When I purchase Factions, I had a HIGH tolerance of patience ... waiting...and waiting ...for two weeks after the release on April 28,2006 because I was looking foward for the awesome in-game emotes. My reasons (and I am sure a handful of us feel the same way) for purchasing the collector edition that was release in both Prophecies and Factions was due to the emotes.

QUESTION: Will there be a special emote included in the collector edition for Nightfall?

If not, I will use that $20 dollars I saved ...to buy 20 tacos.

i am waiting until i know this myself and also what it is.

if it has effects on all classes like my Divine Aura i will get it.

if it only has effects on the 2 new classes it will have to be VERY good before i get it

I am being patient and waiting for information too as well as reading the Collector's Edition thread that already exists. But I'm sure your taco money will be the straw that makes them respond!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMO, Anet has to keep some stuff under their hat to build suspense.

I'm almost positive the CE will have some sort of in-game bonus. If not, Anet will lose sales...

I can't believe that people are paying $20 just to have a special emote. If all you want is special emotes, maybe they should save their money on printing soo many CE packages and just offer the emote in the guild wars store.

personally, I am paying the extra $20 for the art book, the other stuff is bonus.

I hope the soundtrack allows for triggers within the game. Because otherwise, its no use to have it and still having to pay DirectSong for better music.

Wait till A-Net confirm if it will have in-game items or emote. Looking at past Collector Edition, you could bet that Nightfall CE has to have something in-game.

Divine Aura lasts the whole game the art book gathers dust.

just my own preference and whatever floats your boat as long as you dont sink mine.

I am sure many of you would agree with me that Guild Wars Prophecies was among the best in terms of CE:

Guild Wars Prophecies

-Guild Wars soundtrack CD
-a full-color art book
-Speakeasy Teamspeak with 3 months of free service
and an exclusive in-game item: the Divine Aura emote
-**a Guild Wars Logitech headset

~Nothing better than a Logitech headset, an in game emote for all characters, sountrack CD, and artbook!

I prefer something that I am going to USE..instead of cardboard accessories (calender, stickers, Character standee, pins)

I think it would be impossible to top Prophecies CE with the mighty divine aura. Just imagine campaign 6, everyone just joining the game will be awe struck by the mighty divine aura and they will never be able to get it themselves. And we can show off that we've been here since the beginning.

p.s. If they ever put divine aura in the ingame store...... heads will roll! >_<

Hmmm, how much do you think they could sell that for?

Seriously, I doubt Anet would ever do that. But, they might offer another bonus to all characters in a future CE.

I'm ready to buy 2 CE copies (1 for me and my better half), but I DON'T want to wait 2 weeks past the actual launch date before getting them. My question: Is ANET taking any steps to prevent the Factions-CE-fiasco from happening again?

I have so many headsets laying around that were free for some reason or another, getting another one didn't really get me that excited. However, the Divine Aura is by far the best emote so far. The dancers are cool, but since they are only for 2 classes, they just arn't that great.

I havent bought the CE for either and i dont plan on starting now, especially not with what they have revealed so far. It just doesnt look as good as the Prophecies CE. The Factions one was ok but Prophecies was the best thanks to that Headset. Even though i didnt get it i would of preferred that over a cardboard stand up.

i liked both CE, i have both. The headphones where a good idea, but they are too small for my big head. Also i looke for us to find more infromation down the line on the website, till then are going to have to wait and see.

Dunno but i ordered Nightfall CE. It will be my first CE and im excited either way. I doubt they will add the Divine Aura to it though. I personally think it was a huge Thank You for trusting Anet. I mean afterall you were sorta taking a chance with buying the CE at the time. It was something new and all and it was never a guarantee hit. So in a way its a rare gift.

Ah the sparkling fairy dust did not do anything for me (just joking), I like the art books though very interesting only if they were labeled (by what concept they were). Also mudy you can actually buy up to 40 “Jack in the Box” taco’s for $20 bucks (I know that was irrelevant).

Meh, I get the CE for the soundtrack, though I've enjoyed the art books too. Everything else is just a bonus and doesn't affect my decision to purchase it.

i got the factions ce for the artbook, nothing else in the package came close to the aura and the headset and special dance emotes for just 2 classes was very very disappointing, i was so looking forward to bone minions doing the thriller dance with my female necro. if only theyd add factions ce dances for other classes too since the aura effects the assassin and rit.

they should add aura to the shop though, its not everyones fault they hadnt heard of gw from the start or bought the standard instead of the ce not knowing it was available

Just what i was thinking, what is a mini-character standee? Maybe an in-game minipet of some sort of yourself i hope

Im also curious about the prerelease bonus pack because it says: in-game renders of characters and items.... this could also be some kind of in-game bonus thing i hope

If anyone have insider info please come forward!

Ingame renders just means pictures of stuff rendered with the game engine.
Basically just showing off some of the new skins to whet your appetite.

I want the Factions CE just for that artbook, but I was very disappointed that if I had waited only my Rit and Assassin would recieve the Factions emotes.

I think I'm going to wait a bit on Nightfall to see if I'm going to waste my hard-earned-could-be-better-spent-elsewhere money on this CE.

Maybe I'll buy tacos too if it doesn't have some cool emote...

the only thing to make factions ce better would be to have back up dancers for all classes. The art books are cool, I liked prophecies CE better, but I am happy with both and cant wait for nightfall CE.

the art book was disappointing for factions, they filled in alot of it with sorrows furnace concept art... not somethin i hate but i didnt want it. they were missing ALOT of factions concept artwork in it... seriously. the mini standee is literally trash, i will throw that away..it has no use, not even worth putting on top of my right speaker.... i got my factions calendar ontop of my left speaker, that was useful...

seriously, dvd behind scenes is nice, I will watch that a few times, but i want emote stuff along with it, what good is buying CE without being able to show that you got it?... honestly it should follow the same pattern of original and factions at least (even tho backup dancers was for JUST Ass/Rit ..and proph CE = all professions get an aura...

)

noticing the posts about mini standee, there was a picture of a nika standee from the last game convention thingy, its dumb. its the size of two full sized hands and its just some cardboard character. boring.

Edit: yeah your not the only one (above me)

and yes, i may change my mind and get tacos too

Anet better release some info on this, or they're going to lose a lot of customers to Taco Bell

I realize though, that they can't have every CE add a in-game emote for all classes, just because think of how crazy your character would look if you tried to do well...any emote. We have flaming hands now, next we'll have flaming boots, and then lightning eyes and angel wings, and the backup dancers and it would all be a big mess and probably hurt your eyes to look upon...

I think if they continue with the in-game emotes, that it will be like Factions and be for the special new classes only. I think the Divine Aura though, will continue to be available to every new class.

I think that maybe they should add a new emote for CE buyers in some of the future chapters. Like /falldown or some dumb new emote that we can spam and make people whisper us asking how we did it

While poking through the Sardelic section, I thought about how Anet would have to make a new emote for each campaign and I realized something. It would be a pain to try to think of a new emote each time, so instead it seems logical that they might just give every campaign backup dancers for it's new classes. A new emote would be nice, but the backup dancers is just a logical guess; and it's better than nothing.......
