How did you possibly arrive at that conclusion?

I wonder if this was intended to go out =tomorrow= and maybe get lost in the buzz around the DA2 demo?

I think this 'leak' was intentional. This very thread is an arm of their marketing plan for this DLC. I sincerely doubt that they would just accidentally get these achievements mixed up in a patch.

Ultimate sacrifice is a word that should not take lightly. I mean, when you play the dlc and something really big happens, then you start to think/cry, that it really was a "Ultimate sacrifice", and you remember that moment for a long time.


Granted, but it's a DLC, which makes it optional to the experience of playing the game (unless they make it somehow mandatory, which I just don't think would wash because it would alter the standalone-playability of the Mass Effect games by anchoring the stories to one another in a very permenant way). If someone makes this "ultimate sacrifice" that is actually significant to the dynamic of the game (like a squadmember) and a player opts out of the DLC and buys Mass Effect 3 only to be told in passing conversation - or one of those damned emails - that "Oh, So-and-so bought the farm on that planet we visited... man, that was a downer!" I think a lot of folk would be scratching their heads about it.

I can't help but think that as ominous as it sounds, it can't really relate to something as concrete as one of the established characters because of it being a DLC and thus optional content. A new character, mind you, that I can definately see.

It's a rival theory.

Wait, i just realized something...

We're saving Dr. Amanda Kenson... the person in CDN who published a paper about the history of the relays... which means that she could finally have the proof we need to convince evryone about the Reapers! (provided they don't already show up in person)

What I really find interesting is the fact that NO official comment, has been made at all on this topic, even the moderators have yet to make there usual appearance and make witty comments yet...

Yeah I have a feeling Bioware is on Defcon 3 at the moment.


thye have banned a fake trailer post.  I guess they are regrouping...somewhere....

:devil:


One thing's for sure...

If Priestly doesn't make an announcement soon...

...there won't be a surprise revelation.


what do you call this then? a non-surprise revelation?


At this point...yeah, I guess so :?

They've locked it because it was fake and spam, not because it's Arrival.
How come this thread is still alive, then?

I'm trying not to get too psyched up. I don't want it to be like the LotSB thread, 200 pages and no response from BioWare.

I agree, especially considering the fact that the GDC is coming up fast.

Pfft.

They probably planned the leak.

The thread has not been locked, not a single comment to be found... They're waiting until excitement stops oozing from ever orifice on the bodies of fans before they break out the, "Oops! Those were originally achievements for Overlord that we weren't using..." stuff.

After the forums mount months of conspiracy theories and rage the likes of which blots the sun, BioWare comes back with a new splash-page on their website:

"Arrival" with giant Paragon and Renegade links without context.

After two months, they reveal their master plan.

If the Paragon option wins, they donate 5% of their sales of ME1, ME2, and ME3 over the next 6 months to various charities.

If the Renegade option wins, they charge 5% more for the DLC than they were planning without telling anyone.


...and I salute them.

Okay this is freaking amazing, its a safe bet that this 'Arrival' is the Reapers, but what I want to know and like it says on the first post's link, what does it say/ how do you get the 'The Ultimate Sacrifice' trophy/ Achievement?


I don't know if it's a big spoiler, so i will just say this: "survive all 5 waves of attack"

I think that's the ultimate sacrifice trophy, i'm not on the ps3 right now

The pictures in the OP don't look fake.

Course, if they are, they don't look too fake, if that makes any sense :?

No, that's for "Last Stand".

Description of "Ultimate sacrifice" is (not a spoiler at all)
Complete the Arrival DLC

I'm going to look out a window at some point and just see houses exploding. Then I will know what happened. And then i would explode too.
