All the info for the Sneak Preview Weekend Event.

Read and enjoy!

http://www.guildwars.com/events/inga...ek/default.php

Edit by Silly Warrior: RTSFirebat will be making a guide to the event, when the event occurs. This sticky will be replaced by his thread. So use this thread for all talk of the Sneak Preview weekend.

Added by RTS: I'm working on the guide as we speak, after all I want to be able to play in the preview event as well. So I'm getting all the template work put together now

Thanks for posting we are all looking forward to it.

Nexilinix · Aug 07, 2007, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Nice, we can help the Asura and Norns, and do 2 minigames

.
And I count 7 dungeons we can enter, that should be enough for 3 days.

I must admit that I havent really been all that excited about GWEN. But the anticipation is starting to grow now. >.>

Those doors are probably the entrence to the dungeons. The are letting us into more of the game then I was expecting....very cool.

so, lemme get this straight, they r gunna let us keep all the crap we get this weekend, but wont be able to use it for 4 or 5 days until all the servers so live? what kind of sick bastards r they? i wanna play with em after the sneak peek weekend and b4 the servers go live!!! maybe im just asking too much, lol

Patrick Stealthwind · Aug 07, 2007, 06:57 PM // 18:57

i also hope that we can access those dungeons by mapping... i dont wanna run to all my dungeons. and looks like they made the map a lot bigger than we expected

MithranArkanere · Aug 07, 2007, 07:06 PM // 19:06

I have a buckt and a mop by my chair, because I can't stop drolling.

Probably the 'wait' part will be the unlocked areas, skills heroes... not items and XP.
They probably will 'banish' from our panels until GW:EN is online again.

wajir0 · Aug 07, 2007, 07:12 PM // 19:12

can someone put a countdown...
or that would probably makes it even worse....

mazik · Aug 07, 2007, 07:25 PM // 19:25

Incentive to buy the full game...

of course, Anet could sweeten the pot and allow those who purchase the FULL game during the Sneak Peak to be able to use any picked up items until the official release (you know some crazy person will get Magma Gloves in 72 hours!)

This will do to things: For a week, those people showing off their new stuff will attract attention and drive sales for GWEN.

It will also allow Anet to pocket some money before the official release.

MSecorsky · Aug 07, 2007, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Think about it... we have to use existing characters, so they can't take experience and items from them, can they? Can we not pop to LA and drop some juicy tidbits into storage?

Seems that logistically there was no choice to let us keep stuff, after all it's not new characters that can be reset.

That being that... I can't freakin' wait...

And then some set of sick twisted bastards will be in LA selling magma gloves for 100k+160 Ectos(Exclusive GW:EN Sh*t)

Mister_Smiley · Aug 07, 2007, 08:09 PM // 20:09

I can't wait, i've been waiting and now this is makeing me even more excited, can't wait.

Since there is only so much we can explore (Fair Shiverpeaks) in the sneak peak weekend and i don't think that they will let us have the magma gloves that early.

Clord · Aug 07, 2007, 08:12 PM // 20:12

Some places pre-release bonus packs are free. It basically just mean simply GW:EN pre-ordering.

BenjZee · Aug 07, 2007, 09:22 PM // 21:22

i see they have a link to the amazon normal pack and not pre order pack. does this mean we dont have to order pre order pack just the normal pack and we will get the sneak peak.
does this count with amazon.co.uk aswell?
and will we get the exclusive items such as hourglass staff?3

ive just thought lookin at the doors...
we may not explore anywhere above tyria except the outposts. this means it doesnt effect explore title

draceena · Aug 07, 2007, 09:29 PM // 21:29

You gotta watch what you are buying as alot of stores will allow a "preorder" purchase (placing a small ammount of money down to hold a copy when the game is released) but this is in no way the actual Pre Order Package that allows the early access and bonus items.

vergerefosh · Aug 07, 2007, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Really looking forward to this. Especially if manage to get a nice skin can finance all/some of my new armour buying by selling high

Possibility of buying armours in sneak peek? Only downside there is if we can't use it till EotN.....

Naked chars :P

Norn Fighting and Boxing look like fun
