is a distinct possibility.

I have an account that can see it and an account that can’t. The account that can see it has shared inventory slots and the account that can’t, doesn’t. ANet could be blocking it from view if you can’t use it as is.

Cleared my cache, bought a Shared Inventory slot, cleared my cache again, and it’s still not there…
