Guild Wars 2

The Mad Memories back skin does not get unlocked by Mad Memories: Complete Edition. Per the patch notes, since Mad Memories was required in order to obtain the Complete Edition, it should have been unlocked, right?

I would love it if that’s the case (hopefully they can do that if they choose, since you’re right it’s impossible to get the second without already getting the first), but I never assumed it would be since even though Mad Memories was a prerequisite, the two skins were entirely separate items. I was under the impression that they only meant that for items where item A had to be consumed to create item B and so on, as with the spinal blades.

The Mad Memories item was not required for the Complete Edition.

You had to have done the quest, but the item itself was not required. They were 2 separate rewards.
