1 million likes/shares on facebook?

You guys are completely insane. You'll be lucky to get 100,000.

Too true. The day is almost done and there's erm... 37xx likes... not even 5000. BioWare is awesome, but eh - please realize that your fanbase obviously either is not on facebook, or is really done with the overload of free DLC for marketing help.

I love to help out, even a big one like BioWare, but as many said before me: it's getting too much. Good luck on reaching 10.000 likes on all upcoming posts on facebook combined.

This whole second contest just has a feeling of being rushed and poorly planned. It relies on a certain amount of page views each day and for each post to be shared. Sharing seems arbitrary since you don't have to share for impressions, and does one person need to share? All? It is just very ambiguous.

Bioware is providing conflicting information on what exactly needs to be done to earn the item in this promotion. The facebook page seems to indicate fifty thousand shares are needed where as this post and the demo page indicate one million impressions are needed. There is a huge difference between shares and impressions.

This doesn't even begin to factor in the fact that the promotion is given such short notice while requiring daily requirements for each day in order to be unlocked. What if the last day only 900,000 impressions (or 40,000 shares) happen. According to the promotion every one would be screwed. Either way it doesn't seem to accomplish what bioware seems to want, mobilization of fans to provide free marketing for the game.

If the promotion fails, people will point out the conflicting things needed to win it and it turns bad for bioware. If it doesn't fail and it was based on impressions, it was likely just scripted by someone to inflate the true count. If it doesn't fail and 50,000 people actually shared it each day then that is impressive.

The other problem is, what is each day to bioware? Is it midnight to midnight? Post time to midnight? Post time to Next post time? An unrelated time to an unrelated time? That is important info that is failed to be disclosed for a promotion the requires a certain count for each day.

It all just feels like you'll unlock it no matter what but just want to see what you can get us to do.

Facebook is a completely different beast to downloading demos. I bet a nug sandwich it can be hit before the 4th.

It can't be hit before the 4th because it needs One Million impressions each day of the promotion.  That would be a total of 5 million, with 1 million the 28th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The facebook page however states 50,000 shares each day, which is a number that is more reasonable. You can also share something multiple times and it shows up each time in your profile.

Likes are not shares. You can share something without liking it on facebook. You don't have to take my word for it, click the share button and you will still have to click the like button to like the post. Besides if it was based on likes alone we would already have failed. The 28th is over and my facebook page is reporting "You and 3,407 others like this."

Also this post and the demo page only state a number required for impressions. Not for shares. Either way it is a stupid goal though.

[Trikun]

This just feels like a bad idea, not well executed, and is seemingly not in accordance with the facebook guidelines for promotions...  Bah.. I'll just go play the demo again.

[Eliim]

bioware is lucky most of their fans are lore nerds and will continue to do free advertising. Kudos to the marketing department but im not in for this.

[Gvaz]

Not really participating.

[Finiffa]

Don't have facebook and this will not sway me to join facebook, so sorry, won't be participating.

Nice to hear the demo made it, though I wonder how it just jumped from 800k to a million in a couple of days!

The Facebook thing is a bit... Eehh... I posted mine to annoy my friends, but this is getting a bit crazy!

[Vicious]

I utterly despise facebook and everything it represents.

Sorry guys.

More importantly, we don't need 1 million shares. All we need is 1 million impressions.

AN IMPRESSION is every time that post is loaded in a page (the official DA2 FB page, your own personal feed, a friend's profile, WHATEVER) which is about 100 times easier to achieve than a million likes/shares/whatever. 'Cause we can beat this just by pushing refresh buttons on browsers. Hell, I think I'm setting up a keyboard macro to run while I'm asleep tonight.

[DanteCousland]

I think they didnt reach 1 million. They just said they did.

[indio]

This smacks of hubris...an ugly, delusional sense of entitlement.

Facebook? You forget yourself, BioWare.

[2484Stryker]

Srsly, I'm sick of hearing facebook. It's FB this in movies, FB that on TV, and now FB in games. Enough is enough, we all know about FB, let's move on to something else.

[LilyasAvalon]

...How'd we get it to 1,000,000 in 7 hours? It was barely above 867K when I checked this morning.

[LilyasAvalon]

Also, sorry BioWare, I HATE facebook. Regardless if you have Dragon Age Legends on it.

[Annjul666]

oh comon! i hate FB, dont go commercial, not everyone has accounts there!

[LPPrince]

I don't think Bioware anticipated how many people on these boards either don't have a facebook or don't like facebook.

I have one and I am taking part in this, but it seems a TON of the people here, at least those who are posting, are not.

Well, that sucks.

[ErebUs890]

But... I don't use Facebook! D:

The counter was missing some numbers I think. I'm not 100% sure but I think it was only counting PC demo downloads.
