I think it boils down to that people had a lot of faith that Bioware would pull out something really great for today. When the demo rumors got out so close to the release date our, somewhat misplaced faith, helped us draw the not totally unreasonable conclusion that Bioware had managed to pull off something  awesome (possibly by pressing buttons)

I've defended the Facebook game elsewhere. It is a decent time waster that has potential but I seriously doubt the majority would've have preferred it entering closed beta to a demo. Not that we ever had a choice in the matter.

Some Marilyn Manson for Dragon Age Marketing Team! Keep up the good work like today people!



This is the new sh*t!!!

Today is a big disappointment for a lot of people who hoped that Bioware would release something related to DA2 and it would be awesome.


Now I'm disappointed that my initial response to the announcement wasn't "this is the new ****, stand up and admit it".

Jesus christ, I'm upset too but you guys need to calm down. It's not like they stole your firstborn.

Oh, if you do more noise, then perhaps they will apologise. Their marketing may not be the best, but my goodness, do they have a spoiled playerbase.

I agree with this, but it wouldn't have hurt to at least let people know if the banner was an error or at least fill us in.

Both parties are at fault IMO.

I have to concur with Dave here. Plus, the game is out in less than a month anyways.

People should write fan fiction instead to get hyped up. I've started a thread.

It tickles me that people have the nerve to think that they are entitled to an apology from Bioware because of something so trivial.

This is some major crap! WTF! A facebook game that I've already played!? I don't think this date should have been put into DO:A. Is it really that big of an announcement? I feel betrayed. I'm so disapointed Bioware.

There is no denying that Bioware (with the help of EA) messed up BIG TIME!

I deny it.

They disappointed for sure with the Awakening card.

A picture of a dragon with a date on it.  That disappoints you?  It was a vague hint.

One would assume it was hinting toward something significant. Or at least pleasing. Why else package it with the game?

A card like that sets up big expectations, but apparently you don't get that and act like we had no reason to believe something decent was going to happen today.

It's not the end of the world, though. The game releases in a month.

It's one of those internet laws. Everything must be blown 1000 times out of proportion.

Not only something so trivial, but something that BioWare had nothing to do with! The newsletters came from EA.

I have no words. Part of me think that you all have a point, the other, rational part, think that you all need to get laid. Lots of time.

One could assume that, but like all assumptions it would simply be your own invention.

Well it might not have came out today, but it doesn't mean that a demo won't come out later this week or if at all.

If there really isn't a demo then we can all look forward to playing the whole game 39 days from now. . . .

*still have to admit I'm upset though*

Well, Ill be playing it in 35 days when it is released.;)

We have revealed today's announcement as the Dragon Age Legends beta test.



:devil:

Wait. Today's announcement was an announcement that was made last week on Facebook?


Yes. Does this make you happy? No? Of course not!

Okay someone has to help me sort this out.



Awakening comes with that 2/1/11 card.



Nothing was said about it except "we have something planned on that date". Was it?



I know there was speculation about what that might be- demo, release, magic ponies....But I don't remember anything being said- correct me if I am wrong.



Now everyone is upset, and getting banned and ranting. And those scratching their head asking "what just happened" are "fanbois".



I am so confused.

While I agree that people are overreacting, I think that an apology would be appropriate.  Bioware hinted that something big was going to happen today more than once.  And in the end, they just announced old news.  So yeah, I think that there was enough of a genuine letdown to merit an apology for that.

But then, I'm an apologetic person.Posted Image

So, the Awakening card was an announcement to hype us up for an announcement of something announced several weeks ago, for a product already available.



I am so psyched.

Lets be perfectly fair that was an obvious screwup, even if a demo had been released today.

They said they had a few tricks up their sleeves for today but all we got was an announcement of a flash game beta going into more beta and ME2 getting an alternate appearance pack next week.
