	http://gc.digitalriver.com/store?Action=custom&CustomPageEnv=DESIGN&Locale=en_US... In case they shut the page down, a quick c/p: Sure hope they have the codes working in the store. People are gonna be pissed when they buy this early and can't seem to redeem them.

	Blah! I was hoping for a much more exciting top tier. $130 for that?

	There's way too much focus on cosmetic bullshit for the collector edition price. Where are the goddamn XP stones? Instead we get ethereal shrines, lol. What did the scarecrow do anyway?� Just a fighter?

	12 dungeons, raids, and adventure area and a saga as well. 6 different sentient weapon voices. Some interesting stuff. Looking forward to playing it.

	Weapon Aura: Mist looks like a way for everyone else to identify the whales/suckers. Might be worth it if it means you get treated like a human when your TR cache goes tits-up. For $129: - the cosmetics need a persistent clicky effect that doesn't interfere with the hat from MotU, - need to bundle some legacy content that doesn't overlap with what is offered from the other expansions in the store - Include a meaningful amount of DDO points - Boobs and Donuts Someone convert the bundled content into Turbine Point equivalents at sale prices (both historical prices for similar store items and sale prices for the points) so the "actual dollar value" can be compared to something tangible like snow shovels or soup. Haven't spent money on the game since 2013 (Shadowfail).

	No xp tomes, no points, no XP shards... I just don't get it. There is no shortage of cosmetic stuff. How many damn outfits do people need? I spent $139.98 on the last expansion but that at least included the 2000 points plus a 11k point code

	Well my recommendation would be base kit + iconic assface and racial tome whenever those get released. Everything else is hot garbage.

Those are their versions when they are trying very hard to be creative.

	The higher tier expansions aren't even remotely worth the price jump. They're filled with fluff that doesn't do anything useful for you. BASE EXP Ravenloft quests etc Aasimar* "Survivor's package" ULTIMATE EXP Ravenloft quests etc Aasimar* Aasimar iconic Vistani Better "survivor's package" Hirelings 60 days VIP 10 shared bank slots Racial enh point tome Bunch of cosmetic stuff Minor convenience item Vistani will be obtainable via RL favor, the iconic and the racial tome will be available in the store. You're paying an additional $90 for two hirelings, a bunch of cosmetics, and a couple things you can get in the store for far less than the tp equivalent to $90. Who thought this was something people would be interested in buying? ________ Color key: Stuff that you actually want and can only get in this exp Stuff that you might want but will be able to get either in the store or in game without spending $90 Stuff that you either don't want or shouldn't want for $90 *Please note that Aasimar (non iconic) will presumably be available in the store as well, but since it's included in all RL packages it isn't a factor.

	Roughly the same content level as shadowfell - the most agreed upon waste of money when looked through the lense of an xpack. And it's more expensive. Can't say I'm surprised.

	I think I get why they are going out of their way not to include points and instead giving you crap normally purchased with points and months of VIP. Back in the first expansion a lot of people used that large influx of points to get on the premium track and away from VIP. No money to be made there

	The whole point of collectors editions is to include a bunch of garbage that's more or less "Hey...thanks for helping us afford rent next month." If you take a look at DOS:2, Larian which is arguably one of the least scummy/incompetent companies out there right now, their collectors editions have shit like a PDF of the game manual and the sound track. So if you've got money to burn...get an Otto's box. But if you've still got money to burn...get even more Otto's boxes.

Buying the $130 xpack will not garner you any respect, the shitty little fucks they call "GMs" will still treat you like maggot-filled horse shit.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	But those racial tomes could mean value.. the $129 one is well worth it if you play lots of toons.. Those things will be like $10 to $15 a piece.. if you have 10 toons like some guildies and friends i know.. than its totally worth it. And if youre vip all day anyways like myself.. that knocks like $20� off that i was gonna spend later anyways.. . the cheap pack worth of shit is $40.. need that shit either way too.. So for $60 or $70 more i get a good amount of shit... a bunch of garbage too but idgaf.. I have 5 toons i play atm.. thats like $50 worth of tomes min.. was gonna get dat shit 1st thing too.. then At this point im saving like $10 then.. 140 astral shards.. ill take it for free.. the enhancement tree like $15 or so. New iconic.. about $15.. 10 shared bank slots.. like $10 Then all the stupid pets and cosmetics ill never use.. $0 Bottle of mist? Idk about this shit $? Weapon aura... ya id prolly never buy it but free is fine.. $? So im only $20 ahead if i bought all the shit that comes with it..(which i would).. plus any other future toons would have the tomes.. and whatever else.. but ya not a great deal.. should be much better... fuck them. thought it said 6month vip at first..60 days? fuck dat

	Now it may not be worth it ($129) if you dont like vip (i need dat 10% plus i dont any packs really).. And you only have one toon (like most people nowdays) that needs a tome.. and you love to grind tp/already grinded to buy enhancements/iconics.. then.. id go $40 for sure.. but for my needs... got drop that $$$... fuck it..
