Great news. but 34 Euros is more than 39.99 dollars. I estimate it'll be 29.99 UK pounds for retail or in the online shop.

Cheeky mode - Any chance of having a discount via the online store, seeing as all we get is a code

Sweet, Amara Dawnbreaker's birthday! Maybe I'll get a Mini-Gwen for GWEN.

Anyone know if the week before is the confirmed "sneak peak"?

Please Anet.

Make sure your live GWEN build is fully functional. We dont want a repeat of Nightfall with broken primary quests.

Good to know the release date and price. But I'm kind of surprised they didn't announce the information of the pre-release package at the same time.

hmmm thats like $83 ($Aus), I wonder if we'll get the game on time or if shipping delays will be blamed.


my math could be wrong

It won't be £30. £24.99 is more like it, seeing that it's just an expansion pack. I'm sure some online store will sell it for £17.99 -£19.99.

Done.

Sweet!

Especially considering that in Slovenia Factions could be bought for 30 Euro on the day of release and Nightfall for 28.


But then again - this is only the recommended price.

The release day was sooner then i expected. I had guessed sept 30-31 to just stay in q3. Price is 10$ cheaper then a campagn. now lets get some info on the pre-release dates so we can start getting into it already

Right when school is about to start, that should keep me focused on school. A new game for a new (school) year.

Yep, so true

I think I'll have a couple days to rush and beat it, then the rest of the school year will be slow going.

I hope EB doesn't abuse their monopoly in Australia by charging AU$80 for it. I mean they've been screwing people for a long time now. Full price games in the US cost $50, in Australia it's $100. Now, currently the Aussie dollar is at 85c American, which would mean a game in Australia costs US$85. Where does the other $35 go? Shipping? Oh please.

Oh sweeet, Is there a preview event?Official?Would be sweet if we could get the bonus pre release pack through the online store. Is there going to be a CE?Would be nice if i could just get everything i could get from from the online store without the annoying hassle of preordering at 2 EB games.

Hmmm...looks like I need to hurry up and finish Nightfall...

I'm sure this has been discussed over and over, but I've been gone for a long while and the search feature's not pulling up anything... No Collector's Edition? I'm trying to find the source where both wikis got this info, but no luck so far. I was hoping to add a final CE to my collection to make it complete.

<- Jeez, I've still got my Christmas avatar up on this site...give me a minute...OK, fixed.

There will be no CE. (confirmed by Gaile somewhere)

There will be a "preview/ headstart" event (August 24-26?) that will only be available if you buy the Pre-release. (we will be able to keep things from this event, and Gaile promises it will be different from past events like this).

... Overpriced.
40$, only 10$ less than the previous chapters, and yet it got so much less.
Less skills, 150 (with only 100 of them being PVP-legal) compared to 300+ in each of the previous chapters.
No extra character slots, they're worth 10$ each, each chapter had at least 2 of those.
No new professions.
No new PVP modes.
Less armor sets (40), each chapter had more.
Less heroes than Nightfall (10 compared to 15)
Oh, and it requires a previous chapter.

30$ sounds like a fitting price.

But so much more content... and thats the point of this EXPANSION, content!

If you think its over priced, don't buy it

Also it gives characters heroes even if they don't have nightfall, thats a bonus for some

Read up a bit.



If the price is too high, don't buy it.

Too me, the content is worth the price. I don't need anymore slots or professions, I just want new stuff to do for my old characters.
