why are we getting this instead of long, insightfull and amusing articles again?

[DWH1982]

I'll admit, I was a bit discouraged when I realized that the tweets are all we're going to get.

That said, we do have the once a week ANN news updates on the Bioware Blog. Hopefully they'll continue doing those, as they have a little more meat than the tweets. They're even longer than the original CDN stories.

I also think we should look at it this way: Would you rather have Bioware focused on writing fake news stories, or doing what they need to do with ME3?

In a way, I honestly can't say I blame them. I wrote a LOT of stories for the CDN fan site over the past year. It's a real challange to come up with enough stories to fill every day, and it's even tougher for Bioware since anything they write is cannon and expected to be high quality. I have a lot of respect for their efforts with writing Mass Effect news, and, really, I'm willing to take whatever we can get.

subsider34, that seems to be true. :-P It's a bit anal, but if they're going to be that way with us, why can't we be anal back?

frylock23, I agree. Twitter is a garbage website. A child could make it easier to navigate! So why would I sign up for it? And why do I have to sign up for it to see such short messages? They literally only have to transmit a few bytes of information per page. Not gigabytes, or megabytes, or kilobytes. Bytes. Less than one kilobyte. Maybe 1 kilobyte with formatting.

Chris, can you guys post up the news updates we missed, please?

We are 2 weeks from the launch of Mass Effect 3 and this marks the return of the Alliance News Network updates. Starting today you will see the new updates when you play Mass Effect 2. Also now, you can get the Alliance News Network updates through Twitter at https://twitter.com/...llianceNewsNet

Make sure you check the feeds regularly to get your updates from the Alliance News Network.

But when Mass Effect 3 is finally released; will we get Daily News uploads, like we use to on the Cerberus Daily News?

[Tony_Knightcrawler]

I'm gonna say that storyline-wise, it probably wouldn't make sense to do a daily news for ME3. I mean let's say that you finished the game. It wouldn't make sense for reports of the Reaper invasion of Palaven to come to your account. And it wouldn't make sense for them to continue business as usual during a galactic war.

Odd thing aobut the ANN in ME2: they're put up one day at a time (I guess when they come in to work). Right now, I have absolutely no message related to the CNN/ANN; only four related to DLC.

[AdrynBliss]

CNN....only just got the connotation prob coz i'm a brit but nevertheless /amused

[Vlammenzee]

started a new playthrough 1+2(dlc) last week,just out of boredness .even tho i've finished the game(s) like 10times already.ill keep an eye on the cerberus network!

You don't have to sign up for twitter to read the messages. Just follow the link posted on the first page of this thread. You should be able to read the ANN tweets regardless of whether you have an account or not.

Or, if you really do dislike Twitter that much, you could routinely check one of the sites that reposts them.

At the Cerberus Daily News fan site, we have started reposting the tweets, and we will continue reposting the Bioware Blog updates, for the role playing purposes of our community.  The Mass Effect Wiki has also decided to repost the ANN tweets. So, you have two good options right there.

Yeah just logged in again and the message is gone. Many problems with the old CDN system me thinks.

[monkspider]

Yep, it is gone again for me too. Hopefully it comes back soon, i was looking forward to a new update today. The last one was something about a ship crash-landing on Garvug carrying a Prothean artifact. The Garvug series of updates were some of my favorites on the Ceberus News Network last time. Hopefully this update indicates that we can help drive the corporate scum off the planet in a Mass Effect 3 side mission.

No, you can't. I know because I tried. If I hadn't tried, I wouldn't have said those specific words. :-P And again, no those specific updates haven't been reposted on any of the usual sites (at least when I last checked, yesterday). That is probably they were only headlines, not articles.

Huh. That's odd.

When I click on the twitter link, it does take me to a sign up page at first. But if I just wait, it automatically sends me to a page where I can see the tweets.

They're up now.

I personally posted the updates to the Cerberus Daily News front page. Go to the site and check on the second most recent article. Heck, I'll even throw in a link to the article. I know for a fact that they're up at the Mass Effect wiki, because that's where I copied them from.

What you see there is excatly what's posted on the ANN Twitter feed. And, in case you are confused, this is the new format for ANN/CDN news updates. Bioware confirmed this fact with the new administrator at the Cerberus Daily News fansite. And the Garvug story, as posted on Twitter, is excactly what showed up when people started up ME2 on Friday.

If you want meater in universe news updates, you still have the weekly Bioware Blog ANN articles, at least.

Looks like there was no report for Saturday, not even on Twitter. Come to think of it, there wasn't one for Thursday either.

DWH, as far as Twitter goes, even if I wait it stays on the sign up/login page. Nothing can be done there I guess. But thanks for putting up the short headlines from the last few days. You might want to link them to their appropriate days, or else getting to those might be hard once it falls off the front page. Thanks for putting work into that site.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Though lately I haven't been doing much except copying what Bioware posts.

Not sure why the heck you can't get to twitter, but I'm going to try my best to update the fan site in a timely fashion. So, keep checking there.

The new administrator is exploring some ideas for changing the front page, and sometime after ME3 is released, likely a month or so, we will also begin posting fan updates again. For the time being, we will just focus on the Bioware official updates.

[monkspider]

Hopefully this will all get cleared up on Monday.

[Commdor]

There's already a report posted for tomorrow in ME2. None for today, but as soon as change your date to Feb. 27, there's the report. It looks like we only get reports on weekdays, and even then only sporadically.

[double02]

Cool, I never really payed much attention to Cerberus news, but Alliance news, okay.

I just knew the Batarians would be the first to go!

[SpEcIaLRyAn]

Just think, Tuesday next week we won't have to worry about whether or not the ANN is working on ME2 cause we will all be playing ME3. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[Jimez]

Friday for us UK fans, can't wait.

Can I hope for a update on more ME1 choices in the PS3 versionof ME2 aside the comic??

That's not the nature of Cerberus Daily News or the Alliance News Network.

So, off topic, I think you're stuck with what you have for making choices from ME1. My advice, buy the game for your PC.

I own it for PC and ME 2 its just I don't like how I have to "have" origins to play ME 3 on PC but o well so looking forward to the game on PS3!
