So not only are Steam users unable to either apply a code from a retail copy of Heavensward (Limited edition or otherwise), or change their steam account to a regular non-steam account so they may do so - we are still unable to even preorder it via steam.
When will we be able to? Will we be able to? How close is it going to cut it? If we are unable to preorder the expansion for whatever stupid reason will you give us the preorder items anyway?
What is going on?

We're going to be able to preorder before early access as they stated several times. Even if it's one day before it, why does it matter?

05-21-2015, 10:12 PMColorfulI don't know if you've played any other MMO before, but the expansion pack content is downloaded regardless if you've purchased the expansion or not. Everyone gets access to the patch at the same time.Quote:

Calm down and learn some patience.

05-21-2015, 10:22 PMAlberelJust to clarify this: you will have to patch the expansion to your client whether you bought it or not as you will need those files to be able to see and interact with any players that are using the new race, jobs, equipment or skills, among other things.Quote:

The only question at present is the DX11 client, which they've stated will be an entirely separate client... no one has any clue when that will be released yet, though hopefully a week or so prior to launch. -
