LMAO, you need a DVD drive to run the Nightfall disk, GG.

Gg anet, guildwards 1 and 2 disks are for cd rom, and now ive received my pre ordered nightfal only to find out the disk dosent work because i havent got a dvd drive.
It also says on the back that the disk only runs in a dvd drive.

What the hell anet, do you expect half a million guildwars fans to update their pcs just to run your game?

Im disapointed....very.


*PS* Will my pc still be able to download the files automatically - do i NEED the disk?

You should be able to just download them, I did that with Factions.

I would venture to say most people with computers that can run Guild Wars have DVD drives...and no, you don't actually need the disk. :P

The disks are for people who don't have guild wars already. If you have prophocies or factions you'll be fine.

I have GW and Factions installed...
So,if i buy the collectors edition (which is on dvd) i dont need to have the dvd drive...
i just input the key and everything downloads?and i still get the bonus collectors edition crap?

DVD-ROM drives are 20$.. dont tell me you can't afford that.

SURE, why do you think there is "gwclient" available to download, or HOW ppl who buy game in Online Store get their game?

I don't have a DVD drive either. No big deal, just hammer in the key, and you're off killing red dots in Nightfall.

My god, DVD drives have been out FOREVER. I bought a top line DVD/CD Burner way back for $45 easy. ALL commercial PC makers NOW bundle their systems with 2 DVD drives now.

And REGARDLESS, the DVD is OPTIONAL. http://www.guildwars.com and get the client and it will download instead of you having to upgrade your ancient PC.

Not sure which version you got but it was posted in all the game content lists that the SE came with 4 CDs and the CE 1 DVD. Just be a bit more careful when you read the specs and don't blame ANet unless the information provided was faulty.

In the Collector's edition the game is on DVD and in the regular one it is on 3 CDs. It was said a long time ago it will be like this. Even on your pre-release pack there is a symbol saying DVD ROM. But even if you don't have DVD Rom you can download the game from the servers and then you'll play it again

Its not the fact that everyone should have a dvd drive by now, its not the fact that its not cd roms.


Its just because its soemthing to complain about cause they have nothing better to do.

i do not have a dvd drive in my computers. could i afford one? sure, but that is not the issue here. i should not have to buy a dvd drive if i dont want.

GW should come in CD and DVD formats. it is up to the people puching their product to cater to the needs of the user.

You can just download the client. You dont need the CD/DVD.

If you have the game installed, you will download the files regardless if you own it or not since engine and interface updates affect everyone.

yay...collectors edition ftw then...
my laptop i really crap..i changed his dvd drive 2 times already....
Gericom sux

I've never used one CD to install Guild Wars onto any machine I've played from ever. I just download the client and download the maps the first time I go to them...

Instruction on how to install GW: Nightfall

1) Go to the store
2) Pick up a copy of Nightfall (SE or CE)
3) Go home and open the box
4) Take out the CD-Key
5) Login to your account
6) Click add/modify CD-Key
7) Input GW: Nightfall CD-Key
8) Game on and enjoy

It does come in CD and DVD formats. The SE is on CDs and CE is on a DVD and if you dont have a DVD drive, you can dl the client. You do have an internet connection don't you?

For the majority of people, having it on a DVD is actually a perk, no swapping of cd's. That's why it's in the CE.

GG you have a computer in October 2006 that doesn't have a DVD drive......

Woah, hold on. You're telling me it isn't on floppy disks??

Get with the times, games have been coming on DVD-only for years.
