I just hope the e-mote candy is worth while in Nightfall CE.
Divine Aura wasn't well implemented on Canthan assassins (no particle-trails... just illuminated pin-points in hands).

the reason divine aura looks like that on assassins is that it's supposed to look like they're holding shuriken to further the "ninja" motif

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet.
Gamestop Online has posted the CE for Nightfall.
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=646745
Current asking price: 69.99 USD
Please note, they are not saying anything about getting the "starter kit" with it. That seems to be reserved for buying it with the standard edition.
I hope they update that soon.

Last time another site posted the contents for the CE ahead of time it was wrong.
Of course we'll get an artbook, but the rest I'm not going to believe until its on the official GW site. The last two had special emotes as well, which everyone seems to love, why would they take that out of the Nightfall one? This one just screams made-up more than the Factions one having an extra character slot did.

there they go again

I won't deny that it could be "made up," but I'm sure Gamestop gets their info from somewhere...perhaps NCSoft sales team, which I have no doubt is fallible.
Either way, please note the "potential" inclusion of skill pins. Something that was requested here when they first introduced them.
Also as far as being different, isn't that something you would want in a collector's edition? If they were all predictably the same, why would I want to buy it?
If all it had was the particle emotes signifying divine favor, and that was with every new character I created, I wouldn't want to keep purchasing something that was a duplication. Not at 20 USD more.
I expect every CE will have some very unique item that will make it truly "collectible."

I hope it does come with skill pins, that would be cool. If the mini standee is true; that would be interesting to. I could have a little six inch card board dervish guarding my monitor. I will be sad if there's no ingame emote bonus; but I'd still buy it anyway.
Mordakai
What I consider a "must have" to justify getting the CE:
Some kind of in-game bonus, be it emote or mini-pet. or something else unique. I won't buy a CE if I can't show it off "in-game." I mean, the other stuff is nice, but who will care if you have the music CD or artbook?
Ahh, but come sporting a unique mini-pet, that gets attention!

I suggest no one gets their hopes up for another mini pet. The only reason Factions got a mini pet was cause it wasn't available in full release in many areas for over a month past the intended release. I admit I like my mini kuunie too and didn't sell him. But lots of people did sell theirs which is like paying $20 more for the game; and Anet giving you a 100k bonus. I kinda hope they never give out a mini with a CE again; but if they do it should be a customized non-transferable mini. The CE bonuses should be permanently associated with your account and non-transferrable.

Well the contents of the CE are officially confirmed
http://www.guildwars.com/press/relea...2006-08-24.php
They do end the list with "and more"; so although it doesn't list any ingame item, maybe they just haven't quite decided what it will be just yet.

(Enthusiasm) “Alright” now that it is official about the CE, and the fact that Gamestop has it up on their site is something of a small joyous occasion. Unfortunately it is interesting how EB has not picked up on it yet, (given the fact they have almost become one in the same store) but in some time they will probably post it online. I hope this time the retail outlets over here actually do a pre-order on Nighfall CE this time.

argh still waiting for ingame CE content info )
my hope that special feature like was divine aura/dancers WILL BE FOR ALL!!! PROFESSIONS is still alive :P

And also, look at the fact that PC Gamer is giving away a mini-pet. That's @ $7 for a mini-pet, with NO extra goodies. (Of course, I'll still buy the magazine, as I would have bought the Factions CE had I known the Dragon was going to come with it...
Knightsaber Sith
Even though the profits would be going toward Anet; it's still practically like buying ebay gold. People should have to earn gold to buy what they want; not get it for paying a little extra. The CE bonuses should all be non-monetary; it's unfair to people that just scrape together the money for the standard edition. Anet is alway worrying about balance and making sure people don't have an advantage just from grinding for hours; well they shouldn't have an advantage for paying an extra $20 either. I love the CE bonuses; but they should be things like emotes that you can really show off; but don't give you an actual advantage over the standard edition.

But I actually do agree with you. I think since this mini-pet was done last minute, they probably didn't anticipate the selling of them, or didn't think the prices would be as high as they were/are. I would have been just as happy with a customized pet.

Hell, since mini-pets are basically birthday presents, those with multiple accounts / more character slots have a intrinsic advantage already, if you really believe that more money in this game gives you any real advantage.
There are very few things that a regular player can't afford that will give them some sort of gaming advantage. I know, I know uber-rare Golds, but really, is that a game-breaker for you?
Knightsaber Sith
Considering that mini pet will come from a magazine that costs a little over 5 bucks; and as soon as people start showing them off everyone will want to go out and buy the magazine for themselves; I'd be surprised if anyone was able to get 10k for that pet whatever it turns out to be.
I guess I'm just the rare kind of person that never gets run or power lvl'd. I just don't like when they just hand something to you without having to work for it. Of course, cool bonus items are always acceptable

granted nothing is stopping a paragon from using a scythe...
the henchies are obviously not done quite yet as we can also see... so its still just speculation, even from the screenshots on those german fansites...

Oh, and levortex, I completely separate myself from any stupid assumptions I made about the price of Guild Wars in Euros. I know nothing about the subject, and was foolish to even enter the conversation.

now everyone stop talking about an irrelevant magazine promo in the CE thread
lol
Batou of Nine
Quoted from EBgames.com::
So far as i can tell, there is NO news on whether or not the CE will have ANY additional in game content like the other chapters had for their CE's. If this is the case i will be purchasing the basic Nightfall game with the Bonus Pack. This combo is not only cheaper then the CE, but i also get additional in game content: a third character slot, trial key for a friend and 2 in-game items. As far as other things, you can see you get tons of other stuff too!
From what is listed, all i get with the CE are non-in-game...JUNK!! Skill pins, who cares? Soundtrack CD, umm, just play the game? Behind the Scenes: Making of the Game DVD, i'd rather play the game, k thx. Map, poster, art book, umm pretty much the same as offered with the Bonus Pack. So tell me again, why the CRAP would i wanna spend more money on the CE then the Game + Bonus Pack combo?!?!?!?! If they don't release news real soon about the CE in-game features, then they will lose a LOT of potential pre-order CE buyers, since they offer little/pitiful incentive. YA, so ill be pre-ording the Combo pack unless i hear other things...
So whatcha all gonna be doing? Cheers!
(EDIT:: I posted this also in the Pre-Sell Pack thread rather then create a whole new thread for my ideas, thx!)

well if youve seen ebay lately, the skill pins are going for a LOT of money...
personally, Im really happy i.ll get some skill pins! Even if I wasnt a collector of many things, I could easily sell them on ebay to cover the extra cost of the CE... (its not like selling gold or items, these are real-world collectables)
The little extras sound pretty nice this time around (even tho noone seems to know WTH the character standee is :P but Im sure more excited about that than I was the "factions sticker set and mouse pad" lol)
id be sure that they would have some kind of in-game emote effect, otherwise they would break tradition.
maybe itll be a totally new emotes, like if you have a CE Paragon you can /burning visual, or something like that...
"how do you get backup dancers?"
"buy the CE"
now will be:
"why are you on fire?"
"buy the CE"
similar to the 'rank' emotes, but tailored to paragons and dervishes each specifically... and have them be sustainable emotes, like /dance or /excited or /bowhead are.

I dunno what i'll be doing... Probably nothing, cause this whole pre-order, pre-release, bonus pack, collectors edition, starter kit junk is all way too confusing. I wish they could get all their info on one official page, and simplify their wording of things.
I'll probably just wait to buy anything until oct 27th when the game is actually released, and I can grab one from my local game store. Although I would pre-order CE or Bonus pack if I was sure what I was paying for.
