Feedback 2022/06/08[edit]

Seems like certain accounts are chosen that gain extra exp through leveling up also get the raptor immediately upon consuming the level 80 boost if they have the EoD expansion.

Trial Raptor for Free to Play players Aug 2022[edit]

I have a question. I have noticed that free players can now get a 10 hour trial with a raptor of their own but there is no much information on this at all. For example, no where does it say that only one of their 2 character limit gets to try out that raptor. Also no where does it say anything about people who have had the FULL Paid Base (Core) GW2 game but no expansions getting a trial raptor. However I have noticed that players who ONLY have Heart of Thorns and not Path of Fire or End of Dragons expansion did get the same message as our unknown poster in the previous discussion on this page showed. I have been looking for this info and cannot find it on Wiki. I will look on Anet's site next. --KatieBoom (talk) 22:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

That information was already in the article.
Free to Play characters only get the raptor once. Doesn't matter how many characters you made or had.
Players with the full base game have the same raptor restrictions as free to play characters, because the raptor is expansion content.
It doesn't matter what expansion you have, having at least one will get you the raptor. But you need PoF to unlock the raptor masteries. Warming Hearth (talk) 22:05, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Reading I realized it would be the next 10th level which was level 20 and verified got the trial raptor now.
The situation was one of the characters were level 14 while the other was level 3. (Level 3 not 10 yet and 14 was not 20 yet).
Thank you for helping me understand what was going on in this regard.
Also just now (2 days later) I noticed that people with FULL CORE account (no expansions but not Free Players) also get a 10 Hour

Yes, all of this was in the patch notes. ~Sime 18:56, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Exploit[edit]

I stumbled upon an exploit where you can just keep making new character or have 1 in reserve as a pawn for leveling up to 10 and get "permanent" raptor trials if you do it over and over again. It seems like it is intended because I sent an email to arenanet but they didn't respond to it. Should I add it to the wiki page of raptor in trivia?

I am not honestly certain this is an exploit, but in a case it was, the wiki absolutely does not document those. ~Sime 18:07, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Its not a real exploit where you get so much out of it but it can be exploited with a little bit of effort and get raptor indefinitely without expansions. But yeah, can totally understand why wiki wouldn't that to be here regardless.
