So I have been trolling this thread looking at the responses for a while and frankly I still can't believe (well actually I can believe EAWares stance on this being the consumers fault after letting Conal and Amelia continue to threaten and berate us for having issues and daring to be civil when asking for help) that they have their heads so far up their backside they can see the sun.  The lack of help, the insistence that its normal, the "Patch 2" that supposedly fixed a number of issues (it didn't FYI) and silence should be telling in regards to the direction Bioware has gone (the toilet for those not sure).

 

I myself am tired of hearing about Varric and Solas talk about a certain villain from the DA2 DLC Legacy whose name starts with C.  I have been hearing this particular banter for the last 40+ hours in my play through and have just tuned it out completely at this point.  But according to EAWare we are not supposed to hear the same banter twice in one play through.

 

I pre-ordered this game sight unseen with the last bit of faith I had left from the old Baldur's Gate days when Bioware was a new company and while I am enjoying the story and the multi-player (when it wants to work), it is very disconcerting to see a company with this big of a fan base to basically tell us all to get bent and its working as intended.  News flash Bioware.....IT ISN'T nor did your amazing "patch 2" do a bloody thing to fix it or many of the issues you supposedly "addressed".

 

So why not start the real damage control and work to fix the product we all bought?  Oh right you already got our money so it isn't worth it anymore.

Also, I enjoyed your Promenade.

I already posted this in the other thread, but I always use subtitles in my games and from my first day of play I noticed that subtitles for party banter would pop up without me being able to hear them. While this doesn't happen all the time, it happens at least once every time I play and I have to fix it by opening and closing the start menu. Whenever it occurs everything except the music is nearly muted.

blah blah blah

Many of us are frustrated, but this kind of post is decidedly unhelpful. "Threaten and berate"? Please.

 

First of all, Patch 2 did fix a lot of issues. Not the banter bug, but they didn't promise there would be any banter fix in Patch 2.

 

Secondly, they are working on a Patch 3, so accusing them of taking our money and running is just flat-out untrue.

Read that and then tell me it wasn't berating and threatening as it was to a lot of people.

I just read Amelia's post for the first time. I didn't find it berating or threatening but I did find it passive-aggressive and largely incoherent.

How could you possibly find that berating and threatening? It obviously lacts tact for a Bioware employee.....but if that is berating and threatening than the people on this board should be arrested for slander and defamation.

I didn't find it berating and threatening but  I did find a huge lack of tact and bluntness. You never ever say those kinds of things to people who bought a half finished game.

 

Ever

I found it honest and questioning. She want's answers, honest ones. I liked BWEAmelia's post. It's open and honest as to what she has been told and is thinking and, she's asking for the truth.

[CrabbyCrackers]

well they did a dlc for mp so maybe now we will get patch 3, soon i hope.  but after patch 2 and the pc thingy might take longer so there isn't a blow up. heck i dont know.

[Harvest_King]

I can confirm that party banter is NOT working as it's supposed to, at least through other characters. On my first character they wouldn't shut up, talked all the time. My second character, I noticed it died down, and on my third character, it's practically non-existent.

[Locklyn]

If I hear Varric and Solas do the same rant over C again (Up to sixty times now so far) I am going to push them both over a cliff and replace them with straw dummies, that will be just as effective in combat as trying to use the tac cam...Banter not broken eh? Not hear the same conversation twice eh? I call BS and not the Iron Bull sort...

[Locklyn]

I created a new character and guess what, i have my banter & music back, at least in the Hinterlands.

Summary:

- First playthrough (pre-patch) - lots of banter + music in all areas...(even in the western approach) without clearing codex + fast travel through world map.

- Second playthrough (half of it pre-patch, rest patch 2 + hotfix) - before patch see above, after the patch almost no banter and no music. Tried to clear codex, travel through war table and all the other steps.

- Third playthrough (new char post-patch 2 + hotfix) see first playthrough, or to be precise even more banter. I played for 4 hours and stayed only in the Hinterlands and had 15 banters (at first I had 13, but had 2 more after I wrote that here). 4 between Varric/Solas, 7 between Varric/Cassandra, 3 between Solas/Cassandra & 1 between Solas/Varric/Cassandra. I did a lot of fighting, cleared codex and travel through the war table, but I didn't fast travel between camps...I'm also offline in origins and the game is disconnected.

 

I'm really afraid to leave the Hinterlands now. I don't want my silence companions back.

You have music? You mean there is supposed to be music in this game...I have not had a single tune of music anywhere except when the bard is singing. And yes I have tried repairing the game...

[Kinsz]

Hey Bioware , Allan or whoever might be reading , do you think you could give us an update on whether or not you were able to reproduce the banter bug ? i know these things take time but a word from you on the matter would be very nice.

[QweenBeen]

Yes, please provide an update soon. We're all hoping for a present of party banter for the holidays! Lots of days off from work to hopefully enjoy the great cast you've created

[N1mh]

I didn't realise I had this problem. Honestly, I didn't know how often the banter should occur and not having played the previous games gave me no comparison. However, I had noticed that the bard would sometimes sing without music and reading these post I figured that I was suffering from this bug. Not everytime I play, but I figure often enough.

 

Last night I played and there was a lot of banter (I love it so much). I have the patch 2 installed and the only thing I have changed since yesterday is that I added the hotfix command line. It helped reduce stuttering/lag I was experiencing after the patch, but it seems it also helped with the banter. I feel like these issues are there one playtime and gone the next and then back again, kinda weird.

[QweenBeen]

I seem to have better banter after rolling two new characters post patch and hotfix. Fade rifts seem to turn it on too, but I'd still feel better if they updated our games with a patch. Even an update with just this one fix would make these pts a whole new experience. Before Xmas pleeeease??

[Black33]

What hotfix are you guys talking about?

See the first post. The hotfix is a command line to do with the shader quality. I guess it's not supposed to do anything for banter, but for the stuttering/lag.

Oh, that command line is useless since they released the hotfix, right? I thought there was a new hotfix. Thanks.

Right. If you have the hotfix installed, you should remove the command line workaround from your shortcut. For some reason people have been using the term "hot fix" when they're actually referring to the manual workaround.

[Jurus]

It's been almost 3 weeks since they've known about this issue and over a week since the last patch. I'm not expecting a fix all of a sudden, but an update on their progress would be nice.

Yeah, my bad - wrong terminology. Must've been placebo effect for me because it seemed to work after the hotfix. Ignore me altogether!

 

Anyway, I hope there will be a solution soon.

I think it's been a month since the game launched. I STILL HAVEN'T PLAYED IT

 

Ugh.
