Saw it weeks ago when it was first announced from the GWFC..... and in case you're wondering, it's a Dervish not a Paragon.

either way, i am not going to be able to get it when it first comes out. i am going to be underway (in the navy). so i am going to have to get it when i get back. thinking ingame store to do that. i'm worried about the game, no emotes or anything like that. that's just me, though.

I can't wait until Nightfall CE comes out :P I figure, giving an extra 20 bucks to keep my fav. game online is a good enough reason :P:P But I do love all that extra stuff! lol

Thank You.

I am now the "proud" owner of Nightfall CE.

Hopefully you will be able to "stack" the Emotes (Example: /dance [Enter] /dancenew)

Wait, Ships the 26th? 5-7 days Journey... Darn. I had my Factions CE scince the start of the Pre - Order weekened, Could you guys still play Factions untill it arrived 2 weeks later?

Well, with Factions there was a "bonus early start" for those that bought the pre-order of Factions. But it only lasted about 5 days total (they expanded it when the CE was late, so I can't remember the total time exactly. Plus, I bought Factions before the bonus time ran out.)

No word if they'll do the same with Nightfall. There was so much bitching about the whole thing last year, I wouldn't be surpried if they decided not to.

nope

the preorder *early start* was 24 hours only.

they had a *grace period* which extended the number of days before it shut off the Factions content if you didnt add a Factions retail key

Technicalities.

End result: a five day(?) "free play" for those who had the pre-order.

forgive me but here comes another of them (Technicalities)

only free if you were able to cancel your order and did not purchase the game.

since you paid for the game and not a set number of days it wasnt free extra days if you bought it.

how about that for splitting hares (roast rabbit)?

No info yet on what comes ingame? This is kinda disappointing since preorders will soon start being delivered... come on Alex/Gaile, people are waiting on info to decide which version to preorder!

I second the notion.

Never pay RL $ for ingame features that don't affect gameplay.

More skills = worth it.
Flashy emote = not worth it.

Mousemat, Art book (since they only releasee the artwork there), skillpins, soundtrack, DVD of behind the scenes, etc. = worth it

Headset = not worth it since you can just get a GW sticker and put it on a headset yourself.

Anything paper that can just be printed is not worth it...

The CE will be here, no matter what.

I don't really care what's inside, be it a mousemat, calender, pillow, wuppy of pogostick. The reason I'm gonna buy the CE is because I am a collector, and I want stuff that not everybody has. The price really is no problem, since I have a full-time job. Besides, it just looks cool, three CE's on my shelve

Would be nice to get an official answer to this sometime soon. Was going to order the CE + Prerelease pack combo, but not sure I want the CE yet. Well prerelease pack is out now in stores, so first opportunity missed.

The earlier you preorder for many places the better likelyhood you are to be in the first shipment in case they don't have enough stock for all orders. Not knowing the answer to this is potentially delaying the arrival of the game for some people.

I will only get the CE if it includes an ingame emote or dance or something special. All the extra stuff in the box isn't that important to me, I want something to enjoy in game. The stuff in the box is just bonus on top of that.

Anet's not going to stroll in here and tell us. I'd say in all likely hood; we wont know for sure until someone gets their CE box and tells us. Or maybe Anet will update the "and more" section of the contents list a week before it goes live.

You realize of course that the prerelease pack is NOT a preorder pack right? It's a separate retail/bonus pack so it was never meant to be "combo'd" with the CE box. So basically you walk into the store and ask for it, pay your money, and you get it. No fuss no muss no putting down a deposite to reserve your copy of CE. I just bought my bonus pack for $5. So basically, all you had to do was walk into a store a buy it if you wanted it. If you didn't, well that'd be your own fault for the missed opportunity

I was asking Gaile, when she was in Shing Jae two days ago, and she just told me that content of CE that she know will be box, soundtrack etc... and when i asked about CE emotes, she said, that all she know about emotes (in general) is, that Paragorn and Dervish will be given new emotes...

hope they will inform us about CE emotes soon...

Here in America you are right, but in Germany (may be whole Europe?) nearly every store handle it like a pre-order box.

It seems to be always something with Anet: the Factions CE debacle, and now the lack of info on a new dance emote for NF. I'm with Cherno on this. If there's no dance emote, I'm not buying the CE. IMO, they're shooting themselves in the foot by not answering the question.

Customers want info, not vague hints.

This is the only remotely relevant statement I could find from the latest Gaile chat:

and for anyone worried about the Factions fiasco repeating itself:

Yeah, I know they are, that's why I listed them as two things. EB has a combo offer that you can do the preorder and the pack or the CE and the pack. I wanted to do that before the packs became available and would receive the pack early and the other items on shipping release.

But now that the packs are in stores, no need to do that since I can get them at the store if I can find it in town (unlikely). You didn't understand what I wrote.

I agree that the extra content would probably retail for over the 20 bucks you'll be paying for it. Skill Pins alone are probably MSRP of like 5 bucks each, and in today's day and age you can expect to spend 20 bucks just for a 124 page book..

But what it boils down to is people dont want "crap" to clutter their room 90% of the time...They want INGAME proof that they spent the 20 bucks so they can have emotes and such the "scrubs" dont have.

Former Ruling said it, my Canthan map got used infrequently if at all, and only when Factions first came out. Now unless some uber announcement of ingame feature is made for the CE I won't be buying it, hell even the novelty of the dances are wearing off now, SE for me this time I think.

Ill spend the 20 bucks extra...which i went and bought a 5 dollar pre-release pack the other night and pre-ordered my CE, they knocked 5 bucks off because I bought the pre-re pack. So, either way...im stoked
