Guild Wars 2

Does anybody know if there will, or will not be a physical collector’s edition, just as with the initial release?

On the shop site of Guild Wars 2 there is talk about a Standard, a Deluxe and a Ultimate but nothing about a collector’s edition, I also checked out some game-stores but there I can only see Standard editions so I was wondering if there has been any conformation about this?

I also don’t see any difference between the Ultimate and Deluxe edition other than some gems, but that might be me.

I answered this in another thread, but no problem will do again:) Sorry to dissapointed you, answer is no (i have CE also, i’m superior dissapointed and considering to buy only base version as punishment to Anet).

Yes the ultimate is just that: Deluxe + discounted gem package (half price then usual for 4000 gems). Nothing else is ‘special or ultimate’ about ultimate edition. Knowing Anet they need money, and they just will sell all the things (except rytlock mini maybe) in gem shop as upgrade or stonealone. For me deluxe only holds 1 thing i want, and that’s guild hall upgrade.

Thnx, I did also read the Faq now, and it is even worse, if you would want a physical copy and the Ultimate edition that is also not possible. WTF?:S

Physical editions will only be available in Normal and Deluxe. I want the Deluxe at least, was thinking about the Ultimate if there was no CE edition simply because it would be a nice addition to my Collectors Edition (on the table) but that is of course not possible with a digital copy, and for the people who do care for the gems (I don’t, but if it would be a nice box that said Ultimate (maby made of metal instead of plastic) it might have be more of a reason to buy it than the gems) and want a physical copy they are also out of luck. I don’t really get this choice to be honest.

Just for the record, the faq does not say for 100% there will be no CE available “There are no plans for a physical collector’s edition for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns.”, there are no plans is not, no. I guess they have until the 23th to make up there mind about that, so if Anet is reading, please reconsider that. Sell next to the standard and deluxe edition also a CE addition, simply include the same as the Ultimate (or more) and sell it with a little different box, like a metal case or something like that. That would make many people happy I’m sure.

(I do understand that even if they would change their mind before June 23 it will be impossible to have it in the shops by then, but as long as we then know it’s coming.. or not)
