    $59 for the standard version? that means it will probally be £40 in the UK knowing them i dont think ill be pre-ordering this anyway as the hype has jut gone stupid and i dont trust games with this much Hype anymore, tho at least we are getting some solid dates from them now..

    I've played enough games over the last 10 years - seen enough crash and burns, up and downs to know that the standard is the way to go...

    The digital deluxe version is basically an elite skill and a non-combat pet. The others are just temporary and two of three can be substituted by just playing the game.

    Not sure if it's worth 20 bucks.. I'd have to see the pet and skill in action.

    Definitely getting digital pre-order though even if I could blow 150 physical CE stuff has always been completely uninteresting for me.

    Golem banker will be useful. now that i read it. Not sure if the chalice is worth it.. But the banker will have to make it a bit more easier to bank,,Who really likes banking anyway? Convenience is good

    It won't live up to everyone's hype, everyone wants a daoc 2.. with good pvp.This will be as close as we come for at least another year... maybe 2. Will it live up to it? Probably not. But.. It is guild wars. Just like diablo 3... is diablo .It's not gonna crash and burn.

     

    They said they learned lessons from warhammer.

     

     

    We'll see

     They never live up to the hype. This game looks so superior to GW1 though. I am looking forward to that beta key that I am sure will come my way:)

     

    Edit: I don't know if I can afford to continue to buy these darned collectors editions. Geez.

    $150 for CE...

    And people wondered how they were going to make money as a B2P game ;).

    Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

    Seems like a new industry standard.

    Actually I've seen plenty of games live up to the hype...just not typically MMO's. :p

    I should of been clearer. But you know what i meant :)

    Don't come crying to me when I meet you on the battlefield during the headstart and I whip out my mistfire wolf to eat your face souls.  I will pay 2 win you nubs.

    I am not so sure everyone wants DaoC 2. The first game had a very loyal fan base but it was never that large, even here a poll if people ever played DaoC would probably not give that high resaults and a lot of people here are vets.

    Just compare box sales of DaoC with sales of the original GW, one of those games are on the pc top 10 list and it sure ain't DaoC.

    I think most people actually want Wow 2...

    When you see the Asura mesmer doing a /rofl animation after turning your wolf into a Moa just to watch you rage, that'll be me.

     OK... you correct me correctly. that is a 100% trueism you just said. MMO crowd is a tough one and most game fail to hit the mark completely.

    Preordering digitally, dont care much for the boxes anymore (just take space)

    I am going for digital deluxe , golem banker might be handy - and i feel they deserve extra 15$ anyway

     

    hmmm

    Golem banker only worth 5 days ?

    It may not be that good after all ...

    Or MMO devs usually make rather shoddy games...

    I don't think it is just the players, most singleplayer games have a lot less bugs and do what they should better than most MMOs.

    In-game advances for money??

    And I'm talking aboutthe Wolf pet, all the other things are one or limited time only.

    Loke666,

    PVP People want 2 things.

     

    1. Sandbox  and everything that goes with it.. ffa pvp,politics etc..  They aren't very likely to get this because it is a low subscription market... Just look at Dominus, it's got potential and Sanya from Mythic, but it is early alpha... and sci fi ... MEH . Archeage who knows when and if it's gonna release, world of darkness? nobody knows anything..There is nothing else otherwise.

    3 faction pvp has been long awaited again, people know 2 faction is fail.

    I sure as hell don't want wow 2.. Just think about how unskilled and craptastic wow pvp was... ehhh blizzard can't do pvp, hell they even removed it from d3 because they can't get it right for release.... yet

     

     

    I guess pve people could want wow 2, but who else in their right minds would?

  • SythionSythion Member Posts: 422

    Wow.

     

    Anyone remember the GW1 CE? It had an art book, making of cd, a decent headest and a free 3 month subscription to teamspeak. And it was like 59.99

     

    This one is real sad in comparison. Digital for me.

    Well there is a mini pet, and a wolf elite skill.  They are both different and not one time.  Still the skill is going to boil down to a collectors item if anything, but yes this is a slippery slope.  Were I they I wouldst not hath done what it is they hath done.
