Nightfall Pre-release bonus pack

the preorder setup looks cool and the pics of the world look awesome and detailed, but if they dont fix how overpowered the dervish are then im not gonna even bother getting the game

Will they screw up supply of these? Or will people who pre-order the game actually get these this time?

The funny part is that Gaile jumped in and raised all this doubt that the storyline revolved around an "outcast god" as stated by EBgames.... and said that companies make stuff up, and how it was all untrue...

well whaddya know, looks like EBgames didn't make it up after all.

Silly Gaile.

maybe eb made a lucky guess =P

hmm I find it unlikely that they're gonna leave em overpowered in the final release, but keep in mind that, whether you buy it or not, you're going to have to deal with other people using Dervish and Paragon classes.

So this is going to be a box I can buy in my local games shop for as yet unkown amout? Sounds good to me Hopefully it will be in the GW Store which by then will take pay pal or debit cards.

I highly doubt there will be a seperate preorder package for the CE. In the past, which package you get has been between you and the retailer. I tend to buy from Fry's, so I just take in my receipt for the preorder, grab the one I want (ce or normal) and head for the cashier. Both get the discount, the store doesn't care which one I grab, so I grab the one I want.

all gaile said is that unless Anet officially releases any information, anything else is unreliable. which is always going to be true. ;P

Hopefully these preorder items will get more use than my current stuff >.>

I find it interesting that they changed the language from 'pre-order' to 'prerelease'. Is that all this is, a change in language, or will they be charging for this 'prerelease' package?

I'll never look at the Spiritbinder the same again.

The Nightfall preorder weapons sure look nice, and seem to have a use. With a nice enchanting mod on that beautiful scythe I'm definitely going to be using it a lot.

From the screenshots so far, I'm also loving the art overall of Nightfall. The statues at the docks look beautiful. I'm hoping that every chapter isn't required to have a nasty destroyed area like Cantha had Kaineng City and Tyria had post-sear Ascalon. :/

That's a good observation, eh! You're probably right. Since it will include an extra slot it would make sense that they wouldn't be just giving it to us for free.

Ok i kinda dont get this. I can buy nightfall thing for 10€ to got an extra slot and 2 weapons and thats all?

So-alike Guild Wars Prophecys/Factions, when the Collectors Edition is released, if I pre-order that will I also recieve this bonus package?

Thanks

Well how usual preorders work is that you pay $10 or so for them, they usually come with bonus material, and then when you buy the real game when it comes out, you subtract the price you paid for the preorder from the price of the game. The pre items on Guild Wars are weapons that each one of your characters gets a copy of, and if they ever throw it away, they can get a copy back by typing "/preorder"

Now then, though, as Denny Pace pointed out, this "prerelease" may not be like a regular preorder. If that's the case you would pay whatever the price of the prerelease is, and you'd also pay full price of the game when it comes out.

i would like to think that this is just a preorder kit. that way i can walk into my local eb and just preorder the game and get this incredible collection of goodies. i hope that my local eb has a few copies of the ce available for preorder. i'm still waiting on my factions display stand. they keep stalling and stalling. but i will get it. so i dont know how reliable this eb is. but either way nightfall looks beautiful. i cant wait.

omfg i kinda got it. its a way for anet to give younger players to buy new char slots without needing a credit card. every intelligent kid will just buy x of those packages and get x new char slots without using his parents credit card. its like the wow gamecard in stores. i feel really bad about where guild wars is going.

It could be a change in language, but there is no mention of pre-order in the press release and they call it a retail package, but there is no announcement on price. I don't beleive the Factions pre-order pack had a set price, and stores were supposed to give you a copy it you pre-ordered.

So this may be a separate pack - an extra purchasable slot with bonus goodies. Anet may also be leaving it up to some stores to offer discounts on the game for people who buy this.

Sept 15! that means the next chapter is coming out sooner?
I remember reading an interview where they said they split into two groups so they can release chapters faster. hope its true! Hope its, one chapter in December and one in April or june.

I like the ideas with the slots.

However I have a question

what if I buy two, so I get two slots ?

i think so, because taht would be a good way for anet to make a lot of money...

When I saw the title I believed it was some kind of "what would you like for the collector edition?" topic. And I thought... an extra slot would be cool.

I was amazed when I read the 1st post. Thanks ANET
