I wonder if anyone asked their money back for this unplayable game,cause I'm tempted to do it

Yes, many people have asked for it. Many more, like you, consider to do it. Please, contact EA for more informations, I'm not competent to tell more.

Link to armours cut from SP(they are unique MP rewards now, grind-but-better-use-your-wallet!):

• http://forum.bioware...or-pics-thread/

I only played ~5 games in MP.

That armours actually looks pretty nice compared to the armours in the SP especially the headgear... Its sad we cant get them in SP.

Yes, I would like to get them in the nearest patch in form of schematics. They were cut from SP and they should get back there. People have different preferences so I won't say that objectively they look better, but most definately they look unique. It is not right that to get them you must play MP, especially when there are microtransactions. Many people complain that there is not enough of armour variety and they are perfectly right, their armours were cut to be sold in MP. Personally I find it vulgar.

 

In fact, I have created a thread, suggestion for free LC:

They were cut from SP

 

 

Is this speculation or do you have a source?

It is not a speculation, I have seen it on gameplay demo or trailer presenting singleplayer (both maybe). You can find on youtube somewhere, During it they were still presenting us with mages using books during combat animation (feature cut from the game, book remains on the back of the armour of elementalist though).

I know of quite a few here who returned the game within their window soon after release.  I certainly would have had I not missed mine.

 

Trying to find if there is any official listing for retail returns of the game.  Would not be surprised to see EA attempting to conceal it...

[Brogan]

How would news help? They already said a patch is coming. You want the exact date and specifics what they are doing? Patching is a creative process. They won't announce it until it's basically done and ready to implement. They cannot give a deadline nor know what issues they are able to fix and what not in advance.

 

Also, it's the holiday season. Expecting any Bioware employees to even bother getting out of bed is pushing it. Patch is more than likely coming in January.

Did you seriously just ask that....?

[AlyssaFaden]

No, they have not deleted my initial post, only the one after you started a 'fight'.

Also, as you see my post touches upon not one but few subjects.

you mean where I politely asked you not to spam the same post on the same morning, in the same thread, in the same page of that thread?

 

"fight."

 

Sure.

 

New to the internet? Better not wander too far, it gets nasty out there.

[Captain Wiseass]

Don't reply, it just encourages him.

This is not how software development works, unless you're working in a basement somewhere.

 

Whether you are using traditional waterfall methodologies or a more agile method with variable sprints, you know exactly what you are working on and you know exactly when the deliverable date is due.

There are moderators for that. No need for you to engage in 'polite asking'. In the future, please PM me instead of making snarky comments. It was not the same page and even if it was I have made my comment few days later, I have politely accented passage of time in my repeated question.

[maha_ziodyne]

PS3 user here. Man, I thought us last-gen guys got the short end of the stick, but it looks like PC users are suffering even more. All my complaints were directed towards the freezing, but it looks like some of you don't even get to play the bloody game at all. Really hope BioWare gets their act together in the next patch.

 

Side note: relieved to say that in the ~12 hours of playing post-patch, I've not had any freezes whatsoever. I did learn to stop moving around during autosaves and the occasional stuttering, however. Wish they could just give us the option to turn the damn thing off. It does more harm than good especially if you're diligent with manual saving anyway.

[Jadebaby]

This! People blaming Bioware for their CPU's or GPU's overheating...

 

rawr!
 
and btw: CPU overheating? Get a new comp ..or start playing on lower settings and tada(!) fixed! couse it´s not the games fault.

 
Actually, you are both wrong

Basically this game has bugs in it's coding that is misallocating system resources, cpu/gpu ram, pagefile and vram. Which results in crashes, lag, CTD's etc due to high usage spikes across storage and processing media.

I think what they are saying is that even if they did give news as to when the next patch/hotfix/overhaul-of-broken-game came, this news, in itself, would not fix said game.

 

That being said, peace of mind can go a long way to curing people's anxiety about not being able to play this damn game.

[devSin]

During it they were still presenting us with mages using books during combat animation (feature cut from the game, book remains on the back of the armour of elementalist though).

Actually, people criticized it enough after the demo that they had to come assure us that those weren't even player animations.

It was always something specific to the spellbinders, and it's still in the game.

But these aren't issues that affect all or even the majority of players.

I don't doubt the obscene stuttering that some people are experiencing (we have videos of it), but I personally have no real performance complaints, and aside from various crashes and a few freezes over all that time, the game hasn't displayed any serious technical flaws (except that one time they turned all the shaders to crap for a couple days).

There are certainly any number of bugs in the game, but it's not right to imply that it's unplayable for everyone (though I'm not sure we have any idea of who has the potential to be affected).

[DarkAmaranth1966]

You'd think that people would know by now that NO game or even OS for that matter is released 100% bug free. That's impossible. They cannot test on every possible hardware combination with every possible software combination. Now IF the supposed bug happens on a computer that meets or exceeds recommended (not minimum) specs with only the game and one of the recommended operating systems and, required drivers but nothing else, then yes, that is a bug the developers can and should fix.

 

Conflicts with background processes, other software, including AV, not the game itself so, we should be glad if they do fix those at all.

If you have no real performance issues, consider yourself lucky. I too had no performance issues pre-patch 2 apart from a handful of DirectX ctds, however since then I cannot play for even 10 minutes without the game crashing. Which is frustrating since I'm 96 hours in.

 

I never implied that this game was unplayable for everyone. Even with lag and stuttering the game is still completely playable (2/4 problems caused by misallocated resources).

I also never even implied that these performance issues were affecting everyone. I was simply stating that some people can, in fact, blame their cpu/gpu's overheating on BioWare and that it has nothing to do with them needing to upgrade their hardware.

[DarkAmaranth1966]

Yes, the game has allocation issues and, the cutscene crash issue but, that does not make it unplayable. It makes a game you need to save often (not a bad idea anyway) as for the sever lag, stuttering, I have only seen that on machines that meet minimum but are at or below recommended.

 

Too many assume ANY PC will run ANY PC game at max settings w/o problems and, that simply isn't true.

[Chaos17]

And that's why people are waiting for more patches to come.

I have see that, but I think they are the wizards you can fight in Hinterlands or on the Venatori's side. I don't remember to have seen that in the side of the Inquisition. Even if it was the case, the trailers are sometimes made with elements which aren't related with the game. For example, there is a trailer which show the Mage-Inquisitor fighting Erimond (the Tevinter mage of Adamant). However, in the game, It's Clarel who fight Erimond before the falling into the fade. That's why I usually don't make quick conclusion after seeing trailers.

Oh yeah, and I assume you have seen A LOT of PC running DA:I to say that ? My PC - even if it's not a raging beast - is higher than the recommended settings and encounters a lot of PC freezes. I have set a mix of high/ultra (mostly high, one or two ultra setting like tesselation) with a i5 3,30GHz, a recently-bought ASUS GTX 760 2Go VRAM OC, and 8Go of RAM. Please don't make crappy statistics with only 3 cases you know : In 200h of play, I have encountered 1 or 2 freezes per day of playing (not just game crashes which close the game - that I've encountered it as well, anyway - but freezes with mandatory reboot), that I haven't seen on any other games I have. It's not unplayable, but it certainly hurts my PC hardware on the long term. And since patch 2, there are many days during then I have huge 20-seconds-stuttering each 5 seconds. That, however, makes he game unplayable as hell when it happens (frequently).

But if you are an PC expert, I'm waiting for your diagnostic, Sherlock. Especially because BioWare itself recognized that huge stutterings were directly a consequence of their 2nd patch.

[dreamgazer]

Meanwhile, Patch 2 continues to work incredibly well on Xbox One. Rock solid during gameplay with improved sound presence, as well as smoother cutscenes. No broken quests, no crashes, nothing at all "broken". Only mild audio delay here and there (jumping and map functions) and some occasional texture pop-in.

Speak that for yourself or don't speak at all if you don't really know how things really are.The game is unplayable for me,I can barely reach the main menu,the game freezes every damn second, its impossible to select something from the menu.And then saying that the problem is with the requirements of the PC's people have!!!.I have an I5 4690,3.5ghz,16DDR3,Gainward phantom GTX970,so I guess after what you are saying ,I barely meet the minimum requirement for this game.Dude, before the patch I was playing the game on ULTRA settings with no problem,so I'm really pissed about it,so stop with these kind of comments if you don't really know how things really are,and I'm not the only one with the same problem,and Bioware its silent about it,they disappeared from these forums,and yet they are releasing multiplayer DLC's,to wipe my arse with them because I can't play fricking  game.Maybe they are working to fix the problem,but the lack of communication for a month since they release this patch its pissing me off,because I'm siting here with a game that I've payed 70euros (that is A LOT OF MONEY) and I can't play it.
