So 1pm CST on Monday? S-E better limit it to one per customer, and the site better be able to hold the traffic. I want my PC Heavensward CE.

The time/date has been confirmed?

I just want to know if it's exclusive to SE's online store. I hope it isn't, their cost in shipping to Canada is ridiculous.

Thanks for this.

The "LIMITED" part worries me. Even if it's available on regular sites within Canada, it'll likely be in seriously low quantities. I might just go ahead and pre-order with SE [if I can] just to be safe. Waiting for a Canadian site to maybe list it [and sell out within minutes] is probably not worth the risk to me.

We'll see.

The Dark Knight can use dark powers to create an aura that would act as a buff. You would have to manage your MP to keep that buff on you or you can use the MP for Area Effect Direct Damage (AEDD). It’s going to require a lot of resource management to manage your MP.You will utilize MP to draw from the power of darkness either on yourself for defense or to use it to attack for offense. That’s the kind of style the Dark Knight tank will be.


So what exactly is Area effect direct damage? And does this mean that Dark Knight will be able to hold its own dps wise if in a battle that requires 2 tanks?

On that note, Paladins not using MP shouldnt be a thing...ever. They should still be viable with some sort of holy dot, or backup heals...something.

You can kinda help in T13 by stoneskinning people who gets earthquaked while tanking, though you'll get interupted every now and then and it really doesn't help all that much, but if you're not tanking the tethers even those crappy 600hp stoneskins can actually make the difference. But yeah it's kinda dumb, there's even a way to gain mana back but the only real tool using mana is Flash, and that seems like an afterthought more than anything else.

I think the most annoying thing about Divebombs at these point is that, realistically, I'm too short to be getting hit. They should just fly right over me! Shortness should be my secret weapon in my war against eating the wall.

But noo, everyone has the same hitbox. This injustice.

...wow this is a terrible top-of-the-page post. Keep scrolling to hopefully hit the live letter information in the near future.

That's going to be like...$149.99 CDN [if a Canadian site offers it]. Unless the statue is super-amazing, I might go for the digital version after all.

I'm probably going to get the physical CE anyway. ;_;

Looks like it might be cutscenes and/or PVs.

Is there an edition with the in-game bonus items and no physical stuff? Just don't think we want two physical editions around here. (edit: I think he just answered my question. Digital Download should come with the in-game items like the mount and that yeah?)

Well it worked that way for ARR, didn't it?

edit: hopefully the servers are more resilient this time round come release

Did they say if the physical CE edition is going to be exclusive to the SE store or is it going to be available from other retailers?

The damn SE store doesn't ship to my country even though its in the EU...

It's not a store exclusive. I know Gamestop was definitely mentioned.

Wow, Yoshi is really explaining the pre-order mechanics to us. I feel like this pre-order boss is a tough one, maybe he'll show us a clear video of how to pre-order.

Fuck it, we need to buy both versions to play on PC/PS4

You need to log out in an area that is in ARR in order to log in on a different platform that doesn't have Heavensward

How's that gonna work, I mean if you log off in a new zone or whatnot? Are they gonna move the player to an old zone if he tries to log in on another platform, or, what?

You won't be able to log into your "lesser" account until you log out into the earlier zones/aren't using Heavensward features.

Also:

If you have a 20GB HDD PS3.

Too bad for you.

Upgrade that HDD to a larger capacity. /Yoshida

They said you want to log off in an ARR zone if you do that, I assume otherwise it'll just tell you you don't have the license to log in.

Ahhahaha, they really addressed this issue.

WILL I BE ABLE TO PLAY ON PS3 with 20GB HDD?

SPOILERS: YOU'RE BONED

There aren't any working launch PS3s on Earth anymore anyways, Yoshi.

I hope they have an upgrade or addon further down the road for that. Like a "pay 20 dollars to get another licence" kind of thing. Just started playing the game again after having played it in limited capacities back in 1.0 and am having fun.

Well down the road, you'll be able to buy boxed copies that didn't sell for less. Like ARR is 10-20euros now, I even got a PS3 version for 5 euros(was last few copies from a shop though, it's gone now). Considering base price is 40bucks, I'd expect 6months later or whatever you'll find boxed versions for 20 pretty easily.
