Yes, you can buy them off the Trading Post.

They currently cost 3 tickets, not 1600 of anything. When a Black Lion weapon skin set is first introduced, it is (as far as I can recall) always 1 ticket per weapon. After some time, a new set will become the new set, pushing the old sets either to a more expensive price or into temporary retirement. The Glacial weapons were new when that video came out; they're not new now. So, that's why they cost 3 tickets.

As has been said already, EU players can participate in the code giveaway for the outfit and Heroic edition. The only part they (and anyone else not living near a Kung Fu Tea location) cannot take part in is the sweepstakes for the deluxe editions of PoF/HoT.

Just an FYI for people trying right now: Facebook is currently down in quite a few areas of the world. Same for Instagram, apparently.

When you buy the game or an expansion from the store on the website, the serial code is sent to the email entered by the buyer. The buyer can simply copy and paste the code to the other person (or forward the email). From there, the other person can apply the code to their own account.

I'm pretty sure "the hackers" are simply the vast number of GW2 players (and some gold sellers) jamming an app not made to handle that many users for the past few days.

That doesn't say they've disabled anything, though. It just acknowledges that there are major issues and that they'll make sure people still get their codes.

Are you sure you're checking the right chest? It can be easy to get confused with certain ones because there will sometimes be more than one chest in that general location (like in OP's case, where the chest being opened wasn't the correct chest).

Yes, putting the code on a free account turns it into a full base account.

Yes, last night. I also got my codes last night. I obviously haven't tried it today, though.

Make sure you're typing it in exactly right, with the dashes.

Mine finally fully worked. Took a good five hours of sporadic app restarts to have the offer show up on the app and then another 20 minutes of further restarting to make the message with the codes show up properly. But I now have my outfit and my heroic edition code.

Have you tried adding that person to your friends list first? I'm not sure if that'd make it auto-fill the mail address field, but it's worth a try. Also, you can just type the person's account name into the address field.

> After each failure, did you have to go to Facebook and de-authorize 'Social Rewards' before trying again? Or, did you just leave that there and keep trying to connect in the app itself? At one point when trying to connect to the app did it seem to work? Does that radio button show 'on' for you now?

I "de-authorized" it twice but then gave up on that. So, my next 10 or so attempts were just repeat spam attempts, without going into Facebook to remove the permissions from the last attempt. On my unsuccessful attempts, the radio button would show On until I left the Connect Social Media Accounts tab; once I left that tab and came back, the button would show Off. After the successful attempt, it now shows my FB profile picture and name at the top of the Connect Social Media Accounts tab, and the Facebook button stays On, even after fully restarting the app.

I tried (and failed) multiple times at getting Facebook to connect to the app. It finally connected properly about 10 minutes ago. So, we'll see if the reward ever pops up. :p

What Dean said. To further back it up, I also saw this:

"Kung Fu Tea customers who link their Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook accounts through the Kung Fu Tea mobile app can claim unique in-game codes to download a dragon-themed character outfit, in addition to the Guild Wars 2 Heroic Edition. The Heroic Edition is not available at retail and expands upon the Guild Wars 2 game, offering a unique set of armor, an 18-slot inventory box, and 10 experience boosters to jump-start players’ adventures in the world of Tyria.”

Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean by "rare" here. There were minis, weapons, and the necklaces in the bags, among other things I may be forgetting.

> I can't add my snowball.

If you mean the Enchanted Snowball, then you can't add it (yet) because it's a tonic.

She just needs a giant demon puppy to go with her.

I want a cushy pink throne . . .

If you want a direct response, you'll need to submit a support ticket. If you didn't get the confirmation email after sending in your first ticket, that means that it either went to your spam folder OR that your ticket didn't go through. If you've checked your spam folder and still don't see the email, then you need to submit another ticket.

Contact support and ask if they can send you the item you wanted. They'll likely ask you to destroy the item you accidentally bought. But keep in mind that support is backed up, so it could take some time.

Which is funny to me because (if it's the one I'm thinking of) the drake capturing portion always seemed way more confusing and time-consuming than the arena.

They used to drop champ bags, but that was changed shortly after the champion loot changes happened. I imagine it was changed to keep people from trying to prolong the events in order to farm bags (like what happens sometimes with Claw of Jormag's second phase).

It's a bug that happens when there are connection issues with the GW1 servers. Relogging usually fixes it and restores any AP/titles.
