Nightfall Q&A Thread: Pre-order and Retail

Sergeant, my game-card says: GWNF-UK-SC. So yeah, your good ^^

I bought a regular GWNF copy incase you wondered :P

Thanks Cracko, do the card the cards look he same with a paragon in front? Kind of misleading because it's not very obvious >.<

Yes, mine has a paragon in front, nightfall logo, game activation card in left bottom.

On the other side is the scratch thingy, and GWNF-UK-SC

Do we know anything about when it's going to go live in the online store? I'd like to get it as soon as possible, and there's no EBGames or Gamestop in my town, and I doubt the only store that might have it... will have it tomorrow. Or today, for that matter, even though I'm going to check today.

Can I buy Nightfall from the in-game NCSoft store?

Yes, Nightfall will be available via the Official (online) Store on October 27, 2006.

there ya go

Hehe, thanks. I feel stupid now - I read through that thing three times and missed that question each and every time.

Ok, so I was looking at the differences between the CE and standard edition and one of the things that I am uncertain about is reagrding the "signature dances"

Will all classes have a special dance emote with a new dance signature move or will be basically just for the Paragon and Dervish? I am guessing this will be like the Rit's special dance with the spirits and orb of light thing. I'd be really happy to be able to have my ranger and other characters have a new signature dance move, but if it is just for the two new classes or whatever, then i might just get the Standard edition. Its sort of unclear. Anybody have any idea?

One of Gaile's comments on sounds like it's just Dervish/Paragon.

The new update gave me my two slots that come with the Nightfall key.

However, I'm still not getting the 3rd one you're supposed to get with the nightfall pre release disc. will it be added when the game goes live, or what?

Probablly when it goes live.

I feel sad. I got an email from gamestop stating they were shipping out copies of NF on the 25th. Today I come home to no package (payed for overnight) and I look on the site to see they are shipping them today. When I check the status of my order it says "normally ships within 24 hours" which worries me, if it shipped today shouldn't it say "shipped" as I ordered it a week ago and it's had more than enough time to process.

If it doesn't come tomorrow I will be very very sad.

I pre-ordered from Newegg...got nothing

I pre-ordered from Sendit, they shipped it last Friday and I still got nothing...

I got a message today:
Your copy will be shipped 31 oct 2006, and will arrive in 7 days.

CD-wow, what a shame, more then 10 days delay.

I have a quick question that I hope someone can answer. I purchased Guild Wars the day it was released (Collector's Edition... needed those dance moves! ), but I never really played it to its fullest, and I did not purchase Factions, nor have I purchased Nightfall... yet. I *finally* found the time to devote the proper time to it, and I am loving it. I now fully intend to purchase both Factions and Nightfall within the week, and here is where my question comes in. I know you can transfer your character from Prophecies to the others, but if I play Factions first, can my character FREELY go between Prophecies and Factions, or once I transfer him, is he "stuck" in the Factions setting? Do I need to "complete" Prophecies before moving onto Factions? The same goes, of course, for Nightfall, which I am looking forward to far more than Factions. If I got that first, and played for a few hours, could I go out and purchase Factions, transfer to that, then, say, back to Prophecies, finish some quests there, then back to Nightfall, etc.?

Thanks for any input that can be provided!
