I think you are confused sir.
All characters on your account can spawn both weapons and they are automatically customized.
Any Stores carrying Nightfall Prerelease yet?

erm, every character gets those items, and they are customized.
this whole fiasco is such a mess...it was awful for factions with the preorder box, and apparently the situation hasnt improved.

At least we don't need the pre-release box right away.
I mean, as long as we get it when the game comes out for the bonus slot and weapons, of course.
But, maybe, just maybe, Anet should tack a week onto their "release date".
EDIT: Uh, why is the sunspear facing backwards?!?
NM. I see, so when he raises it overhand, it's facing the right way...

My IW Me/Mo is having a blast doing mass damage to several targets at same time with her Scythe. I'd have to have W as secondary to do the same with an axe (cyclone axe)
My presearing R/Mo does 40+ dmg with the scythe. And around 20ish with the spear.
So yes I'm trying to make good use of them already!

I hope the UK retailers are better informed about how the whole preorder/bonus pack thing works this time around, when factions came out I was just met with blank faces in the 3 big retailers I visited when I tried to do the preorder thing for factions. I ended up picking a retail copy up on release day (after I found out my CE wasn't arriving in time).

Gamestop 1
The manager said he does not even see a order number for it.
Gamestop 2
Well we don't have a sque for it are you sure it’s to be released?
Walmart
Guild Wars huh? What’s Guild Wars is that playstation?
EB Games
We did not get any in however you are the 14th person to come in or call about it.
Target
We don't see it in the system.
Best Buy
We might get it in next week
Camp USA
We see it in the system but do not have any in stock.
Well I guess this is something we can look forward to with NightFall release.
NC Soft does not have a clue it seems. I don't blame ANET one bit.

Yowzers Batman! I know yesterday in a different thread someone was asking about the music tracks on the bonus pack disc and someone said there was only one song. I just popped the disc in and there's 8 full length tracks. On the American disc anyway.

2 BB, no luck, Target, no luck. I will just wait till the weekend, mabey go out tommarow and look around. I got a bad felling. Oh and i live in IL, which is a big state, so you would figure they would be smarter.

It is entirely up to the retailers how they use the packs to promote the product.

Conversation:
Me- "Hi. I'd like to prelease Guild Wars Nightfall Collector's Edition with the Starter or prerelease kit."
Sales guy- "Starter???, like a starter kit for PC or for GW Nightfall?"
Me- "Yes, let me go find the printout from Gamestop.com."
*digs in pockets
Sales guy - "Uh, we don't have that in our system."
Me- "What is there?"
Sales guy - "GW: Nightfall Collector's Edition and GW: Nightfall Regular. Maybe it is an online only offer."
*hands printout from Gamestop.com
Me- "Here, I found the info."
Sales guy - *reads the prerelease part ALOUD
Me (thinking WTF does the whole line have to know I'm preordering GW?)
Me- "Well isn't Gamestop.com the same as (this) store?"
Sales guy - "sometimes there are online only offers but you can preorder Collector's Edition and we'll save you whatever extras they send us if there is any left"
Me (thinking, if there is any left =yeh right)-
Sales guy - "You could order it online..."
Me- "I don't want to wait for them to send it and pay extra shipping. I'll come back next week and maybe it will come to the store."
Sales guy - "Here's the business card to call before coming in."
*I leave after taking business card and my printout
Basically I held the line for 20 minutes b/c Gamestop = clueless.
I will check back next week... -.-

If it was online only you would see the onlien only box like here

Do you need the bonus pack or preorder nightfalls to get the preview weekend? Best Buy here says they won't have it until the 24th and the preview is the 22nd. So what do you have to do to play on the 22nd?

And how is your Ranger doing 40+ damage?!? I thought you had to have minumum reqs to do that kind of dam.
Back on topic: I called Comp USA here. They have it in their system (shock!) But I have to order it. $6.49. Can I order over the phone? No, I have to order in person, pay up front. 5-6 days delivery.
Checked Comp USA on the internet: Nightfall's not even in there! This is so messed up, it's not even funny.

And they also announced it specifically as a seperate retail package about two months before it went on sale and recieved much debate in the Nightfall section.

I just picked one up for $4.99 CND. I was expecting to pay $15. I'd say this was well worth the extra char slot, even if it won't be active until I have nightfall installed. I'm in dire need of a mule ^^
And about the preorder thing, I don't believe ANET ever said it had anything to do with preorder. They said it was a BONUS pack. Think of it like buying a prima guide before the game comes out.... only unlike the prima guide, the bonus pack is actually useful for something other than toilet paper.

Boy I really hope NC Soft gets this all sorted out as I would hate to see this as Nightfall release test run.
I Remember the RED ENGINE! RED ENGINE! with the Factions release and this situation is not helping my confidence.

The preorder is for your benefit, not the companies. It's so you can guarantee that you have a copy on the date that it's released. A preorder tells the company absolutely nothing about how many copies they will sell. There are many people that drop money on a preorder and never buy the game.
I understand that in the past people have received free items for preordering. But does that mean that they are obligated to provide us with free stuff?

Thats why most companies give thse packages away so they see how their sales will be and at least have an idea of how many are needed for release day. There is a bigger picture to it and why they do it and i think charging for this bonus is bs.

Anyone know if we get it free when you order it like factions.
Edit: Never mind. I just found out from HMV.

I saw this; and I just had to share it
Rocketar Energy
Not that I'm in a rush to get a pre-release item....I mean...really..its only a cd with some (8) music tracks and extras and booklet and a couple of free items and....and ...ok..so I lied..I do want it....and based on their press release on their own site, ANet wanted to get the package on store shelves by today. (they did use the word 'expected' so I will give them that) I had planned on picking it up today to tinker with...but NCSoft (as someone pointed out above) are the distributers, and didn't get the "word" out apparently. No one where I live knows anything about it. I did the "rounds" today just after 2:00 and hit every store I could think of using my own eyes (never can tell if the person on the phone is being lazy, knows what you are saying, or even really checking) and nothin. Ah...well...maybe for Guild Wars: Sunrise they will have this all sorted out. (I say get rid of the pre-release....make whatever you have to show us downloadable or something...)..... /sigh /pout

Best Buy here in Michigan said 24th at the earliest and they are only getting 10 of them.
EB Games guy number one: what the heck is guildwars?
EB Games guy number 2: Yeah that other guy is an idiot, it is coming in on tuesday.
Why is it so hard to actually release something on its release date? I can't remember the last time I was actually able to get any new game on release day without driving 4 hours to an extremly large city to find it. It's not like I live out in the country or something.....

I talked to my local EB and Gamestop...they never even heard of the pre release pack and i find this kinda weird. Just hope they eventually get it cuz i wanna get it b4 the actual game....not really pre-release it comes out on the same day now is it?
Knightsaber Sith
Your Bestbuy only getting ten? yikes
I'm glad I got mine when I did. It was like an hour after the store opened, being a week day I didn't think I had to rush really, but there were only three copies left.

Well I just checked with Amazon and they say they are out of stock.
NOT ONE Video Game store in my area near Los Angeles has any clue what this item is. Both Gamestop and EB Games now tells me (in a call back) it will ship with my order on Oct 26th.
I have now called and checked over 35 possible video game outlets. You would think that in one of the largest cities in the United States of America you could find this item.
Anyone else pissed off about this cluster f#uk?

Heh it sounds like EB/Gamestop's canned line for anything that they don't know the answer to is "Uh... maybe that's an online only offer."
Would you like fries with that?
And yes, I'm a little irked. I'm in one of the geek capitals of the US here myself, you'd think people would have a clue. :P
