Skills Bought off of SKill Unlock Pack Relocked?! - Guild Wars Forums

Knight of Balthazer · Jun 06, 2009, 03:50 PM // 15:50

Hello, A Loooooonnnngggg time ago, when i was very active in Guild Wars, i bought like the very first skill unlock pack for nightfall, it was rather expensive, i think like $49.99 or something crazy.

but its purpose was to unlock all the core skills and nightfall skills if im not mistaken, but at first it was all great. It worked out good and i had fun using all these new skills for my pvp character. But as i kept playing, Some the skills, not all seemed to being getting relocked.

ive searched the web to see if anyone else has had this problem with their skill unlock packs. and ive came back to playing guild wars after a very long while, and their is even more that have been relocked!!!

i don't know what caused this, but i know for a fact that they have been RELOCKED, after i PURCHASED them, which makes me very, very angry. I was looking foward to buying the unlock packs for the other campaigns also, But how can i trust that they will stay unlocked?

(i like $9.99 for each one sooooooooo much better) i was just wondering if anyone knows what has happened has heard of this or anything useful for me to know.

Thanks in Advance,
Knight of Balthazer

Can you post a screen of said locked skills?

Have you tried to contact support? If you bought the unlock pack then there should be a record of it.

If you really did purchase a skill unlock pack (which I doubt, because I can't recall the packs being $49.99, but then again I could be... wrong) and the skills indeed got relocked (are you sure they're Nightfall skills?) I suggest you contact Guild Wars Support. We can't do anything for you besides guessing. :-)

I think the starting price for the packs was 9.99, not sure where you got 49.99 from. That would be insane for unlocking skills.

Knight of Balthazer · Jun 06, 2009, 07:15 PM // 19:15

Yeah... idk what they were it may of been the total buggy things worth it was 1-2 years ago... it wld be insane lol and yeah thanks guys... but they did gradually go back to being locked which i thought was really really weird... thanks guys

If it was 49.99 there is a good chance that you bought the nightfall campaign and not the skill unlock pack for it.

Back when they first came out, they were $39.99 each. I would remember, cause I made the horrible mistake of buying 2, one of which went towards the BMP (which was later released for a measly $10). And then they were dropped to $10 each. Colossal waste of money.

HA! $39.99! so im not crazy lol ill see if i have a screen shot... idk tho... do they keep record of it anywhere like on your guild wars account?

notskorn · Jun 06, 2009, 08:59 PM // 20:59

On the character screen click edit account then manage access keys. It should say everything attached to your account.

BrettM · Jun 06, 2009, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Campaign unlock packs do not include core skills. For those you have to buy the core skill pack. So, if you were expecting the NF pack to unlock core skills, perhaps you are seeing the locked core skills and thinking they somehow got "relocked"?

Knight of Balthazer · Jun 07, 2009, 10:37 AM // 10:37

idk... i could of swore they did when they first came out... but yeah I know for a fact all my nightfall skills were unlocked and now there locked again.

Manage access keys says i have 4 extra slots and a pvp unlock coupon...

GODh · Jun 07, 2009, 06:42 PM // 18:42

See if you heroes can use those skills... unlocking a skill doesnt mean that your pve chars can use those skills right away (but your heroes and pvp-only chars can).

If you want to use unlocked skills on a pve char then buy them from skilltrainers or use tomes (cheaper).
