Talk:Guild Wars Eye of the North Prerelease Bonus Pack

Access to the GW:EN Sneak Peek Weekend
Players who pre-order Guild Wars: Eye of the North will gain access to the Sneak Peek Weekend, August 24–26, 2007

Does anyone know if you only get acess to this event only if you buy the pack, or it will be avalibale to everyone even if you dont buy the pack.- Strato (talk)  16:40, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * The wording implies that only only those who get it will be able to, but official confirmation is lacking. [[Image:GDSig.JPG]] 16:58, 18 July 2007 (CDT)


 * What do you think? Not exactly theoretical astrophysics here.  —ǥȓɩηɔɧ 〚₮/ḉ〛 17:30, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

Contributing to unlocking Bonus Mission Pack?
Does the Pre-Release Pack count towards the $29 USD (€26/£17) that you have to spend to receive the Bonus Mission Pack?--Jingomania 04:33, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Why wouldn't it? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:48, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * If you have to pay for it in the online shop than the answer is obviously going to be: Yes! That is, if you buy it within set timelimits. But I don't know if AreaNet will charge anything for it in their online shop. If they do I might as well go get it for free at the retailer down the street since ordering GW:EN alone online will already be enough for acquiring the Bonus Mission Pack.

 * The Prophecies Collector's Edition (equivalent to pre-order I guess) is available in the online store for no extra fee, I think. Factions pre-order is not available at all, neither is Nightfall. So for EotN I am not sure what will happen. If my hunch is correct, buying GW:EN online will automagically include the Prerelease Bonus Pack. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:56, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I hope so, for most users ... I recently bought 3 extra character slots to play with more primary professions, so I will get it anyway :)) --- : Jill Bioskop X ( T | C )  05:01, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Online store doesn't have it!
I just checked the online store (the one accessed from the character selection screen) and the Guild Wars Eye of the North Prerelease Bonus Pack is nowhere to be found.--Zathic 09:41, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Same. Odd since I received an e-mail flyer just now which says it should be available now. Arshay Duskbrow 14:02, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * EDIT: It is available at NC.com though. I just upgraded my account. Although, even though I've used the key, my preorder weapons aren't being created... Arshay Duskbrow 14:28, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * You do know you only get the Bonus Mission Pack if you buy through the Guild Wars Official Store, right? Capcom 14:39, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Buying GW:EN itself from the online store will cover that. This prerelease is only $4.99, that wouldn't have helped much in any case. I'm a bit angry the bonus weapons aren't already loaded though. Arshay Duskbrow 14:57, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Pre-Order Weapons!
If you want to see them go to the official Guild Wars Site in the pre-order section! TheDrunkenHobo 09:51, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

I bought the prerelease pack, but the weapons don't show up in my inventory when I use the /bonus command. Are they not allowing the weapons to be used yet? 72.130.154.205 18:11, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm pretty sure they haven't been released yet --Gimmethegepgun 18:11, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * New update last night/this morning, July 20/21, type /bonus to get them. Gravemind 08:27, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

Missing Assassin, Dervish, and Paragon Bonus Weapon
It's a bit weak there isn't a bonus weapon for all professions. At first it looks like it's only the core professions included, but Ritualist is included as well. Couldn't they have added 3 more, when they already did 7 professions? --Lexxor 10:17, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Think about it as core, and Rits got lucky cause they use staves as well. 6+1 != 10-3 [[Image:Canada_39x40.png|19px]] Thedarkmarine 15:43, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Trilogy Trial
If you purchased the Prerelease Bonus Pack in the online store, how do you get access to the Trilogy Trial keys? Or is it already bundled together with the Prerelease Pack for that account? Which also means that it's non-transferable to another account... &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nightwind (contribs).

Cheeper EotN?
By reading the red text here sparked my interest. Cutting 5 Euro of the retail game would be nice IF it would work for the GW in-game store, but I don't see any such info anywhere else. Anyone know anything? &mdash; Poki#3, 04:38, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

Images
Added Images of each of the weapons, sorry if they are not particularly good, it's my first time uploading an image to the wiki. The screenshots are all with a ranger character, someone may want to upload some with the correct profession using them? -- Turkwoyz 12:11, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * There were two problems... First, pictures had already been submitted and no problems were found with them. Secondly, your pictures were in .png format, and not the suggested .jpg format. --Ruricu [[Image:SoD2.jpg|Shield of Deflection is purty!]] ( Talk • Contribs) 12:15, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Ah, sorry, it didn't occur to me that they might allready exist in a different format (I just used the same format as the example code had) I'll delete the files and find/use the all ready existing files. sorry. (I feel a right idiot now :/) -- Turkwoyz 13:41, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

Hourglass Staff
The description notes that there are five versions of this staff, corresponding to the 5 caster-class primary attributes. However, there is actually only one version of the staff, with reqs for all 5. This leads me to believe the description needs to be re-worded. Anyone agree? --Ruricu ( Talk • Contribs) 12:18, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Looks like someone did. :D --Ruricu [[Image:SoD2.jpg|Shield of Deflection is purty!]] ( Talk • Contribs) 19:40, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
