Sorry Knightsaber, I just started playing again and couldn't find a definitive answer on the forum searches I did. But thanks for the clarification much appreciated.

I’m really looking forward to Nightfall these items ROCK!

Question will we have accsess to these items before Nightfall's release?

With Factions you could get the preorder items as soon as you added the key to your account

WRONG

PREORDERING THE GAME GETS YOU NOTHING BUT THE GAME............IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?

TO GET THE GOODIES YOU NEED TO BUY THIS SEPARATE RETAIL BOX ITEM.

FROM THE GW SITE

Quote:

August 1, 2006 (BELLEVUE, WA) — ArenaNet® and NCsoft® today announced a brand new retail package which will soon give Guild Wars® players their first look inside the exciting upcoming release, Guild Wars NightfallTM. The announcement comes on the heels of the Guild Wars Nightfall PVP Preview Event where players were able to create characters using the new Nightfall professions.

The Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack is expected to hit store shelves on September 15 and will feature:

Guild Wars "Play Now" key for a 10-hour/14-day trial* of Guild Wars PropheciesTM and Guild Wars FactionsTM.
Guild Wars Nightfall Bonus Key, providing one additional character slot for a Guild Wars Nightfall account, as well as two exclusive items for the new professions—a Firey Sunspear of Shelter for the Paragon and an Icy Soulbreaker of Enchanting for the Dervish
Mini strategy guide, concept art, screenshots, in-game renders of characters and items, preview trailer, wallpapers, lore, quick reference card, music, and more!

NOTE THAT IS PRERELEASE AND NOT PREORDER.

YOU NEED NIGHTFALL TO USE THE SLOT AS WELL

nagojohn · Sep 06, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Ok I get it, I will stick with the two slots from just buying the game after it comes out and adding it to my GW/GWF account. Thanks for the feedback.

The actual game goes live Oct 27, so if you order online they'll ship it Oct 26. The prerelease bonus pack goes on sale Sep 15. I'm not sure if gamestop will ship the bonus pack seperate when it goes on sale, or if they'll ship it in October along with the game.
I think what you're reffering to is the bundle that includes the prerelease pack and the actual game as opposed to amazon which only has them seperately.

does anyone know if the "play now" trial key for prophecies/factions is linked to the key for nightfall? in other words, could i use the nightfall bonus key for myself, but give a friend the proph/factions trial key in an attempt get them hooked w/ the trial?

seeing how i already own both factions and prophecies, the trial key would be useless to me.

It's seperate so you can give it to a friend like a demo disc

Mr. G · Sep 06, 2006, 07:26 PM // 19:26

It should be separate. That's how it was in Factions pre-order. One key for the bonus items, another key for the Trial.

I gave my friend the trial key that came in the Factions pre-order, and he was able to play the Factions preview, and Prophecy. (only for a limited time, though).

I think that's what Anet expects you to do.

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 06, 2006, 07:30 PM // 19:30

Don't know what to tell ya, checked amazon.uk and they don't even have the bonus pack listed seperately. Wait til after Sep 15 when it's actually for sale and somewhere will probablly have it listed.

Mr. G · Sep 06, 2006, 07:36 PM // 19:36

meep.....It sucks doesnt it? all the yanks can pre-order but i have to go visit a stupid shop, also its friday and im in college so that messes up that idea....sigh....meep...beep...click...wizz

Sheriff · Sep 06, 2006, 07:43 PM // 19:43

Hi,

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but couldn't find any topic

Of course I meant PRERELEASE in the topic, not PREORDER

Can't edit the subject, bah :P

Does anyone know where the GW Nightfall preorder pack can be purchased in Europe?

Preferably from a webshop of course, that ships to Ireland

Thanks in advance!

The problem with that is they would ship him the American version. He needs a European copy.

Talk to this guy:

you got the same thing going....

Horseman Of War · Sep 06, 2006, 09:06 PM // 21:06

In light of my previous post on the item stats- i totally overlooked the +5e on the spear-> i guess this answers ppls questions about it being a caster weapon too- once you get an enchanting 20% rune, you essentially have a ranged totem axe/R's fervor

that, and the 15/enchanted scythe is really going to be difficult to replace for something better- once you add your favorite runes that is (wtb 20%+1 scythe mastery!)

LiamR · Sep 06, 2006, 09:08 PM // 21:08

Game. I got the factions one, from there.

Mr. G · Sep 06, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

meh, isnt going to work, ill just have to work a way to get it, just trying to save some time thank you anyway

Uh, you can't Mod these weapons, can you?

Anyway, they already have two Mods, so if you could mod them, it would just erase one of the existing Mods.
