Me to, but I have no problem with that as long as I get the dlc later...

I bought my points when RtO was announced.

I bought the points when 5th of January hit and the DLC was supposed to be released. I am in Europe so I figured that the DLC will be made available at US times, so I bought the points during my business hours. Thought that I'll go home and by that time, maybe couple of hours later, US business hours have started too and the DLC is ready to be downloaded and I have the points to do it.

Instead I found another message on forums saying that forget it, no DLC.

Wonder why people go crazy like this.



I would rather they release the DLC when it is READY, instead of releasing it unfinished because they promised a certain date.



To those that already bought your points. No one forced you to do so.



Seems a bit like some people whine for the sake of whining atm. Flame away.

 I agree, but I think a lot of people feel betrayed and let down, as no solid explanations are being offered, and, as someone said on a now closed forum, the word "sorry" is sadly lacking.

I agree that the product has to be perfect, but if a release date is released, it should be adheared too.

Bought them yesterday as soon as I read the announcement. First and last time that I buy points before the DLC is actually available.

I bought mine in December. I don't see the fuss -- it's not as if you lose the points by buying them early.

Yes, but when it comes to Bioware DLC and after I get RtO I'm never bothering again.



In my opinion, their products are excellent, but their customer care sucks.



And I'm not talking about the DLC been delayed (that can happen to anybody), but about their attitude towards the fans on these forums.



Speculation, grief and baiting people on these forums are rife, but I guess bad publicity is still publicity. If it works for some, good on them. It doesn't on me; and no matter how excellent their products are I'm not falling for it again.



I'll still buy their products, off the shelf or online, but as far as for DLC's for those products: thank you very much, but no, thank you!



My choice, my freedom, my mind at rest!

I don't see the point in putting money down for something that does not exist to purchase there and then.

I don't think that anybody bought anything that didn't exist, otherwise what is all this fuss about it on these forums? And why are you here to discuss about it too? ;)

I haven't bought any points. If something comes out that I want, i'll buy as many as I need to buy it. Until then, why buy points I might not want to use?

Same here. I was actually checking the forums every few minutes when it was delayed, because I was waiting for people to say the PC version was out.

Ah well :( If the PC version is still out today, then I'd say it'll be out by 7pm UK time. Hopefully.

Yes. I really wish I hadn't done it though since I don't really want the DLC anymore.

Because I wasn't counting on the time difference and didn't expect Bioware to announce the delay just a few hours before it's release.  I had a lovely night dreaming about it, but in the morning it wasn't there.

Woe on me for living in Europe and putting faith in this company; it's easily done! It'll never happen again with Bioware, trust me.  I've learned my lesson.  As I said above, not because it was delayed, but because of their poor customer care.

I will not change my attitude towards all companies though, as some do have excellent customer care.  This is just my opinion about Bioware and how I will act to any future transactions with them.

I bought 20 dollars in points when WK came out, and just added 10 more dollars my last paycheck.  My points balance ia around 1800 or so now, so that should hold me over for a while for Dragon Age as well as Mass Effect 2 DLC.

I did, yesterday, since we were led to believe that the PC version would have been released any second. And yes, i'm a bit miffed that at the moment I have nothing to show for my purchase.

Can only hope that it will. Delaying the PC version too would seriously turn this all in a debacle (if it's not one already), not to mention exacerbate further the anti-console sentment between the PC gamers in the community.

I bought mine on Jan 5th. :blush:

All this fuss over RtO though... I know I will enjoy the little quest once I finally play it, but since I have been following these forums for the past couple of days and seen how worked up everyone is over the delays, it's going to feel funny finishing the thing in 30 minutes as well... So much raging and impatience for a small thing like that.:P

I will buy DLC from Bioware in the future. I'm just not going to spend my money until the product is actually available. I feel rightly the fool currently and that isn't a pleasant sensation.

I won't purchase any points until I'm sure there is actually something I want to get with them.

Why are people complaining that buying points ahead was a mistake? Unless Bioware announces that they've cancelled the release of RTO indefinitely THEN you can start complaining. =P

They don't expire, so what's the deal?


No deal. I was just curious. Doesn't seem like they're going to get a whole lot more after release so why not delay it indefinately?

Nope. Probably won't.



I have a lot of trouble spending real money for fake money, and then using fake money to buy things. I'd rather just use my real money to buy the thing. Then again, I haven't bought any DLC for any game ever, so it would have to be particularly amazing.

Bought 'em yesterday when it was said that it would be coming out for PC later in the day. I don't mind spending a few bucks on extras but next time I'm not going to buy any points until the product is actually available. Even then, I might wait a few days to make sure it doesn't get pulled first...

It's not so much that people are putting money down for something that does not exist, but rather they readily put the money down with the faith and expectation that Bioware would deliver.  I know I did and was disappointed.  I'm a long time customer of Bioware, own just about every single title since BG.  I bought the points without hesitation when they announced the DLC (did not look into ME's DLC's issues. I didn't bother with them.) Mea culpa--I won't do it again.  Delays are one thing, fecal matter happens.  However, the way this company handled its customers in the wake of not being able to deliver RtO is just disappointing for this long time fan to watch.
