Because the website doesn't state when the Pre-Order rewards will become available to the player, and since the game is in a fully capable position to deliver the promised rewards (technically speaking, a small patch might be necessary), I was under the impression the Pre-Order rewards would be applied immediately; to be found in my mail.
Now, I understand the Early Access portion doesn't start until 19th. So when do we get our rewards? As a Steam user, I believe I have 14 days or two hours of play -after- the release of Heavensward to decide if I want a refund.
Since I didn't get rewarded instantly for pre-ordering, do we get our rewards:
- on the 19th?
- on the launch day for Heavensward?
- 14 days after the launch of Heavensward?
Also, please specify in the future for "Pre-order" rewards the dates rewards will be delivered. When you pre-order games in retail locations, you sometimes get rewards on the spot (like a poster or mini-figure). It wasn't at all clear to me on the descriptions of the Pre-Order bonuses that I wouldn't receive the items promised in-game immediately, and spent quite a bit of time looking in-game and on the web, and begging others to help clarify the situation for me. It only becomes clear as it is obvious nobody else has the rewards yet either.
