Or do all these hero skill trainers simply have all the skills available and you buy it from them?

Well, the blurb reads "Immediately use these unlocked skills for your Heroes and PvP characters" - which seems pretty clear and I always took it that unlocked skills were automatically available to heroes, but I must confess I'm not 100% certain.

All pretty useless stuff for PvE'ers....maybe they can start selling personal storage for chars in their HoM. I'd buy that.

yeah.. but it's just one more slap in the face from Anet and PlayNC... You know it would actually be a better deal to add the unlocks to my primary and add two character slots?

Thanks for the reply. You're right, at face value it does seem pretty clear, but in this game you never know. Often things in game say one thing, but actually mean another, so I just thought I'd double check.

Unlocked skills are available to your heros immediately, I guess this is basically stating that you don't have to buy/earn skills in game that you can buy the pack, log in and your heros will have all the skills from said campaigns.

The part that isn't highlighted is that you "Must" buy the PvP kit even if you already own a guild wars campaign... so in one way or another you are paying for a % of those skills twice, and the actual kit is $19.99 currently.

Oh, what? You mean, even if I already own ALL the campaigns and GWEN, I can't access the skills unless I've bought the PvP unlock pack? Where did it state that???

Why would I buy a PvP unlock pack when I can already access all areas?

In order to buy an "unlock pack" You need either the corresponding campaign or the "pvp access kit". Since you own all campaigns, you can directly buy any "unlock pack" that you want (you have no need for the "pvp access kit"). The "unlock pack" will do exactly as if you had used balthazar faction points to unlock all skills from a specific campaign or as if you had bought/captured all skills from a specific campaign with a pve caracter then deleted that caracter.

Can anyone tell me what are the skills that are unlockable (not unlocked) through the "pvp access kit" without any unlock pack or campaign?

Only core? (I doubt it since it is stated that you can play with all 10 professions)
All but GWEN?
All?

Does the "pvp access kit" add a caracter slot when you already own a campaign? (I figure it must give you at least one caracter slot when you don't own any campaign since it states that you can play without buying anything else than the "pvp access kit").

I ponied up for the core skills unlock pack. Mostly it was 5 bucks for my heroes to have access to all core skills (incl elites). I can find/earn/cap mine, but it's nice to be able to give some heroes (classes you don't play), a full skill bar.

I look at it as a bump for the casual players like me.

I already own the Nightfall pack from the $40 price set (which by the way PlayNC is breaking their user agreement by changing the price with out notice 30days in advance.)

if you want to figure this stuff out for yourselves just log into the store, it will tell you what you have and what you must buy in order to get what you want.

Well I own prophecies, faction and nightfall, and the only pack I can't buy is EoTN pack.
You can't buy the faction pack beacause you don't own faction. I didn't put the word "corresponding" in bold for nothing

maybe you've tried on the day this beacame available and there was some glitch but it works fine now.
