Guild Wars 2

I’m totally psyched for the new wallet, btw. Love it.

So I hear about it, log in, go through all nine of my characters, and then realize: “I still only have 4 laurels?”

I know for a fact that’s not right because I checked just last night, I had 3 laurels on one character, and 4 on another. If I lose all my laurels, eh, whatever; I just figure this was not the intended operation

Other than that, everything worked out great, nothing else to report in the wallet.

Randulf.7614:

Laurels have def, 100%, always been account wide. What you have on one toon, is what you have on all toons. This has never been any different outside of any bugs

Then I must have been encountering a bug for a very long time then. My characters’ laurels have ALWAYS varied between one another.

I’ll update this post accordingly.

Edit: Actually, on second thought, there’s nothing that can be done now. With everything officially account-shared and displayed, it looks like 4 is the new solid baseline from which I can work from.

Thanks everyone. I do wish I had caught this sooner. I always just assumed it was normal for each character to have a different number of laurels.

Laurels have always been account bound. You had 4 before the update on every character, and now you have 4 after the update on every character.

No, that’s not true. Laurel numbers varied between characters for as long as I can remember. I know I’m not crazy when I say I’ve seen my laurel counts vary on every character I logged onto.

You are wrong, laurels are account bound.

Laurels always have been account-bound.
It could have been that you had 3 laurels on one character, then earned one laurel and on another character you saw 4 laurels the next time you were looking.
If that is not the case (or anyhing similar), there might be a bug. ^^
