From my own limited experience (5 account in our family between 7 years and 1 year old) it looks like they are sending them out roughly by account creation date, oldest first, youngest last. My husband (who was the last to start playing a little over a year ago) still hasn't gotten his either, while the kids and myself all got ours at various times from shortly after the announcement up to yesterday morning.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 > @"Fenom.9457" said: > I didn’t even get the stuff in the mail they sent me There's a post by one of the devs indicating that was a bug and (eventually) anyone who got that mail will get the actual stuff. If you haven't received it by Tuesday, then file a support ticket so that they can fix it for you. (I say Tuesday because Monday is a US holiday, and offices are closed. Of course you can start the ticket before then, it's just there's a decent chance that if there's a script issue, they'll fix it on Tuesday morning before your ticket is even read.)

I was not expecting to get anything free from the announcement stream so how about be grateful for it? > well we did pay like 50$ for this expantion and now its for free ... so yeha i would expect for more as well , lets assume that you also paied for the base game , so you spent 100$ about something now is given for free . iknow its old and bla bla bla , and its may lure more players into the game , but i cant igonre that the copmanstion at least in my eyes is not enugh , iwould expect some thing like more charter slots for exapmle. also with the bad announcment last week , me as a vetern start to wonder how much the devs really cares for there player base , or they just want to expand and drive new players even in the cost of loosing veterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had years to play it..thats what you paid for. Do you expect stores to give you a discount because you bought something at full price 6 months ago, that's now on offer?

SlateSloan.3654 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 if i compare the veteran voucher and glider with the fact that new players or pof-only-veterans now get a complete expansion for free the veteran voucher and glider is a hit in the face for all who supported the game with their money in the past. good i decided to not buy anything from arenanet anymore. works since some month now and will stay that way. enough is enough, i have no time see them fooling around anymore.

Super Hayes.6890 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 So they should refund it to everyone who ever purchased it since they are giving it away now? How do they stay in business if they give back all the money they made? We paid for what we got which was the ability to enjoy that content long before people who gain access to it now. It is literally impossible for new players to purchase the years of gameplay we already have. Anything given to us is icing and frankly unecessary. They show their appreciation to us by developing the game further, which they are. Oh yeah, we are also getting the new content they announced for FREE .> @"SlateSloan.3654" said: > if i compare the veteran voucher and glider with the fact that new players or pof-only-veterans now get a complete expansion for free the veteran voucher and glider is a hit in the face for all who supported the game with their money in the past. > > good i decided to not buy anything from arenanet anymore. works since some month now and will stay that way. > enough is enough, i have no time see them fooling around anymore.

ButcherofMalakir.4067 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I didnt have any of those skins and 2 of them are quite nice. Not sure which one to chose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithril Ashwalker.6230 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 personally, it was rubbish choices. i figured i could choose an armor skin/set based on what was in the guaranteed wardrobe selection, not the most cheapest most owned skins. half-arsed tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Suggestion: Don't purchase any other paid content when it releases; wait years for it to become free. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDAC.2137 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 It’s very normal for content to eventually go on sale, even included free with something else at some point. I bought HoT shortly after I started playing late in 2016 and bought PoF on pre-release and I don’t regret it one bit. Those of you claiming it’s a “smack in the face” or other such nonsense were probably unhappy with the expansion or game in general to say that. I mean, how much have you played the HoT and LWS3 maps themselves as well as used gliding, the elite specs and wardrobe and stat unlocks since you bought it? Probably a lot of fun times you participated in with guild, friends, etc. that you would not have if you’d looked in your crystal ball and decided to wait on getting the expansions until they were offered as a package deal. I think it’s quite nice that we got a thank you and thinking that you are somehow owed a refund is just ridiculous. I do see OP’s point, however, and it would be nice if there were some different options for those with all those skins unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Franz.4972 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I just received my "Heart of Thorns Veteran’s Package" and it is pice of ****. Bunch of ugliest item in game I will never use. Even small amount of gems would be better, like 500, or select of existing game store items not some garbage no one buy from what I see. I was already dissatisfied with recent GW2 development and it just annoyed me more. I could understand making base game free but doing it witch expansions is not fair to ppl who bought it. My conclusion is simple. Its not worth spending money on this game, even expansions only at half price, MAYBE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hayes.6890 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 > i did not say i want everyone to get the cash back. just the items we got while others get a full price expansion for free are a joke. > 1k gems would have been fair enough we could choose ourselves an item from the gemstore then and im sure alot players would even convert it into gold for buying ingame stuff. people would maybe even buy another 1k gems to get something for 2k from the store then... would not hurt anyone. > > instead they gave us the cheapest kitten again and hoped we dont realise the unequal worth in comparison to what non hot buyers now get. > put it yourself infront your eyes - people not buying and full supporting the game get now rewarded for doing so... i payed in the past for leechers to get it for free now... > > nice and very grateful for all the support of the last years... screw it. I do like your suggestion about gems. I'm not irked by the freebies we got though. To be fair, I did get a skin I wanted out of this. Also, my youngest will now be getting the expansions. I couldn't justify the expense before but the price is in a perfect place for me to upgrade his free account now. I guess I'm just in a completely different place with this as I've been able to get two more of my friends playing under these circumstances. I'm all for moves that bring more players into our game. Free stuff is just a bonus for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSlay.6973 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Don't forget you also got all the living seasons for free because you owned the game longer. Those that purchase the game now, still have to spend more to get each season. And gems are stupidly expensive. A single season costs more than the entire expansion costs. Buying all the seasons costs more than both expansions. Even that glider we got is like $10 in gems somehow. The Gem store is clearly aimed at oil barons with gambling issues. We should be grateful we got anything for free at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP didn't receive the same bonus as others did, even though the OP likely spent more real money. I think it's reasonable to ask ANet if they took this into account or not. > > **** > ANet offered a "gift" to players as a thank you for having spent real money on Heart of Thorns back in the day. The so-called "Heart of Thorns Veteran’s Package" includes three things of value: > * A Title (which might or might not be "valuable" to everyone) > * An exclusive glider skin (assuming it isn't eventually added to a wardrobe unlock) > * A choice of items exclusive to the Gem Shop or various contests, that can also be obtained via a Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock. > > Unfortunately, for those who spent a lot on gems (and especially on BL keys), that last item has no value because they already have all the skins unlocked. I think it's a fair question to ask if ANet realized this might happen. > > I think it would be fair for ANet to decide that the title and glider skin are sufficient, and I hope that the OP (and others) would be able to see that. I also think it would have been better if ANet had thought this through ahead of time and either explicitly said, "sorry, we can't offer a third item for some people" or (better imo) arranged for some token substitute. > > After all, the entire point of the "Veteran's Package" is to recognize veterans for sticking with the game so long and skimping on one third of the "recognition" _feels_ like a lack of recognition. Correction, I usually agree with you, but I has one who has spent money on BLCKeys and unlocked a lot through them I only had 3 of those skins in the Armor pack unlocked already, whether or not they're good or bad is beside the point, they're free, so why complain about something free, even if you already have it?

We should be grateful we got anything for free at all. For brand new players, this is true. For anyone else - Play4Free players, or Core-only players - they unlocked the Episodes at no cost at the time, and now have access to them. Of course, unlike Expansions, this content can be acquired at no real money cost with the Gold-to-Gems exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
