I know I'll be doing /bonus when I log on each day...

I suspect as soon as they are availble, we'll quickly see posts of in-game shots!

They're up on http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:Future_feature too.

EDIT: So, were these winning designs not posted, or what?

The sword is the winning entry of Andre Roux. Oddly enough, the concept art for the Hourglass staff didn't win, but it was posted on GWO, IIRC. I guess A-Net decided that it would be added anyway?

You need to purchase the prerelease bonus pack in the in-game store, and then when you purchase GW:EN in the in-game store, the cost of the PBP will be applied to the cost of the game.

Someone care to clarify that clarification? It only confused me more.

Am I right in thinking that we need to purchase the pre-release pack from the online store, and that will reduce the cost of buying GW:EN? In which case, could we buy the pre-release pack from the Online store, but not bother actually buying GW:EN?

I really want the pre-release pack, but absolutely no where in the UK has even heard of it, and I'd much prefer a boxed copy of GW:EN.

Ninna · Jul 19, 2007, 09:02 PM // 21:02

PreRelease pack (PRB) and GWEN are *separate* purchases from GW Online store

can mix and match, buy the PRB from GW Store and get boxed copy of GW:EN elsewhere

I dont know whether to post this here or not but was hoping someone could answer this. On wiki it says that with the pre release pack we get access to the Tabula Rasa beta.My question is will I get it if I buy it online?

Fox Reeveheart · Jul 20, 2007, 03:29 AM // 03:29

every warrior/wammo and anyone with a warrior secondary will be using that sweet sword, I know I will!

Seems like with the ice damage and 15% while enchanted would be good for a W/D or D/W build... hmmm... obviously a W/E build would be nice or E/W

StueyG · Jul 20, 2007, 04:06 AM // 04:06

I was really hoping it was not that sword from the contest as it was one of the best designs and now you have to get the pre-order and also are stuck with lousy stats. It has use but would much rather have a fully customizable one. They have never been fully customizable, which is really lame. 15% Enchant and Icy, and 15 -5 and 20/20 Sundering on a bow. Boo.

Staff can be functional for a monk or ele, but as much for a mesmer or rit. Ah well.... more weapons to look at but never really use. I think the NF set I let my heros use until I could find better ones, but after that not much use.

That's a damn good question.

Gaile?

Gamestop better have my pre-release pack. Last time I called them they were clueless on even the exactly release of GW:EN which was a few days ago telling me the release date was Sept 1, I laughed but then sighed lol.
Anyway, as long as I get my copy before the event weekend I'll be a happy camper.

I know a place that sells the boxed prerelease pack online along with the GW:EN expansion, but I've been sworn to secrecy

You have to email around to see which retailers have the pack in-stock, and if they'll send it to you before the GW:EN release date.

So far, only Gameseek have the prerelease info listed; but from the customer reviews I don't trust that they'll be able to get the game to me by the day of release, and the fact they charge your card immediately even for preordering (which they say deters thieves, but I think they're the ones robbing people).

Either a, you will be emailed the code, or b, it will be added to your paync master account for you to then log in and use when your ready to

Ninna · Jul 20, 2007, 10:55 AM // 10:55

Amazon has the presale listed for 1.00
http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-Nor.../dp/B000TMHDX6
and they dont bill you until they ship

Regarding Tabula Rasa,
I think Dungeon Runners had similar offer

when I go my PlayNC account,
http://www.plaync.com/us/
it told me I was eligible to APPLY for beta
but it was not a guarantee of getting in

You will only get the weapons when you enter the code for GW:EN apparently.
Just what are you going to do with a sundering longbow of negative energy?
I'm scratching my head on that one.

Yeah, I'm checking into this as i and a lot of guildies remember having access to the preorder weapons early for both Factions and Nightfall

Apparenlty that wasnt the case, but i distinctly remember having them and using them on my presear warrior and also during the preview events for both chapters...

If however this is correct, we won't even have them for the sneakpeak event on the 24th August

Lyssa Rowan Tree · Jul 20, 2007, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Why is there still no mention of the pre-release bonus pack on the main online retailers websites?

Nothing on Amazon.co.uk
Nothing on Play.com
Nothing on GAME
Nothing on Gameplay.com
etc

Amazon and GAME are even linked from the Guild Wars homepage in the pre-release bonus pack article, and yet they seem to know nothing about it.

I want the pre-release bonus pack but not from the GW store.

How do I get it?
Where?

bleh ...

Kelsey Cain · Jul 20, 2007, 12:57 PM // 12:57

Not in the online store yet?

No use trying to promote the store if you don't get products in there on release day.
