The dev team is hard at work on upcoming patches. We will get you information as soon as we can, but in efforts to ensure we are providing you a complete and accurate picture, we are refraining from commenting on what's being patched until that information is finalized.
I'm sorry for the delay, but trust that we are working on it and have been following your concerns closely.

Thanks Conal!!! I know you guys will get back to us when you have an answer. I appreciate all your hard work. :)

yeah trust is earned not handed out freely

i may believe that bioware is working on fixing the issues but i don't trust they will actually deliver on what they say

the only way i actually trust what is said is if there is solid proof to back it up, for now i just see it as an elabate lie to keep stringing people along

Nice to see Bioware finally acknowledging things...

 

By the way we didn't ask for a complete picture of what's being worked out, just to give us a sign you actually are at work on somethings from our feedback. 

 

Still sad it took a week to redact simple PR though =(

There's always something, isn't there? BioWare has created a universe in Dragon Age that so many of us love, which is why so many of you are pissed right now. I bought a new graphics card for my PC just for this game, so I spent about $200 for DA:I standard edition. Worth every penny. The cut scenes aren't there to hide poor development, they're there to tell the story. And then people are pissed they aren't getting patches out quickly enough? Don't you want the patches to get it right the first time? This whole thread consists of people being pissed at BioWare after they said they're gonna FIX IT! What is wrong with you people? Go make a game of this scale and depth, and we'll ream you because you can't click to loot....

the meaning of fixing, begins with the assumption that something is broken

its kind of alarming how many people haven't dealt with the fact that for Bioware, there is nothing broken, hence no need to fix anything

 

All these problems we are pointing here are not bugs, are by design; and yes, design can be tweaked but software developers brains cannot(i really know); i'm sure they have a "million" reasons why it HAS to be the way they did it

 

again guys, this is your game; either play it like it is(i almost guarantee you DA4 will have no companions) or simply move on(if you moving on, remember your refund its almost a week now)

 

as for myself, i'm on the Witcher 3 train already....

Well no - it's broken. And we do expect a fix. The sales are not comming since people that pre-ordered like myslef warned all their friends not to buy it, and they warned all their friends etc....Also if you go and check review scores you will see screeming difference between 9/10 reviews got it and 5/10 Gamers give after they played it. THey can and should patch/fix if they expect some ravenue.

 

 The sad thing is DA has aways have more PC following than consoles, so what they did here is just beyond understanding - allienating your already existing bigger clientbase, just to try grab some more from consoles......At the moment the sales of DA:I are on part with DA2, which is very bad for BIoware ......

Would be a better game if they stopped leading us around by the noses and got rid of 50% of the cutscenes.     But that won't happen.   Whatever happened to roleplay...you know that word that denotes this genre of gaming?    Now everyone needs to have their hands held...god forbid you would want to have a look around before being surgically joined to a team....that you don't even get a chance to know before you are rushed up the road to go kill demons.    What kind of game play is this.    Are gamers these days so helpless they need the handholding right from minute one?       

 

Pretty graphics yes, but it almost gives me the idea that the cutscenes are there in abundant amounts...to hide what they don't know how to do with the game programming.      My personal opinion only.    And lastly of course,  my machine is perfectly capable of playing this game...didn't crash during the hour or two I was ingame.    But in order to enter the game,   I have to stand on my head,  recite verses in Latin...etc for it to let me in ( just kidding...what worked one day for play didn't work the next day for play.   Unintuitive and frustrating to say the least) 

 

Nooooo don't get rid of my cutscenes! I play for the story, not the combat, the cutscenes and dialogue choices are the entire reason I play this game!

Why the hell doesn't the tactical camera have a tilt control option? Are you serious??

It makes no sense why we can't control the angle/tilt of it manually when we zoom out with it. This thing is disgustingly amateur in design. FIX IT.

If you cannot fix this appalling design, then offer people who want a refund their money back. Sadly my 24 hours is already up, so if you cannot fix the basic functionality of this tactical camera then I would like my money back. I don't want to play something designed for a effing controller and the only reason I bought this game is for the dragon age origins experience because you brought back the tactical camera. If I'd have known the tactical camera was merely a slapped on afterthought, I would not have bought this.


Fix the tactical camera, or give me my money back.

In that case, I'll stick to my guns and wait until it's fixed before purchasing. No matter how long it takes... I'll wait.

Well they would have loss in PC community sure, but this is worse - they are loosing all the trust they had worked so hard to get with us. This will reflect hard on their next title and unless they don't REALLY make it primary for PC adn put consoles behind them, I fear Bioware as company will be finished.... It's fine if you want to try something new, but never lie to the community that made you what you are now and never ever make them feel like second class, especially as they hold more game sales than all the consoles+mobile phone games combined...

 

Agreed, but then you have to think, by the time the next major title is announced, and throughout it's production, most of the personnel will have changed again.  And that is a likely scenario for both programmers and PR staff as well.

completly agree with this ! DA was originally made for PC and was a true success since it was a good successor to Baldur's Gate series (even if there were already signs that they were gonna go the console way eventually) !

 

The backfire on DA 2 was EA fault, wanting to capitalize on the success of DA:O, they made BW rush a sequel with more action and console features than it should have had. Results was a poor game, with poor gameplay and story and reuse of multiple same maps over and over again. I barely had the will to finish it without puking ! They had already nerfed healing ability to the ground, crafting was non existent for the most part, and well abilities cooldowns were so high that combat felt just like auto attacks.

 

For DA:I, they said they wanted to focus on their PC player base, without forgeting about the small amount of console players they had won over the years. But all this was a big fat lie some of us seen coming for miles, while others like myself wanted to trust that Bioware would come to their senses and reintroduce tactical camera from DA:O, with more PC friendly UI and controls. But halas ! How could we be so wroooong ! They just wanted to sell their product as a NEXT GEN game for console. Cause you know, it's so hype these days. PC UI, menus and controls ? it's sooo 2000. Common, everyone plays with a controller nowadays lads ! Don't forget it will add double the work loads for devs to do TWO true different UI... Modding ? Nah ! let Elder Scroll have these, OUR GAME will never be SOILED by MODDERS. OUR vision is grand, we do the best for players and they'll know it, or they'll spend money and will not be able to get refund and we'll have win at least a little to satisfy shareholders. 

 

You know the definition of insanity ? Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting for a different result. That's exactly what the fan base of BW do. Still buying games over and over, expecting a different (read better) result and getting disapointed EVERY TIME (remember ME2 & ME3 anyone ?) 

 

Oh and the fact that sells are not so much higher than DA2 prove our point. People don't trust in Bioware anymore....

Yeah, I'm a diehard PC gamer and yeah, I find the controls frustrating.  And yeah, I'm disappointed that it seems so half-baked that I am for the first time ever tempted to just plug a controller into my damned PC.  But I also still love the game, and I'm certainly not demanding a refund.  It took some creative remapping of keys and about 2 hours of experience to get to the point where I could play it without being really annoyed.  But the story and characters are still phenomenal and the combat is decently fun.

 

I sure hope they make some decent changes to PC controls, but I'll muddle on til then.

So I do not give up! ... I will not do like most people and in fact that is broken and demanded compensation, I will not do so will resist to the end until you settle down completely! if not, why the hell I got DA: I do ?! then give me the money back for a game bugged? with no ... I think now I will try to hold on a little ... hoping that later this week put the live pach Fizzi that all these problems and allow me to me and to others with the black screen to the main menu to play .
 
P.S:
But at least you can tell us if already this week will put a pach?

I didn't play the game yet, so I can't comment on what is broken and what's not. The 1st priority is to fix all stability issues with the game so everyone can play it. The 2nd priority is to work on the KB&M controls (which I afraid some are tied to Frostbite 3 limitations, as it is an FPS engine and not nearly as flexible as Unreal 3 in regards to alterations and modding).

The most important thing this forum lacks is patience. You want things here and now, patches like that aren't made in a day and as much as these fix things they can also break things. Be thankfull that you aren't a multiplayer community of SC2, where things move very slowly (expect Legacy of the Void to have at least 4 months of open beta), where each patch is anounced like month and a half perior and you have all this time a test period.

We got at the time the Extended Cut, which I thought wasn't really possible, so while the outcry is much less severe because of the amount of people involved, I trust BW to at least push the controls to the right direction (DA:O: I played almost exclusively on tactical cam, like Neverwinter Nights), but again, it will take time.

People are pissed off because Bioware said this was a PC game made for/by PC gamers, which is not the case what so ever, We can't even mod the game to fix it we have to wait for the devs.

But you know what games you can mod to fix.....Bethesda  RPG games

Honestly I am not really pissed off its a video game, but I do find Bioware's track record funny

Well, from this statement by Conal Pierse and the pm from Darrah, they are at the very least not engaging in a media blackout.

 

If I had to guess, I would say we can expect something by the end of this week.  But... if the idea floated last week regarding them having a package of fixes finished and rolled up into the first patch, it might be sooner.

 

I know I would surely like to be able to start playing as Thanksgiving dinner is happily digesting.

I plan to buy this game in June 2015, playing it on a new AMD Radeon 300x series. By that time DAI will be worth 30 euros new, some bugs will get fixed. 

And that only if the PC version will at least suffer an improvement on the UI and gameplay.

...

 

Hope you guys learn your lessons and do not pre-order nor buy on day 1 Mass Effect 4 for the PC.

...

I just don't get this Western American ideology, this impulse to buy games on day 0.

Or even pre-order it.

...

 

Why are you god damned Americans so impulsive when buying?

 

 

What does Capitalism or Western Ideology have to do with this?

 

If no one buys the game until others have bought the game then no one will ever buy games and no one will make games. Thats some sound logic.

 

Buying a game on release or even pre-ording a game is not impulsive buying unless the purchase was done with no knowledge of its features, genre or developers ect.

My brief advice for BioWare for the next Dragon Age title:

1. Make it smaller. I realize this can get frustrsting, with people complaining about how small DA2 was, but I think you went a bit overboard. I think the most apparent casuality of how big the game is, is how detached and insignificant the side quests feel.

Origins had its share of seemingly-irrelevant side quests as well, but not like this. The new "zoom in, but not be a cut scene" dialog is a flag that warns me that this quest is going to be a waste of time and will in no way let me further characterize my character. It's filler. I think you need to find a happy medium and I think you can/will do so.

2. Honestly, it's your last chance not to anger PC players. Everything from the tactical camera to the inventory screens needs to be designed with the PC in mind. This isn't the kind of stuff you want people hung up on. This isn't a "PC master race" thing, either. There should be separate controls for PCs and consoles. It's more work, but it's worth it.

To tell a little story, I had been looking forward to Watch Dogs ever since it was first announced at E3. I told all of my friends about it. I kept them appraised of all the Watch Dogs news. When I finally got the game, I played for about 20 minutes, was appalled at the driving controls, and haven't played it since. Controls matter.

3. Allow mods. I know it might be out of your hands due to the engine, but just really do everything in your power to let mods exist. At the very least you can expose properties files so we can set various gameplay values ourselves. Why do you all of a sudden need to crack down on modding?

This will never ever happen, considering EA's stance on modding/frostbite

Eh? Which version do you play? I play on PC and I can tilt the tactical view by holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse - like I look around/walk/etc. 

 

Might not be so on every version of the game, I can only attest to the PC version, but still.
