[PC] Guild Wars (+ Factions)

I've called my local ebgames store 5 times in the passed week, asking about the pre-order box. THe one that gives you the goodies like the beta event cd-key and such. They don't know a thing about it, and even said Canada might not even get the pre-order package, which really sucks

Jam it back in, in the dark.

THE EUROPEAN ONLINE PRE-ORDER (no box or contents)

• A key that provides access to the Factions Preview Event on March 24th
• Access to Guild Wars Factions twenty-four hours before the official release date
• Exclusive in-game items—one unique item for each of the two new professions

The European boxed Pre-Order Pack will be available in stores on March 31st and will include:

Thats what comes with the pre-order box. But nobody seems to know about it. only that you can pre-order it normaly like you would any other game. They don't know about the goodies.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It does.

Both American and European pre-order packages get the preview event and the 24 hour before thing as well.

Most amazing jew boots

Wait, how does that work... march 31st? but the preview event is on march 24th.. O.o

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

well, considering we dont get any pre-order goodies at all here (so sais all the ebgames I called) Im worse off then you, cause you GET the box, (albeit a bit late)

I was speaking idiomatically.

XHG is dead... it died 2 months in I think, with everyone splitting up to do their own thing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Right. Pre-ording only lets you play Factions 24 hours before the rest of the world can

FELIPE NO

Haha... That would be crazy. Im going to make a new character in Factions. Im still wondering if I should merge acounts. 2 extra slots and have my ch.1 charries run through Cantha? or 4 new slots of just Cantha.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Some kind of prize. Gaile (Anet reprasentative) said they will be giving out that info on the GW site i nthe next 24 hours. So just sit tight and wait :P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think to be an effective PVP guild, you would need to be a bunch of real life friends and not some random joes. But I suppose a community of random joes would work... Also, its an absolute must that you have either Team Speak or Ventrillo, or theres no way you'll be able to co-ordinate your attacks.

Get those, and yeah sure, I'll probably join. I've been guildless for a while now. I have a bunch of invites too. All random. Don't plan on joining any of em.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dude, thats why I love this game! I can't stand grinding.. I can't. Sitting there, doing nothing but killing stuff over and over and over, hoping to reach the next level before bedtime. It drives me nuts, theres no substance with it. In GW, the lvl 20 cap is perfect. By that time, you just got to Lions Arch, if not a bit furthur, and the story line is all aruond you, you're finding out whats happening to the chosen, etc..

Its just a refreshing change of pace compared to most MMO's out there.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Woaahh its Kitty, Hey =o!

I've hit the endpoint in PvE and I've been looking to do some GvG for the longest time, but it doesnt help when you don't know the basics in PvP.. what good skills are, good builds, how to use em, etc.. Its hard to find pugs, hard to find guilds willing to take in a PvP noob and help them learn the ropes...

Nice job on getting into the top 8 You should've gone to Taiwan Kitty

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Your guild had the chance to go to Taiwan? I thought everything was pre-paid, flights, hotel, food, etc..

In game, my main is Mors Inocentae and sure =) I want to, if not get into a pvp guild, at least know my stuf so I can be useful in pugs or whatever... I bet it doesnt help that I'm a W/Mo.. I have a R/El but she's still at ascalon.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hmm, if you're still in pre-searing, let me know either ingame, gff PM or in this thread when you sear. My ranger is still in ascalon and we could go on together or something.

Tombs just sucks now with IWAY and stupid euro edenial and trapway and all that same shit.

Thats pretty neat. All these builds, trapaway, IWAY, wheover else is popular, I cant go into any of the pug maps and go "W/Mo lfg" I get outright ignored.. and I can't say anythign else cause I don't have a specific build.

Sux to be me I guess

Most amazing jew boots

Im logged in sitting in Lions Arch :P hmm, what can I throw in... I can't Im guildless.

Nice job send me a PM or post here if you wana go questing together. My Ranger is still in old ascalon

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah. Old ascalon really looks like a dump. But then you move away from that and you get into the shiverpeaks, beautiful.. Then Kryta... the jungle, the desert...The game really turns beautiful.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I picked up the Factions Pre-Order a few hours ago. And.... Thats all

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So I got to use the /preorder command and get my special items... They look pretty neat, and have nice mods as well.






I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You could be banned for that if one of the players decides to send a warning thigny to Anet... well, not banned but a warning or whatever. You may want to delete one o those characters to make room for factions beta event (if you're planning on trying it out).

Most amazing jew boots

You get the two extra slots if you decide to link your acuonts once factions is released. For the PvE weekend event, you have to use one of the four slots given to you if you wish to try playing an assasin or ritualist in Cantha.

Most amazing jew boots

Hey Kitty, when can you get me an invite into that noob training PvP guild?

FELIPE NO

Cantha has just been opened to the public. Anyone can make a new roleplaying character and start off in Cantha.

First impressions? God damn beautiful. I'll nab plenty of screenshots tomorrow when I have more time to look around. I can say the world is huge. Big open spaces, green, and dont forget the hundreds of monsters to fight. Its a great getting into the game feeling.

Anyways, 4am. more to come tomorrow.

Most amazing jew boots

The thing that sucks about it though, is that if you're guildless, or if your guild has no interest in the PvP part, you're going to be missing out on alot of the big map battles. I'm guildless so I'm stuck with doing the tons of missions right now.
But yeah, game is beautiful. I'll be taking alot of screenshots today.
