Our pre-order items had crap stats, but Japan and Taiwan get good pre-order items (although Japanese dont even have to preorder; they just get them from buying the game).

I bet China will get perfect items too

I hope they're happy.

All right, let's not make this thread deteriorate into another "they have the best, we have crap". We've been down this road There's really nothing that can be done about it. So let's just drool... and hope that Chapter 2 has goodies for all of us!

Don't know about some other items, but the one for mesmer and monk don't seem to be very useful.

For a mesmer: req. Domination but gives bonus to....illusion!? Well, unless the mesmer is playing both skill lines at once, you can find something better in the game now. (So there, no use for Energy Denial build)

For a monk: req. Divine favor but gives bonus to healing and protection... Well, monks with 3 skill lines are not too uncommon. But...giving bonus to casting speed is not too good, since most useful monk skills have 1 sec or less casting time anyway. Thus, it would be better to have bonus to recharge time instead.

I really like the bow and the staff, very original ideas imo. Now why do we get craptacualr ugly pre order items? Anet keeps saying that "we got pre order, they get coke items" or whatever other countries get but lookign at stats and looks we lose out alot imo. I would definatly pay alot for that bow ^______^

According to arenanet, we should be happy with our pre-order (useless and crappy) items. So I'm happy, even if I see that (every asian countries) get (usefull and decent) items !

1. The bow looks RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing awesome.

2. Aren't the stats on alot of these the same as the stats on the Korean and Japanese weapons?

Probably same stats, just different skins.
But don't forget, before we make any attempt to acquire these pre-order items from other countries, we have got to make ANET give us that Un-Customization option!! These items, like pre-order items for the U.S. release, come customized. Unless ANET gives in, we can only watch and drool.

I like them all, very nice. Did the UK ever have prerelease items? Like a bulldog shield, or leprecorn staff?

If their pre-orders work like ours they can't be traded.

Yes, those items are lovely, but you can't choose which one you will get, you just randomly get one of those 6 items, unlike in US you chose to buy whichever pre-order item you like.

These items have the excact same stats as the items they get in China, though, China got more items.

http://tw.gamashoponline.gamania.com...=1140&s_num=11
And here's the place to pre-order, so you probbaly get something randomly assigned to you

Man...that bow is NICE!

By the way, I do not think uncustomising would be a good idea, or at least not for preorder items, since a person could uncustomise, sell the item, and then use the /preorder command to get their item once again.

Also, yes, the UK did get pre-order items. I get my Chimeric Prism, which really does have some good uses, the stats follow this kind of pattern:

You get +5 energy, and it is a foci.
Then, depending on what class you are, you get an energy or armour bonus when you reach 8 of your primary attribute, for example, when you reach 8 in Strength, you get +16 armour. Sometimes I use it as a +5 energy, 16 armour shield hehe ^_^

actually, it HALVES illusion, it doesnt give any bonus, just slows down casting i think

I'd love to have that Hammer, and that bow would be nice too, though, I'm not going to risk money just to have more chance to be unhappy, then happy.

Though, if the Pre-Order Package costs 10$, I might consider buying 10, try them one after another till I got the bow or the hammer, then sell the rest for 20$ on ebay..

The package costs about $40, but it includes Chapter 1 and 2. Yes, those who buy this package can play both chapter 1 and chapter 2 for free. And it has the divine aura that comes with the gift set sold in US. They even threw a sound track CD and a big map of Tyria in this package. Those Taiwanese definitely get more from their bucks.
