They should just release the stores from the release date restrictions for the 2nd, and allow people to pick up pre-orders only on the 1st. Since they're opening the servers at 9pm PDT on 04/01, for example, why make the west coast wait 12+ hours to get started?
That's the point of a pre-order. You will get it on launch day if you go to a store and pre-order it. Did you expect to get it sooner? Gamestop wouldn't have any editions in the store.Originally Posted by Spaisekraft
yeah dont understand why they "need" to give anything trion isnt responsible for anything a vendor does they already purchased the game from trion i believe. shouldve just baught the digital version then upgraded to the collecters afterwards. you dont pay extra just hte differece
You must be confused. I'm not asking for it early, I'm asking for it on LAUNCH DAY. Because they're shipping it I won't get it until late on the 2nd if I'm really lucky. Looking more at a couple days after.
What I want is for Trion to add Defiance to my account so I can download and play on launch day like everyone else. As it stands I have to wait for my copy to arrive first.
Didital deluxe != ultimate edition.
Trion needed to have given us a way to add the game to our account after we pre-ordered so that we could also pre-download the game and play on launch day.
Instead we have to wait until the physical game actually arrives before we can even put a code in and start downloading.
Guild wars 2 gave a code on the receipt that we could enter on the website to download the game and be ready for launch day, even if our actual physical copy was still being mailed to us. Why can't Trion do that?
Apparently because the $150 for the UE isn't as valuable to them as the $60 for the Digital copy.
I'm trying to talk the folks at the local GS to let me pick it up Monday night, since the servers open right before they close on the west coast. I asked Mathew (Sledge) via Twitter if they'd give the retailers the OK to let us pick up pre-orders on Monday, but I doubt that will happen.
None of the GameStops in my area have said they even have copies in the store.
Btw Puyallup? I live 30 minutes from there.
The sense of entitlement in this thread...jesus christ.
All I can say - welcome to the wonderful worlds of MMO. If you so desperately wanted to play on RD, digital copies are the way to go. You all learnt something this week. Learn from it.
It is not Trion's fault you won't be getting the game until after it is launched, you didn't purchase the game from them. They ship it to their retailers, who then ship it to you, with their own personal delivery T&C. The only people who would deserve a "grace period" would be the EU guys, who have to wait 10 ( TEN!) days to play with their CE copies.
Grow up.
Only if you're not driving on I-5 or 167
I'm going to see if the GS here on Meridian will let me pick mine up Monday night, since the servers will be going live just around the time they close. It's already paid off, so maybe I'll get lucky.
Holy ****. Sense of entitlement is wanting to play it on launch day? Are you ****ing kidding me?
Other MMOs that you can pre-order always come with codes on the receipt so that you can get set up and ready for launch day, even if you are still waiting for the physical copy to arrive in the mail. This is what Guild Wars 2 did.
Trion screwed up and didn't do this, so if you buy an ultimate edition you have to wait for it to actually be in your hands.
If I'm paying over $150.00 for their game then I am entitled to play it on RELEASE. That's why they usually include a code with the receipt.
