Ouch,I'll admit, we do deserve at least some of that. We have been focusing to much on the Bioware side of things, and havn't taken into account that EA might be jerking the strings nearly enough. I let my fustration with the problems in Awakening and the Patches get the better of me, and for that I apologise. It's just hard for me fathom that Bioware isn't allowed to talk to us about what they are doing to fix the problems in the game. I'll be honest, it never even occured to me that they legaly couldn't tell us about patches.PrimalWraith wrote...
And so the cycle of internet douchbaggery continues
-The minority of vocal idiots complain,
-Caring, understanding, helpful and possibly naive company workers attempt to show that the company is listening,
-Vocal idiots finaly have a scapegoat to quote and rage against,
-Posts from said company stop,
-Vocal idiots go back to complaining that no-one responds to or respects their "valid" complaints,
I have read all of the posts from bioware(woo) and skipped much of the pathetic whining so forgive me if I generalise or seem trite but I feel two things warrant another crack at trying to get through.
1) "OMG U GUIZ DUN ANSER", you realise ofcourse that people working for a developer (bioware in this case) with a publisher (the ever evil EA) would be breaking the law if they let anything slip, it's called non-disclosure, this relates to ANYTHING to do with the company, even if they are fixing the very problem that 90% of their customer base is threatening to leave the game over they will not even be allowed to tell you they are working on it unless given legal go-ahead.
Make posts with information on bugs you have encountered to help the developers out otherwise stop playing the game if you feel you have been wronged, constantly raging against people who's hands are tied with red tape does no-one any favours, and as you have seen by the response in this thread just makes the developer that's trying to help give up on the collective morons that forums attract.
2) "U GUISE CNT PROGRUM LOLZ", Although the developer can "discuss" the direction a game is heading the last call falls with the publisher on what funding they will continue to get and when the game has to be realeased.
In the constant Tug'o'war between developers trying to make the game they want and publishers trying to get enough money to swim in as quick as they can, things will have to be dropped or "rushed" along the way (That was the whole compromise post from Mr. Woo incase you missed it). Whether a developer knows about a Bug or not they will have a limited ammount of time to find the code responsible,fix it and evaluate it before the publisher wants another game/DLC started, and so bugs will get through.
Unless you are blizzard in which case you have enough money to buy heaven and can do what you want.
I must be alone in the fact that I have only had 1 bug in all of the DA franchise when my main char fell through the floor once in DA:A, anyone else had next to 0 issues with this game?
As a PS to Mr. Woo if he's still watching, thank you for the responses, of the many games played in recent years of the short few weeks reading this forum I have seen more developer responses from Bioware than any other (even mythic) and it shows how much you guys care. My "read between the lines" skillset isn't as good as it used to be but from some of your posts I get the impression that your contract is stopping you from saying "EA did it if the bastards left us alone we would fix everything".
Being forced to put out a game before they were ready, sure, I can see how they couldn't talk about that, but not patching the game. Once again, I am really sorry for any hurt or ill will that I caused in this thread, I meant to comunicate my fustration, but not to accuse anyone at Bioware of incompatance, lazyness, or just not caring.
