Default Divine Aura complaint

I think it is unfair that Dervish and Paragons, as well as Assassins and Ritualists get this. It was supposed to be a Prohecies CE bonus only but its not. Why not give the rest of the classes the special dances for those who have other CEs?

Why should the Proph CE owners get to have it when none others can?

Why not just give it to those classes on a per CE basis. Such that Dervish and Paragons get it if you have Nightfall CE but not otherwise. Same with Assassins and Ritualists. That was you can separate the CE editions as they should be.

No. Arenanet already said, to shell out an extra 20 for a brand new game and have faith in it like that is commendable, and they will keep up divine auras for as long as they can. I'm happy with having it on all of my characters :-D

I am not saying get rid of them all together just separate them. Give only Tryian characters it if you only have Proph, give only Canthan if you have Factions etc. Makes mroe sence that way since well there is no reasont hat Anet should make Proph players better by giving the aura to all characters regardless of campaign.

That's ANets way to say "thank you" to their longterm customers that supported them from the betas on! I can't see any problem with it!

To speak as someone who did not get the faction's campaign collectors, or almost the nightfall CE, I say "nay!".

Then maybe they should add crossgame content for those who have other CE. You don't need the other CE to get the divine aura on the characters made in those games. So give us something for whichever CE we have.

i guess you have missed those Nightfall disco ball special dances.

THEY HAVE A SPECIAL DANCE FOR EACH CHAPTER CE

they gave it to us for having enough faith to shell out extra for an unproven game.

brought up before so use search next time and rez another thread

Understand this, Divine Auras work on ALL classes in ALL expansion sets. Discoballs and backup dancers work ONLY on the new classes in respective expansion sets. Might as well make Discoballs global on warriors/necros/eles/monks/etc like a Divine aura then. Coz come on, they are very pretty yes? lol

You CE guys may have "Shelled out extra" for an unproven game, but howabout those normal edition users that also "Shelled out" for the game in the first place?

P.S. Don't murder me for posting on the OP's side lol

theres no use complaining about not having prophecies CE, its really too bad i did not know about the original CE or i would have gotten it

anyway, it is quite true that it seems lame that CORE professions get nothing from CE's besides the chapter's specificly new professions.

every chapter has a collectors with a special effect dance but its only for the 2 new professions of that chapter, yet the chapters have the core classes always. guildwars prides itself on always having the core classes in every chapter, so why the discrimination? Can't give them something similar, different? To show you have a chapter's collector's edition other than only on the newer professions?

it does feel unfair

totally agree, giving divine aura for ALL classes is just wrong when other ce's are for that chapter only.
they should sell the divine aura seperately for those of us who couldnt get or didnt know there was a prophecies ce and wont spend over £100 on ebay

Back in the month proceeding the release of guildwars prophecies, I almost canceled my order for the CE because the divine aura only showed during emotes.

Im glad I didnt

Seeing as how I rarely see them anymore, I feel very priveledged to have it. Anets way of thanking its customers, lots of games do it. I remember right before I quit Everquest they released veteran rewards for those who had subscribed for a while.

/veto the above poster. If they sold the divine aura seperately it would ruin it. I mean, look how special the mini varesh is, everyone has it, because of that nobody wants it.

You got what you paid. How hard is it to understand that?

Sure, Prophecies CE seems to give you more than Factions or Nightfall CE. But who says they have to be equal?

If ANet didnt give the RT, AS, D and P new classes auras - people would be here whining and crying about how ANet doesnt support their long term customers. ANet gives their long term customers divine auras and people whine and cry.

It was not ever suposed to be Prophesis only it was for GW period, why don't you try to track one down instead of sabataging others if you want it? Stop being so spiteful.

Divine Aura is a bonus for people who bought the Collectors edition of Prophy, deal with it.

As stated, the divine aura is a reward for those that took the gamble to buy the first campaign CE without knowing for sure if they'd like the game. The reward is so great cause it was a pretty big leap of faith. They still appreciate us for it and people that didn't take that gamble have no right to complain about it.

I supported Anet from the betas and on. Give me my Divine Aura. Just showing how your reasoning is flawed.
