There's a topic?   ;)

Anyway as I said this isnt' really for me so I'll wait for the next DLC and see if that peeks my interest (and if it involves a sotry or more character development it probably will)

Ok we may keep it. or You better open new topic and ask players first what they would like to get in a new DLC before releasing it. It was big announcement that we get something special LOL 2 helmets and crappy armour. that's really big..... disappointment? Its OK 4 me to pay some money 4 new DLC but I want to get something nice. Or if it is to be surprise OK but let it be good one. I downloaded this one turned on the game put on the one of the helmets. applied armour and removed it as fast as possible and turned game off. That's it... So if You ask me If I'm happy with this new DLC I say: no.

I just hope the rumored plan is "small stuff for now, big stuff later" but I sort of considered Kasumi one of the big things so I presumed now was the start. I'm confused at your marketing plan.

IMO - Just work on an expansion already.

DLCs for eye candy and armor after you have played the game twice is just silly.

It would be better if right after this explosion of items/costumes that they did release and expansion to use em on...



I'm almost done with my 6th complete playthrough but these items really don't change up the experience at all. The characters were an addition to keep me going but not items like this.

If there is a expansion coming like 'Bring Down The Sky' I save my points and get it.

The longer they work on it the better.

Bring it out too soon it will be crap.

Edit.

BTW in the board why it show 15 while there is only 14?

Or it just me that I can't count?

Guys c'mon.



Enough people have complained and you're helping ruin the forum (if it could get any worse).



If you're not going to buy it, don't complain. Let your lack of investment do the talking.



Sheesh.

I won't be getting this I don't have the points for it, I am about 80 MSP or so short :(. Plus the only armor I really want that I don't have is the Terminus Armor (I like the design/color) or the Bounty Hunter Armor added (from The Old Republic). If anything can we get a DLC with a LONG mission in it, maybe something where it takes awhile sort of like each Merc Group's side-quest(s).

On a side note: I do have to say for beginners/newcomers to ME2 that the DLC armor is a good choice until you can purchase variations for the N7 armor.


Bounty hunter armor?


I wouldn't mind kameo Armor for KOTOR appearences.

I do not expect that DLC should be free.
I like that so far the DLC has been varied.

There are many fans, of ME, and we all do not have the same likes and dislikes.

Bioware has provided us a wide range of DLC, from the 'Hammerhead' to 'Kasumi: Stolen Memory', to the Arc weapon, and now this.

It just is not possible to please everyone with every download.

If something strikes your fancy, purchase it, or download it.
If what you see is not what you want, do not buy it or download it.

Bioware is attentive to we the consumer, and so far they have followed through, on their promise to provide DLC. If a lot of people download and express satisfaction, with DLC like Kasumi, or Zaeed, then we will get more of that type. I have no doubt more is coming.

But there is also room for helmets, pistols, and the like, if folks express interest, and there is no reason not to put that stuff out. Those who like armour should be able to buy it, if they so desire.
Those who want story, should be able to purchase more if they so desire.

To those who say it all should be free, that just is not realistic.

Oh no he did'nt! He did not just say that! Flame him!

Yes, yes I did say that.

Writers, artists, voice actors, technicians, programmers, they all have to be paid, and this is what they do for a living. Bioware is quite happy to provide new story content, and new game gear, but bottom line, they also need to pay the rent, and salaries, and production costs, and make a profit.

Since it is not possible to cater to everyone, with every piece of DLC, the next best thing is to produce a variety of DLC and let the market decide which items 'sell'.

Comics publishers are in a similar bind, which they turn to opportunity.
Not every one will like Spiderman or JLA. Some people might like The Authority or New Avengers, but dislike the Ultimates or Secret Six; and there are those who would rail against Supergirl or Spidergirl, and tell you why reading that stuff will rot your brain, while there are others who love those characters. Not everyone likes everything. But by providing variety people can choose what they want, and leave what they don't like.

There will be DLC that Bioware puts out, that will not appeal to me, but will appeal to someone else, and vice versa. I will simply pick up the stuff I want. That simple.

How about giving Bioware a chance to show you what they have in store?
I've seen more DLC for ME2 than ever was produced for ME1. They seem to be genuine in their commitment not to make that mistake again, i.e in ignoring DLC.

The DLC has been varied, which is good, not bad. And they have said that more story driven DLC is planned, so it will not all be guns and helmets.
Tell them what you like or do not like, and why. Constructive criticism is best.
But do not condemn them for trying!


I could have written a long winded post, but this post here expresses my same sentiments.

Redundancy just doesn't suit me.

You don't have a right to whine. You don't have a right to insult the very people who make the stuff you DO like (If I trashed you and your efforts in pretty much everything you've done since you started, how motivated would you be to go out of your way for me.) You don't have a right to make the board unlivable for other people.


....which is what the "right to complain" has become here for far too many.

I think bioware should stop making DLCs since the fans are obviously not satisfied and have never been with the Mass Effect games.

If there were no DLCs or no plan of making DLCs EVER would there be a problem right now?

I got the Equalizer pack. The Inferno armor was the last item I was missing from my collection (aside from the Incisor Rifle), so I happily snatched this up when I saw what was on offer. The new helmets also look pretty cool ("OMG bubble helmet!"), so all in all, it was an excellent deal for me.



That said, I do sympathise with people who already have the Inferno armor and would essentially be 'wasting' a certain amount of points on picking up this DLC. I do agree with the suggestion that Bioware should have simply split off the Inferno armor and made it available for separate purchase.

You know, I'd actually prefer no DLC ever if all they're gonna offer is crap like the equalizer pack. It cheapens the brand. Quality dlc does the reverse.

The problem is more with the fact that you're paying for armor that's not that much better then what you already got for free, and you're probably never going to bother wearing any of them. If those helmets looked cooler, and had high stats that gave you a huge advantage, then the pack would be worth the price. Why? Because I'm paying real money to kick more *** then the guy wearing free stuff, and look cooler at the same time. This pack doesn't really give me any of that.

You're already buying it knowing that no matter how good or bad it is you will NEVER get that money back.

Man up and take some responsibility.

I am, I'm informing people that the decision to buy that which was purchased was essentially a waste.  As for refundability, I already have a fund for MS points.  However, I could have bought a few Indie games for the price of this, and I also just bought a new Kukhri machete which was made from 1055 Carbon Steel.

I'm not saying it should be free, however, we are getting more complaints each time from the people bringing up old issues, or new people, who want Bioware to actually put more effort into what they produce.  For instance, I love the Arc Caster over every heavy weapon (except when I use the Cain for other jobs).  I'm still, wearing the Blood Dragon Armor my character has been wearing for the last month, because the redundancy in new Armor is not desirable and that my Biotic Damage output is higher than the Custom Armor I could attempt to make.  

Right now alot of people seem to be expressing more dissatissfaction from this DLC then satisfaction.  I happened to already have every set of DLC Armor, and I managed to get it reasonably well within a short time frame with a modest price.  I only bought this new DLC because it was somewhat moderately priced, and I wanted to see if the new items are worth it (need to test the 20% recharge rate) , so far I'm not estatic.  However, I'm letting this slide because ME2 and Dead Space are the games I intend to **** out DLC with, even if I never use half the **** I get.  I wear the N7 Armor only when I feel like looking good.

Too be fair, Kasumi was worth buying, and Cerberus Network was very generous to the players (with the exception of the Firewalker pack being only useful for giving me an extra Biotic Damage upgrade, the missions sucked).  However, I already had Inferno Armor, like somewhat a large portion of the community did.  Having to pay for two pieces of semi-decent headgear for the price of a full DLC Armor suit is a ripoff, and they should have been standalone for maby 40 MS points each, if not on the Cerberus Network regardless.

Right now the only thing I'm missing is the Incisor Sniper Rifle, which I'm patiently waiting for a release.  The Rifle seems to be the most sought of the Premium/Preorder gear next to Collector Armor, so I'm surprised they haven't released it yet.
