yea, you need to collect the special event items for tommorrow to make the mask, kinda like the candy cane shards

Well, until anyone speaks up and says their account shows something referring to the 24 hour early access, we shouldn't worry. As far as I see, everyone has the same thing on their account, so I'm sure we will have access when the GMT clock strikes midnight.

No worries.

Okay, thanks - that is a relief.

Another good sign would be a gigantic patch that we all have to download once it's time.

(By the time we all get done loading it, the 24 hours will have passed

)

Yeah I was concerned as well. Before it said under Prophices "head start event" something ... and now it doesn't... (so we'll see)

I already downloaded a moderately large patch this afternoon. It changed all the PvP armor skins, some names and the why dye effects Necro Scar Armor.

I also deleted all my pre-loaded area data becuase my anti-virus indentified them as a spyware...go me.

OK thanks Swinging Fists. Now I just have to wait until amazon.com ships my collectors edition I ordered. Right now its sold out but I preordered it way back in march. So 10 days, huh, thats good then, I haven't created a factions character, well only for that preview weekend but just deleted it because I will be using my character from original GW to use in factions. Even if the 10 days are up I can still enter then CD key, after 10 days and still have access to Cantha. Thats if my game gets delayed from amazon. Amazon is usually very fast with shipping.

5 hours left. Prepare yourselves ladies and gentlemen...

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 27, 2006, 02:49 AM // 02:49

I'm preparing myself for bed. Ill fire it up tomorrow night around 7pm. I want to get a Tengu mask on my Necro.

Jas D · Apr 27, 2006, 02:57 AM // 02:57

I hope the head start isn't a total failure, and comes out to be something horribly stupid. I'm not a fan of tengu. Personally, I really hate those stupid birds. Oh well, lets have some fun. 4 hours left.

I would assume that the proph characters on the account that has the pre-oder key will be able to access these events because it says for those of you who have not been to cantha a quest is available in LA which leads to Cantha. Even so I will probably join the mobs of assassins/ritualists.

Diablo™ · Apr 27, 2006, 03:04 AM // 03:04

zomg new Blue/Black menu interfaces are so cooool!

ADDED: Henchies Talk!!!!! omg!

T1125P · Apr 27, 2006, 04:13 AM // 04:13

Yeah I know, it shows now how much area is explored, but what does that little box do when its checked? I didn't notice anything checked or unchecked. I have 80.3% explored now I have to just roam around areas just to open up the map more I want 100%. I have done every quest mission and bonus.

Corn Flakes · Apr 27, 2006, 04:20 AM // 04:20

Wow. They're doing an extended head start event. Yay!!!!

Prince Aoki · Apr 27, 2006, 04:26 AM // 04:26

I just installed it.. about 120 mb..

cyberzomby · Apr 27, 2006, 06:04 AM // 06:04

Hi there,
Im waiting now to log in. But on the site it says I got to wait for another hour. Wich doesnt make sense as in the news post a few posts back they say it will start at
7:01 GMT in the netherlansd its +1 and when I look at my pc clock its 8:03 already.
The internet site says theres one more hour of waiting

disposable-hero · Apr 27, 2006, 06:05 AM // 06:05

7:01 GMT factions head start supposidly opens.
7:04 on my pc clock
56 min countdown till cantha opens on Guil Wars site?

Have any setbacks been posted?

dcjeremy · Apr 27, 2006, 06:06 AM // 06:06

Its summertime in Germany (GMT +2), so the head start will begin at 9.

I dunno if netherland have a summertime too...

/jr

cyberzomby · Apr 27, 2006, 06:06 AM // 06:06

Ive found it out as well.
At least its good to know you encountered it 2 as I was wondering if I gave the wrong key to my friends lol

Cant make a character in factions yet havent got the slots so.
Well suppose we will have to wait a bit more.
I could have slept for one more hour !!

cyberzomby · Apr 27, 2006, 06:07 AM // 06:07

aaah that makes sense. We got summertime as well. Didnt knew if the UK had it as well lol.

skammich · Apr 27, 2006, 06:08 AM // 06:08

the website is based off of PST (midnight 12:00am PST) is when it launches, my guess is something with daylight savings time.
