Many games do this exact same thing with expansions, they include the original game to entice new people to get the game, especially in this case where the expansion is not a stand alone game but the original is required to play the expansion.
Give me another example where the expansion wasn’t sell alone in a offer? Please.
Dungeon Siege and it’s expansion Legends of Aranna, from 12 years ago. Also a game I spent well over 1000 hours in. A game that sold nearly 2 million copies.
To all the people complaining about the “buying the original game” along with the expansion. Fine, get a refund for the difference paid minus a scaling time played, but also to get this refund you will have your current characters deleted as well as anything in your bank. The only things that should carry over are items bought with gems that were bought with real money not converted gold to gems. So if you bought an extra slot it will be there waiting for you on your brand new account. Bought an unlimited axe, it will be waiting for you in a in-game mail for your brand new character to use. Problem solved.

Lets just not buy the expansion until they reduce the price for people who already have the base game. Then all their precious events in the jungle will never succeed since no one will be there.
I really don’t understand this reasoning. But everyone seems to think this way. When the expansion was first announced I told my guild over and over as well as occasionally in general map chat that this is exactly what Anet would do. This is exactly the same model that other games I have played have done when releasing an expansion, from as far back as 12 years ago. It is what companies do to try to get new players into the game. It has no effect on current players so I really don’t see the issue. If someone that recently got the game demands satisfaction, refund them the difference in price and delete all their current characters and bank. The only thing that will carry over would be any real money gem purchases sitting there brand new for them to use on a new account.
The only thing I don’t get is that a new character slot is not included on the $50 version and 2 slots for the $75/$100 version. That is the only issue and it is not big enough to prevent me from already getting the $100 version. Big deal, less than a half day at work, already covered before lunchtime today.
Today I received a in game email for another phishing attempt. This is a new one I had not seen before:
“Hello:
We are sorry to inform you that your login account xxxx.xxxx will be shut down, due to a gems order which has received the refusal of payment. We have a reason to doubt that you embezzled the credit card or paypal of other people. please click the following link to validate: http://account.guildwars2.com.someotherjunk.pw Fill in your order information so that we can have a proof for bank or paypal, otherwise, we have to suspend your account,
Guild Wars2 Confirming Department”
Like the other ones I have received the wording is bad and this message doesn’t even really make much sense for parts of it.
I had this issue where everytime I went there to try to get it, it was never available. I finally got it on Tuesday right after the patch. If it is again not working the best I can suggest is to go there right after the next Tuesday patch on the 10th, or if they do another fix, go right there.
I have this happen to me about once a week. Sound will mostly stop, there is a weird background like sound but all normal game sound is gone. If I don’t kill the game and re-log it crashes in around 10 minutes. It seems that it may be some memory issue as this whenever the game does this my memory usage has gone bonkers. Luckily this only happens around once a week but of the 10ish times this has happened twice it has been during teq.
I am seeing that the common thread I share with the other 2 posters is Windows 8 and a Nvidia graphics card and Intel cpu.
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Intel 5930k stock
Nvidia GTX 980
32GB RAM
You can cross off XSV, I see they have transferred to HoD.
I was in wvw at the time the “hacking” started, though I did not see the specific incident that started this. At the time I was in Bay which dh controlled as well as Hills where map chat indicated it occurred. The youtube video posted was from some other time as GoM was ticking in the mid 300’s when map chat started to go bonkers about what was going on. What was said that there was 1 ram thrown down on a outer gate at Hills and on a reinforced gate it hit it 3 times and the gate was down. Then suddenly the whole zerg was at the Lord’s room and insta killed him.
I didn’t see this happen as I was on the other side of the map but what I did see was the entire dh bl map was flipped green in about 5 minutes against about the same number of people as GoM was attacking with. This was odd as all day all 3 servers were ticking points in the same 200-250 range when suddenly GoM spiked up to the mid 300’s from taking much of eb then sweeping dh and ticking near 500. I know scores like that can happen but not when all 3 servers appear to have roughly the same number of people playing. Today the scoring was pretty much even all day.
I cannot say for certain if it was hacking or not as I don’t know what hacks are even used or how they are used or how limited it is used. I just know how odd the ease and speed of the map wipe went. I have never seen it go that fast even when we are outmanned on the map and a large zerg shows up and marches around it taking everything like other servers have done to us other weeks or when we do it to others, it takes longer than that with zero fight back.
Personally I don’t have any video or pics to show this as I never take them, why would I want to watch some old wvw play when I could play it or pve instead.
I was finally able to get it after 3 more tries. The first time we left the last row full and didn’t get it. The next time we left the front row and didn’t get it. The last time we left the front and last row full and that did get it.
This wouldn’t be so annoying but takes so long to do this dungeon compared to most of the others.
Yeah I have “successfully” done as you are supposed to several times now. Unfortunately I am unable to test whether it is working for others in the group as the people I have been running with in my guild all have the achievement done and are saying this is exactly how they got it done.
I have done this dungeon many times since it was added I am still missing the Who’s in Charge Here? achievement. I have completed this part the way others in the groups have said they got it several times and I still have not got it to trigger. I have everything else on this done the first week it was out but for some reason this achievement will not trigger. Have left as many as 20 guys still over there when killing him but will not complete. I can’t really find any other entries on people having trouble with this part, kinda wondering if anyone else has.
I would likely still do them, as I have ended up being a bit of an achievement kitten of late. Though listening to guild chatter and server chatter in LA not many others will be doing it.
Same here, the second place finisher is locked, everyone in my guild and server was saying the same thing.
I created 5 characters on day one of the early release. The very first one has not received a birthday present; however all of the other 4 have.
This character also did have an issue at the beginning of not getting the starting pack either, though I was able to get it by going to the spot in The Undermarket in Hooligan’s Route.
I am just wondering if there was a bug on the very first character or am I just not getting the birthday present on the character for some other reason?
I was mapping out the Black Citadel and whenever I go into an instance location to the poi they have I am unable to leave. There is no option at the doorways to leave back out like there was going in. The only way out is to use a waypoint which is costing me 1s39c. I know it used to have a way out as I have mapped this area out with another character.
