Re: Guild Wars 2

I completely agree with you, which is why I tend to drift away from the big communities and just play with a smaller group of friends. Meeting new people without having to shout over the trolls and idiots would be nice though.

Pre-orders start April 10: https://buy.guildwars2.com/

I think I'm gonna go ahead and get the collector's edition. If nothing else it gets me a spiffy CD with music by Jeremy Soule and I really have no qualms about throwing large wads of cash at ArenaNet because I like what I've seen of their approach to game design. So I'll throw money at them to communicate that yes I approve of what they are doing.

Holy sh** the collector's edition looks stunning. The statue, a huge art book, soundtrack... definitely worth it, especially for the fans. Like me!

I'm going to have fun taking screen shots of the game, and photoshopping them as well.

Re: Guild Wars 2

They remind me of the guys in DCUO who (coming from other regular MMOGs) would just stand still taking hits even though they could've evaded most of the damage. Then wondered why I was the only one left standing. <_<;

But GW2 is looking awesome.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I just hope I can get my collector's edition from Amazon or something, because I really and truly do not want to have to deal with GameStop to get my CE goodies. Unfortunately they are the only brick and mortar video game distributor in town, so unless ArenaNet's going to partner with an online distributor for this, I might be screwed.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I seriously doubt they wont be selling it through Amazon at least.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I really hope so. I know they'll be selling the normal retail version through amazon, that thing's been listed for quite a while. It's just gonna be such a bummer if I can't get the collector's edition through Amazon. My hatred for GameStop is probably enough to trump my enthusiasm for Guild Wars 2. I don't want to have to deal with that scenario playing out.

Re: Guild Wars 2

So have we all purchased our collector's editions? I actually just went for the digital deluxe, mostly because I figure I can buy the other preorder bonuses separately on ebay if I want them. Like that awesome artbook...

Anyways, make sure you've purchased before next weekend, when the first Beta starts!!!!!!!!

Re: Guild Wars 2

I wanted to get the Collector's Edition, but then they decided it was a good idea to only let GameStop sell it...and then all communications broke down and I decided it wasn't worth the trouble to give my money to GameStop(something I absolutely do not want to do in the first place) when there were massive communications breakdowns between them and ANet over what a pre-purchase entailed.

So yeah, fuck all that nonsense, I'm just gonna wait for a release date and probably order from Amazon. Kinda bummed about not getting the Collector's Edition though.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I plan on pre-purchasing the Digitial Deluxe myself . . . however, still holding on to a healthy dose of skepticism, I'm holding out until the aftermath of the first one or two Public Beta Weekend Events are out in the open, for all the 'net to see.

If it lands somewhere in-between "Disappointing let-down" and "Still WAY too good to be true," you can count me in.
