IMO I think it'd be cool to get a special armor set for the new classes, somethin to make you stick out among the non-CE owners

The Collectors Edition for Factions seems like its gona be pretty lame compared to Prohecies CE!

With the original you got a Guildwars Headset (which I still use) 3 Months Free Teamspeak server and the Divine Aura!

This time its just a poster, and some special dance effect for the assasin and Ritualist only!..., oh I heard there was a mousemat also oO.

With Pre-order items only being for the new proffesions also it seems a bit lame this time around..

This special dance manouver better had be AMAZING!

Very Important Question (tm):

If you buy the Factions CE, and do NOT have the Prophesies CE (only standard Prophesies), will the base classes have the glowing hands?

I agree, and also I want CE-only emotes, and special dance effects for every proffesion. Maybe more harstyles and faces

Ability to buy and use white dye, not able to sell, give or drop them to regulars?

Special stuff for CE people on events like halloween and christmas?

but I guess what I want is irrelevant, it's the majority that deside, come on people, you want what I want

You also forgot to mention the spiffy sticker set!


But I agree that Factions CE is pretty lame in comparison to what Prophecies CE had offered.

And yet this time around i've been forced to pay a higher price because the more competative companys dont seem to be involved with the pre-order offer!

Very suspicious

I'm actually looking forward to the Desktop calender...

Honestly, the major reason I'm getting the CE is because I have the original CE... and I'd hate to break a trend.

Same reason I'm buying Factions CE

I'd feel weird having Prophecies CE and non CE of factions ^^

Besides I need a new mousepad anyways >->

One of the reasons I'm getting CE is because of the box.

I think there will be a Ritualist on the other side of the regular edition as well...

But I do like the box design, especially with the Chinese (?) characters under the title.

Oh, yeah, and the art book. One of the best things about the first CE...

While none of us seem to be treating it this way, Factions IS a stand-alone game. Theoretically, according to A-net, some people will buy and play it without having Prophesies.

This, of course, is good news for us, because it means they're obligated to make as many armors, weapons, skills, monsters, etc. as they did for the first game, or it won't be worth the price as a stand-alone product.

Seems odd, then, that if you buy the Factions CE, you'll have all these neat character classes, but only a tiny fraction of them (two!!) will get anything interesting from having the CE.

Not really, DA is a feature of one product, Back-up dancers is a feature of another product.

there is no logic to say that if you have the benafits on one you should automatically be given the benefits of another...

Using your logic it should mean that Prophecies owners who buy Factions CE should have these back-up dancers for all their characters, which is just not the case.

In any case.. no matter which logic or argument you put behind it, the answer is still NO

ANET made it VERY specific that the DA is special ONLY to GW:CE account codes.

Yep. Backup dancers for all classes WOULD be the obvious thing to expect.

Prophesies CE: Divine Aura for all classes included with that game.
Factions CE: Backup dancers for all classes included with that game.

You are correct, though. Either way, the answer is NO. Core classes get nothing from Factions CE.

Go figure. ^_^

Well in the UK I secured mine at £31.61 all inclusive of VAT and delivery! You can get it cheaper if you have points as well! For anyone interested, head over to Tesco.com.

Cost wise, I don't think it is an issue at the above price?

no!! we CE's will lose our fame and become ordinary people!!

hehe..

still buying CE here eventhough there's not much in it.

personally,

Prophecies Pre-Order < Factions Pre-Order
Prophecies CE > Factions CE

Since I bought a CE already and I like GW a lot (than WoW ) and a big fan of NCsoft and people who quit *****-companies (like ANet), I'll keep buying CE no matter it takes.

I'm from the Philippines, dang, I have to bug online stores, call relatives abroad, just to guarantee I'll get a CE I don't care if it'll cost me U$100 (ceiling price) as long as I get a CE...

sigh NCsoft please offer CE to more countries, you'll earn a lot anyways, here in the Philippines alone, more than half of your customers want a CE - you (NCsoft via local distributor) that there are 5,000 unique users here. :/ Im losing lots of money just to get a CE.

But anyway, hence "Collector's Edition"
