Divine Aura complaint

I think it is unfair that Dervish and Paragons, as well as Assassins and Ritualists get this. It was supposed to be a Prohecies CE bonus only but its not. Why not give the rest of the classes the special dances for those who have other CEs?

Why should the Proph CE owners get to have it when none others can?

Why not just give it to those classes on a per CE basis. Such that Dervish and Paragons get it if you have Nightfall CE but not otherwise. Same with Assassins and Ritualists. That was you can separate the CE editions as they should be.

No. Arenanet already said, to shell out an extra 20 for a brand new game and have faith in it like that is commendable, and they will keep up divine auras for as long as they can. I'm happy with having it on all of my characters :-D

I am not saying get rid of them all together just separate them. Give only Tryian characters it if you only have Proph, give only Canthan if you have Factions etc. Makes mroe sence that way since well there is no reasont hat Anet should make Proph players better by giving the aura to all characters regardless of campaign.

That's ANets way to say "thank you" to their longterm customers that supported them from the betas on! I can't see any problem with it!

To speak as someone who did not get the faction's campaign collectors, or almost the nightfall CE, I say "nay!".

Then maybe they should add crossgame content for those who have other CE. You don't need the other CE to get the divine aura on the characters made in those games. So give us something for whichever CE we have.

i guess you have missed those Nightfall disco ball special dances.

THEY HAVE A SPECIAL DANCE FOR EACH CHAPTER CE

they gave it to us for having enough faith to shell out extra for an unproven game.

brought up before so use search next time and rez another thread

Understand this, Divine Auras work on ALL classes in ALL expansion sets. Discoballs and backup dancers work ONLY on the new classes in respective expansion sets. Might as well make Discoballs global on warriors/necros/eles/monks/etc like a Divine aura then. Coz come on, they are very pretty yes? lol

You CE guys may have "Shelled out extra" for an unproven game, but howabout those normal edition users that also "Shelled out" for the game in the first place?

P.S. Don't murder me for posting on the OP's side lol

theres no use complaining about not having prophecies CE, its really too bad i did not know about the original CE or i would have gotten it

anyway, it is quite true that it seems lame that CORE professions get nothing from CE's besides the chapter's specificly new professions.

every chapter has a collectors with a special effect dance but its only for the 2 new professions of that chapter, yet the chapters have the core classes always. guildwars prides itself on always having the core classes in every chapter, so why the discrimination? Can't give them something similar, different? To show you have a chapter's collector's edition other than only on the newer professions?

it does feel unfair

Glad to see a few people agree with me on this one.

totally agree, giving divine aura for ALL classes is just wrong when other ce's are for that chapter only.
they should sell the divine aura seperately for those of us who couldnt get or didnt know there was a prophecies ce and wont spend over £100 on ebay

Back in the month proceeding the release of guildwars prophecies, I almost canceled my order for the CE because the divine aura only showed during emotes.

Im glad I didnt

Seeing as how I rarely see them anymore, I feel very priveledged to have it. Anets way of thanking its customers, lots of games do it. I remember right before I quit Everquest they released veteran rewards for those who had subscribed for a while.

/veto the above poster. If they sold the divine aura seperately it would ruin it. I mean, look how special the mini varesh is, everyone has it, because of that nobody wants it.

You got what you paid. How hard is it to understand that?

Sure, Prophecies CE seems to give you more than Factions or Nightfall CE. But who says they have to be equal?

If ANet didnt give the RT, AS, D and P new classes auras - people would be here whining and crying about how ANet doesnt support their long term customers. ANet gives their long term customers divine auras and people whine and cry.

It was not ever suposed to be Prophesis only it was for GW period, why don't you try to track one down instead of sabataging others if you want it? Stop being so spiteful.

Divine Aura is a bonus for people who bought the Collectors edition of Prophy, deal with it.

As stated, the divine aura is a reward for those that took the gamble to buy the first campaign CE without knowing for sure if they'd like the game. The reward is so great cause it was a pretty big leap of faith. They still appreciate us for it and people that didn't take that gamble have no right to complain about it.

Signet of Self-Entitlement

I just found out that the divine aura doesnt show up when doing the special dance for the CE of nightfall

I supported Anet from the betas and on. Give me my Divine Aura. Just showing how your reasoning is flawed.

It's unfair that people who deleted their original characters to create new ones and ended up having to wait longer to receive their 1 year gifts too.

But it happened because Anet chose to implement it that way, and ultimately, complaining about a free bonus was silly.

So Anet's been giving Divine Aura to subsequent chapters as a little extra 'thank you' as well; It's their choice to give gifts to who they please for what reasons they choose to, and it's silly to fuss over it.

Would it somehow make you better off if they took it away or never added it?


For the record, I regret having not purchased the Prophecies Collector's Edition. That is to say, I'm a "have-not" as well.

But it's a purely aesthetic, minor gift, and it doesn't really bother me in the least that others are receiving.

(Edit: Note, I hope this hasn't come out sounding condescending; It's just that out of all the recent complaints to flood Riverside, both valid and questionable, this one seems like the downright silliest, so it's drawing criticism from me it might not have gotten otherwise.)

That does not make any sense.
Obfuscate more please.

Nothing more to say to this thread.

Close?

well it's not really fair that I can't go and buy Magic:TG packs with Alpha and Beta cards in them at the same price as normal packs are now. They are reserved for those that invested early. Is it fair, heh.. I'm not going to cry about it, because not everything in life is fair. I'm not going to blame you for it because I don't know you. As far as I know you live in a world (parents' house) where everything may be fair and won't realize this until some point in the future.

Some people supported ANet from Beta onward -more- than others by spending more. There are people that claim that they won't by an expensive edition at first on a new game because it could suck. Well I don't know a whole lot of people that go back and by a collector's edition after they've already bought the regular one, but maybe they do. I figure if a game has interested me enough to spend money on it and if the collector's edition isn't two to three times more expensive, then yeah, I'll take a chance on the CE. The fact of the matter is some of you didn't and now you're pissed. The tradeoff is that now that you know you like it you can find one on ebay for who knows how much more money.

As far as those that didn't hear about it in time, well maybe you should subscribe to a game magazine or something that may do previews on upcoming games instead of just sitting around, waiting for it to hit you on the head and then say how unfair it is that you didn't find out about it first.

EDIT: Besides, it's glowing hands. I mean c'mon, it's not like its a castle on a commonly traveled path or something. It's a little glow that surrounds your hands. It's not like all the Prophecies characters get disco balls, special dances, and green mini-pets. You really are crying over something so small. If they don't give DA to us any more, fine, it's not that it's a really big deal. You really can't get over someone getting something really small like that can you? You're friggin sad. Even those of us with the original pre-order only got a 'censors item' offhand for a monk, not a max wpn for each class and/or an extra character slot. heh..

And this wasn't directed towards the op obviously as he/she has stated it sn o big deal, but towards the people that really do seem to be perturbed about not being able to get it at the originally released price.

This is a joke. You get what you pay for. End of story.

So let us buy it in the gw shop then?

Next time you put a one line condescending reply try thinking about it a little more as some have said they WOULD be willing to buy it. End of story

Here's two right here via a quick search. Two Collector's Editions from collectors at collectors prices:

http://cgi.ebay.com/GUILD-WARS-Colle...QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/Guild-Wars-Colle...QQcmdZViewItem

I don't think I'd pay that much though. The point is, it's a collector's item, and it is available as such if you search.

Ok, lets end this, those of us that bought the Prophecies CE get the divine aura on our Factions and Nightfall characters because of the following reasons:

1) ANet saying thank you for the support we gave them and the risk we took by originally buying the CE

2) The original CE box states the following "INCLUDES: Collector's Exclusive: 'Divine Aura' - Each character you create manifests the gods' favor with a glowing aura visible to all"

please note that #2 does NOT say "INCLUDES: Collector's Exclusive: 'Divine Aura' - Each PROPHECIES character you create manifests the gods' favor with a glowing aura visible to all"

Wow - can you guys cry more about what other people have?

"2) The original CE box states the following "INCLUDES: Collector's Exclusive: 'Divine Aura' - Each character you create manifests the gods' favor with a glowing aura visible to all""

As far as that's concerned, I'm surprised it wasn't done SOONER then. Besides, why are people complaining about not having glowing hands that are BARELY noticable unless you actually LOOK? They're not getting automatic rifles that deal 200 damage per bullet, they're not getting explosives and overpowering the game, they're getting a SLIGHT aura that is fun to have and DESERVED!

Bottom line: If you want a Prophecies CE benefit, you'd better have Prophecies CE then.
