Oh wow... those weapons are simply awesome (in terms of skins). Wow, I'd love to have these items, but I'm not going to pay for this and the American Collector's edition. The stats are decent, I noticed that on many of the items, the 20/20 bonus is spread for two attributes, which is interesting.

I don't suppose there IS an American version of this?

Hehe... I might just get this as my 2nd account. Glad I didn't buy the other ones now. Pity you can't just add it to your account and 4 extra character slots open up. It would be much easier this way.

I'm pretty sure you can just add this to your current account and get the extra items but no extra char slots.

I like the way the Warriors get a sword and a shield. That's going to curb the Paladin population.

I personally don't get why people would put a u in words like that? It doesn't make sense to me.

Man, it's awesome how other countries get these brand spanking full damage weapons when I'm left with my non-max damage Ithas Bow. Yea, it sure looks good but Europe gets an ever better looking bow with max damage and 15^50% :]

*cough* Upgrade old preorder items A-net please *cough*

Or at least give people who bought Guild Wars a way to just purchase the items if we're really that sad. :]

no thx,no way those are worth buying another copy for.

caster stuff is hybrid builds only,and with the current limitation on attribute points how can you be effective in high-end game with points spread over more than 3 attributes.3 alone yes but most people ,i would think,want the full power out of at least 1 attribute.

also the line about the sword and shield?,explain please because there is no sword and there is a shield.

half the stuff,imho,doesn't look all that great except:-

hammer looks fairly cool shame i don't use one though.

bow looks very nice and very much like 1 of the factions weapon design winners.

the wailing staff is interesting because there was 1 in the fpe with more normal stats,so are they taking that 1 out of factions just for this?.

and no comment on that shield except what happened to the new skins on these versions.

may have considered getting 1 for my bro for after i upgrade his graphics and ram and keeping the weapon key for my account if:-

1)they changed the skins as promised.
2)the stats made more sence on the caster items(unless they are gonna add more attribute points,doubtful)
3)they added a sword so i could use the warrior weapon(and axe for the many axe weilders out there)

just looks to me like an unconvincing gimmick to sell some more copys before everyone jumps on the factions band-wagon aswell as an attempt to get people to mix up there favoured builds.

just my personal view so no need to flame,if you disagree with anything i said just say so and state your view as to why you think i'm wrong.

So what? Thats not a good enough reason not to. It just doesnt make sense to only give certain countys some items.

That is how it has been spelt for a very long time. English took a lot of spelling from the French, hence words like favour, centre, metre, etc.
The US education department decided to "simplfy" things for Americans, which is why you spell certain words differently, and don't allow certain verb tenses.
Phonetically speaking "favor" doesn't make sense either but that is Americans for you.
Since it is a European package, it should be spelt "favour".

Similar (if not identical) items will be made available in America later in the year. I'm not aware of when exactly, however.

Out of all of them only the warrior stuff are worth it.

Ranger is Flatbow (nough said)
Ele is req energy storage and improves air and fire. (multiples)
Monk (multiples)
Mesmer (multiples)
Necro (lol multiples)

Other than the cool skins they do not match nice collecor items from the desert and southershiver peaks.

To me the Serrated Shield is perfect since I use Tactics more than strength.
Thats why I never got Victo's Bulwark because of the req strength
But why is the Serrated Shield has a -1 not a -2

To Anet: for your loyal fans, maybe you should provide $10 keys that adds these items instead of actually buying the whole game just to get them.

Unfortunately, the game itself is in US English and does not currently have UK localisation. So, in this instance, we've posted the in-game spelling. We do normally adjust text to European English spelling, however any in-game text is left as-is.
