Hi Everyone

Soon you will start to see some people here on the BioWare Social Network with new GamrRank information displayed on their profiles. GamrRank is a website that works to promote the games that you play and what you post about them on your social media accounts. Once you hook up your account, your activity in-game and on social channels, you get a ranking and a feed that you can compare to your friends. You build your “Rank” in their system by what you play and what you say. Services like Xbox Live, Steam, The PlayStation Network, Facebook, Twitter, the BioWare Social Network and others will all help create your GamrRank.

Currently their website is in beta testing, but they are looking for interested people to help them test their system. If you’re the type of person who likes to play video games and then tell others your thoughts about them, maybe you should check out GamrRank.

Can I link my profile now?

Is it optional? I hope it's optional.

I feel like this was invented by the same guy who decided it'd be a brilliant idea to have an option to let Facebook and Twitter know you just ordered pizza from Dominos.

[thats1evildude]

But I have no friends.

I think it it is optional? At least I hope so. I have no interest in knowing what my GamrRank is or what my friends rank are. Sorry, but this I just how I feel about this.

I'm still waiting for the option to upload our own avatars.

[Wolfspawn]

Set up an account on there, because, why the hell not? Also, I've gotta ask you Chris, why the DA3 forums?

Honestly?

Ok, so recently Ray & Greg retired. We knew this would cause some people to think that BioWare was going to collapse, die, end whatever you want to call it. Initially we were not planning on discussing DA3 until next year, but to combat the rumors that we'd die off without Ray & Greg, we announced officially that DA3 was in the works (along with a new Mass Effect title and a new IP in development).

Since we announced it, we figured some fans would want to discuss it, so we opened a DA3 forum. We could have just let people talk in DA2 forums, but it is a different game, so we opened this to let you talk about DA3.

Simple really.

Honesty is awesome. Thanks for being awesome.

I could be wrong but I believe what bob_20000 meant was, why post this in the DA3 forums? My answer is that it's probably posted everywhere for people to see. Like I said, could be wrong though.

Am I going to end up inadvertently spamming my grandmother with invites to play Blops2?

[syllogi]

No offense, but what is the benefit to the user, other than an arbitrary and meaningless rank on their site? I am not really thrilled by the idea of giving my info for the purpose of data mining without some other carrot (see: Origin). Not just being snarky, but if it's being advertised here, I'm curious as to what it's all about.

Your profile pic has made me ridiculously hungry damn it .


On topic: I can see it now, the future of BSN arguments consisting of 'You don't even have a high gamer rank! what do you know?!?'

Discrimination down to GamrRank. That'll be something new on the BSN.

Wait, a new IP? Where's the forum for this new IP? I want to talk about something I know even less about than the nothing I know about DA3.

He could mean C&C since its new to BIoWare or just slipped up.

Look at how long it was since the Expo, the cancelled expansion "That they stopped to focus on this new thing" , and the talk aboutnew companion armor customazation that we got an actual DA3 forum.

I think CP let something slip and its best to let it go.

Two of my pet peeves are social media, ranking systems, and leaving vowels out of words to make them 'cooler.'

I also despise correct math.

Sure is lol. Having some form of ranking in itself brings a divisive element to the forum, though that comment was rather tongue in cheek. On a serious note I can't see the benefit of turning a forum into its own game where you get to level your rank. They've had that on Bethesda forums for a while (although based on number of posts) and it doesn't add anything to the forum. Though I'm guessing it will be optional on here which is fair enough.

There was an official statement made about a new Mass effect game and a new IP.
