official Guild Wars 2

[Lucas]

True, but those reqs are still really low. A system like that would have to be quite old, right? I can't even think of a card that is sold now with less than 512 mb of vram.

You might have a point there.

It says right on the page for the CE on the official website "msrp: $149.99". I was thinking about the CE before too, but at $150... that's a bit too much imo.

As for the minimum reqs: They may seem low, but when are games ever really playable(and enjoyable) at minimum reqs?

What i really want to know is.... Is that "access to all beta events" a CE only bonus? Or can the people who aren't willing(or simply aren't rich enough) to justify $150 on a single title get it with a normal pre-order? I really hope they don't shaft people by making it a CE only thing.

All pre-orders have access to all beta events.

Ah, that's good.

CE is $150 according to the site. My wallet hates this as my wife wants the CE too lol

Ah, I totally missed that, it's camouflaged into the picture.

And yes, I think all pre orders get access to the beta events, which will probably be considered an open beta anyways. Just like Aions were.

Yeah, it's a little much and sadly disappointing because I have the CE for every other Guild Wars game. I was willing to go as high as $100 but $150 is a little to much.

Same as the Skyrim CE and comes with similar items.

I only ever got the Nightfall CE as originally I was unsure if I'd enjoy the game. I am getting the CE no questions asked this time though.

Got the Thank you e-mail as well, even did the whole like on the facebook page.

If the Collectors edition was <100$ I'd consider it, but the fact it's 150$ that's a bit rich for my blood. I mean, that costs more than my hydro bill for a month.

[DrunkenBeard]

I would have gone for the CE but I'm not sure about the delivery. It could end up costing me more than $150 depending where they're sending it from. I'm going with the Digital Edition as it has some pretty neat stuff and no physical support/bonuses.

[S00N3R FR3AK]

As long ad I can pre order this from amazon or gamestop so I don't have to pay upfront I'm getting the ce.

[Emn1ty]

I really want the CE, but I really don't want to pay that much either.

[Blackhearted]

I don't know if everyone has noticed this little bit, but i'll post about it anyway for those who haven't.

From what i can gather from the faq, you have to pre-purchase(ex. pay in full right away) to get guaranteed beta access as well as the 3-day headstart. If you only pre-order(and pay later), you get no guaranteed beta access and only a 1-day headstart.

Well it's pretty clear on their website :

All pre-purchase editions include these exclusive bonuses:

• Access to all Guild Wars 2Beta Weekend Events
  
• Three days of headstart access
  
• Hero?s Band

Hmm.. I would do pre-purchase if I could do 10 equal payments of 15$ a month :p That or even pay over 3 months, pay 50$ per month or something. But 150$ is a lot to just dump.

AION was okay.. for the two weeks I played it. I bought it at launch, and it wad fun I liked to fly around.. but it got overbearing with all the quests and the huge cities and such.

Wow, those videos are a blast! Can't wait to try it out. See you on the battlefield, everybody! :)

Woot! Just got this in the inbox:

"Congratulations! You've been chosen to participate in an upcoming Guild Wars 2 beta event! To create your beta account and learn more, visit our Guild Wars 2 Beta Account Page. We'll see you in game!

Thank you lady luck!

Umm... :laugh:

Umm... :laugh:

Like I actually care about the NDA :D

[Lucas]

DUDE I WANT!

[Blackhearted]

I hope that's not legit.

[Krome]

Dang it... now I am jealous :(

[Wakers]

That's more than likely fake. People are doing it on Reddit - they're going to beta.guildwars2.com/account/done and just taking a screenshot.

If he just revealed that he's in beta, he's already broken the NDA and he'll be kicked out.

As of a couple of hours ago, the guildwars2 twitter account said that no beta invites had been sent out to members of the public yet, only press.

[Krome]

Thanks for that info Wakers

Like I said; Quoted the text plus image from my inbox. Broke the NDA, but wasn't stupid enough to post my information so they can't really kick me out as they don't know who I'm.

You can see that "create your account" (along with the "Guild Wars 2 Beta Account Page" above it) links to email.guildwars2.com with referral that I censored and not beta.guildwars2.com: http://i.imgur.com/YwhZM.png
