Confusion about Ultimate Edition
The Ultimate Edition only adds 4000 gems.
If you have everything previous, you’d just be getting gems at at heavy discount.

I realize that, but the whole “The Ultimate edition will not be available as an upgrade and must be purchased as a full game package” part makes it sound like you can’t upgrade your current account and would have to start completely over with a brand new account.
It means it will not be available as an upgrade like digital deluxe / heroic edition is now in the game store ie. post launch.
With The Ultimate Edition u can upgrade your account right away. It want be possible to buy it later as an upgrade in the gemstore, like the “Digital Deluxe Upgrade” from the normal GW2 game.
and all have a class-mate at the same level.

According to the news section it says “The Ultimate edition of the game includes all of the above in addition to 4,000 gems. The Ultimate edition will not be available as an upgrade and must be purchased as a full game package.”
Does this mean we cannot upgrade our current account with the Ultimate Edition and have to start with a completely new one?
No, you do not need a new account. It means you will not be able to upgrade a HoT Standard Edition or HoT Deluxe Edition to Ultimate Edition at a later date.
it means….
if you buy HoT standard edition, you can’t upgrade to HoT ultimate edition. if you want HoT ultimate edition, you have to buy it straight up. it has nothing to do with any pre-HoT content you already own.

No you wouldnt, you’d get an additional character slot at €5 discount. That is all. The rest is fluff that no one need or want (ie mini crap etc).
That said, I cant see anything like this mentioned about the Ultimate version on the purchase page (or cart)? Where is the source for this info?

Ah. I just looked at the purchase page, ignoring the news.
Guess it can be interpreted different ways, but I also guess they are talking about the Deluxe edition being available in the future as an upgrade from standard (just like how GW2 did it, maybe for gems). It would make sense that you need to buy Ultimate as is, otherwise you’d be buying gems by paying with gems.
If I purchase Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns Ultimate edition, will I get 4000 gems now or only after the GW2:HoT release?
You should get them now, though some people are experiencing a delay. Mine showed up right away last night along with a mail containing the items.
I’m a little dubious because I know how readily I spend gems. I’m going to have to be careful to keep them banked as best I can in anticipation of cool new things when HoT launches.

No, it means it will not be available later on as a gemshop upgrade (unlike HoT Deluxe, which will be available later as a upgrade to HoT basic version).
Remember, remember, 15th of November
Here’s my question; Is the Ultimate Edition gonna be a limited time only thing for will it still be available post-launch?

Did you also get the character slot?
