Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

[QUOTE=Bullet100;35502318]What do if I show up to GameStop tomorrow at 10AM (when they open)(also when I'm supposed to be at work) and they are out of Guild Wars 2 CE's?[/QUOTE] Did you preorder one? if not then it's a case of tough cookie to be honest and you'll have to try getting one elsewhere or settle for a normal version.

I can pre purchase the standard version of gw2 here in Norway: [url]http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=623223[/url] But I'm thinking of waiting for it to pop up on ncsoft, that way more cash go to Anet

It's the 10th 1AM here, I wanna pre-purchase now :<

[QUOTE=psychojake;35501972][url]http://www.arena.net/blog/introducing-the-guild-wars-2-collectors-edition-video[/url] New blog post, showcasing the CE.[/QUOTE] Why aren't they showing the digital items in-game? :(

Just a reminder Anet is doing the Pre-purchase from midnight Seattle time since some people missed it.

Whens that :)?

[QUOTE=SweFox*;35502636]Whens that :)?[/QUOTE] It is currently 16:07 in Seattle.

So in 8 hours? Awesome, thanks.

[QUOTE=Source;35502391]Did you preorder one? if not then it's a case of tough cookie to be honest and you'll have to try getting one elsewhere or settle for a normal version.[/QUOTE] ...I will be pre-ordering one tomorrow when you can officially pre-order.

Ugh... can't decide... necromancer or engineer? Kickass zombies, or aimbotting turrets? Placeable traps/marks that will melt people alive in half a second flat, or gigantic barrels of TNT?

We're your only real friends. Just come play with us forever, and ever and ever... [editline]9th April 2012[/editline] Anyone know what's up with the banker golem saying (5 days) in that blog video? Is it a temporary thing or something? I hope not.

[QUOTE=Dispenser;35504235] Anyone know what's up with the banker golem saying (5 days) in that blog video? Is it a temporary thing or something? I hope not.[/QUOTE] Apparently it lasts 5 days after you activate it, so you can access your bank anywhere in that time slot. IMO, makes it somewhat useless.

I no longer have to trek to Lamestop to get CE! Besides, I don't know if my local Lamestop will have it.

I'm happy because I trust Best Buy more than Gamestop. They are much more professional about stuff, even if they know next to nothing about games. But, I will probably end up visiting both, since I put down $25 at GameStop to reserve a CE. I hazard to guess a 50% chance of them running out :v:

So pre-activation starts tomorrow and it's released next Tuesday? This and Prototype 2 are coming out just before or during finals. :[

[QUOTE=Archonos 2;35505470]So pre-activation starts tomorrow and it's released next Tuesday? This and Prototype 2 are coming out just before or during finals. :[[/QUOTE] What? No. There is no release date yet. Pre-purchase is tomorrow - it's like a pre-order, except you pay for the game entirely and then get to be in all the beta weekends.

[QUOTE=Archonos 2;35505470]So pre-activation starts tomorrow and it's released next Tuesday? This and Prototype 2 are coming out just before or during finals. :[[/QUOTE] I have no idea who your sources are, but I'd like some of what they're having.

Man, I only have enough money to buy Digital Edition. I hope they make an option to upgrade from Digital Edition to Digital Deluxe.

[QUOTE=secundus;35505953]Man, I only have enough money to buy Digital Edition. I hope they make an option to upgrade from Digital Edition to Digital Deluxe.[/QUOTE] why would you want to waste the money on digital deluxe? everything that comes with it is one time use except for a pet

[QUOTE=Pandamox;35506249]why would you want to waste the money on digital deluxe? everything that comes with it is one time use except for a pet[/QUOTE] You also get the elite skill. I'm getting the digital deluxe edition because I like the digital exclusive and don't want to fork over another $60 for the physical collectors.

[quote="http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/game-faq/#forty-three"]Standard Edition (North America)—Customers will buy the Standard Edition Pre-Purchase box and receive a Pre-Purchase serial code. They will then go to [url]https://register.guildwars2.com[/url] and follow the on-screen instructions to create a Guild Wars 2 account and apply the serial code, which will give them access to Beta Weekend Events, the Hero's Band digital item, and three-day Headstart Access to the final game. When Guild Wars 2 launches, customers will need to return to the retailer with proof of purchase to [b]receive the full Standard Edition box[/b] and retail serial code. They will need to apply this retail serial code to their Guild Wars 2 account within five days to continue playing without interruption.[/quote] If I get a physical pre-purchase, then when the game comes out, I can get the case for the game. Aww yea. There's something about having the case that just feels great. Reminds me of older days. Too bad it costs tax + gas. However, the digital edition is cheaper and also puts more money in ArenaNet's pocket.

[QUOTE=Pie108;35506299]You also get the elite skill. I'm getting the digital deluxe edition because I like the digital exclusive and don't want to fork over another $60 for the physical collectors.[/QUOTE] honestly an elite skill and a pet for $20? i'm going to just spend that on the in-game microtransactions instead

and considering arenanet isnt a shit company, the deluxe content will probably be outclassed by actual content once you acquire it

[QUOTE=Pandamox;35506763]honestly an elite skill and a pet for $20? i'm going to just spend that on the in-game microtransactions instead[/QUOTE] That's actually a good idea. Instead of getting one use item for glory and influence, 5 days anywhere bank access, a Rytlock mini (I prefer HoM's Orange Tabby cat) and an elite skill, I can get about 1600gems that I can use to buy 2 character slots.
