Curse

I've used the shield for so long I'd forgotten it was a bonus item. A simple lapse of memory.

WOO! Thanks for giving us the sword today. I was really looking forward to it and NOW WE HAVE IT!

With the sword... It seems like you can add pommels but not hilts. Is that right? Why one and not the other?

I think it has one of those as a permanent mod already, something about Icy?
Isn't that how most of the bonus weapons are?

They just updated these /bonus weapons. You can add the mod component that is lacking on the item. You cannot replace it. It's supposed to do cold dmg so you cant throw a 20/20 on it, but you can throw on a +5 armor.

And you cannot change its inscription/inherent mod its 15% enchanted etc.

If you add a mod to the weapon, you cant salvage it off it.

Thanks for the info.

When you say "these", do you mean only the new ones, or are all Bonus weapons fixed now?

If nothing else, presearing warriors just received the best anti-Charr weapon they've ever seen.

Sciros Darkblade · Jul 22, 2007, 12:46 AM // 00:46

The Glacial Blade is too small or set wrong as far as grip goes. My warrior's hand is AT THE HILT rather than the handle and goes through it rather than holding on. Looks really ghetto and I hope ANet fixes the way it sits, however they do that.
Right now it's like this:

It probably ought to look like this:

HKSdivision · Jul 22, 2007, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Considering you're wearing the gigantic Primeval gauntlets of course it'll look odd. The Glacial Blade looks fine with other gauntlets.

Sciros Darkblade · Jul 22, 2007, 02:51 AM // 02:51

My *arms* haven't gotten any longer, heh. The actual grip (maybe I should've used a different angle) is off. Perhaps I'll demonstrate with bare hands...

Mystic Cobra · Jul 22, 2007, 03:30 AM // 03:30

I got the same problem.

Seissor · Jul 22, 2007, 04:04 AM // 04:04

I got a worse problem! I own NF, Factions and GW and I got the pre-release pack from the online store. And now after 4 hours of sitting in my guild hall on a NF character I get a message.

"You have 10 hours remaining for your NF trial"

WHAT!? I own Nightfall!

Is this warning just a technicality or is it bad?

I submitted this question to ANET as well.

EDIT: The timer counts down and nothing bad happens, its just a technicality. Phew.

Jeff Highwind · Jul 22, 2007, 04:22 AM // 04:22

That's normal Seissor, about 10 hours ago I got the 30 second warning adn I still got my nf skills and can traverse Elona.

It's just a small glitch.

Roo Ella · Jul 22, 2007, 08:55 AM // 08:55

lol Just got the same message trial finished but still playing
SOOOOO
those that already had the 3 campaigns actually didn't get the full pre-release pack bonus.
Not that i'm complaining the weapons are great and preview is gonna be great but
Pity we couldn't have just got the keys to give them away to friends
and get then interested in GW ect.

Verkinix · Jul 22, 2007, 05:27 PM // 17:27

I ordered the prerelease through the ingame store and it worked fine. What I dont get is why, if I already own all the campaigns, would they offer a "buddy key" that is localized only to the account you purchased it on? Like why wouldnt they email me a separate buddy key so that I could, ya know, actually give it to a buddy to try out the game? So now I have this worthless buddy key linked to my account that wont get used.

Anyway, I'm far from complaining. I get to preview the GWEN weekend as well as have permanent weapons on my account at no cost. I'm just trying to figure out the logic behind the buddy key being linked to the master account which already owns all the campaigns. I actually do have some friends who would like to try GW and probably wont buy it without trying it first, so this is Anets loss I guess.

roninrbl · Jul 22, 2007, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Can someone tell me, that if I create a charachter a year later the /bonus command is still going to work? So the ability to give the bonus items to any new character is permanent?

Darkobra · Jul 22, 2007, 09:27 PM // 21:27

As long as you have the key on your account, you should be able to make the weapons at will on any character.

Feminist Terrorist · Jul 23, 2007, 03:56 AM // 03:56

Probably a stupid question, but I really don't have several hours to sift through threads and find the answer-how much will GWEN cost through the online store? And why the heck is it $49 from some stores and $39 from another? $49 is the price for a full game, and I do believe Anet said since this is an expansion, it would not be priced the same as a full game.

Been busy with other stuff, so haven't kept up on game happenings.

Jongo River · Jul 23, 2007, 09:47 AM // 09:47

I think they want us all to buy the pre-order bonus pack, before revealing exactly how much we *won't* be saving, by buying directly from them.

MirageMaster · Jul 23, 2007, 12:30 PM // 12:30

ingame store price for gwen was 40 euros i belive,here in hungary i seen gwen for about 24 euros,go figure.
