Not to mention we've tried every single suggestion that he's given and we've even come up with some new ones.  

 

Conal, please take the time to read the thread and not just grab the highlights from other folks.  The thread has been largely productive and civil, with little BioWare/EA bashing in sight.  We won't bite, but hopefully you can see why we're frustrated by your post.    Please, come read the thread instead of offering the most obvious suggestions that folks tried a week ago before this whole thing hit the news.

 

Agreed. Please read the thread devs, it will give you a better idea of what you are facing and then we can all work together to fix this. You need us to test stuff out, we'll do it - we're already doing it. We want to help. We need more information, we need reassurances that this isn't going to be swept under the rug and ignored. It is affecting a great many people and it cannot be simply ignored or forgotten. You have such a great game here, if I had regular banter you wouldn't be able to pull me off of this game, I adore it. But as is, I am traipsing around your beautiful world in near silence, which gets dull real fast. 

 

So please, please read the thread.

Working as intended, eh? So, apparently, there simply isn't any banter between most party numbers. So far as I can tell, the only party members that speak at all are Iron Bull and Vivienne, and only a handful of exchanges at that. Biovar pls.

Everything seems to be working fine for me.

Please read the original thread carefully through. We took the time trying to figure out completely in the dark what is causing COMPLE silence in the game. U cannot say that 70-90 hours of lack of music and 5-10 bartner WAS intended.

Please read the original thread through.

How can something be exhausted if it never happened in the first place? Even as a newcomer to this community, I can see that the banter thread has been very cooperative and methodical. Many (including me) have posted detailed timelimes about the events - or lack thereof.

However this official response seems rather dismissive, given the amount of effort we have put into testing. We want to love this wonderful world you've created, but as to how it stands now, its hard to feel part of it. Please re-read the thread and corroborate the experiences as being "normal."

60+ hrs in, and I never had music in my game outside cutscenes and bards.

Not to mention the lack of party banter.

They are not saying that they are not going to do something to fix this, they are just saying that everything that they have tryed is work just fine and that they are going to investigate more about the issue.

Also I you Bioware should read the other post about the bug.

Same here. Had no idea there the was meant to be music half of the time.

So it is intended. It is just another of the many baffling pieces of design in the game.

Yeah, please read the original thread through. There are several detailed notes on the frequency.

 

This is a real, actual problem. We’ve collectively tried all these solutions and many besides.

 

We REALLY WANT TO HELP. Please give us a rundown on how the system is supposed to work exactly*, which things affect it, which quests are considered for advancing (is it main only, or also others—see the possible Journal bug we uncovered), etc., etc. We’ll test it for you.

 

What do you want, twitch streams? I’m sure we can do that too.

 

 

* I can listen to a more technical explanation, too.

You know what I hate? When I'm at work and someone finds a coding issue on their machine that just will not replicate on my developer machine no matter how much I debug and test it. Not being able to replicate the issue and having to tell the client there's not much I can do except keep trying is an awful feeling.

 

Hopefully a resolution can be found. I've had this issue myself. In one of my playthroughs I was in the Hinterlands for about 5 hours, all over the map, and got about 2-3 banters. Today in my second playthrough I got 6 banters within half an hour of reaching the place.

I appreciate that you are looking into these concerns and letting us know what is going on, so thank you!  It's disappointing the lack-of-banter couldn't be duplicated but I hope it will continue to be looked into.... I know a lot of us would love to learn more about our silent companions.

Please also note that banter does not recycle, so you will only hear a set of lines once. The rate at which it occurs is also random, which is why sometimes you will encounter it more frequently, and sometimes less so.

 

All right, I know for a fact that while going through the HInterlands, I've had Cassandra and Solas have the same banter trigger at least two or three times. Hours apart maybe but I distinctly recall thinking to myself that I had heard this banter already.

This. Please. There are so many people on the other thread willing to do the testing and put in the work to fix this problem, if only they knew where to look. Please stop acting like there isn't a problem. Some of the solutions listed work for some people, sure. They work for me sometimes, but there are so many people on the other thread who have tried everything and gotten nothing. They don't deserve to be ignored. For everyone person who mentions this glitch, there are probably a dozen more who have it, and don't even know it because they don't get on forums, and just assume the game is meant to be this silent, this empty, this lonely.

Yes, please read the original thread! Everyone went through the 'solutions' posted in this thread very early on, and are very much not the issue presented. This isn't a 'we're being greedy for more banter' issue, this is a 'your game has extreme sound issues across banter/music/combat soundsets, please look into it' issue. Please keep trying to find the cause, I completely understand and am sympathetic to it being a needle in a monumental haystack - but when 97% of my time in the Hinterlands is spent in ambient silence, with no musical cues/combat soundsets/banter triggering, no matter what party I use... well, it's not a problem being caused by my gameplay choices.

Same. I've gotten repeat banter, and that alone should show that there's something wrong the flags/triggering/etc.

No devs there is a problem when 50 hours on gameplay gives me 12 banters.

In order to test this, it would be interesting to know how many banters exist per two-character combination and area. I guess it's different by character and area, but if we spend, say, eight hours in an area with the same party, is it likely that we exhaust the banter after half that time?

Or, well, I know it’s a bit of a task to read through 60 pages so maybe we can collect some more information…

Do I have to send you my PS4 so you can try it out and see for yourself that I barely have banter and no music whatsoever? Except I have a European one so it probably wouldn't work at all. I do have several hours of play on my Twitch channel so you can check for yourselves what my game looks and sounds like.

The only times I've had consistent music was during the Haven battle, and another part later on that played the same piece. Everything else is totally silent.

I literally did all of your tips during my first play through, and I still spent the game in almost complete silence. You can't seriously tell me you intended me to have maybe three dozen banters in sixty hours of playing.

Thanks for the link, Spirit.  I think that the only way the devs might be able to address this is if they see it for themselves.

This. We should probably make a big list of all the attempted suggestions and possible solutions that have been debunked.

LOL I called it! Why would Bioware bother patching or fixing the game now that they got our money?!  But hey at least most people now can see bioware as what it is a bunch of lying backstabbing thieves.  SUPPORT CD PROJECT! BUY THE WITCHER 3!!
