What about players who own HoT, but don't have PoF?Also no.


This is for players buying PoF today and ongoing.Just as "f2p" got access to all the core game (except masteries) and HoT buyers got all of core, while 2012 veterans paid for each separately.

Turns out: I was mistaken. I was going by past practices, not what they announced.Turns out: they have a full blog post about it. (To be fair, had the OP read that first, they would not have had any questions.)

They said that all current players who own PoF will get HoT for free. They're also refunding anyone that bought HoT in the past 2 months.

Actually, WoW stopped requiring you to even buy the base game (for a new player). At this point if you pay the sub price, you get access to everything through Legion. Battle for Azeroth is the only expansion you have to pay for. (And once the next expansion goes on sale, BfA will be rolled into the same deal.)

Yeah what about us? I got HoT and left some 2 months after its release. I never bought PoF because I saw no future in Anet's overall fuzzy-logic (too much left: Turn right - too much rigtht, Turn left) choice of "direction". If they gave me PoF today it wouldn't change a thing for me: I would not return, I wouldn't buy tons of gems. It would probably annoy many of the GW2 loyalists though.Unwanted gifts is on most accounts a stupid move. Otoh: Giving HoT to fans that like PoF may make a lot of sense.

PS: Yeah I am revisiting, lurking the forums, for that 0.001% chance of a GW3 announcement was happening.

You could not have had the glider already as it was just released today as part of said HoT Veteran’s Package as well as the title. The only thing you could possibly have already obtained prior to the HoT Veteran’s Package is all the gem store skins that are available as a single choice via the voucher.

People who own both expansions get exactly the same stuff as people who just own HoT: a glider, a choice of a gem store armour skin (all helmet skns if I remember right) and the outfit, which is in the gem store for 0 gems rather than included in the mail.

They can buy PoF like everyone else.

It's not so weird to give old content for free with new expansions. It would be weird to give current expansions for free to old players.

Check in game if you can play the 1st story of Heart of Thorns (maybe start it then). If you don't have it there should be some lock.

If you have this story locked, check if you have it on your account manager, maybe you need to do something there?

If there is no HoT added at all, contact support so they can look into the issue as to why you never got HoT and fix it for you.
