    Icon10 Please no poxy pre order DLC incentives

    Someone has to say it, so i will!

    Dont wanna bring down the euphoria or anything, but it was the issue that eventually drove me away from TW series.

    Please CA, you know how high esteem RTW is held in, please dont mess about with its sequel by using lame pre order incentives, then sell them on at a later date for more £££.

    Hattori was ok, Ikko Ikki was the right idea, but the Obama, Tsu, Sogo thingy for FotS was shambolic and cannot be allowed to taint TWR2!

    Yeah, a limited edition type thing like the Hattori was ok! The splitting into 3 and selling them on for absurd price later on wasnt!

    I want all fractions in game when I get it. Some new units would be nice for preorders and dlcs. But for preoders I want a map of the game with settlements on it so amazons rebels can't hide for 10 years unfound.

    I agree that they should keep the pre order DLC to the minimum, it is something i see way too much nowadays and quite frankly only achieves decreasing my opinion of the company.

    Agree 100%. Those DLC pre order bonusses must stop. Not only prevents it from taking the full experience (all factions), it's also shameless cow milking for a few extra euro's.

    I don't think this can be overstated, the crap they pulled with FOTS left me with a very bad taste in my mouth, and I felt like they really treated us like crap for it. Respect your consumers please! We'll buy your content if you do!

    Only thing I am worried about is if they release factions as DLCs would this mean modders will be unable to add factions themselves? Either because its beyond their skills or for legal reasons? So for example. One DLC releases several Gallic tribes in a Gaul DLC. Would this mean Modders cannot create and add similar tribes themselves?

    I mean for one I agree with CAs right to release these factions in DLCs but at the same time we have grown use to being able to create factions ourselves and include them in mods. And then theres always what if they dont release the factions you want? Will you be able to find these factions in mods or ?

    I'm not into faction DLCs or pre orders, but if a multiplayer items or armor sets? I'm TOTALLY fine with that, as long if those items actually meant something.

    Make a reality check, people. It's 99% sure they will follow similar marketing strategy with RTWII unless it actually didn't bring enough money with Shogun II. It's standard in the indsutry nowadays and it's probably SEGA not CA decision to do all this pre-order DLC crap...

    As i said, and as the thread title suggests - just dont do Poxy DLC!

    S2TW Limited Edition gave you online Exp, Armour Set, Retainers, exclusive Historical Battle, exclusive Hattori clan and then later on they released this all as a DLC pack!

    FotS was not the right way to do it, the splitting of factions and selling at silly price.

    I dont expect, as you suggest because of business models and current economy, them not to do any Pre-Order incentive, i just expect it to be of better quality than FotS gave the consumer.

    Oh no! Don't encourage CA and their limited edition BS. You may be hard core fans but I'm pretty sure some casual gamers found the fact that some people who pre-ordered or paid more getting a faction whose units can hide anywhere scandalous.


    Just go back to vanilla + expansions, and don't mix them in MP (RotS provides a huge advantage)...

    Think about it. If the marketing slogan is "how far will you go for Rome?" expect the worst in DLC, pre-order "exclusives" etc.

    No, a pre order, physical version that comes with a soldier statue, a helmet or something along those lines is ok. But that's about it. NO "I have this faction and you wont" thing. It's absurd.

    That would make more sense if TW was a standard series.
    Jon had taken Donal and Benjen’s advice to heart: Sam may be fat and pathetic, but he is still a member of the watch, and one of the few black brothers who isn't a rapist or thief. (out of context, this sounds ridiculously racist)
