Bad us

Oh well good for those dealing with the CE but it seems odd my crime is getting into the game as soon as I can, and another interesting opportunity lost.

False I'm a hard core fan. I have 2 accounts, and I have 1 regular edition account and 1 CE account. I was able to play in cantha on the regular account while waiting on the CE to add to my Prophecies account. I did not like it since the CE is my primary account, but so be it. I paid extra to wait, you had that choice also but chose not to. GW has a history of doing this with the special editions, so it isnt like they havent done it before.

Everyone you had a choice, you decided to choose your path. always choose wisely.

what about the players who stayed up till midnight and only found out they missed the emperor cuz he was early? the people who deleted their characters a day before you implemented the bday gift to make new faction characters? the people who supported you guys and bought the game on the first day it came out?

not a flame but a serious thought.

isnt it likely someone at the last minute came up with the birthday idea just before the first anniversary and everybody went wow lets do it.

as for the CE there would not be the extra if there hadnt been the delay.

so if they did not know it themselves until recently there would always be a group of people who just rerolled.

i only got 1 bday present on 2 accounts and the earliest i can get another is about 6 months from now

ah well....never mind then....
(maybe ignis is a popular name round norway ^^)

grr...everyone else going on about their pets, im wanting one and i still got a month to go...

(oh, and i wouldnt bet that these dragons will be selling fast and high....i mean, if each CE account character gets one in 10 days time....well i would be geting 6 of them.....however, if they WERE tied to the birthday 12 month thing....then in 12 months time i would be getting 4 of them (providing i didnt whipe the 4 factions characters i have) even if its IS 12 month thing, im still going to be getting 2 IF its character based and not account based....)

ok.. to clear out some of the myth.

Galie said this dragon is for COLLECTOR EDITION players only. Meaning that 10 days after you get the CE, you should receive this pet (if not, something weird is going on) Also the pet can be traded, and exchange for other mini pets. But the thing is, there WILL be demands for these. Since its new and depending on how cool it moves and look. I disagree with you that it will be slow to trade away. I mean think about this faction, you got 4 (or 2) factions characters and you just saw those sweet looking 15k armors. Wouldn't you trade away your special pets for ton of golds and materials. Instead of keeping it and show off to friends or unknown peoples. Also like Galie said, you only get ONE (uno) dragon mini pet. Meaning that you don't get 4 on all the factions characters that you made. So it make the value even higher for those who own CE.

birthday mini = 1 per character who is 1 year old.
CE mini = 1 per CE account only

EternalTempest · May 04, 2006, 06:39 PM // 18:39

As a C2 CE owner ... or will be (still waiting should be tommrow, other will have to wait till next month..) a were sorry so here is this cute dragon you can have a as a pet made me feel better.

Drooling over $$$$ as to how much was worth was not in my mind when they announce it and it's MY pet dragon, I have zero plans to sell this thing.

I wonder if he will play with my 1yr old ele's Char..

To Anet, thank you for rewarding me for waiting and being stuck in C1 all this time.

vinegrower · May 04, 2006, 06:44 PM // 18:44

I seem to be one of the few people not bothered by the fact that the CE was delayed. It will be 6 months before the next chapter, so I have more than enough time to get my money's worth out of it.

Ps I'll sell my Dragon to anyone that wants it. I don't have any use for it, but could use some cash.

unclepunchy · May 04, 2006, 06:46 PM // 18:46

Ive got a question - I got my CE on release date (London ftw :P). Do I still get the cool dragon pet?

kaya · May 04, 2006, 06:57 PM // 18:57

i'm not quite sure, but i think this is what it'll look like.

Sir Skullcrasher · May 04, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

If the dragon is that big.. imagine all the reaction that you will get.

kaya · May 04, 2006, 07:06 PM // 19:06

lol probably just as much negative reaction, with the obstructed views.

*your dragons so fat when God said let there be light, he had to move*

Yes, everyone who own's a CE of C2 will get it but it will take 10 days for them to implement it. It will show up when you create a new chacter and can only get 1 per GW Account (not character).

lol, I can already imagine the responses, "omfg, ur ph00k1ng stoopid drag0n is bl0cking the way!!!11"

*your dragon is so fat, peasants in Cantha can see his fat ass up in Tyria."

Reiden Argrock · May 04, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42

all I can say, is I'm really frustrated I wasn't able to play factions the past few days, but A-Net has more than made up for it. I only wish that mini pets were not tradeable, if people don't want them, they should be able to get rid of them, but they are collector's items, they shouldn't be quick ways of becoming rich.

By allowing them to be traded, I get the impression, and this is on my own, i'm sure A-net is not thinking this, but "hey, you've been playing a year, you deserve 400k..... thats they highest i've seen them go for" I'm sure with Kuunavang, price willl go up as well. This is rediculous.

I do hope I get a t-shirt though.. always wanted one of those

ok. it says something different on the site i visited.

Factions Collector’s Edition Gift

Factions CE buyers, we have great news! Yesterday afternoon, to show our appreciation for your support and patience as you wait for your CE to arrive, we decided to create a special Collector's Edition Thank You Gift. If you purchase the CE and activate your access key prior to 11:59 p.m. PDT on May 31st, you will receive an in-game gift box containing a miniature of the dragon Kuunavang! Double click the box to reveal your miniature dragon. The gift will be one per account and will function like a Birthday Miniature. That is, they will be tradable, sellable (for in-game currency only!), or exchangeable between your characters. You will find your gift on the first character you bring into the game after we implement this feature. We anticipate we will have these gifts ready within the next 10 days. And don't worry – all who activate a CE before the May 31st deadline will receive a Thank You Gift!

just so you know. there is a deadline!
