An update regarding purchasing the Janthir Wilds Expedition Contract: Only one Janthir Wilds Expedition Contract can be applied to your account. There is an unfortunate limitation on our ability to hide these Contracts if you acquired them through a Supply Drop, which is why they're visible to players who already have one from there. If you already have one from the Supply Drop and purchased the standalone Contract, please contact Support and they can help you. Apologies for the confusion!

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that could cause a player's Handiworker crafting level to not raise as intended when training the Homesteading Mastery track. Some players may see a one-time notification of their Handiworker crafting level increasing even if this fix doesn't impact their level.

Hey there! I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. If you could please submit a ticket to our support team they will be able to look into this issue for you. You can reach them here: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

@willow.8209 I can! Tuesday's popup did not indicate a change to the User Agreement, there was an error that caused it to show up in the launcher. As the email mentioned, the updated Privacy Policy will take effect on October 8--it is not in effect now. When it does take effect next month, there will be a new popup in the launcher.

Hi, everyone, Welcome to the preview for the October 8 balance update! We're only a few weeks past the release of Janthir Wilds, so this update will be a bit smaller as we continue to watch and evaluate the impact of the new spears and relics. As always, the goal of previewing these changes is to gather your feedback before the live release. We'll be following the conversation and making further adjustments as needed. Thanks, Cal "cmc" Cohen Skills and Balance Lead General The Celestial attribute combination has been exceptionally powerful in WvW since the addition of concentration and expertise, and it's something that we've been monitoring for some time. With this update, we're introducing the tech to adjust equipment's attribute distribution and the amount of attributes it provides on a per game–mode basis. The first use of this will be to remove both concentration and expertise from equipment with Celestial attributes in WvW only, to bring it back in l... Read more

The summoning worked! Or it will work shortly! Notes incoming in the next few minutes or so. Edit: Ta da!

Thank you for the additional information, everyone, it was very helpful! We've found the cause of the issue and are working on a fix. We're getting it finished and tested and plan to have the fix to you early next week. Thanks again to all of you for the information you shared!

Hey all, a quick update on this: It doesn't indicate a change in the User Agreement, there was an error that caused it to pop up in the launcher. Sorry about the confusion!

Quick update: We're investigating this and it would be helpful to know a little more about the timing. Those of you who are affected by this issue (If you did not already share this information in your post): Did you train up the mastery tier and run into this issue after the September 10 game update, or did you have it trained up before and it broke with the game update?

I passed this on to the team and will update you if and when I get more info!

Bug Fixes: Enemies no longer attack feast gadgets Devastator: Fixed an issue that prevented this skill from going on full cooldown when interrupted.

Bug Fixes: Fixed a client crash that occurred when entering someone's homestead. Fixed an issue that caused the Mortal Contest effect to reduce more healing than intended in the Push PvP mode.

Hello all, I just wanted to let you know that I looked into this. We're aware and investigating the cause so we can get it fixed--sorry this is happening!

Hello all, one more quick update! If you attended the event, we've got a few hundred pics uploaded now--check them out here. Thanks to our event photographers Jesse and Sarah for all the pictures of the evening!

I'm going to leave this thread open for now because there is some solid constructive criticism and good discussion here and there, and I'd like that to continue. As always: What's enjoyable is highly subjective based on the individual, discuss the ideas rather than attacking the person, and if you can't do that make use of the ignore function.

I have been talking with people about this question since we heard from some players who own Heart of Thorns but not Path of Fire. We mentioned previously that either Heart of Thorns or Path of Fire would allow access to the warclaw mount in WvW, as those expansions are bundled together. After hearing from those players who own Heart of Thorns but not Path of Fire, we need to clarify that unlocking the warclaw mount in WvW specifically requires Path of Fire. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
