what happened that pissed people off so much?

Apparently the chat was useless and didn't answer the though questions even ones that had nothing to do with Mass Effect 3.

And you have to love the people that are bellyaching about no ME3 info even though the whole webcast started with an explicit statement that no ME3 questions were going to be answered, nor was the game going to be discussed.  But, whatever...paying attention is for LOSERS.

Actually it didn't say that "NO ME3 questions are going to be answered"... it said that "most" questions can't be answered due to lack of details, that doesn't mean NO QUESTIONS. I guess paying attention is for LOSERS after all.

Just watching the webcast that BW put up now, and hate to be devils advocate but... I liked it.

The spiel at the start about Arrival was enough to satisfy my curiousity, and the Q&A afterwards was insightful, sure there was a dozen questions I would've loved to have asked and have answered, but after all the work Mac put in, why not give him an interview with his own thoughts and experiences? It was effectively a commentary [like that of a dvd] rather than a Q&A though.

Sympathy to those that are miffed about not having their questions answered, but take it as what it is, not what you were hoping it would be. :happy:

I thought it was a pretty good chat.
From the beginning I understood it was going to be a chat about the writing for the ME universe.
Therefore I asked a relevant question, which was the very last one about how they manage a storyline that branches of in so many ways.
I was happy with his answer about how they are aware of the fav characters so do their best to balance it all.

To whoever is saying "They made the questions up themselves" --- don't be silly. They obviously looked at all the submitions and picked appropiate ones to post for them to talk about.

[Omega_Spectre]

Wow. I tried to get off of work early so I could see this, but apparently, from everything I've read in this thread sums up the live chat to a bunch of epic nothingness. I was expecting to hear great things about what I missed. Guess I was wrong.

[soren145]

I'm definitely excited for this but from what I've read and seen Shepard isn't aloud to bring his teammates and instead has to go solo because the information is sensitive? Give me a break. The Bioware writers are high if they think Shepard isn't going tell his teammates everything anyway. I have no doubt the DLC will be fantastic but this is a bad design choice.

I really liked the chat because I only expected a behind-the-scenes discussion (and find myself in Mac's-third-year-at-college-can't-figure-out-a-career-scenario he talked about).

I wasn't expecting spoilers or new ME3 info; people need to be patient. Arrival is coming next week and there are many games to be anxious over before ME3.

Really glad Mac said BioWare is aware of what fans want in making characters still matter.

[Apple Sauce]

There was nothing wrong with the answers. The problem, my problem with the chat, was two things: EA's choice of questions, and the shortness of the session which was only about 20 minutes. Naturally this didn't allow for a lot of thoughtful questions. I noticed about 1300 people in the chat, and they had selected questions as brainless as "What's a day in the office like?" and "Who's your favorite character?" I refuse to believe out of 1300 people that those were the best questions EA could have selected.

Really liked watching the chat and hearing Mac talk about the ME universe.

Not a lot of new information, but still interesting imo.

[Tony_Knightcrawler]

Thanks for the interview. And what do you know, it stopped exactly when I needed to leave for work.

It was blindingly obvious that they were picking the most personal and generic questions that were as far away from the actual game as possible.

Yeah, the who was choosing the question was probably........ I hoped I wil hear something more abou DLC Arrival, I also asked 2 times and nothing. And I dont believe I was the only one asking about Arrival...But no, the choosed the most worst questions I think. Soem of them was OK, but like I saw Mac also didnt like them much

[hawat333]

It was absolutely okay.
Well, about a 3 hour long DLC, we can't hear more without spoiling it.
ME 3 is still in development, I mean the very basics are being lied down as we talk, so I didn't expect any groundshaking information about the game.
As I have a fairly similar profession, it was interesting and intriguing to hear Mac talking about his connection to the ME 'verse. 'twas a good interview, thanks.

[roflchoppaz]

No questions about the retcons in Evolution? I am disappoint.

[atheelogos]

damn I missed the live session! I can't believe I forgot the date.

[johannes1212]

Why does the female have this constant giddy, come hither look to Mac throughout the whole vid?

[johannes1212]

Also what happened to asking and answering plot related questions, or more accurately why the plot looked like Swiss cheese.

That's your opinion, I for one am stoked about a solo mission.

If I have to choose between the miming teammates of Overlord or a solo mission, I'd go with a solo mission. Of course, I'd prefer even the "we'll use an AI bark as an interjection" approach LotSB had, over those, or, heaven forbid, actual new NPC dialogue (as in, say, the otherwise much-maligned Return to Ostagar).

Still, not a deal-breaker for me, and am quite looking forward to Arrival.

And ME3.

Look Bioware, I get that you don't want to create false expectations in your fans, since they whine about every little thing these days, but if you're going to do ANY sort of interaction between people who work on the games and the fans, either throw the fans a few bones or don't bother doing it. All this did was ****** people off since none of their questions showed up and the few questions that were answered weren't worth having a live chat.

This! ^

While the interview was interesting enough, it was NOT worth having a live chat about, they could have just aswell made a normal interview. 

We finally got a chance to hear Mac's viewpoint on Mass effect and perhaps hear him answer and explain several decisions regarding ME2's (or just ME in general) story. Instead we got some pretty unoriginal questions. What a waste of time.

[Fiery Phoenix]

I'd like to voice my agreement with Kregano as well. Well said, sir.

It was obvious that this whole thing was just a "meet the writer". The questions were lame. I personally believe it was a waste of time.

[Fiery Phoenix]

It was more like a personal interview with Mac; not really an interview for the audience. I still enjoyed it regardless, but I thought we'd hear more.

[Tonymac]

I thought that we would hear SOMETHING gamewise. This interview had nothing to do with the game. Silly questions like how did you get your job and all are lame.

Tell me about the game. Or the story. Or where you came up with the story. How you came up with the story or the characters.... something. Don't sit there like anyone really cares how you got your job or what you did in college. Mostly what I got out of this was lil bald guy has an ego. Thats ok, he makes more than I do and he is entitled. But don't invite me to a webcast if it won't have jacko to do with the game.
