So I perordered the non-CE physical copy of Heavensward for the PC through Amazon, and haven't seen a code yet.
I've heard all kinds of rumors running around. Some people who have ordered from amazon.de have said they got theirs, some people have said Amazon isn't getting them at all, I've heard you need to call them and complain to the right people to get one, I've heard that they will come out later and to be patient.
Can anyone out there confirm that they have gotten a code from Amazon? Some official response that codes are in fact going to Amazon to go out would be wonderful (besides the comment Yoshi-P made about 3rd party retailers, such as Amazon, getting theirs later on).
If they aren't getting it, I'll cancel and order from SE to make sure, but that $25 gift card I had~!
Any info would be appreciated!
Amazon preorder codes? Anyone?

Does anyone know if we will get access to our in-game items on the day of early access?
I kinda want to use my Fantasia potion right away to change to Au Ra but not sure if I will get it in the mail the day of early access? -
05-13-2015, 12:49 PMMagistrellaIf it's the same as in 2.0 release you'll get the items the moment you enter the code in the mogstation. Or if you preordered the second you log in the first time after maintenance ^^Quote:

You do not get 30 days with purchasing an expansion. Only the bundle for Mac/PC users and the base game itself have that included.

So for the PS3/PS4 is the expansion coming out on disc or a code in a game case for people to buy at stores or is this all digital download now?

Awesome thanks for confirming that Bayohne! Glad it is not the case that players who order from Amazon will not have a pre-order benefit.
Personally keeping my order on SE's inhouse store since for what I want my money to go to, the store makes the most sense. -

Hi,
Amazon.it is not giving codes. I asked them today, and they do not know anything about preorders. This is bad :( -

Will Amazon get Collector's Edition boxes or will only be the digital codes?
-
05-14-2015, 03:52 AMVeloxSomeone may want to forward the SE sales team that Amazon is telling customers the pre-orders won't include the early-access and item-redemption codes. This is why a lot of people are unsure. They are receiving mixed messages between the two, with SE saying yes and Amazon saying no.Quote:

I plan on waiting to 2 weeks before early access before cancelling to avoid any unforseen hassles but id hate to go through the trouble and have them go out the next day.Quote:

UPDATE!: Just checked again, says the code will be going out on 6/19. Cutting it close... maybe too close for comfort. Looks like ill be having to deal with SE store again.

05-14-2015, 04:59 AMVeloxGlad they finally updated it. Let's hope the sales reps got the memo :PQuote:

05-14-2015, 06:53 PMSartoriThis, talked to them also, they said to contact SE about any pre order codes so somebody didn't get the pre-order memo.....Quote:

I preordered from Amazon once.... once. My copy of Dragon Age Inquisition came out a week late. I already got the codes from GameStop & SE.

Amazon's description of how the codes work is:
So what is "Square’s dedicated website" for this? It sounds from that description like it's somewhere separate from the MogStation (though I'm not sure if that's the case).Quote:
Both Early Access and DLC will be run through one combined code that will be emailed starting 6/19. Once customers receive the codes, they will have to go to Square’s dedicated website, select their platform, and another code will be generated. They then take this other code and enter it into either PSN (PS3/PS4) or MogStation (PC).

05-27-2015, 06:48 AMNiwashiI'd be okay with it if there's no issue with it. The problem is that with them not sending codes out until 4 days (and half of that a weekend) before release, that really doesn't allow much chance to find out if there's an issue with it and pre-order from somewhere else instead if there is. If we don't get our pre-order code from Amazon on the 19th, can we still pre-order from GameStop or somewhere on the 20th and really rely on the assumption that they'll be able to give us a pre-order code and not have run out of them by that point? Unfortunately, I don't know of any place whose pre-order service is really reliable enough to try doing it in the final couple days before release.Quote:
