Backup Dancers > Divine Aura.
Divine Aura > Backup Dancers

Still, backup dancers? How about something more closely related to the Divine Aura?

* The Guild Wars: Factions Collector's Edition contains:
- Guild Wars Factions Game
- Guild Wars Factions Premium Art Book (Concept and In Game Art)
- Guild Wars Factions Desk Calendar
- Guild Wars Factions Mouse Matt
- Guild Wars Factions “Cantha” Poster
- Guild Wars Factions Sticker Set
- Guild Wars Factions Sound Track CD from Jeremy Soule
- TWO additional character slots – when added to existing Guild Wars accounts
- Exclusive in game CE items –Signature Emotes for Ritualist and Assassin professions in Factions. Special ‘emotes’ useable exclusively by players who purchase the Guild Wars Factions Collector's Edition. Customers with a CE access key on their account will be able to trigger special dances for Ritualist and Assassin characters. These will be augmented versions of the standard dance, with special effects, and when the dance begins several backup dancers will appear behind the character to augment his dance moves with custom backup dances. For the Ritualist, these will be dancing spirits, similar to the spirits that he summons on the battlefield. For the Assassin, these will be shadowy assassins who do "ninja-style" moves synchronized with the character's dance.

I doubt I'll buy the collector's edition, I don't even plan on playing Ritualist or Assassin

I'll just wait for ANet to realise the official discription on their site, and if it gives me another slot, I'll definitly buy it, otherwise, I'll pass.

After looking at the Collector's Edition's description, i want to get it!

@viper008
What coldplay was referring to was the rumor that the CE was to receive 3 slots instead of the 2 stated in the info.

Cherno · Mar 09, 2006, 10:22 PM // 22:22

Well I think that may just be a reference the fact that Factions gets two slots when linked, not two additional on top of that.

Halfthought · Mar 09, 2006, 10:38 PM // 22:38

I was wondering how much will factions cost?

Gaile has said (in game chat) if you have CE of chapter 1, you will get Divine Glow for Rit / Asa (aka you buy normal version of C2 and have C1 CE you will get the Divine Glow).

I left that out due to fear about 6 vs 8 slot arugment in this tread - I'm adding it back in.

It is, one of the sites that did pre-orders (in the past, UK I think) listed a special key you can add to get an “additional” slot vs the regular edition.

I view it as the "merge" to get 6 slots that Anet has stated (no matter what version).

50 regular

70 collectors edition

might see it later at 39.99 regular

Former Ruling · Mar 09, 2006, 10:54 PM // 22:54

Heres story in full: A site (in the UK I think..) listed CE contents way before Anet had even arranged the CE package, and they listed one of the perks as a CD-Key that will net you 1 extra slot ON TOP OF the 2 you get with Factions.

Now the real package is for preorder, and that was confirmed just a rumor, people are backlashing about it saying they DEMAND a extra slot with CE lol.

I have friends that cancelled their CE preorder when they found out it didnt come with an extra slot.

Frost1069 · Mar 09, 2006, 10:56 PM // 22:56

my EB has it set for $52 on release date...it will deff end up goin on sale later on though n' be round $40 like the origional which i've seen it as low as $35-ish

Rainith · Mar 09, 2006, 11:19 PM // 23:19

Last time I checked (about a week ago) Best Buy had it listed at $39.99, everywhere else had it at $49.99.

Dr Ripley · Mar 09, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

So... I just purchased the pre-order package from Amazon for a buck. As we all know, I can play factions 24 hours early with a cd key included in this package. Obviously, I'm going to have to pay for the full game sometime later, but where does that happen? Can I pay the full amount online while I download the full client with my cdkey on the 27th? Or will I have to go to some store during or after the 10 day trial to buy the full game still?

CKaz · Mar 10, 2006, 12:11 AM // 00:11

that's sad, pretty much spells it for me :b thanks

Mister_Smiley · Mar 10, 2006, 12:27 AM // 00:27

drowningfish999 · Mar 10, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Can you get the preorder AND the CE?

the 14 hour/10 day trail is for prophecies not factions.also jeff said that pre-orders would get the 24 hour early bonus + an extra 24 hours on the client so you don't have to camp outside your local store on release day.

thelessa · Mar 10, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

Sigh, was hoping for Divine Aura, well I guess just the reg. ed. for me. :/
