crovester.4089 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Explain me why i dont see the offer? and what is this "Use the code PGW50 at checkout when you purchase the expansion from our official site."?also, this means i have to purchase something for the original price and expect that at the end of the purchase the price suddenly drops ? or im seeing this wrong? ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 You have to place whatever you want to buy in your cart, and add the code at checkout. You'll see the discounted price before confirming your purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadpool.7036 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It's in the fine print thats its not retroactive but I'm reaching out anyway. Probably should have kept the snarkiness to myself... Just found it ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crovester.4089 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 why is this Code thing? previous discoutns were not like this. Makes me feel weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Oblivion.2856 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 To make use of this, you select the version of Path of Fire you want (it works for the standard and the deluxe) and hit "Check out."At that screen, you can decide to add Heart of Thorns for $20 more (this will change your cart listing to "Collection").Below the listing of what's in your cart, there's an option to "Add Promo Code" and you can enter the PGW50 code there, updating the price listed in the shopping cart to 50% of what it was.Then you proceed through the purchase process like you would normally.I just did this process to get both standard editions (through the Standard Collection option), and the most significant difficulty I had was trying to figure out what format they wanted my phone number in. With tax, it cost a bit over $27 US and meant that, rather than trying to decide which expansion I was going to get, I was able to get both for less than the normal price of Path of Fire. So overall, I'm really excited about this deal.It does suck for anyone who's purchased it in the past couple weeks that it's not retroactive, though.

deadpool.7036 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I wonder if it means they want people to get caught up in preparation for another release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Oh I didn't realize you can get a HoT-n-PoF (H.R. Puff-n-stuff?) combo?How do you get to that link?I was thinking about maybe upgrading my 2nd account, which got a Kung Fu Normalization bump last month.

BaelorTarg.3049 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hello there, don't know if is the right place but i have some doubts and hope you can help me.I was waiting for HoT to be on sales since this summer. I've already bought PoF and now I see that 50% discount is valid only for PoF o PoF + HoT.What if I buy both expansion (to get the discount)? Will I receive 2 separate codes?No official retailer has HoT even in stock, so I cannot search for a discounted price anywhere else for the moment.

Will I receive 2 separate codes?Came here looking for the same info. Will you get one code for PoF that you can apply to an account that already has HoT, plus one code for HoT that you can apply to another account that has nothing yet? Or will you get a "collection code" that will only upgrade one account with both expansions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Oblivion.2856 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 @Shikigami.4013 @"BaelorTarg.3049" It's a single "Collection" code to put in that gives both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikigami.4013 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thanks for the clarification. It seems they really don't want anyone to buy HoT seperate from PoF anymore. After some searching I found out that there still is a way to put only HoT into the basket (by going via https://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com) in order to get a seperate code. However, not only will the discount not apply, but the price is 30€ instead of the 20€ for adding it to a PoF purchase. This leads to a rather absurd situation where HoT alone is 5€ more expensive than HoT+PoF...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyncale.1629 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 This is odd. I could upgrade my HoT-only account to PoF with the promo no problem, but when I made a brandnew account and tried to buy the collection that has both expansions it first sais: " Invalid promo"Then when I cleared cookies it let me add the promo code again, slashing the price in half but once I get to the Confirm screen, it sais:"We’re sorry, but the offer that was previously applied to Guild Wars 2 - Standard Collection (Path of Fire - Standard & Heart of Thorns - Standard) is no longer available. Please check your trolley before completing your purchase."I tried it with a second new account, same thing. The very first time I tried it, I got all the way to my Paypal page, but it ended up with Payment failed. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks for clarification. Now my only question is: what happen if i apply this code to an account that already has pof active? Will i loose my pof progression and restart with this hot+pof as i never played pof before?As @Shikigami.4013 said, it's more convenient for me to buy this pof+hot than hot alone, just need to clarify the question above ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
