You may not have signed anything, but the people in the program most certainly did. We are asking that you be respectful of that and refrain from posting about any alleged leaks from the beta program. Because our lovely moderators do not necessarily have the time or resources to verify if everything being posted is legitimate or not, we are doing a blanket shut down on anything alleging to have come from the beta program.
If you're interested in what may or may not be in the beta and you play on PC, you could always consider signing up here: https://dragonagekee...m/DAIPatchBETA/
Or you could update your Multiplayer community on what's being worked on to improve their multiplayer experience.
I hear it is what most devs do nowadays and is a popular form of community management and rentention.
Unfortunately I play on PS4 so this beta program isn't available for your biggest MP community.
Got a long time to wait for the story based single player DLC due to that exclusivity deal...
There are some fairly wide ranging reasons why I can't comment about what may or may not be in a closed beta. Due to the nature of betas, it is entirely possible that whatever is being tested may change significantly based on the feedback we receive from players. We are working on improvements to the multiplayer experience, but I'm afraid I can't provide any specifics as to what those may be.
Doing so would be a disservice to this community and to our developers.
Obviously our devs are very excited about what they are working on, and I'm sure many of them would love to talk to you about some of it, but we just aren't able to at this point.
We appreciate your candor, Conal. It is good to hear some acknowledgement. There has to be some balance, the community is wearing thin with the monotony. the (sometimes misguided) common knowledge is that we were to expect more content and we have not heard much beyond the "There is stuff we are working on" that is occasionally forced out of the devs. It would be nice to not have to get leaks or patch hacks to know that something big that might motivate the community to continue playing was in the pipeline. We understand that things change with development but we collectively feel in the dark on everything to do with future releases.
Part of the problem in why we aren't always so free to talk about what may or may not be coming out is outlined by Mark in this series of tweets. This is also why studios that aren't publicly traded companies can sometimes be more open about what they are doing (ie government agents and accountants won't come a knocking at their door if they do).
