Guild Wars 2

So I recently “lucked” out and got both a Shining Blade Glider and a Moth Backpack from a the Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlocks. However, it turns out that when you unlock the Moth Backpack for example, the Moth Glider isn’t unlocked with it even though you can’t buy them separately through any means. This is weird since with the armor sets you can get, you only see the chest-piece in the wardrobe unlock section and when you get a chest-piece, the whole set unlocks with it. Why doesn’t it work like this with the glider/backpack combos? Pretty bummed to get what is essentially half a skin or no skin if one were to buy the combo for the other version.

I don’t think it’s a bug, but intended. You will find the corresponding piece as a separate unlock.

Good luck.

You got a free unlock worth 300-400 gems are you’re bummed because it’s not an unlock worth 700 gems?

I suspect that Inculpatus is correct that this is intended. Still, doesn’t hurt to ask. All the same, I say congratulations on getting some rare & valuable drops.

It doesn’t matter that you can’t purchase them separately. The GWU only unlocks one item at a time, and those are two items you mentioned (backpack and glider).

I’d encourage you to file a support ticket on this. I have no opinion on the “right” behaviour, but the forums are not the way to get an actual, official, answer from anet on how they see it should work.

I don’t see the harm in being confused – how would he know that he might receive the “other half” separately when they aren’t available separately in the only other method to receive them and the Unlock doesn’t explain?
