goddamn it..
fighting the desire to preorder as well.. I dont need another game to play.. I am not playing planetside 2 right now despite dropping bucks for the fun on that... fuck fuck fuck..
Not sure how I feel about an already planned 5 DLC packs.
It is a pretty reasonable way to monetize something without having to go to a subscription model. That way if you don't want the DLC don't buy it or download it.
The codes give some nice rewards and some dumb rewards, but inventory slots are inventory slots. I entered 120 just because I wanted the ammo scavenger perk early.
The "race as DLC" thing annoys me, because what with your race being entirely cosmetic there's no need to reroll, and I really want to know which race it is so I can decide what I think looks coolest to play.

This multiplied by one billion. I don't think they are being knowingly malice, I just wish they would let us know to avoid confusion and potentially the time it takes to reroll/catch up.
I also haven't heard any official statements on if any preorder XP bonuses sum together or if the largest one is the only one taken into account. It would be nice if they added together, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Also, reading the official PC forums yesterday it appears theres no word on an preload. Although, I assume like most MMOs these days, the beta client can just be updated to the release client come Day 0.
I'd say with Tier 3 they might fudge things a bit if necessary. It comes with a discount off the Season Pass and getting that to everyone who's pre-ordered would probably mean quite a few sales of it.
Also, having the preorders not reach that number is a bit of bad ... I forgot the word where people pay attention to stuff. So it actually reaching to full is good for them.
Edit: Also, also! Gonna pre-order on Steam now. I can't pass up the chance to snag Storm Legion for free, cause I KNOW when I want my WoW itch I can just go back to Rift and it'll embrace me like a loving foster parent.
Meh... More people to play with plus more rewards. Win/Win to me.
I wasn't around for Rift's launch, so I'm not schooled up on how well Trion handled that game's opening. I'm still debating taking off work though... which has burned me in the past. Ha.

I never played Rift either (though now I might for a bit as I'll get it on Steam with Defiance) but at least post-launch it seems Rift was supported and had a lot of content added to it. Trion seems to run MMOs well.
The launch was really smooth. It wasn't perfect, I think I had a screenshot where there were problems and my ping jumped to 35,000, but it never really crashed, it was pretty stable aside from very spread out problems. They did a real good job, and I really enjoyed their constant updating, so I'm a huge fan of Trion.

Fine with me, though.
EDIT: Okay yeah definitely, now we're at 44% to reward 2.
Probably in reference to this: http://www.defiance.com/en/dlc/pc/?CAS_REDIR=true

Well, if you've already put all that work in for it you might as well really...
FFXIV - Milliardo Beoulve/Sargatanas
Despite having watched the promo show (which I thought was terrible, but I'm picky).
And despite entering the 120 promo codes.
But I'm definitely not pre-ordering.
But for people who are, which pre-order bonuses are best? I see everyone seems to have lots of different ones.
http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/08/trion-offering-a-defiance-season-pass-with-dlc-new-species-and/ seems to think that there'll be another playable race included in this DLC. Seems fairly major. But I suppose we'll see what they actually do with it and if $10 ($8 if you get the pass) per DLC is worth it.

And what deals are there for preordering?

GMG is offering 20% off with the code there on the right, which is pretty keen.
25% off instead of 20%
You know, since an extra 5% might push some people over the edge for some reason.
Is this for a physical copy or a download? (Just curious as I can't see the site from work.)
Oh also, this is for Greenmangaming in case anyone was confused.

So I guess there's a release client floating around maybe?

Publicity! That was it.
Yeah... I haven't heard of a single one failing to make all three Tiers yet.
I don't mind though! Tier 3's rewards are rad.

I kind of want to do the deluxe edition, but that's a big jump in price for what seems like not a ton of stuff.
New race seems to just be cosmetic, really.

I am gonna guess a little bit of both.
I wasn't around for Rift's launch, so I'm not schooled up on how well Trion handled that game's opening. I'm still debating taking off work though... which has burned me in the past. Ha.
As I recall, Rift's launch was super smooth.
