How you ask? Take a look at Great Dwarf Armor and Light of Deldrimor. You'll notice that the only way to get these skills is from quests, quests that were available in the preview weekend. I have already done these quests, so there is no known way currently for me to get these skills. I am not very happy about this situation, and would like to see something done about it.

I'm sure those skills will be added in a future update fairly soon.

Instead of complaining. Why dont you report that this detail has been overlooked?

Ohh dude, that's effing bs. I did those quests but the skills I got were COMPLETELY different. I got Breath of the Great Dwarf instead of Light of Deldrimor and Black Powder mine ONLY. But when doing these quests NOW, you get a total of FOUR skills. That means I've been royally screwed and now I can't get those 2 skills unless ANET fixes it .

EDITED: Read the Op's post wrong. Yea... basically I'm in the same situation as him

And typically, when I do a bug report, they ask me a million questions and keep making me send dxdiags and all sorts of stupid information when the bug is NOT on my end... so yeah, posting on fansites>>>>>>>>support.

I really don't think ANET is gonna look over EOTN for bugs. You should put this where bug threads belong.. or riverside.

That doesn't mean it has to be a complaint and you telling everyone that Arenanet is ripping you off when you put it on the fansite. In fact, that's the worst thing you could do - it's the sort of thread that they are going to avoid reading.

We are definitely looking into this and will get that sorted out as soon as possible.

Thanks for pointing it out!

Another screw-over discovered! i don't mind redoing them, they were fun, and as a "leader of the pack" i'll end redoing them a lot for my guildies anyway

I noticed the missing quests/dungeons in the hero/dungeon books earlier too. I hope that's being looked in to as well. It might've been my imagination but I thought it showed up before. Two (listed) updates later none of my norn quests or the three dungeons I did showed up. I can't be sure because I logged on briefly before going out and logged back on hours after to update.

Thanks for pointing it out! Hooray! Thank you Gaile. Someone in the bugs forum said that Snow Storm is unobtainable for the same reason. And I have no idea about Great Dwarf Weapon, as neither Guildwiki or the Official GW Wiki know how you get it.

EDIT: I have just found that Great Dwarf Weapon is not obtainable either because it requires Big Unfriendly Jotun.

Bumping this thread since I have all three problems:
1) Can't get Snowstorm, Great Dwarven Armor/Weapon
2) Don't have entries for the Primary Quests I did during the Preview
3) Don't have entries for the dungeons I did during the Preview

If these could be fixed, I'd be a very happy bunny and it'd safe me considerable time

Thanks for pointing it out! Living proof that posting bugs on forums is worthwhile.

So to those you say go post a support ticket. <censored>

why do you think they were repeatable? cause they were not recordable... period... As to the skills. true they are not currently obtainable on other characters... but the ones that played the preview has them... Gaile said its been noted and will be addressed. prob with new quests to fix the problem. Either that or the people that have it now will loose it which will also be a appropriate solution. Either way its a PvE skill so it should not matter towards game balance overall. If it comes from a different quest then original so be it... Heck even if its just a exclusive skill just for preview thats OK too.. So 1 character has it instead of all of them. So what? Its not like there is not a multitude of them... and for the record I dont have them all so I am not acting like I got mine so I dont care...
