We have noticed some people spamming the demo that has caused incorrect numbers on the download counter. As such, we have to remove roughly 300k from the counter to correct the false numbers.

Keep promoting this to your friends. I knwo you'll get there in time, even by having to play fair.
 IT says ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


The explanation is easy: They offer this promotion so that we advertise the game for them for free and in 2 days they almost reached the goal (so 5 days left) why not drop the number and say whatever they want SO THAT WE CONTNOU ADVERTISING FOR FREE as simple as that……

Looking from the script on the page, the counter add one each time someone press the download button for English/French/...

And I can't find any script that would lead me to believe demo from Xbox Live and PSN are count as a download.

That would be Bioware's problem for making it that way for the PC.

Xbox 360 and PS3 counts will added when the counts are made available.

Mostly, I think they check the IP for PC and the one who were the same were simply deleted. As for Xbox 360 and PSN demo they will need to wait for the numbers because I don't think they can put them in real time.

Not quite, they simply thought of a number.

More than likely, I highly doubt they would sift through countless IP addresses for multiples. 300,000 is a really round number for just that.

function update_counter()
 {
    $.post("/da2/demodownload/?update=true", { update: 1 },
    function(data)
  {
  $('#demo_counter').html(data);
  });
}

$(document).ready(function()
 {
    update_counter();
 });
setInterval("update_counter()", 15000);

This is not some random number. Everytime someone click on the download icon for English/French/... 1 is add to the counter no matter your EA accounts. So it's more than possible than people click multiple time using the same IP and they decide to take action. Don't start conspiracy theories.

And the number happens to be 300 000 exactly? Yeah, whatever.

[Nosferatos]

Too be fair to Chris, he said roughly 300k.

Hahaha... Good observation. Why not just remove the 'actual' number of spam hits?

Because... They are no longer called BioWare. They are called BioWare a division of Electronic Arts.

I'm suspicious too but OMG THE COUNTER IS A LIE BIOWARE IS A SELLOUT is completely silly. The two books we might get require next to no effort to make, because we can't see them, and they just raise your XP and gold. I can do that in DAO in a few seconds.

Good point. All you need to do is activate a 'addxp' or 'addgold' cheat through console. Hehehe...

After you brought up that logical scenario, the whole idea about jacking it up to a million downloads is rather senseless.

Why bother when you can hit the "~" button, and then just add them through the cheat system. Lol...

I'm just loving the thought of them failing to make their 1million goal...

and as much as they may want us to do the work for them, sadly it is *their* failure

not if your playing it on the 360 or PS3 it isn't.

[SorrowAndJoy7]

I don't understand why people are stuck on this exactly 300,00 bit... "roughly 300,000" does not mean we subtracted EXACTLY 300,000.... it's not that hard...

Since they have altered this game for the XBox360 and PS3, (thus, slapping pc gamers in the face), I do not see how that is my problem.

Bioware has been with EA since Dragon Age, so there is no point in calling them a sell out this time around. More to the point, the whole call to arms is pointless. You are given an untold amount of xp and gold for doing this "quest." Then you find out three days later, that count is totally wrong.

I can understand why people are upset. It's just like the situation where people got upset because they couldn't get the extra DLC items from amazon uk. In both cases Bioware simply tells you to cheer-up bucko.

Remember, we are not laughing at you specifically, but we are laughing our way to the bank with your money.

Thanks for the $60, cheer up, pound sand, give me more, and have a nice day.

Its called the new BioWare economic system.

DLC not included.

excuse me but anychance we can know how many people have downloaded the demo

[Pieboi]

i did wonder why the counter had gone down from 800k to 500 odd...overkill there bioware.

are you sure it isnt linked to ps3 and xbox? i looked at it yesterday and it was a little over 480k.... strange that it junps up 300k the day it comes out on console, aye?

also the quick heal sucks with this "speeded up" combat.

[DJBare]

ooh ooh, the butthurt in this thread, if no one could see something was wrong with the jump from 500000 to 800000 then I suggest you remove your blinkers, this was spammed most certainly.

[LPPrince]

People need to relax and stop pointing fingers.



Move on.



Keep getting people to play the demo instead of complaining here.
