It would definitely be a major turn-off, if players that bought the ch.1 collector's already, and find that the divine aura "again" was the main special thing for ch.2. It wouldnt be much of a collector's...

/g'day.

Gaile did say devine aura would carry on to new chapters with the people who have them from chapter 1 CE

Well from the looks of the link it's the download, on the main GW site Eroupe

CEs will probably be region specific, and contents will probably vary.

But if the CE doesn't include some sort of ingame bonus (a weapon, "aura", shield, pet, whatever) then it's not really worth buying IMO.

What I'd LIKE to see is characters displaying an overall glow (much like a boss monster) but a lot more subdued, perhaps a shimmering effect or your dye job glows slightly, etc.

THAT would be a must have, for those of us that are vain.

N19h7m4r3 · Mar 07, 2006, 05:40 PM // 17:40

I wouldn't mind that at all. Hmm glowy necro :P
Or maybe both for those of us that were to lazy to spend an extra 5 euro on the CE at the time

penguo · Mar 07, 2006, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Has anyone from Virginia, hopefully near Richmond, gotten there's yet?

You can always cancel after you've used that access key and just buy a CE from the store. If I hear anything I'll let you know

Online store? or is it a retail store? DO they ship to california? If so give me the addy and ill order from you guys im assuming that you guys have the pre-order package. Amazon seems a bit shakey and confused.

Hello,

I've recently purchased a preorder of Guild Wars: Factions, and have added the Factions preorder access key to my account. However, there have been a few anomalies that I feel contribute to my not having the full benefit of this access:

-There are no special features mentioned in "manage access keys." I would assume that had my key been properly taken, the preorder items would be listed here.

-My preorder items DO appear, on newly created pvp or RP characters. HOWEVER, my current RP characters may not obtain the items. I have used /presale and /preorder in the cities of Lion's Arch and Ascalon with 2 free inventory slots and no success.

-My preorder insightful staff (ritualist item) does not give me the full benefit of its stats. I only gain 5 energy from equipping the item when I should be getting +15. Additionally, the staff's projectile is an arrow, and not a "darkness" projectile as indicated in the item's stats.

Thank you for any response that may help me fix these problems,

Lasareth

I'm in Blacksburg, and nothing here yet. Haven't had a chance to make it to Roanoke to see if Best buy has it, but EB certainly does not.

penguo · Mar 07, 2006, 07:08 PM // 19:08

alright, maybe a few more days...

My Sweet Revenga · Mar 07, 2006, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Well the factions pre-order just showed up on Futureshop.ca. $69.99...... wow did they get this price right? Amazon has it for $59.99. Hell, Oblivion is only $59.99.

Starsky-sama · Mar 07, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

/crosses fingers for "exclusive pet".

(but that might be too WoW-ish to ask for.

)

Starsky-sama · Mar 07, 2006, 07:44 PM // 19:44

kool. I was waiting for futureshop.ca to finally have something.

now the odd parts.

-display box cover is preorder package cover. (nothing confirmed about this yet, but from ch.1 preorder package was not same as full game box. not that important either, but just to point out)

-price. $69.99 and at the side says, guaranteed low price, they can beat competitors....ie. Amazon.ca has it for $59.99. (everyone knows what will hapen.

)

-nothing said about the preorder package.

-above the box, "PRIMA".....hmmm..k...

-o ye. their release date: April.15th eh...(so far Ive seen, April28th, early May, now this.lol)
/meh.

ReKLiS · Mar 07, 2006, 08:00 PM // 20:00

amazon has lowered there price to 44.99

ReKLiS · Mar 07, 2006, 08:01 PM // 20:01

wow that was quick a few hours ago it was at 44.99 now its at 49.99

Starsky-sama · Mar 07, 2006, 08:07 PM // 20:07

yup. US.Amazon realized their error there. The preorder pack w/ the full game should still be priced at normal price (like everyone else), their error was they accidently made it look more like a discount before. (They should just have said, preordering full game gets auto preorder package. That's what it should be anyways.)

added: Reklis, maybe their going to do it like instore preordering. You are going to pay $5 deposit (get preorder pack), and pay/charge the rest of the cost, when they ship the full game to you later on.

ReKLiS · Mar 07, 2006, 08:09 PM // 20:09

im just hoping that they send the me the pre order package before the release or else it would be useless hmm i just checked right now on the factions page on amazon it says 49.99 but when you click on proceed to checkout it goes to a total of 44.99.... LOL now its showing that its 44.99 now on the main page

Mavrik · Mar 07, 2006, 08:20 PM // 20:20

including shipping from Best Buy for me was like $52.40 or something like that. $49.95+shipping.

ReKLiS · Mar 07, 2006, 08:22 PM // 20:22

does it come with the pre-order package disc
