Yarrrr!

Why do we have three new threads asking where to buy the bonus pack today?


It goes on sale Sep 15. It'll be around 5 bucks. Buy it just about anywhere games are sold.

The pre-release is not the full game. How you get it will vary. It could come when you pre-order or cost you $10 as stand alone. You will still need to purchase the full version of the game to be able to play GW-Nightfall.

It'll most likely be customized for the character your currently logged on when you enter "/bonusitems". Like the weapons from Factions.

You can probably enter "/bonusitems" as often as you like but I think they will be customized, so you'll not be able to sell them.

You can't sell them, they'll be customized........

Well I guess you could try to sell them, doubt anyone'll be that stupid though

Actual GW Site link: http://www.guildwars.com/support/whe...prerelease.php

No UK info on where to get it yet

/edit:

Gameplay now have this:

I assume that preordering from them gets you the pre-release kit although it says keys will be emailed...

did you try google before you made this overly-redundant thread?

or looked at the main website even...

Unless theyve changed things for these items, because I have a Sundering War Pick of Hammer Mastery & My spiritbinder is modded as Hale+Channeling +1 I modded my preorder daggers to be Firey Dragon Fangs too...

Dye should also work going on what i currently have seen-

My Hale Spiritbinder of Channeling has purple wraps now.

This is the exciting part for me- because i really wont need +20% enchant time on my dervish (cut them all short with pious strike)

The sunspear looks good as is- Ima keep my eye out for a Furious spear head tho :P

Now, If they would just change the GW1 preorder items (ithas bow, war pick, etc) to be max damage, I would be one happy guy. (war pick is 8-34 dmg but has bonus health without any mods, meaning a max Hammer Fortitude will give you like 50hp total with it... if thats the reason the dmg sucks lol)

its always hard 2 get infor of new games like nightfall fo info in the UK as were last 2 get normally, its a pain in the arse!!!

It's got +5 energy, so no damage mod.

Preorder items can't even be dragged into a trade window.

Can someone clarify one thing for me?
From EBGame or Gamestop, this prerelease box costs $4.99. So, does that mean we have to pay additional 4.99 to get all those bonus? I remember for Faction, we didn't need to pay extra for those pre-release bonus.

yes you must pay

please remember that the Factions did not include a 9.99 dollar slot as well.

you get the goodies plus a slot for 4.99 so i say it is a bargain at the price.

also it is optional and you can buy the game by itself for the usual price

I can't wait to get the bonus pack!

OMG, I can't believe they are doing this. I know people will say that it's $5 cheaper to get that slot. But money is not the problem here. They totally ruined the meaning of pre-release. We order the game more than a month ahead of release to show our support. But what do we get? A slap in the face. "We don't need your support, we need your $4.99".

yes you have to pay, but you are getting a lot more in this pack than before, including a character slot worth $9.95. So in a way, you are saving money by buying this pack.

And they didn't ruin the meaning of "pre-release" as you said. Why? Becuase this is a seperate product available to buy before the game comes out. You are thinking of a pre-order which is compleatly different. You do not have to pre order the game to get this.

Not necessarily. The EB Games I preordered from does not charge extra.

Its +5 energy instead of 15^50 or anything else of that sort.

Ok just to lay it out for folks, as it seems to be a point of confusion.

1) You can pre-order Nightfall or Nightfall CE with OUT the "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack"

Your game will still be pre-ordered. It'll be shipped to you the date of release (( or even a day or two before in some cases))

If you pre-ordered from a brick and mortor store they will hand it to you on October 26th.

2) You can order Nightfall or Nightfall CE WITH the "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack" For about $5 more than you would with out.

Or

3) Some places you can JUST order the "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack"


Now... I was curious like many of you. I came here today to find the answer and saw noone knew. So I spent a few minutes. Found a PHONE number. Called up. Forced my way past automation and 15 minute wait time and asked.


____IF______ You order Nightfall OR Nightfall CE ___AND_____ The "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack" They will send out the "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack" On September 15th, then on october 26th they'll send out your game. I called and asked a real flesh and blood person this.

So if you order the "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack" with your game, you'll get it mid september, then the full game late october.

The "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack" Does NOT come automaticly if you PRE-ORDER. It's a gimmic. A little teaser. It drums up intrest for the full release.

Think of the "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack" As seeing a preview at the movies. You pay a bit (( A small bit really)) and get the trailer. A few little treats, a mini stratagy guide. Some flashy art.... it wets your appitite.

It either 1) Gets you hyped for the game you already orderd or 2) Makes you want to order the game if you ONLY got the "Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack" .

Sure there is a 3rd option. You don't like it and try and cancel your order, but they're betting on the first two. It's to keep intrest up for another month and a half till the game comes out. Word of mouth. And it puts things in your hands you can show your gaming friends and parents and spouces.

"Look honey! Check out this bitchin' guy with a scythe!! I've GOT to get this game"

Or "Mom! Look at all these cool things, if I get good grades on my report card will you buy me the full game"

Or "Guys... I know you have the first two.. but check out these wicked cool things on the next expansion. We've ALL got to get this and cowboy up!"

If you don't want it? Don't pay the $5 for it. Just get the game. Or don't get either.

Seeing as the char slots go for about $10 it's a deal anyway you shake a stick at it.

Even if you DON'T like it.. it's $5 people.... you pay more for lunch at McDonalds.... Sheesh.

The Factions preorder did have a cost..

But that's not how it works either.

The pre-order (pre-release) package is basically a down payment. When NightFall does come out, you can bring in your recipt (sp?) and get $5 off the game. So your really not loosing money.

No.. The Guild Wars Nightfall Prerelease Bonus Pack is a seperate item you can choose to order or not, with your Pre-ORDER.

It's a little goodie bag you're paying $5 for. It doesn't give you a discount on the game.

Why is that?

What about amazon.co.uk? I'm pretty sure they sell it...

+1 LOLOL

Seriously though... people need to read more carefully before asking questions.

How the feck am I supposed to get this in bonny ald england when it's not on amazon uk and all the game store employees give me a blank face when I enquire about buying this pack =/

Have checked gamestop/ebgames and for some reason there isn't a uk site?! Closest I found is Ireland.....no way I'm paying more for the delivery :/

For above poster.

I can also confirm this and I too am going BLOODY CRAZY >:E

Oh, sorry, I guess i I just didn't read that properly... shame on me.
Well, maybe this will do:

http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/PCm66x43v2pj8/

Not sure which version it actually is, though, for I'm kind of confused over this pre-ordering issue.
I thought you could also get the pre-order extras through pre-ordering the full version... or can't you?

I'm wondering:

*Tempered Steel
*Mebahya Wood
*Ironreed
*Skyquartz

New rare crafting materials?

i'm wondering the same thing. Do they drop or do you trade for these?
If they exist, can you craft them?

By their names you'd suspect tempered steel would be crafted from 10 steel ingots, and some charcoal. mebahya wood from spiritwood? ironreed from... iron or plant fibres? Skyquartz from granite slabs maybe? or not. just speculation.

don't encourage them by answering their questions.

Did one of the devs say that? Because what you are describing is the same as the Factions Pre-order, for which you didn't have to pay extra. It's just a pre-order in the form of a goodie'bag'.

Gameplay appear to be giving it with the Nightfall pre-orders...still awaiting info on whether it's the whole thing as all they mention is the 2 keys (not the mini-guide etc.)

Anet has listed the prerelease bonus pack as a new retail package since the day they announced it, they now use the term "prerelease bonus pack" to differentiate it from the free preorder packs.

Really? May I ask which EB Games is that? Maybe my EB games will do the same. I assumed you ordered in person at a brick store, not online.

YES

and it is NOT a preorder

the devs said it
Anet said it

from Anet site itself on the new RETAIL package (which you can buy separately)

[QUOTE]it has already been confirmed that there is no difference which you get.

think about it.

each server has the exact same game so that region specific versions are not possible

Looks Like it is/will be available at all the usual places, Amazon, ebgames, and gamestop.

I wish they would use walmart. So people in rural areas without a gamestore can still get to it without providing a credit card.

check if www.game.net will be having them in stock
