The Chill of Ravenloft is now available for Pre-Purchase!

i still have no idea why people would prepurchase as there is no discount.
I can understand why - people who want to regain racial completionist as soon as possible.

But understanding why does not reflect any desire to do it. I am nowhere close to racial completionist, so adding one more to the pile doesn't make me want to go any faster. I'll happily wait several years before buying this with store points.

Where do you get the stuff from once purchased?
"To receive your in-game items, log into the game. Any pets or Mounts will be automatically applied to the Stable tab of your inventory. Your other in-game items can be claimed by logging into the game and speaking with the NPC Olkresh, who is located in Eberron Hall of Heroes, House Jorasco (near the entrance to Ravenloft), and Eveningstar (near the entrance to Ravenloft). Olkresh is a Dragonborn. You may speak with Olkresh at any time to claim your items."

What would you be drop rates for the named items? Would there be Rare Loot Tables like Myth Drannor?

New contents will be fun, but farming rare named items will get burnout very quickly and not fun. I had spent about 2000 shards on Myth Drannor chests reroll, and don't want to do this again.

If no official reply on the named items drop rates, would assume there will be Rare Loot Tables or even worse. Most likely will wait for the xpack to be available for point purchase later instead.

Copied from another thread to possibly get comment from Cordo:

"Fun story... Bought the Ultimate, grabbed the tome listed as Tome of Universal Enhancement +1 (Lamordia). Attempted to use it and receive the error: (Standard): You have already used this Tome."

And yes, I have used the other Universal Enhancement tomes.
Had the exact same experience thinking I would get a 3rd. This is just disgusting.

I KNOW!!! I'm VERY VERY upset by the little caveat.. "Doesn't stack with Morgrave?" WHY NOT???

Sorry. I'm not paying a penny for this until the rare loot mechanic is confirmed as removed from this expansion.

If removed I'll buy the ultimate version. If not, I'll consider whether to either buy anything at all or the basic version.

Either way I'm not spending a single penny without that clarification from SSG. Certainly not on pre purchase. Which regrettably will be e a first for me.

YMMV.

I'm regretting paying them money early... Paying them over $100 to be the first people to realize they didn't test the AP tome is a bit of a rough awakening.
Why order the pre-order version when you literally can't use any of the pre-order benefits until they do a bug fix?

There are some items you get right away. So people want to play with them now.
Like the Destiny point? Doesn't stack with a previous one
Dhampir? well.. kinda... but they didn't add any wishes... so if you don't want to completely waste a life, if you're on a character with no PLs to get, you have to sit around waiting for the Wishes to be finally added to the store so you don't just waste an entire 1-20 for no reason.

The pre-order is a little disaster-y, honestly.

Guess you can ride around on your mounts that have no clipping.

I can do things others can't...
Completionist is missing, so grabbing it now, ensures you have time to regain it earlier; possibly before a new raid release or new server move.

Also, "Flight".

Already allowed family to buzz the Marketplace on my main dressed as Big Blue... :p

Well a lot of gamers also like to play games while they are Early Access or do beta testing. Just let games that want to opt in early have their fun. If it's not your thing then don't and wait for the full release and see if it's something you like or not.

Or... they could test a couple of the options they expect people to pay $130 for?
I want early access. I don't want to buy early access and then get access to nothing until weeks later when they get around to actually releasing it.

That seems like basic QA, no?
