Q:
Outdated Log-in Screen
Yep, the launcher got updated. Maybe try to restart and let it patch, occasionally you will get the new laucher as well.
My game is up to date. was excited about the changes made to spirit weapons so thats the first thing i tried out. i logged in and allready had a few play sessions, but I’m still using the HoT Log-In screen.
First I thought its because i haven’t pre-ordered the game yet, but then friends told me, that they saw the new log in screen regardless.
Huh, that’s weird. I haven’t pre-purchased it and last night when I went to play it started to patch then all suddenly the launcher got changed. How do you know your game is up-to-date? Could you check what’s the build number (go to Options, the numbers is on bottom left)?
Although I’m not sure if it’s possible to play without patching but may be possible since there are command line args that prevent patching O.o [shrugs]
Edit: my mistake, there is not command line args to not patch, but there is an arg to only patch, without starting the game. For instance, the -image argumment (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments#-image).

just so we don’t talk past each other, I’m refering to the character select screen, when saying log-in.
The launcher has the Path of Fire magenta look to it, but when looking at my characters, everything is as it is with HoT.
People say, that the desert background is there, even for people without PoF. is that true?
oh, and yes. i have access to all profession changes, that came with this balance patch.

Ahh, I thought you meant the launcher. That’s right then. Hmm, I can’t tell that yet, last night when I tried to log-in the game was under maintenance and I couldn’t log-in. I have seen only the launcher so far. If this thread isn’t going to get updated within 4 to 5 hours I can come back and tell that.
Okay, I have yet to purchase Path of Fire and I have the Heart of Thorns Character Select screen.
When asking others if they had the updated ‘Log-in screen’ before purchase of PoF, they may have been thinking of the launcher, as most would.
It will probably change with purchase.
Good luck.

Possibly it will eventually change without purchasing at some point. The Character Selection screen changed to the HoT themed one around HoT launch (maybe a few days before) even for those who didn’t own it yet (as in my case).
True. I guess I was thinking more of my eventual purchase, and projected that.
I’m sure everyone will, eventually, end up with the same background in Character Select.
