Howdy everyone.

I've been given an early Christmas present in the form of an amazingly talented person to help as part of Community here at BioWare. I want you all to meet Victor Wachter.

Victor joins the Community team in the role of Community Facilitator. This means he is going to help take all of the information you supply us (feedback both positive and negative, comments, concerns, suggestions, etc) and help make sure they reach the Dev team. He is also going to work with the Dev team to get information they need (specific questions the team may have or feedback they require) as well as helping present information from them to you.

He comes to us with a vast amount of experience working with or leading Community teams for some of the biggest video game companies around. He has a lot of cool new ideas to help improve communication and information exchange around here and will work with me, the Dev team and volunteer moderators to make sure what is said reaches the ears of those who want or need to hear it.

Over the next few weeks you'll be seeing some changes (all for the better) to the forums here as we work to improve your experience with Dragon Age and the Social site. I will let Victor speak for himself and he'll explain more about what he'll be doing here and some of the changes you'll be seeing soon.

So please wellcome Victor. Treat him AT LEAST as well as you treat me, for liek me, he wields the mighty banhammer of justice. Sure, he may not be as kind and nice as you all know me to be (stop laughing), but he's a pretty good guy.

Say hello VIctor. :)

Hi all,

Thanks for the welcome from Chris, as well as those who have beat me to posting :)

I'm really excited to be here and have the opportunity to work with you. Dragon Age: Origins was already the topic of half my friends' posts on Facebook, so when I started talking with Bioware about helping out I knew it was something I had to be part of.

Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be working to help improve the Dragon Age community experience, on the forums, on the social network and beyond. The general plan is to make the communication between you and us here at Bioware better, and I will be looking at every tool we have available to do that. That means improved communication to you. It means highlighting the work that mod makers do. It means delivery of feedback to and from the dev team to make future content releases the best that they can be.

Over the next couple of weeks, we'll start with the forums, improving the categories so that information is easier to find. Once we have the basics in place, I hope that you'll find the social site and forums a lot more useful as we begin using them for more regular communication and feedback gathering. I can't put a timeframe on this just yet, as the holidays make everyone's schedule a little whacky, so I'll fall back to the traditional "soon."

So, please take a minute to say hello. Hopefully, this will be a great adventure for all of us :)

(and, yes, exorzist, that's me. I've been there and a number of other places too :ph34r: )

Though don't be too scientific about forum feedback. It is not always accurate.

I rarely talk about what I most love about Dragon Age. And often whinge about trivial things I won't care about later.

If I am able to navigate around the community mod work and downloads as easily as I did on hte NWN/bioware site that would be terrific instead of having to look all over the net to find peoples work it sure would be nice to just click on downloads then modules or add ons or community content and have it all categorized.

Bah! You have it too easy Victor now that the game has been out for a couple months and the furor of discontent is settled down. Coupled with the fact that you are in the butter zone of good tide feeling, you will have nothing but ye old gushy accolades.



This thread needz moar welcoming.

A good place to start Viktor is simply to acknowledge some of the serious problems that have been mentioned here, like the memory leak. The sane posters, of which there are a few, don't expect Bioware to fix everything immediately. It would grant many peace of mind, however, to know officially that Bioware is aware of these issues and trying to do something about them.

Welcome Victor!



And I don't think he has it too easy. There are 7366 posts in the PC tech support forum he needs to find a way to better organize. Good Luck Victor! (Wait! Wait! Don't run away we made you cake!)

Chris's EVIL heart was hardened long time ago...



I knew he was a lost cause when he came out right in the middle of the most intense speculation about DAO last December and announced to all the forumites that he had just finished playing the game...



Opportunities to torment forumites like that don't arise very often, but when it did, evil Chris took advantage....

Improving communication?

Ignoring that I don't believe communication is a thing, I suppose that's a laudable goal - assuming that is your goal.

I'm sure I'll warm up to you. Give me a year or two...
