Confusion over game editions

Okay yeah, I just didn’t do enough clicking. 500 gems per set skin. All together, 1500 gems, 500 cheaper than the DigDel upgrade. Also, taking the upgrade only gets ONE of the skins anyways. Thanks for the heads up!

Though this still raises the question: why do current registrations of the CE get the bonuses, but original copies don’t? We all paid the same price. :/ Or original DD editions for that matter…

The bag I know you can get on the market, but I was not aware that you could get legacy armour anywhere else.

Edit- the wiki agrees. Not that the wiki knows all, but I’ve found it to be pretty trustworthy.

The wiki says the only way to get the legacy armour is from a Heroic Chest, and the only way to get THAT is from either the Heroic edition or Digital Deluxe edition of the game.

When GW2 first released, I pre-ordered the Collector’s edition. This was an awesome decision and I love all my cool loot (and have no problems with the extra cost- the GW2 dev team deserves it!). But then the editions were upgraded to include a suit of legacy armour and mithril box.

The official edition chart includes these extras, and claims the Collector’s edition has them; found here:
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/27658908-Game-Versions-and-Digital-Items
but I, as a Collector’s Edition owner, never got the legacy armour or the box. The chart on the wiki actually reflects this:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2
and so now I’m confused. Were those bonus items supposed to be included in the CE, or not?

Do I need to “upgrade” my account to the Digital Deluxe edition for them? I’d prefer to avoid that; both because I already spent $150 ish on the game, and because I prefer my account to remain a “Collector’s Edition” version instead of changing to show the the Digital Deluxe. It’s a silly sentiment, I know; but I think the price tag warrants a BIT of silliness.

If I have to “upgrade” to get those bonuses… Well, there’s better deals for other things in the gem shop. Also, I’d rather save up for the coming expansion right now. :P

Hall of Monuments Update?

Since a bunch of people are getting reward points, I guess I could ask this:
Is it still possible to get the multiplayer titles/rewards for the HoM? Or is the GW1 multiplayer too depopulated for that? I do remember playing a couple rounds of multiplayer games in GW1 and it was fun but never did it enough to get anything out of it.

Any progress on letting us replay Season 1?

This thread is pretty old, but I’m going to post here anyways.

TBH, I don’t know what could or could not be implemented to allow us to play Season One, but I do know that the Living World stuff is by far the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen in an MMO. ESPECIALLY Season one, where you can’t even buy the chapters and play out what happened. I missed both seasons but at least I can pretend to have been able to participate for Season 2.

Like some other players, I had Real Life stuff happening during times I could have been playing. I think I got to see a whole one event of Season One: the bar party after everything was all over. I could log in sporadically during those times, but it was never enough to see or understand what was really going on. I’d get a notice about this event happening, play for a couple hours, then have to log off for ages because of school+life.

Coming back to the game now that I have time to play? There’s nothing for me. I can play the main campaign, run around the world… but everywhere I see evidence of great story moments. World changing events. And all I can think is that I missed out on some of the most interesting, exciting parts of the game, and they’re gone forever.

All that’s left is a game that’s missing a quarter of it’s content. A party that’s finished, and I came in just in time to see everyone passed out on the floor. “Thanks guys, this looked awesome, too bad I wasn’t there. Are you ever going to do this again? Maybe I can catch the next party.” And the answer? “NO. NEVER. Go hang out in the stuff we left behind.”

Would it be so terrible to repeat the seasons as a kind of semi-annual event? Put the world back to launch date zones, leave it for a bit so we can enjoy the zones as they were, and then restart Season One. Play through to the end, start Season Two immediately. Or don’t do Season Two at all, since we CAN access those as buyable chapters. Leave the resulting zones and areas for the next few months to give the impression that “yeah, all that stuff happened.”

It’s not perfect. The whole point of Living World is, of course, to have a changing and evolving story and world. Taking it back to the start is not that. But it’s still better than leaving all the new players and people who couldn’t make it to rot.

Asura home needs to be slightly expanded

Not really a bug per say, but the current instance boarders inside the asura home cut off a corner of the uppermost research room. And by a corner, I mean almost in half.

Where's Deborah after I save her? :(

Bump because I’m really hoping for an answer. :/

I guess this is just a bit of a nitpick, but after I go and save my sister (in the human campaign, if you pick the sister-related option at character creation) she isn’t anywhere in my home district. I guess she could’ve returned to active duty with the seraph, but nobody in the “home” location (a pub for commoner little me) says anything about her either. It’s like she ceases to exist after she’s no longer relevant. Was she there briefly after I finished the quest, then de-spawned after I took the next one? because I took the audience with the queen before going to the home district…

It’d be remarkably awesome if she showed up later in the story proper, and less awesome if I just missed her after a terribly brief point where she’d have been at home. but, so far I’m just disappointed.
