why does one of the 3 list as free but it is unclaimable.

oldbaldyone · September 2016

I can't personally see me buying this, but I'll agree they made it an enticing deal. 2 Runic Bags are 3200 zen alone and the rest of it is more than worth 1400 zen. Next 50% off Zen market sale, the botters will eat these up like candy.

Meanwhile, the gateway has been down since Friday....

Bind on pickup

Premade level 70 characters is an awesome idea

That way when I meet newer players and invite em to join the guild n stuff I wont have to wait like a year for them to be able to run epics!

For some reason, it's appearing thrice in the "New" category. Also, one is free? I didn't notice that until I was cropping the screenshot. The Recruitment Order is in the "Service" category for anyone thinking about coupons or sales.

tagnusironsord · September 2016

The "free" one doesn't seem to be an option. I have an open character slot, so that shouldn't be the problem.. 5 characters at L70, and a new one just under L30. Anyone able to claim it?

beckylunatic · September 2016

Guarantee you they're not giving away an item they've valued at $50US. Display bug.

izwor · September 2016

Are all of these rewards bound or not? I'm intrested in buying it because of @x Runic Bags of Holding.

wolfboy13579 · September 2016

anyone know how long this package is going to last in the store? i am not seeing any time limit on it.

You can see from the screenshots that some of the items are bound. The bind icon is in the upper right corner. There's a minuscule chance that the bags are bind to account, but they probably bind to character.

omgitszeph · September 2016

and so it begins

this will be awesome for family and freinds who would like to join in the adventure but simply dont have the time to create and level /gear/ outfit a character to do so. Two bags and a nice mount, retrain token to tweak up your character to your specific liking, and an extra character slot, make this a good value also. Thanks for this cool deal guys !!

I interpret the statement "offered first to experienced adventurers" for a limited time, to mean we are the test subjects/promo staff, to test and to see how high a demand there will be for this sort of item, and if we like them then perhaps they will be made available to everyone.

darkphenomenons · September 2016

i personally think its a little bs. everyone so far that has 70s and have worked their HAMSTER off for it are pretty much getting shafted. i feel like they should keep the free one up and give one free one to everyone who already had a level 70 on their account. of course that will never happen. all they live for is to shaft loyal old players like for example taking coal wards out of the trade bar store. forget old players and only ever worry about new ones without taking care of us right? thanks ark for nothing.

Anyone talking about newbies/botters being able to jump on these needs to read a bit closer.

Honestly? They're template characters with a suboptimal build and mediocre equipment, much of which is simply handed to your character for reaching level 70 naturally. They come with a few goodies and a nice mount (for now). Levelling to 70 is only the beginning of the working your tail off to build up a character in NW, none of which a premade character has done for you.

The price reduction on the campaign completions has more impact on anyone who wants something to complain about (not that I'm complaining about it).

bbrightstone · September 2016

So essentially, now a Sigil of the XXXXX is $50. That's what my take away from this is. Why spend a total of 2 hours getting to 60 when you can pop 5000 zen and get an instasigil.

Because 5000 zen is (nominally) 50 dollars? I mean, yeah, not really, but still: it's not exactly cheap.

evemj · September 2016

Not liking the mount.
Bags are nice.
As stated above, access to a Sigil is nice... but not for this price.
Not having to grind the EE borefest is nice.
Most player will want to change the weps from the get-go.

Not sure any of this is worth my money.
I'd much rather pick and pay from a list where the more I buy, the more I save.

Oh, and account-wide campaign completion tokens are a must. Does anyone even buy these?

beckylunatic · September 2016

If you only want the character for the sigil, and you'd rather spend 5k Zen than go leech XP from your guildies in the SH for a few hours (since that's how I know of that you can level to 60 in 2 hours), I don't see why anyone should care. If levelling to 60 is that trivial already, what difference does it make?

cilginordek · September 2016

Welp, I deleted my character thinking I could claim the free one. Thanks I guess.

File a support ticket. They may be able to recover it for you, though it will probably take some time.

In the Zen Market it said "Limited time only."

xkrz8xdeath · September 2016

Hope this goes on Xbox 1 I want a 70 healer buffer and. Maybe a gf I leveled up some characters but gave up lol lack of time I have to play now I can just buy 70 awsome th nd strum

dread4moor · September 2016

After reading all the comments and reflecting on 3 years in game I have a few thoughts about this scheme.
It seems like a good idea. For this game to thrive it needs new, serious players. . Most of the friends and guildies I've started with are long gone.

And it is hard to get new players to come to the game and invest the 12hours/week for 3 months it would take to run high level dungeons.

This plan lowers that barrier a bit. It is certainly not pay to win: none of those items is remotely BiS and all the campaigns still need to be completed..

I will be cautiously optimistic about this.

They must already have a 70 though, so this isn't for brand new players. And it tosses them right into the grind (arguably the worst part of the game) with no knowledge of their class....

I dont know....I dont think this will be used for what they expect.

sorce · September 2016

Can someone advise if the mounts are bound? I wouldnt mind a fancy Owlbear on my main...

meirami · September 2016

What about Epic Experience Boosters? They cost exactly the same amount as a freshly-minted lvl 70 character, but don't come with runic bags or any other items.

The mount appears to be bind to account on pick-up. One of my friends bought this last night.
