Talk:Guild Wars: Game of the Year Edition

I'm noticing that my Factions characters aren't starting with the GotY items anymore.
 * One of the recent patches changed it so you always have to use /preorder or /bonusitems. --68.142.14.19 10:23, 22 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Useful for a low cost way to equip heros before you can pay for or obtain powerful weapons. Urock 20:45, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

Factions
I merged my factions account with the game of the year edition and started some prophecies characters. I did not get the items. Why is this?
 * See above. --Rainith 12:52, 23 July 2006 (CDT)

Do you get all 7?
Do you get the lot (is that 7 per character?). I'm not planning on buying a second copy of Nightfall so I might buy this instead &mdash; Skuld 15:45, 4 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, you do. In the online store, there's now an option to upgrade your prophecies account to have the 7 bonus items for around $5. --Ctran 15:37, 21 December 2006 (CST)

Dropping
Is there a way to drop bonus items that aren't needed? (There is no point wasting space in my ranger's inventory for a hammer).

Attributes
Is there any competitive advantage to the way the requirement attribute of the item does not match up with the benefit attributes? As far as I can tell, most of these items can not even be replicated with the PvP item creator due to the difference in attributes benefitted. (If this made any sense...)

 * I'm sure there are some situations where it'd be helpful, but I can't see it being a big difference. I always assumed these items, and the very first preorder items, had the mixed attributes not because they were good but because the devs or whoever created the items hadn't quite figured out how builds and items would end up interacting. That, or they wanted items where at least one of the bonuses could be used by pretty much any build. — HarshLanguage [[Image:qswearing_small.png|HarshLanguage]] 03:21, 31 December 2006 (CST)

Are these bonus items like the packs for nightfall and faction, that it can be recreated if you delete them to save space?
 * Exactly like the bonus items from nightfall, and yes.-- 20:03, 18 January 2007 (CST)

Can you use the /bonusitems command on several charaters or just one character?
 * If its like Pre-Order Packs, where you can make the weapons on any character you create, I'll buy GotY to equip my heroes. If not, forget it. Urock 20:53, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Suffix mods on bonus weapons.
I'm not sure it actually makes the difference when equipped, as I haven't used it yet, but I've actually turned my Poisonous Nevermore Flatbow into an "of Fortitude" recently... Hadn't read it was supposedly impossible, so I tried...

Actually, I added a Hammer Grip of Fortitude to my Sundering Rhino's Charge having also not read this page. However I just verified that I do get the bonus health from the Hammer Grip. Is this just me? Somebody else might want to verify this. **update** It seems you can't salvage the bonus weapons, so you cannot salvage back any upgrades that you have put on them.

EotN?
Why does my game of the year edition say Eye of the North underneath at login? It confuses me verrily.

No extra keys
I bought a hard copy and recieved no keys for Auto Assault, Lineage etc. Nor did I get the Quick Reference sheet. Though I did get an extra CD with the Prophecies soundtrack (like the Nightfall Collector's edition ones.). Are there two copies of this? I bought it in the UK Mid-July, HMV. ---Jamster--- 20:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
