Nice slap in the face to early adopters there. Offer a special deal from one place, then weeks later offer a better special deal from a different place. Of course, I have already got the horse pre-order and it's already been bought and paid for, so if I want the atv, it'll mean having to buy it again. Not going to happen.

I wouldn't care so much if it wasn't so much more difficult to make an atv than a horse in game. A horse is starter vehicle, you can get one practically from the start...

The Waste Runner horse (pre-order) is not a normal horse, and the ATV has it own downsides, as is, the ATV actually sucks. Ask anyone who built and used them for long time!

I'm pretty sure there are many possible offending phrases to say related to riding horses and such, though they might not sound as modern as "stick it in your tailpipe and smoke it"

Oh, I know the Waste Runner is an improvement over an ordinary horse. I certainly don't mind having one. And I'm aware that ATVs really aren't as good as horses in the game. I am in the beta, that's a complaint you can't swing a prairie chicken corpse without hitting.

It's rather like an ice cream stand offering free vanilla cones. You're happy you have it, and there's nothing wrong with vanilla. But if you're halfway through and they announce you now have a choice of vanilla or chocolate... Kind of hard not to feel a bit cheated. If you had waited, you could have had a choice. But you jumped in early and the choice was made for you.

Good to see that they are supporting their loyal followers. I pre-ordered from GameStop months ago and because I'm a) getting a boxed copy and b) not pre-ordering at the last minute, I get screwed.

Shows how desperate they are maybe?

They said ahead of time that there would be more preorders with their own bonuses. If I really have to track-down the FAQ entry, I will. Anyone who ordered from D2D and feels cheated only has themself to blame from not being informed (and for not having the common sense to assume that more preorder bonuses would probably appear - they always do).

Really people stop pre order stuff for crappy bonus! Wait til the mmo is really up and running to see of its a piece of crap with lag servers or the best mmo ever... Pre Order something base on trailers and so on does not work for MMO! I learn my lesson the hard way with Age of Conan and Warhammer Online!
