they are not required to tell you just because you demand to know. the fact that they chose to stop rto at the last minute should tell you it's pretty serious. this sense of entitlement people have is astounding.

Not more astounding than other people's disapproval of said sense of entitlement. Just a difference of opinion.

Ok everyone...one thing we need to understand is that technology is not perfect. Just look at your own computer and you know this for a fact. While I believe everyone had the right to be upset that it was almost impossible to find out any info on what was going on, (which WAS out there, and I was able to see it after talking to one of the moderators), Bioware did tell us what we wanted to know now. They are still having problems and it will take more time than they expected to take care of it. It sucks for us, it sucks for them. We don't get the DLC right now, they don't get the huge chunk of added income they were expecting. But they have told us what we needed to know.

My wife is top of her class going to the Art Institute of Philadelphia, and is 2 years into her 4 year degree for Game Art and Design. She is basically doing what the people at Bioware are doing, and I know first hand from watching her that one little mistake that you didn't even know was a mistake can do massive damage to your program, and it take a long time to fix everything. And it is frustrating as hell. As players, we can be angry about not getting out DLC on time yet again, but at this point we need to just back off a bit and give the devs some breathing room. They are doing what they can for us.

I do feel bad for those that pre-paid for the DLC. Perhaps Bioware will allow a refund to those who want one, giving good faith that once it is finally out the people will come back and get it. Most people probably won't want a $5.00 refund, but when you are expecting to play something and now are unable to for a good amount of time, the refund could go to adding content to another game they have so no one feels they got the short end of the stick. Just an idea to the devs at Bioware.

Other than that, let's just all chill out. They devs have given us what we asked for to the best of their ability, we need to give them the space they need to get things back on track. There is no use in flogging a dead horse.

I think that's an excellent idea. I prepaid as well, but I'm just going to sit on the points until RtO is released. But I do agree that anyone that wants a refund should be able to get it.


Laksa: stop with the giant nested quotes. Last warning.

Are the Dragon age servers down because of this? Or is it just me? I can't load my game =/

I've seen other people state something similar, and I have to say I find it odd.

Speaking solely for myself, this is the first Bioware game I've ever played and this whole RtO fiasco is giving an absolutely horrid first impression. DAO is awesome, but it seems releasing this single 1-hour (allegedly) DLC is just disaster piled upon disaster. It's been nothing but bad news since they announced it when there's any news at all, and mostly there's just no news.

This is all I personally know of the company: they made a great game, decent DLC's at launch, can't answer questions in threads they start for us to ask questions even if it's just a simple "I can't answer that because it's too spoilerific" or "I don't know the answer to that", and that a 1-hour DLC is beyond their abilities to finish and release given the two delays and muliple "issues" (which could mean anything). Overall, it leaves a very sour taste in my mouth and a very poor impression of the company. The game itself is great, if extremely buggy, but everything else honestly is just not what I would expect from a professional business.

Yes, they told us RtO would be delayed yet again. But then waited till the next day to say there was an "issue". What "issue" exactly is it? Game-breaking bug that was somehow missed until the day before release? Server melt-down? Someone accidently wipe the whole program? An "issue" can be many things, and a little bit of specificity would go a long way to fix the awful first impression they're making with me and I'm sure many others. Though I'm sure they have a strong enough fan base that they really don't care if they make a bad impression on first time customers, it won't do much to increase their fan base if things continue the way they've been going.

Some people don't care why it's delayed, and that's their prerogative. I do. If it's a bug or a server melt-down, it can be fixed presumably. If someone wiped the whole thing accidentally, it can't. Wanting the reason for the delay basically boils down to can you fix it or not, and if you can fix it is it an easy fix or something that's going to take months to straighten out. Not an unreasonable question by any stretch of the imagination.

My .02 for what it's worth.

Agree stay on topic people

It's silly to assume that it's "just a little 1 hour DLC, can things have gone so horribly wrong?". Of course it could have. Say you are making a pyramid, and add something new on top. It doesn't fit, or causes your pyramid to be structurally compromised, at that point all you can do is troubleshoot what's wrong with your pyramid. It could be a problem at the bottom, or the middle, or the top. What I'm saying is that people seem to take the scale of a DLC as tiny and problems equally as tiny, when in reality it could be much larger than the words DLC seem to mean to most people.



Just ask for a refund, don't buy it, or wait til it's done and then decide. And for the love of Ferelden calm down, the exact reason you are mad (it's just a little DLC) is the exact reason you shouldn't BE mad about delays. Just a minor addition to the game right? Take it easy folks.

We should start a pool and take bets and how long Awakening is going to be delayed. March 16 my ass.

You are an asymptotal curve approaching total blandness. Your posts are derivative and cliche-ridden .

[Trajan60]

I'm in a charitable mood so I'll predict Awakening will only be delayed until late April.

[TheGreenLion]

Trajan, I understand that you are miffed...but you need to stop being childish. Your posts are also not on-topic and this thread has been warned about that. You deserve the almighty ban hammer.

[VanDraegon]

I predict that if Trajan keeps on the posting path he has been following he will be taking a bit of a break from us.

That actually made snese, unlike your other posts flaming bioware for things that are impossible to change. Or when you were spouting random internet memes.

Predicting a delay in an ambitious expansion in terms of scope is not at all childish. I am a realist. I hope for the best and expect the worst.

Yep I agree everyone needs to stay on topic. I myself am tired of having good discussion threads about this topic closed because of this issue. If you don't have anything new and good to contribute to the topic at this time just read it and Iam.
