Unless this was a change in the last week or two, you are incorrect.

meh it would be nice if they'd at least put the factions and nightfall prerelease weapons either into the pack or sell the old packs in the store..... some people will have hero weps for every class while other people will be left out... :\

Off course they do.

Rhino's charge in pre-searing is probably the only good argument for buying the Goty pack.

All I know is my perma-pre warrior is going to be super-happy with his new sword!

For the record, I like the new items. I'll probably like them even more once I see the skins. I'm only a little upset about the sword because I already have a Jade Sword just like it (Icy + 15/ench + 5 def) for my conjure frost. Maybe I can just make it my new zealous farmer blade.... hmm...

You don't PvP much do you?

I mentioned zealous with barrage because of the fact that if barrage hits more than one target, its basically free... using Barrage as an example skill, your regen and the energy gained from using zealous with a pip lower regen will be nearly identical. The only time that regen is goign to matter is in a higher energy build such as a BA, BHA, or Cripshot ranger build. IF a player runs one of those builds with a zealous string, than they're an idiot.

What I don't like about the pre-order weapons is the skins they are using for them are from the design a weapon contest. Especially if the Glacial Blade is the skin I think its going to be. There was (IMO) a very nice looking sword in the weapon design contest winners, and I was hoping it would be a weapon that would drop in late game/elite mission areas. I would hate to see a skin that nice go to waste on a pre-order item that you will rarely see used by players.

If I had a weapon design that won in that contest and found out it was being used for a pre-order weapon while others' designs were dropping in an elite mission, I would be rather insulted. These people put a lot of time into designing weapons, and they should at least have a chance at their design being a highly sought after skin rather than just a disposable/throw-away weapon that most people will forget about shortly after release.

Go to every character, type /bonus and all your heroes are hooked up.

Doesn't GWEN have 10 heros? I got pre-order weapons for Sins, Rits, Para, Derv and now ill get weapons for Warrior, Ranger and Casters. GG.

idd,

I will just give them to my hero's (and throw away the bow, thats one of the whorst ever, -5 energy bah)

WOO!! The Glacial Blade is that sweet blue sword from the Design A Weapon contest winners.

The other two are kind of...meh...

WinterSnowblind · Jul 19, 2007, 06:22 PM // 18:22

The other two aren't from the weapon contest..

The sword still looks great, and I actually really like the staff. The bow is rather uninteresting, but I think all bows are.

Thunder79 · Jul 19, 2007, 06:33 PM // 18:33

10 heroes...presumably covering all 10 classes...that's why the preorder item has provisions for each caster class

Warrior - covered - sword
Monk - covered - staff
Necromancer - covered - staff
Elementalist - covered - staff
Mesmer - covered - staff
Ranger - covered - bow
Asssassin - not covered
Ritualist - covered - staff
Dervish - not covered
Paragon - not covered

except that they are covered if you bought previous pre-order packs and the game of the year edition (which anyone can unlock now through the online store)...what is making you buy this one...maybe you should miss out on this one too so your non-covered characters and heroes won't feel left out.

For those who bought all the pre-order packs...we're happy...got something for all of our heroes and characters.

would it make much sense to create a staff and make it so all caster classes except for Ritualist could use it? Wouldn't you be complaining about how ritualist can't use the staff if that were the case. I bet you would.

The weapons are supposed to be bonuses...just like the sneak peek weekend....in exchange for saying yes you intend to buy the expansion. They have no obligation to outfit every single class with the weapons provided in the preorder pack.

w0utje15 · Jul 19, 2007, 06:37 PM // 18:37

Factions Preorder????

Spiritbinder Ritualist
Dragon Fangs Assasin

All of them are entries from the Design A Weapon competition (if you translate the german you'll see that each one was a design-a-weapon contest entry)...the sword was one of the winners...the bow was a finalist...but the staff winner wasn't even listed on the Design-A-Weapon page. That gives me hope mine will make it in game as a weapon

Translated from the german site:

We were on the search for something unusual, something that the Eye OF the North topic fits. With Bora Vergili from Istanbul, Turkey, we became fündig.

We looked for something that a visual connection to far trembling summits manufactures unknown landing, and the entry of our Serbian participant Marko Cvetrovic fulfilled this exactly.

Our third breath-robbing weapon, the ice age blade, is based on the Artwork of Andre Roux.

1 question:
Why dont they ever make cool axes, i was like:"Hmm that sword can come in handy" then it struck me i never use swords, hate them with a passion. Axes FTW!!! Hoorah!!!

Jongo River · Jul 19, 2007, 06:49 PM // 18:49

These plus the GotYE pack cover all the heroes I actually use. It's a shame I've missed some of the previous pre-order packs, but I don't see myself wasting a hero slot on a Sin anyway. I love playing the class, but don't see much point in picking Zenmai over pretty much any other hero. I level Zenmai as a crit barrager and then forget about her.
