So they reprinted the collectors edition, SO WHAT

Look here is the crux of the problem, I have already purchased all of the upgrade-expansions I need for my accounts, and now ArenaNet wants me to spend another 60 bucks to get the collectors stuff? I don't think so! I already posted what they should do, give us the collectors stuff as an upgrade to the standard accounts we already have for the difference in the price. ($10) I think that is more than fair.

EDIT by unienaule: Don't post unproductive flames (everyone), please try to reply logically.

um...don't buy it?

Oo

Personally I was glad they made more copies. I was unable to purchase a copy in the first batch, but was able to buy it in the second. I think that it has less to do with getting more money out of us, and more to do with letting more people buy the collector's edition that actually wanted it. As some will recall, they admitted that they didn't make enough copies the first time, and there were distribution problems with those that they did make.

So, I see it as a good thing..

I really dont understand why Anyone would be against my suggestion afterall I am sure that just like me there are many people out there that simply gave up looking for the CE and just bought the standard Factions, My suggestion is to keep selling the reprint for new players that want CE and an upgrade kit ofr people That gave up waiting for the original.

All I can hope is that someone from Anet reads this, smacks their head and says Why did'nt we think of that!!!

i waited for my CE and got the extras.

the CE is a special package deal in a limited edition.

being able to add pieces of it at any time defeats that purpose of having something special.

/no way

BTW Anet has seen it and said no way as well

I hope they never provide what the OP is asking for. I waited for my CE to come, and a collector's edition is not a $10.00 add on you get after the fact 2 months later.

If you really want the stuff in the collector's edition, then shell out the money to purchase it. If you chose to buy the standard edition and don't wish to spend any more money, wait for Chapter 3's collector edition.

Sad but true story:

So I pre ordered at EB games my CE way back in February. I have two accounts so I ordered a CE and a normal copy. I get a call from EB saying my order came in. I show up and they don't have my CE. SO I am WTF where is it? other places has it. I ordered it the day it became available for order. They say they won't have it for a week and all EB's have delayed shipping on it because of their distributor NCSoft. So I throw a fit and they say: "Well here is a normal copy and we will give you your CE when it comes in." So I say OK I had already paid for CE and the normal copy. A week later I go back and they want to charge me for my CE version that I preordered. NOT telling me they charged me for my second normal copy.

NOW... whose fault was this? NOT ANET’s

Either way I the customer will have to pay for my CE if I want it.

I the customer am now screwed, and I did pay for my CE again. Turns out I was forced to pay for 2 normal copies and one CE. This of course would have been resolved had thier been enough supply for the demand.

I don't blame ANET for supply I blame NCSoft. Because of this I will never purchase another NCSoft title with the exception of GW. I will also never purchase from EB again.

ANET makes a great game and is not responsible for the ****ups of NCSoft or EB. Also when Nightfall GW 3 does arrive I believe ANET will have learned from NCSoft’s mistakes and adjust for the worst.

ANET is a good company and I hate to see them screwed by their distributor. BUT this is not the first time a distributor has screwed a game company.

Can you say Half Life 2?

Can you say every decent title published by UBIsoft?

Almost every EA game.

I'd like to see a reprint of the prophecies CE. I didn't get into GW until well after all copies were long gone.

What I'd like to see is a reprint of the original CE with a Guild Wars Prophecies logo, as opposed to the standard Guild Wars logo.

Stories like this are the reason why I will never preorder. If it ain't on the shelf and in my hand, I don't shell out for it.

Seriously, that really sucks. Didn't you get store credit or anything?

No I did not.. It was a very bad experience and I’m usually up for supporting my local game shop. The pisser was the Target across the street had a CE box on shelf not preordered sent to them on time and my money was locked into EB already. It would be nice to order direct from ANET and bypass NCSoft altogether.

To Those of you that say no way to an add on. I ask Why Are you elitest or something. Let me get this straight just cause you suffered a long time not playing till you got your CE no one who did not can't have it with out Paying The $50 for the standard + $60 for the CE for one account. I mean really is that fair ????

I dont agree with having to pay full price, if all you need is a small prtion of whats in full CE. If you go get an air conditioning system installed in your car, do you have to buy a whole new car? No, you just pay for the system/installation. They shouldve made an upgrade version, but with ANet probably only making profit on the 2nd 1 million units sold, they must really need the money by selling it as full version only. Does that mean Chapter 3 isnt expected to go over well? Sure sounds that way.

either name a major game that has ever sold an upgrade of their special CE items for chump change or drop it.

the CE is a special package and if those too impatient to wait for the special in game items want to pay a small upgrade charge for them forget it.

we waited so could you..

DIVINE AURA SKIP THE ARTBOOK/HEADPHONES FOR 5 BUCKS,would i add that to my second account? IN A HEARTBEAT I WOULD.

it is special you missed it and thats it.

try to preorder chapter 3 CE as i will (depending on what is offered as the chapter 3 divine aura/backup dancers equivalent)

Yes, really sorry, but I don't think we'll be offering the "special ingredients" of the Collector's Edition on an a la carte basis. It really is a package deal, in every sense of the word.

I think it would be nice to have a lot of options, though, so that if I want to get such-and-such and someone else doesn't really care about that, I can get it and he can give it a pass. For instance, I want more characters slots; others are prefectly content with the standard number. I don't mind paying a nominal feel for the slot, and the guy who doesn't need it is ok with not paying, too. I'd like to see those options increase, to be honest, but I don't think that special options like the Divine Aura and the Backup Dancers will be forthcoming without a purchase of the full CE. I will be happy to ask about that for future reference, though.

But I REALLY want glowy hands.

[QUOTE=Doomslay]...give us the collectors stuff as an upgrade to the standard accounts we already have for the difference in the price. ($10) I think that is more than fair.[QUOTE]

Thus, defeating the purpose of having a "collectors edition" altogether.

Only reason I didn't go for the collectors package is because the emotes were class specific to the Asn/Rit... nevermind. So, as with all things, I had a choice, and a chose the standard.

At least there was an option of having a collectors.

It's a little thing called "marketing"
