JSmooth.7654 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The new expansion is (almost) a week away. Will PoF have a box release in stores? If so, I'd rather buy the box edition. If not, I don't want to miss out on the pre-order stuff. A heads-up would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems PoF _might_ have a box on release, but nothing confirmed, it seems more likely that it will stick to just digital purchase. I hope the info helped.

I appreciate the effort. I guess I'm looking for an official response or confirmed facts. The website for my local retailer(s) does not have the expansion listed yet. If the expansion will only be a digital download, then I'll go ahead and purchase it. But again, I'd rather make a traditional purchase if given the option. It sucks to be in limbo knowing that I might miss out on pre-purchase extras for something that might not happen... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't soon, I'll go digital, but I'm sad because I love having boxes :'(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiscan.8345 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 In germany, you can order a boxed-version [at amazon](https://www.amazon.de/Guild-Wars-Path-Fire-PC/dp/B074HG9T98 "at amazon") or at [bücher.de](https://www.buecher.de/shop/adventure--rollenspiele/guild-wars-2-path-of-fire-pc/cd-rom/products_products/detail/prod_id/48771187/ "bücher.de"). But i don't know about other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure in this case "primarily" was their way of gently putting that there will be no boxed copies for sale, and what they meant was it will _only_ be available as a digital download. I mean, it launches in a week, if there's no word on this by now, there isn't going to be any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaken.6801 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Last year I was burned by their boxed versions. Got myself a pre-order box, because I thought it was the only one that will get released and ended up with a cheap box and a code in it. Totaly not worth it. They later released the game in a box and a DVD, which would have been my prefered version. I guess they really stopped with that and I am very sad about that development.

Razor.9872 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hey guys, I managed to get an official response through a support ticket. Jigson said: "Hello, Thank you for contacting us. *Please keep in mind that there will be no physical copy of Path of Fire released.* If you wish to purchase Path of Fire, please purchase a retail copy/serial code from an authorized retailer. A list of authorized retailers can be found here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/retailers . You may also acquire a digital copy of the game through the Guild Wars 2 official website here: https://buy.guildwars2.com/. Regards, Jigson Guild Wars 2 Support Team http://help.guildwars2.com/" So yeah, it's a bummer, but understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyel.1843 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 So what is the thing you can buy in Germany then? It doesn't look like a digital code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably just a case with the GW2: POF logo on it, with a piece of paper and the code inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
