Am starting to believe it will be MP content only, have you seen how many bioware employees on their forums regarding new content, yeah it's mostly fixes and demands but still, none of them bothered to drop by on the various threads regarding new sp dlc yet.
My addiction need to be sedated bioware.
With MP stuff they usually would tag it #DAIMP or #DAMP, The thing about earthquakes was just #DAI but at this point who knows.
EA Gamescom conference is over, no sign of DLC.
Not sure if there'll be another chance at Gamescom for them to announce it? I don't really know how it works. If there isn't, the Paris Games Week starts at the end of October...
Of course they don't have to announce it at a gaming event, they could do it anytime, but surely Gamescom was the best place even if it isn't ready and they announce it with a release date a month or two down the road.
I do wonder though why bother posting the earthquakes tweet, knowing that everyone would read into it as "DLC announcement at Gamescom".

Well because It might happen today, maybe EA conference just wasnt the place to announce a DLC

Like I said, I don't know how Gamescom works. Is there actually an opportunity for them to announce anything now? From what I've seen it's a few conferences, then a hall with a bunch of booths with playable demos etc.
They could announce it via the interwebz or twitter, which I think is the way that JoH was announced. Why though? Why not announce it at the EA conference with the entire gaming world watching?
Also I'm not sure about the EA conference not being the place to announce a DLC as they used it to announce a SW:KotOR expansion.
EDIT: Obviously I will happily eat humble pie and be proven wrong if it is announced today.
Yeah, BW is now just messing with us. Maybe it was funny in the couple first of days when they started teasing us. But now they are just being needlessly evasive. If they don't give any news today, I give up on waiting. They can release it whenever they want it, I'm done.

Everyone? I know I didn't see it that way. If people did, that is their own fault.
It's not really hard to notice that tweeting a hint to an upcoming DLC the day prior to a big gaming event where companies announce things is going to get people connecting those dots.
If there was never an intention to reveal the DLC, this is a PR blunder. Not the end of the world, but a foolish mistake.

Well because It was expansion not DLC
DLCs are supposed to be smaller things compared to expansions, so not really the place I guess, Twitter seems like the best place atm
I mean that last hint yesterday seemed like the biggest hint so far, might mean we are really really close, like any day now
EDIT: They might have just posted another codex entry, but They decided to post such a huge hint, well well

Aren't you forgetting that Jaws of Hakkon dropped without a peep from BioWare? Hakkon was announced on a Monday (or it could have been that Tuesday I can't remember), then released the following day. Remember DLC is trying to attract fans not new players. They know fans will more then likely be interested in the DLC then some outsider who never played a Dragon Age before.

Connecting false dots. If someone from the DAI team had said something about Gamescom in a tweet, then there would be a stronger indicator that something might go down during the Press Conference. It was just a coincidence. I mean, it's not the first tease we've had from them.

Wow, the negativity in here is strong.
Things change a lot in production. While they have to have a hard deadline for a full game, staying flexible for DLC makes sense. So if they release a date, it makes that flexibility near impossible (they could delay it and anger people, or release on time but make cuts, etc.). Delays can occur even during approval, so it's no real wonder that they wait until right when they're going to release to say anything solid.
So, that established, I'm curious what people think is the best solution during the time between releases? Say nothing at all to contain hype? Give a few hints spread out over time rather than radio silence? Only hint when there's a few days left to wait before solid information (knowing that for months before, you would get nothing)?
We know something is going to be released eventually. As for the amount of time it's taking, it's not fair to compare it to, say, ME3, because they had multiple studios working on DLC, then. This time around, everyone else is busy working on other games, so of course it's going to take longer between single-player, story-based releases (unless you're ok with smaller, less substantial DLC).
I won't say don't get hyped, because it's fun! But don't then get angry at BioWare if the hype ends up being premature, or if they don't give information at an event they never even said they would be at. Personally, I think the teasing is funny. I'm looking forward to new story DLC just like everyone else. Fortunately, I have other things to do while I wait. *Is still backlogged on Steam Summer Sale acquisitions...*
Then look at Bioware's history. They have never announced DLC at large gaming events, they typically only announce new games and maybe a major expansion like the new SWTOR expansion.Sorry but there is no argument that will. convince me that its better to announce DLC for a hugely popular game on twitter than at a Gamescom conference.
The main thing that makes me salty is the fact that there haven't been any noteworthy games this year. Since Arkham Knight got delayed my full focus is on the greatest game of 2014 and I really did want to get something in the summer.
And once Christmas arrives there will be other games to play.
Sorry but there is no argument that will. convince me that its better to announce DLC for a hugely popular game on twitter than at a Gamescom conference.
Poor DLC (Leviathan) for ME3 which released Aug 28, 2012 which was 3 day before Pax Prime 2012 
Not even talking about that Leviathan was announced Aug 2, 2012 even tho they could have announced it at Gamescom which was happening August 15-19, 2012

Frankly it would be bizarre for them to announce DAI DLC at Gamescom. That said, I could see them making an announcement during or shortly after the event.
Morning guys! I'm here for another complete day of the ups and downs of the hype train. What new torture will they inflict upon us today? I, for one, hope it's a new Know Your Lore. I love those.

I didnt say that Bioware always announce DLC at gaming events, I said that there is no argument that would convince me that it is better not o
No arguing there, Its definetly better to announce it big at some event (you get more attention for the game itself and people suddenly remember they want the game or get back to it + the sale on Origin going on), but thats not what they do I guess
Anyway it might or might not be up to EA, doesn't matter at this point, It didnt happen and It might happen any day now, possibly even today

Indeed. Here's to another day of a bunch of people crying wolf.
Sorry. Keep the lore coming BW.
