The BioWare developers are not ignoring the forums. I don't know what some of these posters are expecting. Daily updates? A begging pleading apology for everything, beyond the sincere apology he (and other developers) have given for the bugs and issues?
FFS, look at the date on this post.
Hey everyone,
The hotfix for Patch 2 on PC is now live. Thanks for all your patience on this, we appreciate it.
Considering that this was posted three days ago, and Conal has been posting quite a bit in several threads in this section throughout the last 3 weeks or so, might want to calm down a bit. Three days and he spent much of that day responding to questions. As well trying to remind folks to remain civil instead of picking each other apart. You probably shouldn't get offended that the man might be actually doing his job of trying to get some of these issues resolved instead of constantly posting.
And don't even start with this, "If he had done his job in the first place" bullshit. If anyone truly thinks a developer of any software isn't going to have patches after the release of a product, then they are really imposing willful ignorance on themselves.
They aren't ignoring the forums at all. If you really want a sample of that, go have fun in the battle.net forums. For any Blizzard game. Then count the blue posts, which are the ones that come from mods, devs and PR reps. Ignore the green texted ones; those are forum MVPs and do not work/speak for Blizzard. Then count the blue posts that directly come from their developers, and not just the forum community managers or from their PR department. That's a company whose developers have lost all interest in even attempting to interact with their fans.
If you don't believe Conal, or any of the other developers, then you're probably never going to believe anything that anyone from BioWare says, and thus, you are wasting your time anyways.
Edit: I am by no means blind to the issues and bugs. I have given criticism to BioWare in the past and I still do so with some of the design choices. I have a list of gripes, including the crappy PC controls. However, why don't some of you guys just let these men and women do their jobs instead of demanding that they post on the forums constantly?
