Season 2 taken from Gemstore?
All our accounts have it unlocked already, so I cannot check. Interesting if it got removed.
Yeah, I did not have it unlocked, but I cannot find it in the gemstore.
I mean, the obvious answer is yes it did get removed since I can’t find it on there. However, I guess I’m just confused. Season 2 Living Story is game content; at least that’s how I understood the idea of selling that product. So, it was a bit distressing to see that game content isn’t available permanently.
I mean, this isn’t a festival or something, this is a huge chunk of the game.
Go to your story journal. You can buy it from there.
aw here i was hoping they’d come to their senses and autounlocked it for all HoT purchases
Hmm…the package deal with 20% discount does seem to be missing from the Gem Store, though one can still purchase individual episodes for 200 Gems each through the Living Story UI.

It would be nice to have a clean cut-off like that. While I do not do LS (the one ep I tried relies more on coordination than good gameplay and lore) it always bugged me that my unlocked episodes start in the 2nd half of a 2-parter.

i don’t think the 20% discount was actually ever a thing. the individual episodes were always 200 apiece, and the price for all 8 of them was 1600 if i recall right.
I had a “One-Time Per Account” package deal for either 1120 or 1200 gems for all episodes of LS2. I’ve had account since first beta, but skipped 2 years of game, which may be why it was there.
Sucks, I was saving up gold in-game to buy the gems, and had enough, but wanted a bigger pad, and thought the price might even drop pre-expansion. It might pop back up sometime but it’s just fluff anyway.

It was 1280 for 8 episodes. Less for fewer episodes. Gone now, though.

Thanks so much for all the info. I’ll update my original post if anyone else clicks this looking for info.
The living story season 2 is still available in the story journal, but isn’t 20% off.
Just a personal note,
I think it’s really frustrating as a customer to not have any sort of warning before they take these deals off. I’m sure their economist see this as an opportunity to strike a sense of compulsory buy, but as a buyer it just makes me angry and honestly not want to purchase anymore of their products.
I feel like this sort of behavior from ANet looks very “sleezy,” “If you don’t buy it now, you could never get another chance!” It sounds exactly how those infomercials act, basically shaming the customer into a purchase. ANet should be better than infomercials.
I understand this criticism is harsh, but I’m honestly very frustrated to see ANet still doing this with their gemstore. Other games may do this and get away with it, but GW2 is a higher caliber game than other MMO’s.
Please WARN your customers before randomly taking down a sale. Just taking sales off without a date is a bad business practice and I have several friends who used to play the game refer to this sort of business practice as one of the reasons why they quit.

I just bought it a bit ago. Gunna be so steamed if they do a bigger discount / bundle deal. ;_;
Glad I got mine last week. I had a nagging feeling that I had better get it soon while it was still on sale.
~whew!~

Not to Hijack your thread, but was the candy corn gobbler also removed?

No problem at all. I hope you get your info.
Thanks again to those who shared information. Btw, something I didn’t notice, that Gaile post was for an April 14th update. There is no official news about the sale coming back anytime soon.
The candy corn gobbler was a halloween event item and was removed when halloween was over. Shouldd be back in a couple months when halloween rolls around again
It was just up yesterday for several hours…. Which imo is too short of a time to see it, and make a decision.

The point of the link to the Game Notes (that included Gaile’s post, if that is the post your are referring to) was to show that when added to the Gem Store, the bundle was offered at a discount. Gaile’s post referred to a problem that showed up when the bundle was first released, and subsequently was soon added back into the Gem Store back in April. Nothing to do with this recent removal.
Good luck.
Anything official on this? Ive been saving for it and was kittened to see it gone, bad enough i had to pay for it in the first place!!!
Dang. This sucks. I was waiting until the 3 year anniversary sale to pick this up. (I plan to buy about $50 in Gems around the 28th of this month.)
Maybe I’ll just wait later to buy it? Or maybe at this point we should just skip it since HoT is going forward with the story anwyay… :/
