I think the problem Chris is that people just want reassurance that it will be similar to what they are expecting. People are hoping to see good stuff here but are afraid for the franchise because Dragon Age 2 disapointed alot of people and made them wary to the point where it being cheaper is making them fear it will be short and unsatisfying. Again because Dragon Age Origin's final DLC Witch Hunt also disapointed them.

And I know Dragon Age and Mass Effect are totally different teams and have no connection. I understand that, but others don't. The mind of a paranoid paniced fanboy is an irrational fragile thing.

Whose idea was it anyway to make a thread about some guy's Twitter feed (instead of the official Bioware feed) and claim it had news about an upcoming trailer when no such statement was made on the Twitter feed?

they have no one to blame but themselves is not the mass effect team problem that the da fans are scared or whatever

Exactly. All he said was that he's showing some folks at IGN something Arrival-related. For whatever reason, the bellyachers on this forum turned that one tweet into OMG THERE'S AN ARRIVAL TRAILER FOR SURE ON TUESDAY and then OMG BIOWARE ARE JERKS FOR NOT GIVING ME WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT IT.

Like I said before, a lot of you need to chill out.

No kidding. I'd like a trailer but Chris's point is well taken. I don't care if there is a trailer before release or not I know it will be great.

And you need to keep slaying those straw men.

lol... smart marketing move.

Fans will buy it with or without a trailer.

End of Line.

[AlbertoAquilani]

No trailer until release day? Boo.

[diskoh]

You guys do this crap every single freaking time. Get your own hopes up over your misinterpretation of something someone said on Twitter, then attack them when they didn't mean what you insisted they did. Didn't someone close their Twitter account last time this happened? Someone said "I'm excited cause I can talk about my ME2 project next Tuesday" and you all convinced yourselves it was some incredible DLC. It turned out to be ME2 on PS3 and you flipped the hell out because you invented a whole story in your brain and were crushed when it didn't happen.

[samuraix87]

this still seems like a bad move to not show a triler before it comes out i mean how many of you would buy a game or movie with out a trailer or something

[diskoh]

If they come out on the same day you can watch it before you buy it. Duh?

[habitat 67]

Why is there such a disconnect on these forums between the cool and the irrational?

I am not going to complain about the absence of a trailer it is Bioware's choice if they don't want to reveal stuff to customers.  However I do have to question why it took 19 hours for them to comment on the fact there wouldn't be a trailer.

Traditionally there has always been a trailer for story based DLC one week before the actual release.  So even without Jesse Houstons tweet (which technically didn't actually say anything) people would still have expected to see "something" today.

Basically no trailer "fine" that is Bioware's choice but don't leave a topic talking about a trailer coming on Tuesday going for over 24 hours before you actually come in and say there will be no trailer.

[petipas1414]

While it sucks we have to wait til' Tuesday, it could make sense that the trailer is indeed spoilerific...

I want to fight a hanar or Elcor in Arrival or a volis just for fun

I'd say the people in this thread bashing about bad marketing don't know anything about marketing. Hardcore fans, like me, will buy the DLC regardless when the trailer is released. Hell, I would buy it without any trailers released or with only a limited snippet of information available. Then there are the not so fanatic folks that might stumble upon the trailer and think that it looks cool and goes to buy it right away. That definitely works better than "Oh, this looks cool, I'll buy it in a week!".

If you're going to cry about something, whine that the people at Bioware are greedy bastards for only thinking about how to make the largest amounts of cash with a trailer and not catering to the fanbase. Even though that would be equally as retarded, it would atleast make some sense.

Indeed, and well said. I woke up to 16 pages of this thread (was only about half that size last night) and was expecting "something" given that this hadn't been locked and there had been Bioware comments made (thanks Chris for the clarification, albeit a bit later than it could have been). Ah, well. I'm buying the DLC anyway so no extra marketting is needed to reel me in but sure was looking forward to something shiny today.

Making a trailer that says "Now available" makes great sense.

"I thought you were a hero! Heroes don't do things like this!"


Nah I kid.


Nothing wrong with having the trailer come out on release day, although I will admit I like to see trailers before something is out.  That way I can form some judegments on it. Generally if the trailer is good (be it a movie or game) it strongly encourages me to put some money aside and  "Go, go, go!" Now I'm going to be far more likely to hesitate (Hold the line!) and see what the reviews and others say after the first day or two, since I have only just now seen the trailer. But that's just me, and I will admit I'm rather fanatic/critical about following anything Mass Effect .

So don't let us crazies here rattle your cage too much about not having a trailer yet. That said it would be nice to learn about things a little farther ahead of time so we don't end up speculating quite so much. Although I'm aware that's not always possible. Thanks for letting us know all the same though.

Yeah me too but hey they will have my money anyway.

[mjkjets]

At least I can stop looking in the forums to see if the trailer is out yet. Yay !
The DA2 DLC achievements were fixed today as well. Double Yay!

The trailer is coming out WITH the DLC? Who the **** came up with that that?

The same people who came up with having a demo... AFTER the game was out. lmao!

[Zweebs]

Weren't their pre release trailers for every other major DLC?
