Sure, give me a few minutes.

Don't suppose we could get a skinnier, height 19 pixels one? That would fit with other banners better.

Yeah.

I'm trying to have ManShep sig visible as well.

[Chewin]

Please do, Phaedon. That way I can keep Sheploo and calibrations as well.

Ah, so we've gotten our answer.

I can see Mr. Priestly's point for sure -- and indeed, it's what I'd figured -- but I also see yours, Phaedon. When I get home from work later I'll sport a banner to help support the thread.

[Someone With Mass]

Well, it's not that surprising. It's happened a lot before.

[PnXMarcin1PL]

Ok Phaedon, time to calibrate those banners to make them smaller

[GHOST OF FRUITY]

No sticky is a shame after all Phaedon's hard work (and cheers, it's hugely appreciated) - i'm sure people will do their best to keep the thread bumped up to the top of page one though, where it belongs.

I get it too but I would think a disclaimer on the OP might rectify that a bit and I never saw the old "What we know" thread in the DA2 forum being used as a "bad" thing. It certainly lasted longer as a sticky through the development period than this thread. All one needs to do is remind newcomers that information is mostly set in stone but anything can change before release. But I think Phaedon and the people who provide him information go to great pains to find multiple sources and we can be fairly sure that the information here is as accurate as it can get.

If things were left up to marketting alone, a whole lot of players would be in the dark for these long nine months or so and that's definitely not a good or helpful way to approach information sharing.

This took me more than it should due to a connection failure, but the skinny variant is up.

For the record, this was my reply:

 I understand that you are just doing your job, Mr. Priestly, but with all due respect, it is not Marketing's choice to announce major changes to the final product, it's their responsibility. And not based on an unwritten moral code between the game developer and the gamer, but on established consumer rights. 

I understand that my PM will change nothing concerning the status of the thread, but if it helps a little bit into changing that marketing policy in the future, then it's worth it. I do not wish to cause any further trouble towards Bioware and/or EA, and I appreciate the fact that you did not lock the thread as others could have done, but please allow me to express my deepest and utter disappointment. 

Thank you for your time.

Indeed -- especially with the banners, I'd venture to say this thread is in good hands for a long while coming. It won't go 'til it's no longer needed.

[JeffZero]

I salute you for dedication, Phaedon You definitely did the right thing in the right manner by approaching Mr. Priestly in a courteous manner and then reiterating your stance politely.

Also, @leonia: Yep. Pretty much

Sorry I'm so short; at work and on break. Going back now though

[Phaedon]

If you need any other calibrations on the size of the signatures please let me know.

[Mims]

/salute

I think people understand that things will change during development. But whether or not this thread is stickied, people will still be angies when it turns out X doesn't happen. It's not like they're going to just forget about whatever X feature is when this page falls off the front. It seems to me the amount of good the thread does outweighs the negative.

[PnXMarcin1PL]

You know, Garrus would tell you that any calibrations have to be done all the time
*salute man, your work is surely good and I and many other appreciate what you've already done and appreciate what you're going to do

@Phaedon Is there a possibility you could reduce the size a little more so it fits next to my Sheploo sig?

[Phaedon]

And thanks for the support again, guys. You are the people who keep the thread running. I'll be adding better warnings on the future, but that's completely unrelated to the sticky status.

No problem at all, I'll PM you the code.

So, basically, something listed in this thread as 'confirmed' is no longer in the game?

Maybe or maybe not.

We have to remember that ME3 is in "development". Anything added to the game from now to launch is subject to change or even the possibility of being removed. Feature X might get cut as a result relating to budget or time, or Feature Y might be replaced with Feature U in response to fan criticism as an example.
A gaming magazine might quote a dev(developer) talking about a  feature now. Three months later a follow up question from a another magazine might reveal how they've had to cut said feature. Another thing is the possibility is that not everyone might read this thread regularly. A fan may believe a feature since "confirmed" in this thread will happen and then goes off on a media blackout. Come ME3 launch and fan becomes...lets say disappointed at the absence of the feature or even a change that the fan may not like. He then rages on the forums and other outlets about Bioware/EA/marketing.

Not that I dont approve of this thread (great work everyone!!!) reading all of it gets me so pumped up for ME3. It's just that it is good to remember Chris' post from time to time

Edit: Wow ninja'd by pretty much everyone else lol! I need to type faster

I made this signature for Chewin3, if anyone else wants to use it, feel free.

It seems that the code you put in for the pictures is not working. All I see is the URLs with the codes around them. The banners did update though..

[Phaedon]

It seems to be working for everyone else.

From what I see, this is the url to the image that doesn't show up: http://s1226.photobu...urrent=Shep.jpg

EDIT: Also, it may take some time for the forum to update them.

Sweet, just make sure your banners link to the OP otherwise they're just pretty decorations

This thred isn't stickied any more because, after 200+ pages, not all teh[sic] info contained as "confirmed" is actually correct. There will be LOTS of actual confirmations coming out of E3 next week.

There will be Mass Effect 3 forums as well eventually.

A thread of 200+ pages has some imperfections, therefore only official sources are to be believed?

Thanks for the smaller one Phaedon.

[roflchoppaz]

Shiny. Now any moron would notice this thread before creating a new one.
