Grace period iirc for launch was 1week, I'd assume the same. Might have been 2weeks but too lazy to try to find info about it, but yeah there's some time before you have to enter an actual code from the box.

/Insert terrible joke about months-long loot timer and failing the roll here
I ended up ordering again and this time I got a confirmation email. If I end up with duplicate orders I will demand SE to cancel one of them. It's their fault really for the mess the store is in. I'm sure many will probably end up with more than one copy pre-ordered, what with all of the errors it's giving.
Oh well, at least I have ONE copy pre-ordered and confirmed. Now I can relax a little.
For now.

I would never get approved for anything credit related.

Why would you do that? You only need to get the CE once as it's tied to your accoun. just get a normal expansion on the other platform
Or are you buying it for someone else

rip I think i ordered the digital ce twice
Ah I see. Well hopefully SE won't be dicks and charge right now. Really, all retailers should only have these right to charge for the entire thing upon shipment.
Lol fanfare played in my mind when that email hit. Had an alarm set for order starts to fate music.
I wanted the physical CE, but my disc drive on my PC doesn't work and I haven't honestly used it for years, so I'm forced to get that digital. I also wanted a physical CE and have the regular PS4 version. I'll just give my extra CE item codes from my physical one to my buddy, but I wanted the CE items ASAP for myself when the game comes out.
Like I said I am revising Main Scenario in preparation for 2.55 and HW and once again I have stumbled upon a piece of translation inconsistency that possibly rivals that one concerning Midgardsormr but is not entirely unconnected.
In the story, Iceheart, or rather Priestess of the Frost, appears genuinely angry at the player character and outright calls them blind followers of the will of others that begets war. However, Japanese script characterizes Ysayle a bit differently. She's dumbfounded that her desires and hopes were not enough, and her informing us of the presence of an underlying reason behind the Dragonsong war looks like a plea rather than an angry accusation. Ignoring cheeky unfounded references to "Answers" (in Japanese, it's just a callback to Haydelyn's call of "Hear, Feel, Think" and that's it) it was Ysayle who first relayed to the adventurer that we're to be prepared to fight with our own strengths rather than falling back on the blessing of Hyadelyn, which connects her to Midgardsormr, and this is only passingly implied in English version. Furthermore I don't like how the fact that the player character is a dumb slave to somebody else's will is a persisting narrative in the English script. Regardless of how true that might feel to actual players, this just isn't what they're going for with the Japanese script.
I'm seriously astonished and it seems discrepancies might run far deeper than just "Oh, dragons speak like that, deal with it - Koji, 2015"
While these alterations I see never drastically alter the whole of the story, some of the characterization choices and finer details are definitely questionable.
And I swear if they use the expression "to rise to the chorus" one more time...

Thanks for this--it's interesting in that I think it's a big diversion from the 'normal' method and normal is borrrrring.
So if I remember the order of and number of things properly (and I might not, it's all a mess in my memory now), HE/B4B/Barrage come up again right before second Earthshaker and would still be running during third Megaflare, with Raging coming up at the tail end of third Mega. Do you just hold them all until P2? I've done that occasionally with HE/etc if I got targeted for Earthshaker and thought we'd push really close to Megaflare, but then I think I wound up with nothing but maybe IR for the second add. I think. I should pay attention maybe.
I seriously feel bad for you guys.They just said it's not going live today... delayed.
To wait that long, not to mention the hell of trying to pre-order, only to get hit with a "Sorry, check back later!" situation...

Finally got mine and the confirmation e-mail.

Are there any GAF members on Sargatanas that would like to play sometime?

Seems Square really likes fucking around with characterizations lately...

I'm on Sargatanas. Pat Ceravic is my name!
Still can't get checked out btw. If I get fucked over and don't get a CE because Square can't build a fucking website then I probably will just skip Heavensward.

Absolutely! I lead the GAF-ish FC on Sargatanas. Eithne Rain is my characters name. I'm usually avaiable in the evenings pacific time. Although, been having PC issues. Dead sticks of RAM, hopefully remedied today.
Do you guys have a LS? I have a FC of old friends that I wouldn't ever want to leave but always looking for more LS to connect with people.
Yeah I can get you into our social LS. Which is how we network with folks outside of the FC. GAF or not.

What I'm saying is that you only have to get the collectors edition for the ps4 and you'll have the CE items for both pc and ps4 as long as you get a standard Hevansward key for pc. No need to waste an extra 20 bucks if you don't have to.
Yeah, I understand that. My problem is that the PS4 physical CE won't come day one since it has to be shipped, and I am an impatient man and will want my CE items ASAP.

so wait a second, if you preorder the PC version on the site, it's not the Steam version? Is this right?

They'll email you the code. Preordering gives you early access anyways
Yeah you have to preoder off Steam I believe and it's digital only.

Yeah I think I'm gonna try gamestop/best buy so I won't have to deal with shipping and if they don't have the CE then I'll just get it digitally.

Just a heads up for everyone having trouble with the SE site, my Amazon iOS app just updated with an "Edition" choice. It only has Standard Edition listed but it should soon have the Collectors since it just happened about 30 minutes ago.

wow this is fucking bullshit
i pre ordered the PC version on the site (BECAUSE IT FUCKING SAYS, "PC DOWNLOAD"), and I just found it's not for Steam.
Why would it be for Steam? They had their own non-steam version out a long time before there was a Steam version. You thought they were going to be selling a version that the majority of their customer wouldn't have been able to use? Why?

all i can hope now is to get a refund. I really don't want to have to buy the game twice just to play Heavensward.

Reading through various forums all day, a lot of people genuinely do not understand how the whole system works with pc/steam/console and the different region locks for codes. I'm sure there are people who think that the physical version for pc actually includes a disc they have to put into their computer when it's just the exact same code you'd get from digital. It's nothing new in the world of mmos/digital games but you can tell a lot of people that play this game don't have a ton of experience with that stuff.
