Knightsaber Sith · Sep 19, 2006, 12:13 PM // 12:13

We know it's supposed to come with a standee. But nowhere does it say it's a Varesh standee and it refers to a Varesh pet so it seems to be something seperate.

The name may just be a guess, based on previous campaigns. Both Prophecies and Factions have a major storyline NPC as minipet: Rurik and Kuunavang. Now, what names of major storyline NPCs from Nightfall do we know yet? Not many. Warmarshall Varesh is pretty much the only NPC that has been mentioned in a Nightfall press release.

It is well known that the Nightfall CE will have a standee, it is confirmed by ANet. But this is not what discshop.se are talking about. As I said above: Why would you need a key code to "activate" a standee? A key only makes sense if it's an ingame miniature.

SaucE · Sep 19, 2006, 01:58 PM // 13:58

If I remember correctly the Miniature Kuunie was added after or just before release as a bonus for the delay/shortage of the CE. But I hope those things that site mentions are true. The official statement from Anet did say "more" at the end. This could be the "more".

Mordakai · Sep 19, 2006, 02:08 PM // 14:08

Kuunivang was announced after Factions went on sale.

I know because I bought reg. Factions, and would have bought the CE had I known about the dragon!

The fact that even PC Gamer is handing out mini-pets now, gives me hope that the CE will have a unique mini-pet - but I hope it would be something more exciting than Varesh.

Badger Muffin · Sep 19, 2006, 02:18 PM // 14:18

we will find out soon enough its only like what 37 days till it comes out, i have all rdy pre orderd it hoping 2 get a mini pet or somthing that will make it worth it

The official Factions CE content listing still does not even mention the CE exlusive Kuunavang miniature.

Tripple sheeesh.

for the ultimate sheeessshhhh i remind you that what you are salivating over comes from one site which may have lost much in the translation.

one small site has the bombshell nobody else has.

i quote this for final shheeshhhhh

I know it's incredibly boring, but I can only repeat what Gaile has said when asked about rumours in the past:

Until we confirm something, don't set your heart on it being true. If it's a rumour, chances are it's going to be wrong. That's the way these things go, a lot of the time. Someone will talk about something they'd *like* to have, and overtime as more people talk about it it gets twisted into "I heard they are going to do this..."

To clear thing up I read the guide pdf from bonus pack, Varesh is a female dervish, descendant of Turai Ossa (the ghostly hero in Crystal Desert). It's also in guildwiki:

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Varesh_Ossa

So judging from that picture, she should be on the right. There are already male minipets like Rurik and Shiro, this time would be female one ^^

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 19, 2006, 03:07 PM // 15:07

The woman in that pic has been identified as Morghan (or some other wierd spelling). I suppose we don't really know who's named what. lol

Mordakai · Sep 19, 2006, 03:48 PM // 15:48

Well, according to PC Gamer, Morgahn is a male Hero... (I think PC Gamer is wrong, but I hope Morgahn does end up being a Hero, if she is indeed the character we all think she is).

Mordakai · Sep 19, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

Man, this CE is packed.

Oh, and PC gamer was RIGHT.

Morgahn is Male.

Feminist Terrorist · Sep 19, 2006, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Seems like much of what we see leaked on store sites is truth. Kinda makes you wonder, eh?

Horseman Of War · Sep 19, 2006, 08:12 PM // 20:12

Which one is Varesh again?

I dont like human pets, they smell. Gonna sell it for sure, and Im not one to sell a pet.

edit-> found the wiki link above-> so Varesh is the female dervish on the CE box?

Why does Varesh sound like a man, while Morgahn sounds like a girl?

I think the woman on the CE box is a paragon. The dervish is on the SE box.

Yes, this CE is packed, I just hope they're still in stock for the next two days so I can pre-order with a bonus pack.

KoalaMeatPie · Sep 19, 2006, 11:47 PM // 23:47

1st Off, If you look at the art on the CE Box and the picture at the bgeining if this thread, we see the Person on the CE box weilding a Scythe.

Secondly it would only make Sense the the MiniPet is a Woman, I mean Shiro and Rurick are males.
