Bonus Mission Pack ? - Guild Wars Forums

Wrath of m0o · Sep 03, 2007, 12:11 AM // 00:11

I just went and bought Gwen at Gamestop, because i like to have the box set when i buy games so i can reinstall my games into any computer i want to without having to download the game.
Is there any way for me to get the bonus mission pack?
I havent installed the game yet, so any help would be greatly apreciated..

I believe you only the get Bonus Mission Pack if you buy over $35 worth of stuff on the Online Store.

same way as ever, spend 30 bucks at the online store. Buying gwen at another store doesn't change anything.

Also, a side note: even if you buy from a store, you still need to download everything. the CD isn't at all important, especially to an expansion. Once you installed the first campaign, the rest of the cds are useless.

useless?
Say i want to change computers..
You know how long it would take to install Guild Wars Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Gwen from Scratch?
Way too long
I own all 4 games and if i want to upload the game to another computer i can do so in say 10 min
Try that with a download

You just need to spend over $30 at the store, not necessarily buy GWEN. You could buy a few character slots or a PvP pack if you still wanna get it.

You can just copy your install from one computer to another using any of a variety of techniques...

GW also has this fantastic ability of downloading itself as a background process while you play, sure zoneing can take a little time first time round but its still only a few megabytes a go.

Also if you leave GW on the login screen it will continue to download itself.

what immortus said works too.

i always thought Gw was really impressive on that side XD

You dont need any cds at all just the key code and download client

and enter your email addy

Anet has all your information so if you changed computers ( download the client )enter your email and password, and you can play all the campigns and chars you had on your old p/c

the main purpose of this is. if you had another p/c or used a internet service in another area you can access to your account

I used to play Guild Wars at school, on computers that revert the drives when you log out.

That means, every time I played, I had to reinstall.

Note that there is pretty darned fast internet there, but from the time I clicked "Download Game" or whatever on guildwars.com to the time I could walk around was never more than 15 minutes.

The only thing that Factions or Nightfall adds to the base Guild Wars install is new areas and map data, which never take more than 5 minutes to download even on my home connection, and once I've downloaded a few, new ones don't take so long.

I've never had to put any of the other campaign's disks in my drive :P
