You got to be kidding me. That's it? 2 ugly helmets and armor some might already own? That's what's on the Horizon? For 2 or 3 dollars? What a rip off!

Please, everyone, unless you want the Inferno Armor for whatever the reason, don't buy it.


What a wierd thing to ask everyone... How does the rest of us buying or not buying this have any effect on you?

When people get disappoined, they say angry things. Can't really blame him. This was more over-the-top ****ty than I thought BioWare could do.

Looks like the honeymoon is over, I am grateful we got Zaeed (who i have on my team), Normandy Mission (nice touch) a whole bunch of different armour and weapons and the Firewalker (Which I personally would have been happy to pay for by comparison) pack free, apparently suspicions at the Stolen Memory pricing were correct, no more free DLC.
I can live with that quite happily, but with this latest DLC pack and the Appearance Pack before it I cant help but feel that youre taking the "shots 1 euro each" approach with it, where most people get ratted before they generate a decent tab, but those who dont and know how to behave find it a petty cash in.

I'm not casting any stones, but I feel your current approach is hurting the games you worked so hard to make, now that everyone's used to getting large-ish mission packs for free and now glorified armour retextures (I  know I'm being harsh, but I'm making a point) and stocking filler armour are getting a price tag.
Most people on this forum own the Inferno armour and are probably feeling more than a little lead-on for pre-ordering from [insert reseller here],
I doubt there are many people who have a problem with paying for DLC, but I for one care content so a pack should be worth paying for.
We have lots of armour, and have been privileged to get some pretty good missions for free. But, if you want to start charging dont expect to raise the bar pro bono, and then knock it down again for a fee, it will hurt your revenue, a dedicated customer I am but brand loyalty is a very relative and many a good developer have gone bad lately, please dont become yet another one.
Not after seminal game universes like Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, Dragon Age and Mass Effect, it would be a tragedy

I'm sorry, I know a few people are less than thrilled that this DLC pack is all we're getting right now, but, I think this looks Awesome. Especially the Visor. Point of fact, I don't really even need the improvements the Gear pieces offer, just the Design alone is enough for me to drop some coin for this DLC. I know *some* folks might see that as Sheep like behavior, but this just looks too cool to pass on.

Damn you, BioWare!!! Posted Image

Characters, and missions I will pay for, but this is lame!



I guess I paid for the outfit pack, but that was ONLY because I was pissed off that Garrus armor is STILL BROKEN even when you switch it to the loyalty colors..

An armor pack? That's it? Man... I was hoping for something more story-related.

The only thing worth having is the visor. But as a part of that pack which isn't even free, it's worthless.

Both pieces of headgear look like something ripped from Starcraft 2. It doesn't look good and doesn't fit the universe at all. Am I the only one who thought this? Most people are complaining about the price, not how hideous this armor is.



The effects are pretty useless too, one is a small recharge time modifier and the other modifies shields which we already have several armor pieces doing, both DLC and vanilla.

If people buy poor quality DLC, it encourages the company to keep their standard that way.
I don't think it's the worst I've seen, but it needs more imo, and adding Inferno is downright idiotic.


Yeah that's a fair point I guess... In fact the more I think about it the more of a rip-off it seems... How much does an episode of Lost on iTunes cost?  About the same?  Still... 2/3 dollars is very little... If most fans pay for it then clearly it's not too much money by their standards

Cerberus doesn’t just need a hero – they need a one-man army. That’s why the Equalizer Pack adds the Capacitor Helmet, Archon Visor, and Inferno Armor to Shepard’s armor locker.  The Capacitor Helmet stores power for kinetic barriers, allowing Shepard’s shields to recharge faster.  The Archon Visor manages omni-tools and biotic amps, reducing the recharge time of Shepard’s powers.  The powered Inferno Armor speeds up Shepard’s movements and increases his tech and biotic power damage, additionally stress analysis software even gives him an edge in negotiations outside of combat.  The Equalizer -- when the armor goes on, the gloves come off.


:devil:


And while I'm at it, the above description is suspiciously similar to an industrial cleaner/detergent commercial....

:unsure: Ok, I don't want to rant or anything. There is nothing wrong with new stuff, but I hope that future DLCs will give us new missions and more story, because that's what I enjoy about ME. I'm not going to play the game again because Shep has some nice new outfit (well, I AM going to play the game again, but not because of the new outfit). Besides, the new armor kinda looks like something you'd wear to a really wicked rave party.

I had a feeling that ever since they put out the first paid DLC in the appearance pack, that Cerberus network would end up useless. If they're going to charge for a few items that help you beat a game most of us have beaten 6 or 7 times, then that's really sad. I know you guys are going to say, if you don't want it, don't buy it. The problem is those people who do buy this junk and give EA an incentive to continue you this practice. Seriously, don't buy it guys even if you want it. All of you have beaten the game already. You don't need it. Speak with your pocket book. Maybe they will focus on quality DLC we all want and willing to pay decent money for.

I'm going on record saying, "You people need to stop ****ing about DLC." If you don't want it, don't download it. Simple fix. And to say Bioware is ripping people off by making new DLC available is just plain idiotic. They're not holding a gun to your head saying buy our stuff, or making the game unplayable to those without every single peace of DLC. To Bioware I say: Thank you for the new DLC. I don't like to wear helmets so I won't use any of these, but thank you. You didn't have to take the time to make this, but you did and that's great. As soon as I get some MP I will download this if only to say, "Hey look, I'm Cyclops."

Here are some stats:
Capacitor Helmet
Reduces the delay before shields start regenerating by 10%

Archon Visor
Reduces the recharge time of your powers by 5%

+the look badass.

Also...
For those of you who want the Incisor - trust me, we're listening. More info on that at a later date.
Also, stay tuned. We're still working on (bigger) stuff for you guys. Not just item packs.

Awful reasoning.
If we're being driven away from buying it due to quality, we have a right to complain, as Bioware expects us to buy this DLC.

Cheers for the stats. They don't look impressive though-more reasons not to buy.
Thanks for news on the Incisor though.:)Nice to also know more worthwile stuff is being worked on, too.

I'm making a safe assumption. 10% at the very most, if not 5%. Anyway, as far as function goes, the Sentry Interface presumably makes one of the two DLC visors completely useless, and in my opinion looks far, far better than either of them. And was available for free.
