I just opened my GW:F pre-order box from Best Buy, entered the CD Key and saw I got 2 new items





I was just going to show y'all if you haven't gotten the box or plan to, also are there any other items from pre-orders? Post screenshots of them please

Cool. Two max/modded weapons for the new classes right off the bat.

Did they come customized, or did you do that yourself?

Since the staff is max damage, I wonder if that means that daggers max at 17?

How many pre-order items can you get? Can you get one for all your characters?

its the pre-order, not the full game, so they wouldn't get them yet.

Hm... you only get one of each of the items...

You opened them on your ele... so your A and your Ri can't use them...

Some of you people really need to go read some of the other pre-order threads before you even post...

@ Mr_eX

No they come customized for each character on your account.

@ Markaedw

Yes that is max damage for daggers.

@ da_king

You get both items on all your characters, even newly made PvP ones.

@ snikerz

I wish I could play the game and everything early :P

@ Echowinds

Sorry to disappoint you, but I got it on a newly made PVP character, and for my already made characters I used /preorder. Gets you all the pre order items even from GW:P

@ Frost1069

They have it already, the Best Buy near my house has it.

hmm, I'm disappointed, I mean what would all your other chars do w/ it unless they go w/ the new classes as 2ndary? even then I don't think warrs for example will sacrifice their sword/axe/hammer for daggers/ritualist staves..

I was hoping for like a default item for certain chars, like that hog gluttony shield for the warr and those things for the new classes, but maybe I'm asking for too much

Not to mention that their stats seem useless and other than a diff look(and I have to say those don't look very flattering or attactive) they will just take up valuable slots for other items. Those daggers should've had a +5/+7 armor or +30hp. That rit staff is missing a suffix, safe to say that if thats all the preorder items, I'll probly not get it, not because I don't want to, I'd love to be able to play early, but having each char have 2 spaces taken up by these things in which you can't sell/drop or get rid of is mighty annoying. Its already tough having your 2nd set armor along w/ you, and diff sets of weapons, but having 2 extra weapons only usable by 2 diff classes simply make it very unappealing. How could they even have the face to give us such lousy preorder items after having been exposed to the japanese/korean preorders for chp1. Anets seriously needs to stop catering special attention to diff markets. US/EUR servers seem to be getting the shaft this time too.

Did you add the pre-order cd key to your account?

If so, to get these items, you either type /preorder, or when you make a new character they will already be in your inventory.




Oh...and this question has already been asked before many times, did you not read before asking it again?

Well, I got my preorder today, added the pre-order key, typed /preorder and don't have squat. However, I made a new PvP char and she has the new items.

Yeah, tried that, restarting the game, creating new chars in PvP and PvE but still /preorder and /presale doesn't work for my existing chars. My new PvE char didn't have it either, but that didn't surprise me so much since these are Post strength weapons and she's a Pre char.

So, to sum up, a new PvP char has them, but none of my existing chars do.

Question, which probably has been answered but anyway, if you bought the usual plain GW and then a collectors GW:F would you get the items and glowing hands for youe characters along with the 2 items for new professions like you would if you got a collectos edition for GW?

I'll act stupid here because once I added in my keycode from back in May05 when I bought GW I did not need to ever have to add it again or anything so I have no idea how to add another to it. Plus on top of that I have no free slots so if you need to add the keycode (somehow and someone wanna tell me how?) I still can't make any new characters until I actually get my copy. And if the items become customized for the character I do get them with, then I'll hold off until I get my new ritualist or assassin that the items will work with

Log in to your account, go to Edit account > Manage Access Keys > Next > Next and you should be on a screen where you can add your new key

And from what I've read the items are available to all the characters on your account, and will be automatically customised to each character you add them to.

Have the items for the Factions Collector Edition been confirmed? I'm not sure the glowy hands will be part of that...

I'm pretty sure that if you have CE original Guild Wars, and link regular Factions, you'd still have glowy hands, as it's now part if your CE original Guild Wars account.

Maybe?

The 2 items for the new professions are part of the preorder package not part of the CE. You should be able to get the preorder package if you preorder either version of Factions.

The glowy hands come witht the Prophecies CE. If you have that CE on your account, all you characters on that accound should have access to glowy hands, including characters from Factions and future chapters.

No and no, AFAIK. I think the CE contents are due to be revealed either this Friday (10th) or the following Friday (17th)

They most like will have something special for the collectors edition of Factions. Since they had it for the orginal one, they would have it for the 2nd one.

It is very far from being the ultimate trapper staff. In fact is is strictly worse than the existing new greens from Tombs. All the new tombs staves have the exact same setup as this staff (apart from the dmg requirement, of course) but also have perfect fortitude mod on them, which this does not.

I like it for the look, but doubt I will actually ever use it. I don't even use the new green staves.

The "ultimate" to the best of my knowledge is the Fires in the East staff with a +5 insigtful and likely a +30 Fortitude.

I have the same problem with you, /preorder command doesn't work for my existing PvE characters. But when I created a new PvE character, the items appeared in his backpack. Can anyone confirm if the /preorder command work for his existing PvE characters or not?

Funny enough, on another thread Gaile seemed to imply that these pre-order items shouldn't be working yet!

So maybe it's just a glitch.
