90 if you bought deluxe!

Crafting works fine here, even got more party banther (sometimes I went for hours without a sound from anyone, even varric!!).
But now, random crashes to desktop out of thin air for no ryme or reason.
No sound at some places.
And also, just a peeve, but WHY FIX THE Item exploit?!! honestly..... *grmblz*
Oh, and I'm on a pc.... Just in case.
This is the shield I crafted for Cassandra. At least the stats are still there, but something is wrong. Cass vigorous great-shield (24 armor rating) vs Orlesian lion shield

Yes, all old shields don't have an armor rating anymore, you'll have to get a new one for Cassandra.

which sucks because people that didnt dupe are being punished with a shitty untested patch that ruins their shields and armors

Um... Nobody is being punished. The patch broke something. As with any patch that breaks something, a hotfix will likely occur. Since the patch is, at this time, a bit over 24 hours old, they may, or may not have isolated what changed in the code so that they can figure out how to fix it. You see, unlike people on the forums, that just have to post over and over how victimized they are about it, they actually have to do the footwork to figure it out, and get it fixed. Also, again with the misconceptions, armors are working just fine. All of my crafted armor is fine, that I made pre patch, I can't speak to the only crafted shield I was using, since that game is on hold for any DLC/Expansions we may or may not get, but in the games where I have been playing, they're fine.
Uh yes
people who used the duping glitch and people who didnt are now punished with a broken patch for shields and armors because they decided to fix something that wasnt broken in the first place.
lol victimized
they broke something that didnt need fixing
they had no reason to fix something that only effected single player campaign.
Wow someone wanted more dragon materials which are already limited?
or someone duped a rare fade touched mat they liked
they patch this then they can sell us DLC weapons and armors and schematics
Shove a little bit more of our money in their pockets not that the micro transactions in MP are much better :33
honestly duping just made this shitty drawn out overly overdone crafting system easier since people wouldnt have to waste 20 minutes between fast travels and loading screens getting the 40 silverite people needed.
honestly t0rrents exist because services and availability for products suck
that why the duping glitch was discovered and made public
because this is not an MMO were we are supposed to grind for hours to make decent gear
this is supposed to a story driven action RPG
all patching the dupe glitch did was
A: Stick a middle finger in the face of players who hate grinding and finding materials to have decent not even OP gear
B: Bug out armor and shields with shields being the most common denominator.
C: Give bioware the option of making paid DLC for better weapons which people will by to bypass this terrible crafting and material drop system
If your crafting is so bad that people would pay to skip it that is your fault as a dev for creating it that way and your fault to possibly exploiting players for more money. Then again it's all EAware now.
Since no one else thought to go out and actually test this before shrieking about imagined nefarious plans; I went out and had Cass smacked about in the name of science.
This is a display bug on both the shield and the character sheet. The shield's AR is being taken account in combat and reducing damage according to the known AR formula ( Tested with a "0 AR" crafted shield with no additional % defence bonuses and a butt naked Cass ). Additionally, equipping a crafted shield with a 0 AR actually appears to reduce the displayed frontal defence on the char sheet. But its certainly not increasing damage taken.
So your shield actually works fine, relax.
Uh yes

Bioware is shameless. I guess that's all it really takes to keep your job there anymore.
No hotfix for the crafted shield and armor bug yet? Has Bioware even acknowledged this issue?
Yes.

how dare you to stop the hysterical behaviour with arguments ![]()
There is no hotfix needed.
People that used cheats borked the game for everyone else.
I am trying to see what the problem is apart from incessant complaining. The crafted shield is after the patch.

Edit: I guess my point is move on.
A single player game that you have to work to get good items in game and people are crapping all over it after two months. Hilarious.
All the problems people mention (crafted shields 0 armour, no walk-toggle, no banters, so on) - fortunately that ONLY problem I've had is the crafted shields one, and that was only for those crafted pre-patch. I just made Inqi a new shield from (mostly) the same mats and we were back in business. (Mind you, neither my original nor by new had Fade-Touched mats - I can see how someone's who did would pose a bigger issue).
I don't know how prevalent the bugs actually are, but they will appear to be worse than is truth because those having problems with the patch come out in far more force to say as much. People who have no problems are content to say nothing, for the most part.

Oh joy, another "EA is evil and Bioware is incompetent" idiot. Why should Bioware bust their balls only to get flamed by the ungrateful masses?
Unfortunately, there are even worse idiots outside of BSN, and I have experienced too many of them in the last 24 hours in both my personal and professional life. The idiots in my professional life care more about company politics than the generous company they work for. Two separate idiots in my private life will cost my family more than $15,000, because of their arrogance or selfishness.
End rant.
Mmmmm still can't login via Origin if it is online. Hitting Update does nothing.
@louise101 I love the crafting and will continue to enjoy it...
Yes, the shield was crafted before patch 3. I will eventually craft new items for everyone. I was not really complaining, I was just showing what was broken on my game from patch 3.

Aw well that sucks.
maybe if bioware had told everyone that they needed more time we would have understood instead of rushing a game out the door.
All the bugs running rampant are just a testament some companies are in it for the money.
spike the sales for now.
test and fix code later.
Again people, this is just a display bug. Your gear is fine. You do not need to craft new items and none of your gear was ruined. It is mechanically fine. This is only a bug in the displayed AR.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem.
I'm Currently stuck in the Hissing Wastes. My game will crash each time I try to Fast Travel out of the Hissing Wastes into another area. This started happening after the last patch was placed. After DA:I was updated I traveled from the Hissing Wastes to The Hinterlands to see if the Moasic quest there was fixed. It is not by the way. I went back to the Hissing Wastes after this to complete the quests. After some questing, and many hours of game play, I tried to return to Skyhold to upgrade potions and manage the WarTable. I got past the loading Screen for Skyhold and went into a black screen with a flashing inquisition loading icon still in the bottom lright corner. Afrer maybe a minute my Desktop reappeared and the game closes itsself down without any error messages. I then reloaded the game, got abck to my character and Fast Traveled to 3 different locations within the Hissing Wastes with not problem. I then tried to Fast Travel to the Hinterland and the game crashed like before. I repeated this 2 more times with two different locations, The Storm Coast, and the Emerald Graves with the same issue those tries too.
Yeah not very happy right now.
Update: I was just able to Travel to the Western Approch. From there I was able to Travel to Skyhold. Going to the Wartable my game crashed once again. I got this to repeat another time before accessing the Undercroft. After leaving the Undercroft my game crashed once more. Im starting to think it has more to do with the black loading screen i see than anything else. This is odd because its never affected gameplay at all until now.

I haven't encountered that, and I did some testing on my rogue in the Hissing Waste after I got patched up. I then traveled to the Exalted Plains to see if that was fixed, and not only didn't crash to the desktop, but got my missing area for the Plains.
I just tried again and got to Skyhold but crashed when going to the Wartable and leaving the undercroft. Updated my last post with more info on that. Right now I think it's related to the black loading screen i see after the environment loading screen fades. This has never bothered me before but now the game is more annoying to play than not.
The toggle walk works fine. You have to set the key you want to use.
