Heyo!
So a few members of my FC (myself included) have been contacting SE about Heavensward's CE for Steam.
The support representative said that the CE will work for steam accounts. The representative also mentioned something about our accounts getting upgraded.
Just wanted to post and see if we can get an official confirmation from any of the community managers or devs and see if this is true.
Cause if it is, it would be VERY VERY awesome and I would jump on the CE preorders right away if it did! Also would end the grumblings that most of us have about not being able to use the code in the CE box...
Thanks!

I've been to the twitter, I saw the steam posts from the links above.
I'm just wondering if the response is different now that we have multiple SE customer service people on the boat that "The Collecter's Edition will be able to work with a Steam-based account"
Multiple.
One guy called twice. Another a few times as well.
Again, all I want is a clarification and the chance at getting physical items without spending approximately $250 dollars to try and level up myself to about 4 level 50 classes again. -

Hello guys! (And hi Raih!) Yeah, I was that person that called twice (and emailed once just to be super sure) and all 3 said something about the account changing. They said that compatibility issues would not occur between Steam and the PC version of the current preorder item. Like I said, they've said it three times (and within those 3 contacts, I asked and reasked just to make sure they were SURE). They assured me it would NOT be a problem.
Do with this what you will, but you can test it out and call customer service yourselves. I'm not kidding :/ -

Must I repeat myself multiple times?
I've seen every post on this, I dont need relinks i need a new confirmation >.>
Since this directly involves SE reliability, I hope we get true confirmation soon.
This is the best way to phrase the current question ;DQuote:

@OP; I hope that a community manager answers your question so that you may have the clarification that is being seeked. :)

So a PC expansion bought from a store will not be compatible? If so then does that meant there's no way a steam user can buy the awesomelicious physical CE and play on steam? Why not just give an option to trade in your CE key for a steam key?

The difficulties in getting all these different versions of the same game to act in the same way is mind-boggling. Maybe I'm getting old, but I miss the days when you bought a game and it JUST WORKED.
You know ... back when umm ... Yeah okay, games never really worked that way, but this is kinda ridiculous all the same. -
03-18-2015, 10:30 PMYMeAgainEssentially, yes. According to the Community Manager, the physical CE will NOT be compatible with Steam. In addition, there seems to be no way that a Steam user can purchase a physical CE anyways, leaving us out of the loop on the dragon, artbook, and blu-ray.Quote:
