I myself am a collector.




ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL OF THIS FORM.-

--

But, thats not the thing im focusing on here, there is nowhere else to get it, and i myself am a collector, and i have all of the pre-order armor except the darn terminus armor and the black hole gun. Im really not in the mood to go on customer support for thirteen hours and mostly giving a damn to actually believing that anybody would answer.


Anyone got a good way? Im not doing piracy, thats just plain rude to bioware, and its been months to get the other armors.

[didymos1120]

Only way to get it legally is to buy it on the PS3. The Gamestop codes are all expired by this point.

[Crysis44]

Dang.

But im talking about the PC version.

Yeah, I know, but the DLC is only for sale on the PSN, and only for the PS3 version. That's the only legal way to get it now.

...Bummer.

Well, sorry for bothering you.

Bioware is starting to make me not even want to play their games anymore. This is just annoying, at least it's not depressing like DA2 though. That means something coming from me I have extreme OCD and I don't have Terminus Weapon/Armor either, drives me insane.

[JanisaryJames]

You're not missing much to be entirely honest. If you're as hardcore as you seem, you'll have Blood Dragon armor and that kicks way more ass than Terminus crap. It even looks cooler than that polygonal monstrosity. And the singularity gun is a gimmick at best. It doesn't do much of anything against enemies with armor or shields, and when it does do something its the literal equivalent to a Wide Singularity followed up with a Warp Blast. It was aimed at those who play the quick-start Shep and wouldn't notice its a ripoff of a common Adept tactic.

Trust me, They're not for you classy folk.

Call EA. They might help. I just got the collector rifle and armor last week by calling them and saying my code didn't work. which was true, because I didn't have one.

[Bitework]

oops double post. pretty fail forum.

I have the Blood Dragon Armor, the issue isn't that I want it for bonuses or to max out stats. I want it because it is literally the only peice of DLC I don't have. (As a side note though armor bonuses don't mean much anymore after playing through on insanity quite a few times. I think it'd look good on my renegade ManShep.)

[RA RA XD]

I really like both Terminus and Blood Dragon for different characters. Terminus on widow Infiltrator Assassin, Blood dragon on Adept Nemesis. I don't particularly use Terminus for the stats, although they are all highly beneficial to my inf (Faster storm speed to reach cover faster, increased ammo for the widow) and the blackstorm is just funny for pulling husks of floating platforms. Don't know how you'll get the armor though. Sorry I couldn't be of any help

I've already submitted the following in another thread but what the hell, it's relevant to thread which I support wholeheartedly...

"..So... I've waited months now for Bioware to reconcile their misjudgement concerning 'PS3 Exclusive' DLC's and so far I've seen little evidence that they have at any point expressed an interest in providing us (the PC and XBox ME community - that trivial market sector that clearly doesn't warrant a second thought) with the aforementioned purchasable content which thus far has remained conspicuously illusive to all but fanatical Dr. Pepper quaffers or Playstation owners - perhaps the two demographics have a natural affinity?

I however, as a spokesman for the forlorn and hopelessly irredeemable group of social pariahs otherwise known as PC users, must once again remind those Bioware marketing executives of the benefits derived from adopting an egalitarian approach to content publishing. In this instance, if you hadn't guessed already, I'm referring to the 'Playstation Network' exclusive DLC's. Speaking for myself, I have gone to great lengths in an effort to acquire the entire portfolio of existing add-ons and now I find myself at an impasse.

The only remaining content that continues to paralyse my efforts is content that is conveniently available to all Playstation users and demands little more effort than a few clicks of a mouse and a trivial financial transaction. In contrast, those PC/Xbox owners who aren't committed to a diet of sugary pop drinks must make do with the status quo. It's not good enough - I'm more than willing to pay for additional content (despite already owning the collector's edition and more) and am ready and willing at the drop of a hat, so what is the problem?

Please don't let us down. I realise I'm just one individual but in a community as large as Mass Effect's, I suspect my feelings mirror those of many other disgruntled obsessionals - and it's the obsessional fans who will float your company through the good times AND the bad.."

Cheers

p.s. I wish people would stop presuming to tell us 'collector's' that we're "...not missing much...", they're missing the point - collecting is about achieving some sense of closure, not being an epeen! It's also insulting in a way that someone on a life-raft might say to a drowning man "...hey man, don't sweat it... you're not missing much!"

They should just release all pre order content for dlc purchase later on. Don't really understand why they can't or wouldn't. It's their content and people would buy it. Or at least, I would.

If they did that, then both pre-order and Collector Edition sales would drop, as people would either wait, or buy normal edition and buy CE DLC later on.

If that was indeed their primary concern then why is the playstation network allowing PS owners the opportunity to purchase pre-order exclusives sans exclusivity?

Chrisnabal raises a valid point; I for one abhor the concept of exclusive 'content'. In my opinion, exclusive packages in the form of collector and deluxe editions should provide tangible exclusives like art books and gimmicky memorabilia. In the case of digital 'deluxe' editions, all bonus content should be included as standard to justify the inflated price tags.

Pre-order incentives on the other hand, should be implemented in completely different way - a way that doesn't need to preclude 'late-comers' from existing content (exclusive or otherwise). Since the prices of deluxe editions usually approximate their pre-order counterparts, there should be no disparity between their content. Early access (in addition to 'bonus' content which will later be included in a similarly priced deluxe edition) should be all the incentive fanatical fans require.

I for one have adopted a new policy as a result of the increasingly popular trend for publishers to section off content and distribute the rights accordingly to disparate groups of commercial affiliates for the sake of financial expediency and that is the polar opposite of their intended marketing ploy - I never purchase a game within the first 6 months of its release and if it becomes clear that procuring all related official content is impossible (courtesy of 'exclusivity'), I simply won't purchase the game at all.

It's not a case of juvenile despondency; I simply disapprove of the principle and won't support such a complacent business model on that basis. Ultimately, I believe that the consumers (i.e. the people who fork out the money) should be the recipients of the market’s collective good will. ‘Products’ should not be fragmented piece-meal, content distribution rights should be sufficient to entice retailers looking for a piece of the developer’s pie and the affiliate system (see Dr. Pepper exclusives) should either be unceremoniously dumped or limited to content which is currently available via other means – that OR they could commission the talents of the developing company’s staff to produce their OWN exclusive.

Might be nice to get a Bio take on this issue.. has our patience been time wasted?

I am going to repeat Taciter in hopes of this being emphasized to Bioware. I am willing to pay for ALL of the extra content if they make it more easy to acquire. PLEASE make all the equipment available after ME3 has made its quota! I sooo want the armors, the visors, the guns! I don't want to have to create 3 different accounts in 3 separate places just to download it!

I've said it before, but I'd direct your inquiries to Twitter.  The devs are much more active there than here.  If enough people bug them about it, they'll respond.  I'd say Casey Hudson and David Silverman are the best ones to ask, and maybe Preston Watamaniuk.

Thanks for the head's up Didymos, sounds like an excellent suggestion - I'll be sure to sign up today!

Forgive me... I'm new to social network sites... how do I target 'Casey Hudson and David Silverman' specifically?

[Augoeides]

On twitter? Find their twitter page by putting their names through the twitter search, and then write a tweet but put @<insertperson's twitterpagenamehere> at the start or in it.

[Chromie]

So why hasn't Bioware added all the preorder bonuses in a patch?

...snip....

Basically as an incentive for players on the new platform. Give away the DLC that cant be ordered, and then you can nickle and dime them for the rest of it. Typical EA behaviour in that regard.

The one thhing i absolutely despise though, is "brand exclusive" DLC. ie: that DLC which was only available if you pre-ordered via Gamestop. Too bad if you are in a country/region which didnt have a Gamestop or affiliated outlet. If anything, that gives PC owners an incentive to don a pegleg and eyepatch, and walk around saying "Yarr!" 

[d1sciple]

there's a little shakeup going on at the mo, but it relates more to online games and the fact that an exclusive upgrade giving someone an edge over other players(not the game) is unfair and any preorder bonus or collectors ed. type pack should be available for everyone as a purchasable DLC at a later date.
that kind of thing makes complete sense, get in quick to get something special or wait, i don't think it's an unfair marketing ploy, there's a huge group of people that love extras and collectables, most of us will be guilty of multiple playthroughs of a single game just to get some trophy or item etc.
i think a similar system would work well for single player games, like Me and such. actually i can't see why you wouldn't? apart from sister'sales type extras like the blood dragon armour, which i think is a legitimate way of getting fans of one franchise into another, the time release system would benefit everyone, including the likes of EA. i know i for one would buy a DLC of all the 'special' armours, just so i could have them all.
