Guild Wars 2

Not bug related but still important. A lot of us who prebought the game consumed the glider skin the second we got it, does this mean we won’t have the skin ever? Or will we still have it come launch of HoT? If we won’t ever get it then that seems a little… well aggravating.

Its probably hidden in some wardrobe like panel in our Hero panel which we can’t access yet. Don’t worry we will be able to use it once HoT is released.

I used the skin at the start of the beta (with a beta character) and that character got the glider skin. I’m sure there will be a wardrobe section for it later but this is the only way I’ve seen it work so far.

yeah, that is why i am asking the question because right now the only ones who have it are those who placed in the bank which is only a small amount of the players who bought HoT

I dont even know if i got my glider skin now…. i thought we would get it on release

I had the same concern, having also consumed my glider skin right after I pre-ordered. I am SO happy to let you know that I was playing tonight and as soon as I got the glider mastery filled (the first bar!), I was able to glide! At first I didn’t even know what it was. I saw this whitish thing when my character jumped and thought it was an enemy of some sort. Then it did it again and I sort of…glided!!! I immediately found a few places to try jumping from, and out came these lovely whitish gliding wings! So, even if you consumed your glider skin before the beta, you’re okay!

Right, everyone gets a glider when they do the mastery. The pre-purchase skin is just a fancier looking one with green energy trails.

Oh okay. for some reason I’d been under the impression we wouldn’t be able to glide without the skin. I’m still just so glad to know it’s truly a “skin” and not something needed in order to glide. I’m doing my happy dance!

just to add i dont think this is intended i used mine on my beta account only got it on the one toon

To explain the “skin” is not the glider, it is the one with the green trail and actually a cosmetic skin for the glider. If we pre-bought the game we get one and I consumed mine right away without thinking…
