Be patient plz

[Patriotqube]

Imho there is no need to keep screaming for the DLC

and when we will get it

Imho its better to wait for the DLC and give them time to correct all the flaws - espcially the spread and the F thingy, than it is to get the DLC now with the current issues still there.

ppl would just d/l the DLC try new maps and then leave again.

Fix the errors (for pc ) and then give us the DLC plz

just take your time imo.

all the ppl that bought Brink will try it anyway, and with errors gone they might stick around and game would be a small success.

so again, Wait with the DLC til the errors are fixed

[Zekariah]

OK, this is getting ridiculous.

THE DLC IS FINISHED! PPL keep saying wait until it is polished. It IS polished. SD have said it themselves: it has been handed to SONY and MS for certification.

Now we wait on MS and SONY. But this doesn’t mean ppl can’t keep questioning SD where the DLC is, since there has been no official word on what stage the release is at and whether SONY and/or MS have approved the DLC.

But let’s drop this whole “I want to wait until it’s perfect”. It’s done

So let’s see it…

[Patriotqube]

I didnt say the DLC wasnt finished

I said dont hand it out before the other issues are fixed.

and use the DLC to get ppl back to game, and the fixes to keep them there

simple really

[Qbix]

What I don’t get is why they didn’t release the DLC for PC gamers already. No PC gamer has any understanding on why Sony and Microsoft should be responsible for the release of the DLC. Noone cares about the console players. SD already released updates in the past seperately for consoles and PC, why not this time, too?

Because they dont want people on the consoles who are waiting to trade Brink in or buy it to see the PC players dissapointed with the dlc and update

If anything, and normaly as you say they would give the PC it first as its ready and waiting… theres no reason to hold it back till the consoles get it, unless the above.
It would only be good for everyone if they released it on the PC first to ‘test’ it [all of the maps and balance]
But no they’ve got to be all funny and give it to everyone at the same time even though the PC could have it weeks before.

They are only goingto need to update it again to balance the maps and tweak things… and that gonna take another month or 2… when they could have just released it to the PC when it went into confirmation at sony/microsoft because the PC hasnt got any confirmation… then they could have done and tweaks needed when the console versions came out and updated the PC aswell… dumb

“Be patient plz”

…it seems, that message has some weird effect on me. Telling me to be patient, only makes me less patient.

Going to repeat myself

Use the DLC to get ppl back to game, and the fixes to keep them there

not release DLC and still ppl gets tired of it because of spread and balance, then try fix if after, that would be to late, when the DLC is arrived, and if that dosent bring ppl back to stay back, then im afraid its over.

@zarel

yeah bad topicname thats true

I dont think you read my post… They have the DLC ready for the PC already, its all finished allong with updates its in for confirmation at sony/microsoft. There is no reason not gtive it to the PC that doesnt haveto be confirmed, then as the maps will be unbalanced and certain tweeks needed [theres always goingto be balance issues and tweaks needed…] They could see what they are as its being test out and get to work on it right away…
Instead of relaing it to the pc the same time as consoles then taking another month to do the tweaks and balance everything to a better standard…

Really…You’ve done the research, crunched the numbers, and discovered there’s no other reason except what you noted above? Here’s a plausible reason - to be fair. Perhaps they want all platforms to receive the DLC at the same time, because 1 - it’s fair and 2 - to avoid more conflict (look, another reason.)

There’s already way to much whine going on over this DLC. Imagine how much worse it would get if PC got the DLC and console had to wait still.

Yea there was so much WHINING AND BITCHING when PC got updates first.

It’s stupid to make PC players wait, especially when there will be bugs (cause SD) and releasing on the PC first will help SD fix them for the console version before it goes live.

[NigelDocker]

Meh, Horse always has his standard theories.
Because its ‘fair’? lol it wasnt ‘fair’ when the PC got the updates that consoels still dont have…
I play on the console not the PC, and I wouldnt care if the dlc was on the PC I would be happy becasue it would benefit me and everyone as they will have had a chance to see the balance issues with the new maps/weapons/attachments that would get tweaked and updated erlier. But no we will get that update in another 1 or 2 months probably.

agreed. i buy PC FPS games due to easier patching, dedi servers, mouse&kb and superior graphics. seems stupid we are forced to wait weeks due to $ony and m$

Had a chance to balance out the issues? Like how the PS3 beta balanced out the issues before launch that everyone is now complaining about? The PC community can really only balance out PC issues. PC and console are 2 separate beasts.

As for getting updates first. Updates as in just game tweaks and no actual content, like maps, attachments, abilities, raised lvl cap, new abilities, etc? Oh yeah, they’re totally the same. I can see how the PC crowd getting early access to some game tweaks without uproar from the console crowd and getting early access to actual content are one in the same…

I have played on both platforms, and from my experience, the console community is much materialistic than PC. A good number of console players would much rather content over tweaks. Remember, it’s console - where a good number of comments like “Only 8 maps!? FAIL!” are coming from and where new releases are frequently treated like flavors of the month rather than games that live on for years. Hell, there’s probably a good number of players that don’t even know a patch was released for PC or that it will be included in the DLC.

And for the record, there are console players upset that PC got a patch and they didn’t.

[TruGamer97]

Im kinda upset that pc players end up getting a patch while console players didn’t but oh well.

[Kurushi]

Agree with OP. I can’t wait for the DLC but take your time SD

The PS3 private Beta was never goingto do anything the state the game was in… lol thats up to SD finishing and polishing the game as much as possible before it goes into Beta to be ‘tested’. No testing could have done anything for the game itself. Thats up to SD

Im talking about weapon/map balancing, the now abilities and maps arent just goingto be perfectg straight out the box considering the rest of the game, they need people to play to be able to do that, and they arent goingto be able to start to do that now till its out on the PS3/Xbox because they chose too hold the PC dlc back with them… Dumb

Im a console player… And yes only 8 maps for this game is not allot atall, and I want more content. But realeasing the pc DLC when it was ready wont change me from getting that content or make me get it any later will it… All it can do is be possitive and ensure I get the twaeks for the maps/attachtments elrier than usual.

For the record, Im a PS3 player lol, sure there can be people upset that the PC got the patch… but it makes no difference to when we could get it anyway… Were still gonna get it with the DLC as there are restirctions to the size of patches and amount of data realesed by a company on the consoles. So if The PC got it first… Great it doesnt make a difference all it can do is see how it works before it comes to my PS3, and hen they might tweak it further to improve it… duh

Im glad they are making PC players wait too. At least you already have the patch. I feel no sympathy.

I agree with your reasoning as to why they are holding it back however.

[NigelDocker]

I was reffering to the patch that is on the PC now

Since they have had a chance to see the updates on the PC and to see if they can be further improved I expect when the SAME updates come to the consoles [yes they are the same, they are not different updates because its a console… but the same updates, this isnt graphics or perfromance we are talking about, but game balancing] Along with the DLC they will be further tweaked slightly along with the PC.

And if the PC had the DLC when it was ready it could see any imbalances with the new maps/attatchments sooner than when it comes out on the consoles so could have an idea and get to work on the update quicker than usual.

When you say the PC is a different beast it means nothing to this… if it was so different in terms of balancing then the pc and console would need complete different patches and ‘weapon’ settings… But no they are both the same… like all games.
Most games actually use the PC first for patches before patching the console so they can make any further changes needed…

Im not a PC player lol, I play on the PS3, which is what I mean, it makes no difference to us, it can only be good rather than bad… doesnt change when we will get it.
