It's in the upper price bracket for a game but then I was paying this for most xbox games. Price isn't a issue if the game is great

So the Season Pass isn't DLC is it not?
Releases on the 5th or something isn't it? close enough to day one considering its being pushed down your throat.

Where does it say this mate? I did hear they are pushing the preloads out in waves. Not sure how true that is tho.

Just download it from the trion website when it launches probably midnight tonight?

Don't think its steamworks.

Just register your steam key on the trion site.

This is what I have done. As I got feed up of waiting for steam to unlock there download.

All installed now and ready to go when the servers go live.

I would do the preload through Trion site but its nice to have it through Steam. I can wait a day.........I hope!!!

robin66 · 1 Apr 2013 at 21:00

I've only downloaded from Trion to get the names I want. I'll just uninstall it and install it on steam when it goes live.

£35 with no subscription fee is considered "stupidly high" now for an mmo?

Where are you finding this ****? There is no day 1 dlc. afaik the store has cosmetic items and some XP boosts.

I paid £22:99 would not pay £35

my thoughts too. Not even going to bother anymore. Looks like hes hating on the game just for the sake of it.

The season pass goes on sale officially on that date, not the actual DLC :rolleyes:

The season pass IS DLC, or I'm I missing something here?
Also I'm not hating for the sake of hating.
Steam says the season pass unlocks on the 5th, its DLC.
DLC that close to launch is so stupid and could have easily of just been in the game to begin with, but no they slice it off and sell it as "extra"
I don't see where the confusion is?

I really don't understand...how is the season pass DLC? Sure it will get you access to DLC - at some point, it will contain nothing when it launched though. Plenty of games go with season passes these days?

Its not DLC, your just buying DLC in advance for a cheaper price

A season pass is a pass to a season of DLC. When the DLC is ready to be released you will get the dlc on release day for free if you purchase the season pass. If you do not you will have to pay for each separately when they release.

Black ops 2 did it the same way. £35 season pass preorder in november, then they released around 2 months after eachother with the first around january. You could buy the season pass for £35 one full price, or each dlc as they came out for £11.49 each, its over £10 cheaper to buy the season pass, and a lot easier.

Just because there is an option to preorder a season pass does not mean the dlc is ready to be played now. They more than likely have only just started it a few weeks ago when they finished the game and are going to be working on it now that the fulls games out.

Just download the one from the Trion website and when it goes live on Steam just copy the files over and it'll discover existing files which will probably cover 99% of the install.
