I disagree completely.  The fact that Bioware decided to be generous to a particular group of fans does not take anything away from the rest of us.

This is a totally different situation to, for instance, the "epic community event" which was promised for everyone but only made available to most U.S. states.  There, Bioware marketed an event for all and didn't deliver.  Here, they promised nothing, and don't owe us anything. 

Really, suppose that I decide to give a present to a friend who crossed the Atlantic to visit me, since I was so touched by the effort she made.  Them imagine if all my other friends started complaining that I didn't give presents to them too.  Wouldn't that show an absurd and wrong sense of entitlement?  The quoted comment feels just like that to me.

I see your point but I dont agree with you. It could (and it is completely okay with me) apply for swag items and other stuff. But in game items? No. Although that event was big it wasnt big enough for exclusive in game items. (I hope you know what I mean by this). And again players from all around the world didnt even have a chance to get it. (and please dont say that they could have flown all the way to the U.S.)

Thanks for that reply.. ^^
Especially if they didn't announce anything before giving away those packs, I mean.. WTF..!? o.O

Of course I wouldn't say they should have taken a flight just to get some in-game items.  That would be absurd!

Personally, I don't understand why it's important for some people to have every possible in-game item.  I can empathise a little bit, as I was a tad miffed at missing out on one of the heavy weapons in ME2 because of not being able to pre-order from a specific retailer, but ultimately it didn't affect my playing experience that much.  Indeed, it only affected it at all because each ME heavy weapon has its own special game mechanic.  Off the top of my head, I can't think of any Dragon Age DLC item that comes with its own game mechanic.  Accordingly, I don't see why missing out on any of it is a big deal.  Mind you, I am happy to agree to disagree; I can acknowledge that it clearly matters to you.  I suppose I just don't see how it could matter so very much as to warrant posting threads or sending emails about it.  If anyone would like to explain why or how it matters so much to them, please enlighten me.

Why it matters to me is because I am very proud when I go to the "Extras" part of the main menu and can browse through my collection of exclusive items which have lovingly made icons and their own story in the codex.. that's why, for me, it matters.

And again, to everyone who cares like me:
I'm sure we can make a difference if we tell EA/BioWare what we think about it..
As I already mentioned, you can tell the customer stupport here:

I'd be very curious what reactions you get ^^

This pack wasn't officially announced. Looks like it was targeted at only a small group of people and probably you shouldn't even know about it. For whom and why ? Probably that's not your business either.
It is clear it wasn't for you, you won't get - deal with it.

BTW I agree with Estelindis.

[Albert.Wesker]

This is the person who gave the stuff @ ComicCon - maybe we should shoot him a few PMs and see where that leads us?

Just forwarded him to this thread..
Oh and I'm still waiting for the superior's e-mail.
While I am waiting, I asked the support for informations about the pack, but they've got none, weirdly..
That guy just told me to wait for my reply and a reply on this thread..

[YamiDragoon]

Chris answered, with a very simple answer "We'll keep it in mind =)" o.O

[YamiDragoon]

Boy, this is just my Hawke making me look like a girl, huh? XD
w/e.. really hoping to get this going somewhere..

I can only speak for myself.... but I am a neurotic DLCwh-ore.... (DLCho just doesn't sound as good)
I am still annoyed that I can't have all of the promo-dlc from Origins.... Legally.... There are just too many and no one sells unopened Collector's Editions any more...
I even went and got the unecrypted dazips from the wiki site... so I have some of them... but the encrypted ones are just beyond reach.

Which isn't so bad for preorder bonuses... But for seemingly locked out peices of the base game? (I could be wrong, I haven't opened up DA2 to see if the items actually exist there or if they are just place holder names and icons, given how all anyone can pull from the game is the icons, I'm leaning towards the latter... )

And I worked very hard to get all of the DA2 preorder bonuses... I think there might be a correlation between people who are like me and people who try and get all the pokedex filled up (or, for those of you who are in the know, the Demonic Compendium completely filled).... Because I sure as hell try!

It's just a bit of an OCD tendency.

Still no reply from EA or BioWare..

[YamiDragoon]

Any news, guys?

[Chris Priestly]

There is no news on this.

It was a 3 item pack that we gave away during the San Diego Comic Con. Currently we have no plans to reuse or distribute these items. I have passed the idea of giving them away again to the Dev team for future consideration, but there are no plans to release these currently.

Don't you dare.

You gave them out to thank your fans, and none of the supposed fans here even knew that they were ever given out.

True fans would have known!

[Albert.Wesker]

Honestly? I'm a big fan of Bio games, but I don't live in the US at all nor can I afford attending such a convent. So, devSin, you crossed a line here.

I agree. Are they going UBIWAY ?? And where are free DLC like for ME2 ??
Check "The Witcher 2". Extra DLC, that was added for Collector's Edition or by specific retailers, was later included in game updates. FOR NO EXTRA FEE !!

[YamiDragoon]

At least right now I have WoW 4.3 and Skyrim to play..
Feeling a little pissed off right now and I must reconsider if I want to still collect DA stuff or just play it from time to time..
And yes, pzleo, Ubisoft really pisses me off.. especially their not-existing support.. >.<

[pzleo]

I almost missed last 2 dlc for DA2- was playing ME1, Batman AA GOTY or smth else.

[YamiDragoon]

Very disappointed *sighs*..
