$100 dollar version owner Is the new DLC free or not?

[Elko8001]

i bought the most expensive edition and if this new DLC isn't free it really is a slap to the face for those owners anyone know how that is gonna work thank you.

If you purchased the deluxe edition, then you received the Hammer & Shield DLC for free - the content package that had the Coastal Reserves and Advanced Infantry battlegroups, along with skins for multiple units and a new BG to use for the Italian campaign.

The new Fire & Steel content package will be sold through the Steam store towards the end of February, with a specific release date coming soon.

Just wow lmao. In other words: Never buy the most expensive edition ever from relic.

25 is a lot? Dude, it's worth less then a coffee and a sandwich at the local bakery. Hold your horses lol.

Mang, not often i get a game where i can play some good hours on. Let me enjoy my cheap dlc.

You guys looking for a handout? I bought the most expensive edition too. It clearly states exactly what you're buying. This is a niche RTS from an newly independent studio.

As the poster above says, it's about as much as buying takeout.

If this is too much of a financial burden, I'd probably sort out your financial situation first before you go complaining on a forum about a legitimate product.

When I bought the most expansive edition their first "expansion" was not released or announced yet, it certainly didn't "clearly states exactly what you're buying". Let's be real 2 commanders with some random skins was not and is not an "expansion". But you have to be insane to expect an actual "expansion" within the first year of release. Especially with the state the game go released in.

But yes, the fancy edition never said it came with all dlc forever or anything like that. Just the first one.

If you think the DLC is too expansive (like me) than wait and save for a sale...

no but when you pay $100 bucks for dlc that was all free basically with in game credits its really a slap to the face says much about the devs.

To be fair, it depends on where you are.
In where I'm in, coffee and bread can go as low as 1$ in convenient store, and 3$ for freshly made ones. Wage per day can go as low as 1$ an hour, however.

What ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bakery are you pair going to? Is it owned by some 5* Michellen Chef? The sheer idea that "This is less than a takeout" is actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deranged and one I absolutely refute (Especially for "Just a coffee and a Sandwich").

$25 is way too much, whether you wish to admit it or not. Let's look at TW:WH3 which has it's DLC in 3 waves. Each time now it's 3 DLCs for £7.49ea and (for a total of £22.47) I get 3 new lords with brand new campaign mechanics, a handful of actually new and interesting units and they throw in FLC alongside it. For the same price a game which could be argued is "Bigger and more expansive" has way more bang for your buck in DLC.

Actively ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on people complaining about the price of DLC to run defense for a company pushing the prices above what they should ($25 is often more than some games make you pay for a DLC which is an entire game overhaul or, for most RTS games, are DLCs centered around entire new factions and units) is the problem. I do love the tanks being added but I am not buying this DLC until it goes on sale to a price which is way more reasonable ($10).

Also no, I'm not going to listen to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ "UH WELL ITS A BIG STUDIO AND THE DEVS NEED MONEY FOR FOOD *pleading eyes*", this is almost always a push from the execs who want more money from the players who're willing to cough up money with the devs still being nickel and dimed for their work.

That sums it up. They didn't rip anyone off. They gotta eat too.

Ah, good to see the mod silencing anyone who speaks ill of Relic or the rabid defenders for a multi million dollar company.

Had two of my posts removed the moment I put them up, I see you earned that "award" :)

[PADDY MAIN S.A.S]

If you want the new battle groups DLC, being the heavy armour groups, then it appears players will have to pay for them. However as we all know from COH2 battle groups are not always what they appear, as they perform in a different way to the historical weapons and are adjusted for the game.

It further does not mean it will give you the edge over your opponents and in some cases your better off staying with the original battle-groups'. We further understand from COH2 that when the releases come into being, they are never fully tested and some over perform. Then they start to apply patches and degrade their abilities in the game. That in turn means disappointment in the DLC packages. Its all old hat in real terms.

It the expectation of what is to come is the Hype for some, but for me it is a game with flaws. It may come to pass that the merits may be allowed in the purchase of the groups, however that remains to be seen as we have no concrete insight into these and the new patch coming up.

ehehe, that was the whole reason for "hammer & shield" dlc. to uphold the promise of delivering content. i bet most of the owners of h&d preordered the deluxe edition. can´t imagine why someone would pay 17€ for a few skins and the 2 battlegroups. BUT : you can buy them in the in-game store seperately, which is a fair play move by relic, have to give them that.

[Hurricane]

Any pricing around this? 3 quid per group and it's a deal anymore and you're scamming us.... all reused assets!

[fakemon64]

the thought that phantom liberty is a dlc that costs only $5 more than what these guys are charging is crazy. this dlc should have been $10-$15 at most

[Doug Dimmadong]

Maybe you guys will eventually learn not to pre-buy stuff that you have no idea what you will actually be getting. Nobody to blame but yourself.
