Well its a new minipet from PC Gamer magzine,so how do u get it?
Deacon Roswell
Buy the magazine and enter the special code.
Cherno
Also read the instructions ont he page that gives you the code. It holds all the secrets. Don't forget to read the part in big type that says it is only available during the pve preview and then after the official launch (that means you can't get it right away or after this weekend)

They're betting on it paying off with the sales of Nightfall, since now people are going to want to get their minipet, and they can only do that if they buy nightfall. So it's a sales strategy after all.

I have a question...I bought two copies of the nov. pcgamer can I enter both codes in? I already put one in, but haven't tried the other one yet.

I'm afraid it's only one per account.
Crystal Alice
okay everyone. it says that you can only enter one code per account... so you can't have multiple Gray Giants on just one account. Also, it says in the magazine that after the preview event, once Nightfall officially comes out in October, you will be able to enter the code again and do the quest to get the Giant.
hope this helped

I don't see anywhere in this magazine where it says only one per account. So now I'm stuck with an extra code and I can't even auction it off!

It isnt a rule they made up for the magazine code.

It says to type /bonusitems in when Nightfall comes out. Slight catch, I also have the nightfall bonus pack where you can get the Sunspear and Soulbreaker. If I type the code in, will I get the quest and another pair of those weapons?

Does anyone know if the code is in the Uk edition of PC Gamer ? I picked up the November issue today but havn't spotted it yet.
Could be on the dvd I guess, I havn't checked out all the files yet.
Thanks

Alex has stated he should have info on the gray giant for Europe sometime this week. No one in Europe has it yet; no need to ask.

Also note when you get the code, KEEP THE PAGE!!!
If you used it during the Nightfall event it says you'll have to RE-ENTER your code to have /bonusitems give the Broken Toy again.
Your SOL if you throw the magazine away.

I haven't gotten the magazine yet am a little hesitant. I know it comes with a minipet which is a huge incentive, but I mostly wanted to get the magazine in order to find out more about Nightfall before it comes out. Now that the pve event has passed, is there really much more info in the magazine that I wouldn't have already learned from the pve event? I would like to know, because this is currently preventing me from getting the magazine....

The Magazine IS unclear about this though
, mostly in its placement of that statement.

Thanks for the information Knightsaber look forward to hearing more about a UK code soon.
Hi Gamecube
The Nightfall Prevew in the UK Nov PC Gamer is a single page with 3 images, it briefly outlines the improvements made to the game.
ie the hero system and has a basic description of the 2 new classes,rightfall isnt part of the review section.
Had I not played the preview event the article would have interested me but told me little.
Personally I loved the event and see great possibilities for both new classes.
The Hero system also worked well.

Much more in-depth article in the North American release of the magazine. Well worth the $10 for me, but it's only $10. I don't see the crisis in such a lavish expediture.
Neo Nugget
Yeah i bet the minipet will be worth 50k-70k...nothing more........cuz its not as special as kunnvang.

Yes, actually there was a long review on the American PC Gamer... in bold letters under one of the picture says
"It's better to push then to start off too timidly. That's not very exciting," says Daniel Dociu, ArenaNet's Art Director, describing his approach to designing the exciting new environs and creature sof Guild Wars Nightfall. One of the artists on his tream is holding up a piece of conecpt rat drawn by Dociu; its a tall, multi-linmbed monster that somewhat resmsebles a handful of grasshoppers stuffed inside a trench coat.
Btw... Some of the pictures here are really amazing. Monsters such as Desolation Giant Yeti, Marganite Paragon, Bush Toad, Boarilla, Living Land Treenormous, Realm of Torment Mesmer, Vabbi Griffon
One remrak I laugh about is "...But the most deadly of all is the Bush Toad, which makes a habit of staring up Dervish's skirts" (Btw, the BUsh Toad is looking up in the sky, thats why)
Another article you guys may want to talk about is "...Pools of water and lush flora decorate the landscape as befits the opulent nature of Vabbi, the home of the wealthiest Elonians... At one point, however, you will return to Vabbi that is quit different. Nearly Consumed by evil, its immense towers-formerly pristine-have crumbled. The ksy has gone dark, the vegetation destroyed, and the earth cracked.
Sounds like a Nightfall-Searing in Vabbi to me. I can't wait ><

$10 for the magazine I agree its not much but the point is what do you get for your $10 and what else you could get.
In the Uk most computer magazines with cds or dvds sell for £5-99 which is close to the US price.
My gaming tends to circle around GW type games Flight sims and first person shooters.
Over the years I have read many a review of rpg and flightsims where it becomes blindingly obvious that the reviewer is either
1 totally inexperienced in that style of game or 2 doesnt like that type of game.
That's the reason I only buying a magazine when there is something in it I definitly want, in this case a review and demo of dark messiah which would prove very time consuming to download.
As for what else I could get for $10 well how about an extra slot for gw, I have 7 and intend to get another, then I can have one for each character class.
