Old thread but something has been bothering as of lately. The inability to upgrade your Prophecies account to Collector's Edition via Online Store. I'd very much like that option. No, not because I want my necro to piss green, but because I own CE copies of later chapters.


Although, necro pissing green is a nice bonus.

Aye. But, it is unfair on those who forked out the extra cash to get the CE. Gaile said this wouldn't happen anyway.

I'd personally like the CE version, but I know it's not going to happen.

How could it be unfair?

They forked out some extra cash to get the CE and additional materials. And I'm willing to fork out that same amount of cash just to get upgraded to CE without the extra content the original buyers got in the box. ArenaNet doesn't have any shipping costs, no middle men to pay and doesn't have to print the maps, manuals and whatnot again.

Basically, I'm paying more for less and bringing more profit.

Gaile i thinking some days before i've getted an Idea... What the GW-Players want to see in the In-Game Store... I've thought not that you wear cloths or something but something like you can buy for $5.00 special capes for your heroes or something that you can design by YOURSELF! or maybe paying In-Game cash for the capes but you cant get all capes.. just i mean with that u pay with real cash but you can choose special icons etc or special colors like cyan or something

P.S Gaile i hope you like it! ..Maybe an idea for GW2? Capes for heroes

We don't want to blow up the economy, so how about some things that mainly only affect the purchaser:

-Extra Storage Tabs (limit 4 additional?)
-Doubled Crafting Material Storage Capacity
-Cape Designs
-Maybe additional character faces/special accessories like earrings, though then everyone would be pissed and remake their character - unless you can somehow make it so it lets you change the items without making a new character. I'm sure you guys can pull it off, RuneScape has done it since the 90s.
-PROPHECIES LOGIN SCREEN! I know it'd be weird since back in Prophecies you only had 4 chars and they'd always be displayed, not "poof", AND the camera was locked, but I'm sure you guys can think of something.
-PROPHECIES INTERFACE! I'd love an official way to revert the UI back to its original glory without having to use TexMod - some people like running GW plain and simple without having to fire up TexMod first.
-PROPHECIES BETA INTERFACE! Even awesomer.

Also, don't, PLEASE DON'T, put the CE into the ingame store. It was limited edition for a reason, and now, even if you make it cost as much as the original CE did, it will ruin its sentimental value. I don't own the CE personally, but I urge you not to break it.

not caring how old this thread is, i want stuff!

Collectors edition weapons for other campaigns:

The prophecies one was brilliant, i wasn't able to get a collectors edition first time around, and the /bonus weapons are the single best things for heros, and i would love to be able to equip my Sins/Rits/Dervs/Paragons without having to look through wiki for a collector with a decent spear/daggers.

Account only "synthetic" improvements:

Such as special masks(including existing ones)/auras/minis, all account restricted, aka customized, would be nice to get the original horns of grenth and the Christmas/Halloween masks i missed from last year due to out of game issues *cry*

MERCH!:

I am the proud owner of a head Crab plushy hat, and a pair of Companion Cube furry dice, what i really want now is a Mallyx plushy i can kick around the room, or a "As a child i spent much time in these lands" t-shirt.

what i DON'T want to see

anything along the lines of ingame content that effects play, this includes but is not limited to

Materials
Armors
Gold
Weapons

anything that will allow people with unlimited funds to flex there e-peens more than they already do.

You're thinking of the pre-release bonus packs. The weapons aren't part of the CE packages. But, yes, being able to type /bonus and instantly equip any hero is such a major boon, that I think those weapons should be put in the store, as a combined "GotYE" style pack, for anyone who's missed them.

Id' like to see:
* Bonus update: Give keys that things like CE, pre-order and million editions gave, but of course, you won't get anything of the other bonus keys. You won't get things like music, maps, pins, etc. Just keys, like the Million edition upgrade once was available. 25..100€ if sold toghether. 5..25# if sold separately each one.

* Miniature pack: Can be purchased once per week, and gives the next character that login and has enough invenotry space 5 Gift boxes. Each gif box will spawn one random miniature once used, but will spawn ONLY miniatures that are not NOT currently acquired ingame (That is, NOT Birthday presents NOR rewards like Ghostly Hero, Mallyx, Polar Bear or Greased Lighting). Of course, the more 'rare' the miniature, the harder it will spawn. 5..10€

*Xunlai Marketplace access: Working just like purchasing a new campaign, would create the outpost in the Battle Isles. Everything would work like suspected in the Xunlai Marketplace gossip thread. 10..25€

*Name change token: Allows to change the name of one character. Any customized items would be lost, though. Can be purchase only once every month. 5..10€

*Character remake token: Allows to change the complete apperance of a character (hairstyle, hair color, face, skin tone and height. Can be purchased only once a day. 5..10€.

You get too much out of that...and you start ruining it. It turns into Maplestory..with that NXbucks.

If you aren't familiar with that, Maplestory is a free Side scrolling MMO, they make their money by offering to sell you (for real money) "NXbucks" that can be used in an ingame store to buy special Armor, Items, etc. It really split the game, and of course they got money hungry, so basically ANYTHING decent has to be boguht through NXbucks..
It won't ruin this game by selling in game items. Like all weapons in game... its basically a re-skin of existing weapons. So lets say if they sold a "Chaos Blade" online for 10 bucks, it wouldn't provide any advantage to the player who bought it.. as it will probably be R9 15-22 w/ an inscription slot. But if Anet wants to be greedy and convince ignorant people to buy reskinned items... it wouldn't seem like a bad way to make money in their perspective.

Auras and things.... you know, useless cosmetic things that look wicked awesome but don't do anything but lag up those with poor connections/computers.

For instance, I'd love an aura of some sort... I don't feel like shelling out $200 for prophecies collector's edition just for the key.

I've read a lot of posts in this thread and this seems to be one of the most frequently requsted items.

I don't ever see it happening - that's why they sell extra character slots.

What I'd like to see is a SALE in the on-line store.

They're saving tons of money by not having to produce CDs/DVDs, artwork, packaging or any transportation costs. Why not pass the savings along to us?

I've seen prophecies on sale for $19.95 but haven't been able to get there. If the store had it for that price I'd buy it today.

If they had mini-pets for sale that weren't tradeable/sellable I'd probably be willing to spend a few bucks.

All the ones I've seen on e-bay for the past 2 months go for $400 US. - No freaking way, even if i got every mini-pet, every weapon, everything for free. $400 you gotta be kidding.

Not sure what you mean . . .

I've bought "Core", Nightfall and Factions skill unlock packs in the store.

Plus isn't there a unlock kit just for PvP that unlcoks everything?

Things that I would like to see are SF like updates for a small fee or even make a team out of GW fans to make/mod new content which Anet would then cut and paste.

The amount of unrevealed map is huge and when you put your mind to it there's heaps of things that people can come up with. Come to think of it I would love to see a competion run where people thought of a small story or setting which could be the scene for the winners new content huge or small.
In unison with this competion could be another run for modders who would work on the content with a select few and in return Anet could chuck them a few duped minipets of some description.

About five years ago I wanted a bird cage that didnt exist to sell to my customers so I asked a very willing supplier to make me one for retail.
On his next trip to china he gave my crappy design to his little contact and with in 2 months I had this cage and was flogging it to every man and his dog. Now I know that my wife would nag the poo out of me if you guys had a gwen doll and just think of all the girls or guys that play GW that would want one.

Why the hell do they think nano ipods with three year old artwork on it is gonna convince me, a diehard GW fan, its worth another five hundred bucks than a new nano. Na sorry but I would rather take the GW box with me on a jog around the block or down to the gun club if im that sort of person which im not and this doesnt mean im the sort to cry myself to sleep with a Gwen doll either.

Mini-charges for every Collector's Edition bonus that can't be traded. Like Divine Aura, the disco ball/shining light, and the backdancers. I would plunk down another $10 just to have Divine Aura on my characters (a bargain considering sealed copies of Prophecies CE go for $400+ on eBay).

So if you buy the special items or armour, you have a character that is better, stronger, less likely to die, etc?

Guild Wars will not be undone by that sort of offer. We will not make an offer for something that, when one player owns it, puts another player at a disadvantage. No "Uber Armour," no "Super Special Mighty Weapon of Doom," or anything of that like.

That just seems a likely difference between the other stores and what we plan to offer.We will give you choice of things you might like to have, may choose to have, but will not need to have. Does that make sense to you?
RF Online and Archlord did that (buy credits, for ingame items) when they went free to play.

I mean you offer Charakterslots in the shop, but most people i know long for more inventory space. Sure you can buy character slots and abuse them as mule for extended inventory space, but that seems somewhat unhandy.
How about some purchasable upgrade for the Xunlai-Chest that gives it more space or a slider that adds a wardrobe which can carry weapon and armor.

I WANT CHARR SLIPPERS. And with that said, more storage with out having to buy a charicter slot. Would rather have it in the Xunlia chest. I totally agree with Zraak. Aspecially for armor.
