Would be nice to get an official answer to this sometime soon. Was going to order the CE + Prerelease pack combo, but not sure I want the CE yet. Well prerelease pack is out now in stores, so first opportunity missed.

The earlier you preorder for many places the better likelyhood you are to be in the first shipment in case they don't have enough stock for all orders. Not knowing the answer to this is potentially delaying the arrival of the game for some people.

I will only get the CE if it includes an ingame emote or dance or something special. All the extra stuff in the box isn't that important to me, I want something to enjoy in game. The stuff in the box is just bonus on top of that.

Anet's not going to stroll in here and tell us. I'd say in all likely hood; we wont know for sure until someone gets their CE box and tells us. Or maybe Anet will update the "and more" section of the contents list a week before it goes live.

You realize of course that the prerelease pack is NOT a preorder pack right? It's a separate retail/bonus pack so it was never meant to be "combo'd" with the CE box. So basically you walk into the store and ask for it, pay your money, and you get it. No fuss no muss no putting down a deposite to reserve your copy of CE. I just bought my bonus pack for $5. So basically, all you had to do was walk into a store a buy it if you wanted it. If you didn't, well that'd be your own fault for the missed opportunity

I was asking Gaile, when she was in Shing Jae two days ago, and she just told me that content of CE that she know will be box, soundtrack etc... and when i asked about CE emotes, she said, that all she know about emotes (in general) is, that Paragorn and Dervish will be given new emotes...

hope they will inform us about CE emotes soon...

Here in America you are right, but in Germany (may be whole Europe?) nearly every store handle it like a pre-order box.

It seems to be always something with Anet: the Factions CE debacle, and now the lack of info on a new dance emote for NF. I'm with Cherno on this. If there's no dance emote, I'm not buying the CE. IMO, they're shooting themselves in the foot by not answering the question.

Customers want info, not vague hints.

Calan The Powerful · Sep 15, 2006, 09:44 PM // 21:44

do you know if anyone capped gaile saying that?

youd think ANet'd LEAST be like "yadda yadda, special emote mystery, but yes special emote, buy plz"

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 15, 2006, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Try looking through GWO; they seem to get most Gaile chat's logged.

This is the only remotely relevant statement I could find from the latest Gaile chat:

and for anyone worried about the Factions fiasco repeating itself:

Yeah, I know they are, that's why I listed them as two things. EB has a combo offer that you can do the preorder and the pack or the CE and the pack. I wanted to do that before the packs became available and would receive the pack early and the other items on shipping release.

But now that the packs are in stores, no need to do that since I can get them at the store if I can find it in town (unlikely). You didn't understand what I wrote.

Former Ruling · Sep 16, 2006, 06:11 AM // 06:11

I agree that the extra content would probably retail for over the 20 bucks you'll be paying for it. Skill Pins alone are probably MSRP of like 5 bucks each, and in today's day and age you can expect to spend 20 bucks just for a 124 page book..

But what it boils down to is people dont want "crap" to clutter their room 90% of the time...They want INGAME proof that they spent the 20 bucks so they can have emotes and such the "scrubs" dont have.

lauriepriest · Sep 16, 2006, 08:43 AM // 08:43

Art book and badges! i want to nerd up my room even more

mega_jamie · Sep 16, 2006, 10:23 AM // 10:23

Former Ruling said it, my Canthan map got used infrequently if at all, and only when Factions first came out. Now unless some uber announcement of ingame feature is made for the CE I won't be buying it, hell even the novelty of the dances are wearing off now, SE for me this time I think.
