Deluxe edition - Guild Wars Forums

Maat O'Crat · Jul 16, 2005, 08:37 PM // 20:37

What is the difference between the normal and deluxe editions, and is the deluxe edition worth it? Also are "special offers" such as the EBGames package w/the Ithas bow worth it?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to art book, or do hot have a head set for team speech then it is worth it. The preorder items are far from great.

Dude, the glowing hands is worth alone another $50. Just kidding. But I love my glowy hands. The art book rocks. The headset is ok. Its a bit big on me head and hurts my ears. I have never regretted spending that money. I don't know about the Ithas Bow, but I have the Carthan Targe or whatever from Best Buy, and it doesn't do much until I'm a pretty high level. Seemed kind of lame to me.

Yeah I got the collectors addition, the art book is interesting and the head set is nice and clear. Though like Vilatca said, it feels like it's cutting my ears off. But you can always add some kind of tissue over the plastic or something to cusion it. The glowing hands are interesting but they didn't specify what it did when I bought it. When I first got it I thought it would make me look like something out of DBZ with the glowing aura around me

If you have a headset, don't get it, otherwise get it.

well i was going to buy it, but i did not want to pay an extra $50 for a head set (which i already have a mic), but now that i have some extra moola im thinking about getting it just for the art book, head set and so my brother can play with me

just a question of my own, do you need the deluxe edition for team speak or do you just need a mic with the normal game?

Neutral Tyrant · Jul 16, 2005, 10:25 PM // 22:25

You can download Team Speak at www.goteamspeak.com for free. The collectors addition comes with hosting for it I believe and the software for Team Speak.

so is that site aproved by Anet? or would it be agains their policy, i live for guild wars so i dont want to do anything that will get me in trouble

I believe it's legal to use a program along with MMORPGs as long at it doesn't have a malicious effect in any way with the game.

Ultimate_Gaara · Jul 18, 2005, 05:15 AM // 05:15

well i guess i could try it, i probly wouldnt use team speak too much because all my friends droped out of GW, but it would be nice to have just incase i need it... however i would still feel a lot better if i heard it from someone at Anet...

EverBlue · Jul 18, 2005, 05:27 AM // 05:27

Well, if ANet is including the software for TS within their own game, it most likely means they DO support it..

blane · Jul 18, 2005, 05:31 AM // 05:31

It's just a normal voice chat software. IMO,it doesn't conflict with the game so there should be no problem in using such software.

Erm.. if teamspeak wasn't allowed at the very minimum 15% of their population would be breaking a rule =/
