Ya know, if they kept their word on Pre-Order/Special Characters going forward, instead of everyone suddenly getting The Pyro and then making Ash Harding a DLC, this character probably wouldn't have gotten so much negative feedback already. I'm missing the character, I'd like to get him, but as a DLC, it feels wrong and cheap to those that tossed in with The Ball and won, hell, The Ball owners even got a treat with freaking Portal. Now that's bloody epic, and exclusive. (I had the option of pre-ordering The Ball, but I just didn't have enough faith/dosh at the time. Oh well, SOL!)

But then you have these other characters...Pyro, should have stayed for those that actually went and bought Team Fortress 2 prior to the F2P update.

Ash, I'd like to get me a Gold Box Edition and get that while I gift the rest of the crap inside to friends.

But now that those two are available via other, easy/money means, and this character isn't, it's kinda a WTF Tripwire sort of thing.

I can understand the anger, but going about it by causing flame threads and attacking naysayers...well.
Spoiler!


So shaddup already. You *****ed for Ash and it went on DLC, the same isn't going to happen to a character that's been here much longer than she has...(At least I hope not)

I don't see why people are freaking out about this char.

1) It's a char.
2) People CAN'T see themselves play the char. If someone else has the char in the game, then that player sees it. But I don't see my own char. No, I don't care about someone playing in single player third person mode.
3) People want it just because they want it.
4) TWI has stated in no uncertain terms that the Ball char will not be made available again.
5) It's a char.

Meh, why not? No real reason to keep him exclusive anymore.
The reason is the promise this char to stay as pre-order bonus.

EDIT: The char itself is very ugly though. I have it but I maybe used it just 3 or 4 times at all.

Just like the promise not to release game changing DLC that would divide the community into those who have the DLC, and those that don't? I personally don't give a crap about the new weapons mysel, but my point is, even though I have the character, I don't see a reason to add community dividing DLC while still keeping the Ball character exclusive. In for a penny, in for a pound.

If you say so... just like this apple isn't red I suppose?

Spoiler!


Fact is there is an element of the game that I can't play because I haven't bought the DLC. The weapon DLC IS game altering content, as it changes the way the player will play the game, as opposed to the rest of the DLC where the change was purely cosmetic.

But there is no point starting an arguement, as I say don't care myself. My point is I have the ball character, and I see no reason not to make him purchasable.

So because they've broken one 'promise' they should break all the others? That logic doesn't seem to work for me.

In my mind, of the 2, the DLC is the one that will (and has) erked people the most. After the weapon DLC who honestly gives a crap about whether or not someone can purchase an exclusive character or not?

Personally I'd love to roll KF back to the way it was after the beta (and roll the Berserker back even further). I'd be extatic to roll the weapons back prior to the M14/AA12/SCAR.

However I'm not the target audience anymore, and since its players like me who have the character, I simply cannot believe anyone would give a rats arse about Spebbington anymore.

As I say there is no reason to keep him exclusive. Give the people what they want. After all, it has worked out so well over the last year.

Sorry, when you said "dividing the community" my mind jumped to Call of Duty. I suppose that's an extreme example though, because you get kicked from the server/ lobby if it switches to a map they have but you don't. Then again, CoD is probably one of the reason people seem to hate paid DLC so much. At least we get maps for free.

At least with KF you can play in the same server as people that have the weapon pack and they can even give you the weapon for you to use. Granted, if play X is in a game with a bunch of dbags or doesn't play with people on their friends list, yes that would really suck. :\

Harchier Spebbington will be ULOCKED

Harchier Spebbington will be ULOCKED

We want Harchier Spebbington become ULOCKED!

Let's join together to one Steam group, so Tripwire can see that we are serious-minded and there is a lot of us! Everyone is important! Steam group:
[url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/HSYES[/URL]


No need to discuss here. Want him? Just join Steam group. We don't need flame wars here and that this thread become closed.Haters, you can complain, moan, whine, whimper, say whatever you want, we don't care. We will silently win.

Admins and Tripwire staff, just came to our group and see how many peole WANT that character. Then think again and make a right choice - UNLOCK Harchier Spebbington! Allow us to get him somehow.

P.S. Correct me if I made grammar mistakes. Thank you.

Maps are paid DLC in COD? Wow, I knew the franchise had turned bad, but I never imagined how bad.

And regarding the OP I couldn't really care less about some skins. I think he is kind of silly and annoying anyway.

Id love for this skin to be made available! However I for one realize TW should opt to keep these exclusive to event dates... not achievements though. 100% achievements really need to kept available even if only during events.

Unfortunately with some achievements being tied to some skins this wouldnt be possible for each one!

Shame really...
