I'm impressed with the Glacial Blade, thanks for posting.
Now if only support would be faster to help me purchase the pre-order.

Yep. The blade of the Glacial Blade sort of ripples with icy light, and the hourglass in the center of the staff rotates.
Both are very neat.
The sword makes me wish I used a sword!

[edit] Although I wrote about the Hourglass staff also having animations, I couldn't see any when I tried to take screenies. I'll have to keep testing in case I imagined the whole thing..

That bow looks pretty cool.

The items look awesome. Seriously, some of the neatest skins I've seen in GW, especially that glacial blade. The only problem is that they are not inscribe-able in the least. Now not to instigate anything but I can get items that have max stats from merchants, and through drops. I was really hoping that these weapons would be fully customizable. Without being able to inscribe them with what you want, and completely customize them they are essentially mediocre to me. They are free though (since I'll be buying GW:EN and the money I put towards the pre-order will be saved on the final price) and overall pretty cool. I wish there was a way to get them without any inscriptions already, and then add our own.

just a shame about the -5 energy and sundering, but yeah, looks good and is a good counterpoint to a vamp set

I keep hearing this talk about the Glacial Blade's animations, but I see nothing animated in that blade. In fact, it only seems to have a bright blue static glow on the side of the blade visible when you view your character from the right. On the other side, it seems a bit duller. Anyone else having this problem?

the glow moves up and down the blade... maybe its a post process effect
doinchi
I don't see the glow moving at all. And I'm not too sure what a post process effect is hehe

As for the bow, -5 to energy doesn't matter much to a ranger. Expertise and the right bar, and you're pumping out pure damage. It's a beautiful thing. -5 on a warrior is a whole different ballgame.
Btw, is the command to unlock pre order items /bonus?

I would also like to know how to unlock he bonus items. Does one have to have a PvE toon? (I only have PvP charcaters).
Also, does anyone know why the pre-release bonus pack costs £3.50 in the Online Shop, yet only £1.99 in GAME?

because teh £3.50 comes off the price of GW:EN if you buy it through the ingame store, if you buy it in GAME its a completely seperate purchase and you are then paying £1.99 extra from GAME... Crazy huh?
Ingame Store £24.99 - £3.50 = £21.49
GAME £24.99 + £1.99 = £26.98
and yes, type /bonus in a town or outpost for the bonus weapons

I was just wondering, do you get anything extra in the preorder pack you buy from a store than the key for the pre-order (like the other pre-order packs).
NinjaKai
I can say for certain that it is /bonus.

Yeah, a DvD with the client (already out of date) and a couple of Nightfall videos on it...
Oh, and the inside of the cover has the Charr concept art from GW:EN and GW2, which is probably worth the £1.99 I paid for one

I just got the bonus and got the weapons. When I went to type in /bonus I figured that it would give me the weapons. But they are costumized for the char. that i opened them with. So now I cant use any of the weapons cause there for the wrong Char.
Am I wrong?

Am I wrong? Yeah you are wrong, lol.
do /bonus on your other characters, they'll get the items too.
And another thing you can do is put one of the bonus items on a hero, and then type /bonus again and you'll get another copy of that. All of my caster heroes use hourglass staves.

Ok I will try that. Thank you for the info

Neat skins, but the bow should've been recurve or flat imo, and the skins won't save the mods in my eyes.

I love Hourglass Staff, I see people using it, but... not many people realize we can actually "dye them"!
With mix color dye on Hourglass staff, it looks very very nice! (Silver+blue, Silver+purple, Red+black etc.) I dye mine and it look so much better then before.
The Bow too! I hate the original color, dye make it looks nicer.
And Anet just change the setting, we are able to add mods on, so it's good! (We can't take it out once u add them though)

Can you add mods like "of Fortitude" etc to the sword?
And if I preordered the game from Gamestop how do I get the bonus items?

bizarresk
yes u can! and your heros can use the weapons as well, but do not benefit from the +20% dmg bonus from customization

Exclussive weapons... yeah right.. only because of skins..
Blade stats.. oh god.. :-/

Yesterday I bought the preorder from the store and created the weapons, I think that the skins are among the best ever seen in all 3 campaigns so far.
The level of detail and the animations show a much more updated graphic design compared to old ones.
I hope that we can get something comparable from drops in EOTN areas.
Anyway, I ask A.net to make those preorder items inscribable.
I don't see any imbalance in game, as they're customized and usable only on you and your heroes.
It' won't affect the so called "economy", because you would get only the skin, but still would need to buy inscriptions and upgrades.
That shouldn't be so difficult, I can imagine that A.net used some special codification for those items, something like tyrian collectors weapons, which are not dyable for instance and of course not inscribable.
Anyway in NF there are inscribable collectors weapons, like scythes in Kourna and Vabbi, so they could use that kind of coding for instance.
In the past they changed IDS from blue to gold to make it exempt from loot scale, I think they could do something like that also for the preorder items.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't imagine any reason that prevented A.net to give us fully customizable preorder items.
If someone knows, I'd like to be explained ...

Very nice weapons, don't really like the stats. The bow is rubbish really, I mean couldn't they not make a Longbow for at least ONCE!
vergerefosh
Staff stats are quite nice, and the swords are much better than what all my chars are using atm. Only warrior weapon missing now is an axe.
Not that fond of the bow though. Don't like using any - weapons, unless it's reducing damage I'm taking

Yeah the weapon's skins are very nice, rubbish stats apart from the staff which is good for ele heroes. And btw you can mod most of the bonus weapons now, if the weapon is missing a handle or grip, like that nevermore bow (goty) or Glacial Blade (gwen), you can put the mod on it.
You can't get them back tho! SO think twice before putting a max mod on them.

Ach. So sad. I wont be able to purchase this before EotN comes out, meaning I'll miss out as it is PRE-Order, yes?
Pity. I like the sword.

Wonder if, once GWEN is out, they'll work on fixing the weird wind effect that flies around the screen when the staff is being used... shouldn't be hard at all really (shouldn't even be there if it was properly tested), but they seem to be ignoring it.
