the staff is glitched. gah. you dont get the main 10 energy from it, and i know you should becasue i tested my theory with ragos staff, and had no points in fire, and it still gave me my 10 energy. all you get is the insightful part. :/

If i remember correctly, all the preorder items is the same regardless which stores you preorder from. I don't know why A-Net didn't spend times or effort into making different weapons like chapter 1's preorder. Maybe time issues and hope of making the deadline for the release date?

i'll go ahead and let you guys in on a secret.

eb game and gamestop are now one company. gamestop bought eb a few months back

p.s.

on that note, it all depends on the employees at the store near you, some stores are great for customer service, others not so great. you're best bet would be to get to know the guys working there, and show your face... preorder games you know you want to get, and eventually they will assuredly make the effort to get in touch with you.

it's a money business, when they know you'll spend money, they'll give you attention.

I hope Anet fixes it soon... would be a waste of a cool lookin staff if they left it bugged..

Is Anet aware of this bug? ..And if not how do we report it?

ok this is a dumb qustion even BestBuy would not answer. I guess I'll have to wait and see what they do.. IN any case .. I want the CE version. but Bestbuy would not let me put down more then the $10 for the preorder package for the game. They told me to hold on to my reciept and when the game comes out the $10 is rebated back when I pick up the game... I guess its all done automatically in the POS system... In any case what happens if I pickup the Factions CE box instead of the standard edition? Will I still get my $10 off? Or does it only apply to the Standard edition? Even the employees at the store had no idea on that one... I'm going to try for the CE edition anyway. And if I don't get my $10 back... oh well... I guess its still worth it..

Why the CE version??? I want that poster map... I have the one from the strat guide for Tryia which I love, now I want one for Cantha to go with it on my wall. I'm sure the map project will continue online, and I'll participate in that too, but its just nice to have that... and the likelyhood of Prima making another strat for factions that is Hard copy is pretty slim. so this is my only chance at a hard copy map for putting on my wall.

For the $10 off thing , its the same with stores like Fry's Electronics, Best Buy and others. They let you buy the preorder box than you get the $10 off receipt for your next purchase when factions is release. I would think you just walk in on the April 28 and pick up the game. Than show your $10 off slip and it take off the $10 dollars from the price of standard edition or CE.

Oh yeah, we got the crappy stuffs for our preorder last years and now this year we just get some daggers and staff. I wonder what the Japan, China, Taiwan and other countries will be getting for their preorders.

I wandered about that also at first. After a bit of research. You will be credited with the $10 if you buy the standard or CE. The only problem is they WILL NOT hold it for you like what a "pre-order" suppose to do. You just have to hope that they'll have CE on the shelf when you get there. I suggest being there on release day right when they open, I might skip school to do this. This will be my very last time pre-ordering anything from Best Buy. If they don't credit you $10 then demand your money back or make a scene. Because that's exactly what I'll be doing if they don't credit me.
