lol Sith, its ok.

Anyway, "Nightfall special dances" - Speculation Arises either its Paragon and Dervish dances, or what since they didnt say specifically.

Hmmm, mini-Varesh

I love the default dervish dance and can't wait to see the special e-motes.

Eye-candy is good.

Signature daces could just mean that they dance, lets face it all characters have a signature dance already, my neco moshes, my ranger breakdances, each dance being unique to the class, and therefore a "signature dance"

Thats an awesome idea, selling the CE Emotes! I'd buy Divine Aura for sure.

Well this is how Factions backup dances are listed in key management:

so........ yeah.


^If they do start selling emotes; they should only sell them while the CE for that campaign is still in print.

soul shrieker? is that GotY? Damn Sith im jealous. Your Heros are going to be pimptastic in Nightfall you have more /bonusitems than me!

At least now I have no doubt in my mind that Paragon and Drevihs will get CE emote dances.

Here is a list of what most US-players have available (minus the capt-america shield):

so we're thinking that Nightfall will have special emote since it didn't say Signature Dance or anything in the account?

The point being made is that
sig dances = special CE emote
and signature dances are listed as CE contents for Nightfall on the official site.

by most you mean the people who have goty edition right?

You dont have a War Pick, Censor's Icon, Ithas Bow, The Necro Preorder item (cannot remember what its called, my guildie has it) and as you said, the Canthan Targe. Those are the preorder items from the original.

And am I reading that right, that you bought the goty AND the CE?


EDIT-

They had better never sell divine aura and backup dancers in the store. It would be a stab at those of us that actually Have been here since the beginning...

Yes, that is correct. The GotY edition can still be bought by most GW-players for about $50USD. The original pre-order items you mentioned aren't as readily available anymore, though their sub-max stats make them less than optimal.

The only pre-order item I regret not having is the Chimeric Prism -- it was exclusive to Europe. If it gets re-released a future edition (like the GotY items), then I'll definitely jump at it.

Yes, that is correct... GotY and all 3 CE's (Nightfall CE incoming).

EDIT: Sorry for the topic-derail... back to original topic plz.

I second that notion, a shame that it was a Europe only item

who cares about a stupid emote or dance? use it 15 times and its old. plus u can just watch hordes of people doing it anyway, why go with the crowd? i just ordered CE for the fact that i could. who cares about an extra 20 bucks? spending 20 bucks is like finding 1g in gw. if anything CE's should come with cooler looking spell animations. all the spells in the game look retarded, even diablo 2's spells looked cooler. especially fire spells, they dont look like fire at all! maybe anet should like, add flames or something? not smudgy looking orange stuff. look at how cool ff7's spells were when it came out! gw spells leave something to be desired!

But does it ever get old when someone messages you and says "Whoa, cool how do you do that??"

Even now I always get people asking about my "glowy hands"

Everytime someone messages me about it, it means they like it, and want it.. just like the pumpkin mask or Tengu mask.. or any of the pets..

It makes your character different and gives you some individuality, and if noone cares so much, why do such things go for such a high price??

Looks and characteristics are everything in an rpg making it priceless and timeless..

well, they WOULD be timeless but now that ANET are stripping the DA from all future chapters characters its gona get pretty lame =[

I still love watching my rit dance with her spirits, and I still get people that stop and stare at my rit while she dances in towns/outposts. It is one of the reasons I bought the Factions CE, along with the soundtrack and the artbook, which is amazing to look through.

I still get the occasional "showoff" comment, but I couldn't care less.

We don't know for sure that will actually be true when it goes live.

hmmm, I think we do know this for sure.

It was there on the Factions Preview Event, but not in the Nightfall event, so they must have made a concious and deliberate decision to remove it.

Also, when questioned about it, Gaile said something along the lines of "I never thought we would get it for factions, and always saw it as an un-expected bonus"

If Gaile doesnt "expect" it then there really is no reason for anyone else too.

If they did take it out it's probablly because of people that didn't get the Prophecies CE whining that they can't get divine aura. But I'd still wait til it goes live to see what's going on.

or maybe because of people whining that expansion packs CE give emotes only to 2 new profs and Prophecies CE was about to give it to all profs...

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

That's what I was thinking.
Art book + Making of DVD and soundtrack??? *splooge*
In-game eyecandy sure is a nice add-on though, but I'm an art freak, and a materialist (in a sense), soooo, I'm down with whatever I can add to my collection.

The particle effects of Divine Aura are not all characters by default -- they had to be impelemented code-wise. Therefore, we can only wait to see what makes it into the final Nightfall release version. Also keep in mind that the game gets patched all the time, so even if DA doesn't make it into the Nightfall official release, it might still get added in future patches depending on ANET's Dev-team.

There are still a few Prophecies-CE copies floating out there (I got mine around June 2006). Just be ready to pay a VERY steep price for it if you really want it.

I think they should sell pre-order ITEMS only, in the store. (They'd be added to your account) Maybe for 99 cents each. Mind you, ever pre-order item ever made; From Taiwan, Japan, China, North America, and Europe.

As much as I would love to get DF, I cant see them ever doing that since it would reduce the incentive for people to buy the CE in the first place.

yea it would be cool... and i don´t mind if they just copy effects from dervish/paragon dance and put into old chars randomly...

it would be cool... big dance party with all chars involved
but it is utopia, we know that

Ow yeah, and I was too late for the Guildwars CE, so I missed the Divine Aura,
but I actually agree that they should not sell it in the ingame store...
That's just not fair for people who DID buy the CE...

EDIT: Sorry for the replying, Taala, missed that ...

I've seen Prophecies-CE go for up to £450 on eBay. While there's about 25 sitting down at a Computer Exchange (CEX) in London for only £15. Go figure.

As for the Nightfall-CE, if you're British, order it from Amazon.co.uk. At the moment, it's cheaper than the normal version by 4p. £17.96 for CE, £17.99 for Regular. Cool, huh?

I bought CE only for the emote. I just entered the code and took a look at the pins. The rest is untouched. I wonder if I should take a look at the DVD sometime...
