Masta Squidge.7438 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 So, I am sitting here looking at the store in order to upgrade my ancient, 13 year old GW1 account to a full GW2 account to enjoy all the benefits. I have a full account of GW2 on another account that I bought and linked to a different email in light of my old GW1 account being stolen and linked to GW2. You can imagine the headache it was getting that back when they were demanding I supply them with the GW2 CD key on an account which was stolen from me (since I didn't apply the GW2 key, obviously I didn't have it). ANYWAYS. I got my account back, and want to play GW2. So instead of trying to get them to switch over, I need both expansions anyways. I am looking at the store and selected the "Standard Collection". This then presented me with an option to upgrade. I choose the "Ultimate Collection". Now in reading this, it seems to state that it includes everything EXCEPT Heart of the Thorns despite having "upgraded" from the standard collection (which contains both). Am I simply overthinking it and will receive both expansions when doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masta Squidge.7438 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 I believe it to be correct and will include both expansions as the price is $99.99 vs $79.99 when I choose just Path of Fire on its own and select the ultimate upgrade but would like confirmation before blowing $100 only to find I need to spend another $30.

Khisanth.2948 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 It should look like this when you add HoT ...  As the picture shows it includes both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in game screen does not show this. I will attempt to do so through the web store instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masta Squidge.7438 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 I have successfully found this on the web store rather than in game. In game it just says "Ultimate Collection $99.99", and the description on the screen prior to checkout for the Ultimate Collection only states Path of Fire, and leaves it a bit open for interpretation. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosmaster.8263 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If I'm not mistaking, you can't buy the expansions through the game, only the upgrades. Say, Standard to Heroic. The expansions have to be purchased through their website or an approved vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 You _can_ purchase the expansions through the Gem Store. All 'Collection' packages include a Standard Edition (and only Standard Edition) of Heart of Thorns. Otherwise, you must purchase separately.
