Weird. Hopefully a fixable oversight, especially considering the 50% off sale has definitely brought in new players wanting to try out season 2.
I really hope they fix that for new players, I don't understand why considering the Bazaar upscaled people.
The new zone is amazing. And PSA, there is a whole set of achievements just for the new zone. Including a treasure hunt for 'Lost Coins' and a jumping puzzle.
They've said officially that Season 2 is for when you reach level 80:

Alright. My mistake.
Nah I don't think its a big deal. Plus as long as you log in, you'll unlock the content for later anyway.

Yeah, I deleted the whole .dat file and downloaded everything from scratch again. It works perfectly now.
Thanks. I definitely played too much though XD
I'll probably wait until tomorrow to try the new patch.
Will this be a 2 weeks event like usual?
People aren't going to like that gate though. We're not overly entitled and all that these days, right?
It's a tough one. On one hand, so much content is open and scales. On the other hand, you need SOMETHING to work towards, right?
it definitely seems like a step backwards, but I'm actually talking to peck about it right now and there were some ideas and concerns I hadn't really considered. I hope they'll listen to feedback on the issue, though, and consider some mitigating factors if there is a lot of demand from new players to be able to play LW releases to some degree as they happen. I can think of a few approaches that make it easier while not compromising their vision for the Living World as endgame.
Braxzy, for stuff like the Bazaar, Crown Pavilion, and holidays, I'm quite certain you'd still be upleveled.

Based on some conversations in the guild mumble last night, I'm wondering if the way Season 2 is being implemented adds a few things that were talked about:
With these 'Elite Achievements', you can do the content over and over and try to get skill achievements. These events also scale with group. Seems like some nice compromise for end-game type of progression/skill that some folks are looking for.
Edit: Even in their 'Season 2 is Live' e-mail, they mention level 80 only

Oh my. Marjory's sister has a new katana skin. Will be a definite get if it gets put in the store considering the shadow assassin outfit.
Edit: Oh the outfit even has a bow on the back!

Really I think there should have been a mix. Give all those new people from the sale something to do while still making the bulk of it for 80's.
While I'm thinking of it, is the unlock per account or per character? Really don't wanna have to log in all my toons to make sure they have it. Even all my 80's would be kinda annoying.
I feel like they did it for multiple reasons. One, they don't have to design for the lowest common denominator. Two, even if you're not level 80, logging on during the event you should unlock the content for free for when you actually do get to level 80. Three, they can use "endgame" as a buzzword for future GW2 PR.

LA chat was filled with folks claiming it was unfair that they had to be 80 to do it. The response by a lot of folks was 'oh noes, you'll actually have to level your character'.
I'm sure we'll still have some world content that is 1-79, same as always, but I see no issues having the new story stuff be 80+. After all, it takes place post PS, and that takes you from 1-80. Even unlocking the traits now will get you 1-80 pretty quickly.
Nice. That means I won't have to spend the entire two weeks logging in toons for the unlock.
Nope just keep leveling!

Not only that, but the content isn't going anywhere. Anyone who's just starting out, this is the part where I tell you that it's all about the journey, not the destination, and to take your time and smell the roses as you level rather than rushing as quickly as possible. There is no "End Game" you are missing out on forever, all of this stuff will be waiting. Enjoy the finely crafted world they've made, it's absolutely one of the best in gaming, full stop.

This demands a power rangers parody squad formed for PVP.
Still worth it for newcomers. Season 2 just started as well so you'll have excitement everywhere too. It's more about the stuff to find than the stuff you missed in this game is all.
Yeah you're gonna wanna go ahead and buy it. Join the guild as soon as you get your character made

Has ANET acknowledged this story unlock issue?
Pretty sure Peck mentioned it earlier.
yeah, it's not very widespread but it is acknowledged: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/bugs/Season-2-Locked
So during the last instance, right when you've done enough for completion and can leave, Taimi will find one last thing you can interact with. A hologram recorder, which details and ties up lingering loose ends about the Steam creatures. Make sure to watch it until it deactivates itself, and possibly be disappointed.
ITS AHMAZING
whoa, missed that. Taimi had a unique line for me as an asura though, I dug it
