Guild Wars 2

Hello, just wanted some info on the status of the character slot with the standard edition of HoT on old core accounts.

Everywhere “official” I’m looking, there’s no mention of ArenaNet adding it for old core accounts except, of course, during the “pre-purchase” period…

So, has it change without it being annonced, marketed ? Will it change ?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

ps: I’m not trying to start a debate or anything, just want some fresh info on that matter, thank you.

Thanks everyone for the responses, have a good game.

The Wiki page for Long Arm of the Light says that if you are less than 80 you get half a level. I would think if you don’t have HoT you’d just get XP towards your normal rollover XP bar. Did you notice if that happened or not? If not then they must have specifically programmed that to only give XP to HoT accounts and not to non HoT accounts. Either way it definitely won’t be stocked for later. You either got it on our existing non-mastery XP bar or it vanished. Hopefully it went to your non-mastery XP bar.

I’m a full on level 80 and I think I got a “nice” chunk of XP, but it’s not as if it’s worth anything now… And maybe it was just the normal XP for completing something so…

Thanks to you and the others for the responses, hope I get some officials to give a nice and straight answer.

I’ll leave the post up just a little more, then mark it as answered.

Hello,

I just got the “Long Arm of the Light” achievement and the reward was Mastery experience. I was wondering, since I don’t have the expansion, if that experience was stocked somewhere or just completely lost…

In the “Reimagining Progression: The Mastery System” post, there’s that part:
“Some Mastery points will come from content that existing players may have already completed, and these Mastery points will be automatically awarded to you with the release of Heart of Thorns, allowing you to get started on your Mastery journey right away.”
Does this mean it is indeed stocked somewhere ?
Just want to be certain.

Finally, I’ve looked around for the answer but it seems those who asked a similar question had the expansion BUT hadn’t “unlocked” the mastery system yet so…
