So called "DLC", if it can so be called

so, is this castithan charge pack actually something you need to go into PSN or XBL and download or is it like the deluxe edition add on which is an entitlement? i only ask for gamesharing purposes.



p.s. the title is in reference to whether an actual download is required for downloadable content

[Gomly]

It needs to be downloaded .... thus downloadable content.

either way it will be account linked most likely. pretty much everything in defiance is account linked.

indeed, being on psn and sharing with another bites at times like these :/

Our game actually works quite differently than most other games on the consoles, because we have our own patcher which handles downloading the new content.

So in the end, it's a little bit of both: You'll need to go to the Xbox or PSN store to buy the DLC (if you don't already have it) in order to access the stuff that requires purchase. However, it's the Defiance patcher that will handle downloading the vast majority of the new content, and that stuff will go out to every player as a mandatory update on release day. This is because most of the new stuff in the DLC can be at the very least VIEWED by all players, with a lot of it being playable by all players as well (sieges, new arkfalls, etc.)

Just to clarify I meant linked to the trion account, not sure how the console, share will work honestly.

ALL I hear is Batman is right! Everyone gets the freebie portion but only the trion/console account that bought the DLC gets the paid DLC, right? Please clarify!!!

well its actually linked to both trion and psn account. i just wasnt sure if the premium stuff had one of those 100 kb download keys of if it was defined as a service like the deluxe edition. deluxe edition shows up in the services list, not the downloads so it cannot be downloaded by another person.
