thread wouldnt be a thread without a terrible… wait that word doesnt even fit what you are, lollool

I wouldn’t know how they would otherwise be able to reconcile the cognitive dissonance between pushing this orange console crap on the pc while advertising the graphics without.

do you still mean the halos around enemy players? you can disable them clientside…

How are they stealing your money again? You already have the game so you get the DLC for free. Unless you choose not to download it in the first 2 weeks.

[engiebenjy]

I am thinking they mean if you download within 2 weeks you get it free to keep, otherwise you would have to pay. Still this could mean that after 2 weeks you need to pay even if you have already downloaded it - although it seems unlikely to me.

Well whatever the case the title update and DLC will give me another chance to play hopefully without constant lags and with human opponents!

[Ghostdog]

Wouldn’t mind some clarification on whether the unavailability of Brink on Steam in the UK will affect the availability of the DLC to those UK purchasers who bought on Steam ‘before the lock’. Would be infuriating if we were prevented from downloading during the free 2-week period.

[QUOTE=neg;344718]doesnt matter, they’ve said numerous times the first DLC would be free, for everyone not just people who’ve bought the game before a specific date… attempting to drum up more sales of a game that still isnt working as it is supposed to be isnt exactly a nice move for the community

not to mention the clear lack of information they have been releasing regarding known issues aswell, atleast with ET there was a thread on the forums with ‘known issues’ and ‘issues being worked on’ so atleast the community at large had a good idea of what was going on… even if it wasnt specific[/QUOTE]
Actually they said that the DLC would be free specifically to make up for the problems at launch. They never said free forever or to everyone in perpetuity.

If you didn’t have the game at launch and therefore suffered from none of the problems at launch why should you get anything for free? Oh yeah you shouldn’t.

Allow me to be blunt. No.

Listen SD I loved ETQW and played it non-stop for two years. But this ****storm with Brink isn’t impressive. You know how many hours I’ve sunk into Brink? 80. That’s it. Only 80. I estimate I’d already played 150+ hours with ETQW in the same time frame. You know how many all nights sessions I’ve pulled with Brink? NONE. I played my first all night session with ETQW on my 3rd day. I stumbled onto an American and dined out till 6am in the ****ing morning.

Hell none of my clan friends are playing this any more. The only ones playing it are those who are playing it in ESL. Apart from that it’s already dead in the clan.

I get the feeling (along with others) that this isn’t true SD spirit. I feel that Bethesda are the ones in real control.

Fix this **** already.

Since SD is going to eventually charge for the DLC, will there now be additional Acheivements/Trphies added as part of the DLC?

The argument for not including them was “Microsoft does not allow adding acheivements/trophies to free DLC”. That argument was just blown out of the water. I may download it for additional trophies and play more. If not, I will have to give it serious thought as I have already moved on to another game. Sorry SD, I waited as long as I could, but when there was no information about the DLC going into mid-month I gave up.

Most people inthe forum are saying early July, but several articles on the web are saying July 30th. Which one is it? That is a hugh gap in time for most gamers. Just take note on how we all reacted to the slow release of the DLC. At one time we were told first week of June then it turned into “hopefully in June”.

Yes, i have same feeling.

Sorry if it has been said, but I do believe the sad punk goggles are on top of the resistance guy’s head in the last screenshot.

[badman]

Since it’s come up a few times, if you grab the DLC during the first two weeks, you’ll own it forever and are able to re-download it for free even after this period.

What happens if I am out of town those two weeks on vacation. Do I just miss out and have to pay?

That’s not a nice thing to do to your loyal customers.

Did SD not realize they are releasing a limited “free” DLC (to make up for the bad initial release) during the height of vacation time in the USA?

Or did they? If they did then it is a finacially driven business decision. SD can claim they offered it for free, but hope you are too busy to remember or unable to download during that time. That way you will be forced to pay for it later.

Does anyone else feel like they are getting bent over the barrel on this one?

Thanks for clarifying!

your opinion is usless without fact LOLOLOLOL

go somewhere

[morguen87]

Thank you for the progress update! I’ve been wanting one of these for awhile. Though you probably wouldn’t be able to tell from reading this thread (you can’t make everyone happy), it really is a shot in the arm and will help keep the reasonable folks around here patient. It also helps the “Brink forum” google-results-guests and the lurkers who read this forum for news.

I appreciate you making the dlc for free, for those complaining, we were given an approximate date and have a 2 week window, it won’t be hard to get it for free. Now do your part and exercise that word of mouth advertising to tell everybody you know to download it in the first 2 weeks while it’s still free and hopefully more people come back to the game. With the sense of urgency the 2 week window provides, we might get more people coming back to this game at the same time than if it was free to download whenever.

[StillBatusBrad]

So NOT June then? I’m still here because you said JUNE.

And free for 2 weeks…?

You pack of absolute ****ers…I go on exercise for six weeks…starting in JULY. So you’ll be expecting me, having bought Brink on release day and having kept the faith, to PAY for my DLC? I’ve got bad news for you, SD.

I’ll try to arrange something, but if I can’t swing it and miss the deadline, I’ll be done with this game.

For all the posters that advocated patience - yeah, that worked out well for me, didn’t it?

Unlike some, I didn’t feel ripped off on release day…I’ve been PROPERLY mugged-off now, though.

:stroggtapir: - my arse.
