This is it. Arrival is less than 24 hours away. I figure it was time to start one official thread for impressions and discussions on it, with the assumption that anyone who posts in this thread has completed Arrival, as the thread will be littered with spoilers in a day's time.

A couple of things to note:

  • Depending on the platform on which you play, it may take a while before Arrival is up and ready for you to download. Typically, Xbox 360 users are the first to download and play DLC, as Microsoft tends to submit DLC very early on the day of release. However, the difference is usually no longer than five to eight hours (tops).
  • For personal reasons, I won't be able to play Arrival until April 5th, which means I won't be on the forums until then. I will just leave this thread for you all to discuss until I'm ready to join the party.

Also, to copy-paste one of my posts below:

An additional note for 360 users:

You can use this page to be on the look for Arrival. This is because DLC does not immediately upload to the Xbox dashboard, so instead of waiting on the dashboard, you can simply keep refreshing that page until you see Arrival on the top of the list, at which point you hit Download to Xbox 360 and confirm your gamertag to pay and purchase the pack. After that, fire up your console and you will be automatically prompted to download Arrival as soon as you sign in.

You could of course wait until it's up on the dashboard and just download it straight from there, but this is a faster way of doing this, since Microsoft uploads to the main database at Xbox.com first.

Having said that, I hope you all enjoy Arrival. I'm sure it's going to rock and I can't wait until I can get my hands on it!

Which timezone gets the DLC first?

Btw, you're a real trooper for starting this thread, Phoenix, sorry you will have to avoid the forums for a week :(

According to the Arrival event on Facebook, the DLC will hit at 9:00 am. I have no idea what to make of this, but I seem to recall LOTSB being released at about the same time for multiple timezones, so I'm guessing it won't be too different for Arrival.

As for avoiding the forums, it's really just my luck for this to coincide with my midterms, among other things. In any event, I can wait for one more week.

Do you mean 9 in each timezone? Or 9 in biowares?

Each timezone, but don't quote me on that. I don't know exactly how it's going to work.

It might be a good idea to edit that into the OP.

I'm not sure exactly where I am in Overlord. I just finished using the Hammerhead, I think.

You'll know the scene when you get there, may want to have some tissues nearby if you're easily moved.

This wait today will be killer, looks like it's still early Monday in NA whereas it's early Tuesday here in Australia.

I'm just glad I was able to keep distracted since the announcement. :P The 20 minutes of footage also helped.

Um, you know Che Guevara murdered thousands of people and personally executed those who were not loyal to Castro, right? And by execute, I mean shot their entire families in the head. He was also extremely racists. Why people like you find fascism so appealing is beyond me. I guess you just want to steal other people's money to pay for things you want - aka communism - whilst accusing people who actually WORK for their money of being greedy.

But hey, what do you care? After all, he sure does look cool on those shirts, right? Who cares if he's a mass murderer.

*sigh* Stop listening to hollywood and start using that organ between your ears.

Most (xbox) dlc seems to be available quite early in the morning here in the UK. GMT (well BST now) is about +5hours compared with the US East Coast and +7hours Edmonton.  Sometimes in can be 5pm UK though (Firewalker).

Please watch this:


1. It's Ramirez, not "Romirez," the "a" and the "o" button are on opposite sides of the keyboard. Please check your spelling.

2. Please get all of that Cold War-era pro -US propaganda out of your head.

3. Out of respect for the maker of this thread and the people posting here, I will not discuss communism, for that is off-topic.

So we can have Hitler as our avatar then say you're just using 'World War 2 era pro ally propaganda' when you complain?
