Ok, who here when they bought CE for nightfalls (being your only CE you've bought) thought a fun bonus would be your emotes?

Well I sure was incorrect.. I thought we'd have the added ability of having our emotes be "special" and fun.. Well when I got my CE from UPS this morning, I logged onto GW to hear my entire alliance crying about how you need to buy Proph CE along with Nightfalls CE just to be able to have your emotes like both factions and proph, although with factions you didn't even need proph to have your special emotes..

I was let down hearing about this, and even more so when I typed dancenew (as my only special ability from buying CE) and saw him spin around a couple times and act like he was possed by a bloody demon..

Maybe it's not to late Anet.. to fix this huge mistake you've given to your gaming community.. If I actually have to buy proph CE just to get the special abilities in nightfalls CE, it'll be turning the dagger even more.. OHHH ouch!!

Only thing I really liked from CE was the artbook, the posters were a bit on the lame side..

All I know is, if you want your emotes to be cool looking (glowing) so you can show to other people you actually payed more for your game.. You cannot do this in NF-CE, unless you have proph CE, or are willing to pay around $250 on ebay proph CE..

The dancenew sucks, I hope to see something better soon if it's not completed..

Here you have.

Although the Factions CE dance with the spotlights was fun, I always hated the "sparkle" of Prophecies (Divine Aura, IIRC) - and I've generally become irritated with the whole idea of having stuff that seems designed to seperate players into different castes.

Who cares if the new one's crap? People demonstrating them look like twonks after the first couple of days, anyway.

What about the mini Varesh Pet.. Jeeze, I almost stepped on it when I pulled it out.. the damn thing is like 3 inches tall, you can hardly even make it out!

Rurik was at least twice the size.. Can this be fixed?

I doubt you're going to get glowy hands from CE proph and I'm also not sure why anyone would think that would happen. Further more, the box content alone was worth the 20 bucks. Have you seen what you get in a retail version? A disk and a book about 10 pages long. Do you know how much effort was put into the CE boxed edition and items?

Also, there are actually CE prophs in stores still. There were about 5 at frys and 2 at eb games around my house. I think the signature (coupled dance) is the most awesome deal they have had yet. I can't imagine that was that easy to impliment either. Theres an aweful lot of whining over getting a bad deal on the CE, wow...

We did a mini pet check and varesh is almost exactly the same size as rurik. But yeah compared to a fungul wallow (which seems to be the largest), it's a pretty small one.

^ lol..

ok thanks on the pet check, maybe it's just that I could see rurik more clearly, and varesh appears to me more like a small jumpled pile of pixels more than anything..

I haven't seen anything to justify an extra $20 so I've been pretty happy not doing so

You clearly haven't seen the regular version - the manual is 144 pages long and identical in format to what I've received in previous CE's - which are also a lot more than "20 bucks" extra (at least thay are in the UK). In stores, the cheapest regular is £17.99 - compared to the cheapest CE at £37.99 (that's a difference of almost $40 at current exchange rates). And those prices included the pre-order bonus for the regular, but not the CE.

I agree that the content of the CE's is generally nice, though, and that should be more important than the silly ingame bonuses.

Am I the only person who likes the CE dance? 0.o

I love it. How is it "special" well only CE users can do it, and I prefer a fleshed out dance to Factions the same dance with ugly back up dancers.

I like it, its really cool with Divine Aura on and if you sync with someone else. Even though I bust them out sometime, I'm not a big fan of the spirits... they were pretty obnoxious.

WHAT? You people are so shallow... CE is for people who want to support the game and get more goodies...
And how is ingame stuff so important? There's more to CE than dances and minipets, you know.

Dude, I don't know when you looked to buy Proph CE on Ebay, but it DEFINATELY DOES NOT COST $250! Wow, if that were true, I'd buy a million of them and sell them on Ebay for MONSTER profit!

Double-check your sources...
