I saw and was going to post, but oh well. Who likes the idea of the Hero vs. Hero aspect? This will be my first attempt at getting a collector's edition. I've missed my opprotunity with Factions and Prophecies. Let us all celebrate!

I would think so. It sounds like it'll be a global release. I hope they do. All should enjoy the goodies involved with the CE.

They dont' have anything ingame listed as comming with the CE; but it says "and more" so they might not have decided what it will be yet. So Tyria had 25 missions, Cantha 13, and Elona 20. I'd say 20 should be a more satisfying amount of pve content.

Gotta rememebr Cantha had 13 required missions, but if you count the two elite missions, aspenwood and the quarry, dragons throat, and the other 4 faction based missions theres really 20.

I said pve content though. The elite missions and challenge missions are just farming and Aspenwood and all that is pvp. Not pve content.

but then again some of the Nightfall missions might be stupid non-pve missions too.....

So anyone figure out what the speical thing for the CE is going to come with, like the first one had the glowy hands and factions had the backup dancers, what will Nightfall CE come with? Not that it matters cause i will get it anyways cause i got the first too.

As I mentioned earlier; the CE contents list doesn't mention any ingame items. But the list does end with "and more" so I'd guess they just haven't decided what it will be yet.

With Nightfall Released Oct 27 I'm thinking that it would be a pretty safe guess that if they have a Halloween event again this year that it will be held in Tyria. I would think that so soon after the release of Nightfall they'd still be focused on getting out the final bugs and all this and that... but we'll see.. either way I just thought that was interesting

I was thinking just the opposite. The Factions Tengu event shows that they like to start a new release with an event, and Oct 27 coincides with Halloween perfectly.

When Nightfall releases, they don't want people mucking around in Tyria and not buying Nightfall. I'm expecting Halloween to be either completely or mostly in Elona. I'll bet the mad king will visit the Elona newbie city instead of LA.

Whoo hooo! Rock on!

I'm curious why buying CE is worth it? You pay $30 extra for what exactly?

The highly-coveted, limited run, Collector's Edition will include the Guild Wars Nightfall game as well as a Making of Guild Wars Nightfall behind-the-scenes DVD, a collector's art book, collectible skill pins, a character mini-standee, a poster-sized map of Elona, the Guild Wars Nightfall soundtrack CD, and more.

Like those cardboard cutouts of people, only much smaller.

I hope they add something that is global to all chars like the original C.E. glowy hands thing, otherwise I'll probably not be ordering the C.E. this time round.

I think this one's going to be a testing one for Anet, if they screw this one up too (i.e. there is general disquiet a la Factions) probably people will stop buying future chapters. Yes yes, I know some liked Factions but a significant number didn't.

nope, not enough for me to pre-order, I got burned once----and they have said nothing to change my mind in that press release.....will wait for it to come out (or for more info to be released).......patience is a virtue and I will use it now!

Agreed. Although, the Skill Pins, making of DVD, and mini-standee are very tempting, I'd like to see an in-game special feature so I can show off on-line I bought the CE. I didn't buy the CE of Factions, though, so I feel i can splurge this time 'round.

Well, at least keep from buying new chapters the minute they are released.

As long as GW stays free, I'll continue to play it. There's stuff I haven't even done in Prophecy, much less Factions, and now Nightfall. I could probably afford to skip a Chapter, but I just can't resist!

It's $20 extra; USD anyway; maybe you mean crazy Canada funny money or something. Why it's worth it is all the cool stuff it comes with. Also, the CE is limited pressing so if you change your mind later and want the stuff then; it'll probably be too late. The last two campaigns also had cool ingame stuff you could show off and confuse noobs.

I like the professions much better this time round than last time, so I may go for the CE. I'm pretty stingy when it comes to special/collector editions of anything. It has to be something good for me to purchase it.

newbie-esque question: i have never gotten a pre-order before. will the pre-order out sept 15 be completely playable on sept 15 or do we have to wait for oct 27? do we have to get any other stuff from the store later on or is everything included on sept 15? sorry if this is confusing.
