I no longer trust BioWare!

 

It is now ok for people to exploit glitches to climb the leaderboards.

 

Shame on you BioWare.

 

I have deleted Dragon Age off of my xone

Nobody should believe leaderboards any longer - they have no integrity.

I am sorry to hear that you are upset, and that you feel there is an issue with the current leaderboards.  

 

However, I must ask, at what point did we say it was ok to exploit or glitch?  If an exploit or glitch is reported, we investigate.  An investigation takes time.  We never take immediate action as we must first understand the cause and the consequences of any reaction before acting.  This is true of any decision, and any product.  

 

If there are concerns about specific players, tactics, etc, please post to the forums, or direct message me.  Please note, that while we appreciate the notice/heads up in these situations, and we do investigate, it's up to our team to determine the penalty, if any is deserved, not another player, or group of players.

 

As issues are brought to our attention, it can often takes days or weeks to fully understand the issue, determine who has committed an offensive act, and then push appropriate reactions.  We also generally cannot bring attention to the fact that we have done so, or are in the process.  This is due to the simple fact that if we alert the offenders that we are aware of a specific issue, or are getting close to a fix/reaction, they will alter their behaviours, patterns, etc before we can complete our investigations and follow ups.

 

I generally try to avoid responding to the more extreme claims, but I felt this was something that needed to be said.  BioWare has never been ok with cheating, glitching, exploiting, or other means of harming the community, the game, and the fun of playing games in general.

 

We take these issues very seriously.

 

thanks,

As pointed out since my initial response:

- Yes, we are aware of the issues being discussed (I figured my profile pic would tip most off)

- Yes, the lobby issue is a bug

- No, we are not ok with exploits, as originally stated (meaning that players that are encountering this, for the most part, are being affected by a bug, not something they are maliciously attempting/provoking on their side

- No, we are not going to discuss any penalties to this at this time (see my original post)

- Yes, Blair (Fiddzz) has already acknowledged the topic in a separate thread, including noting it will be patched out

- Yes, it's Saturday night and Luke and I are in the office...

- Yes, I am hoping to go home very soon so I can return to enjoying playing some matches with everyone :-)

 

Finally...

- YES.  We understand that the anger or frustration expressed in these threads and forums is the result of your passion.  

We're all gamers.  We are all passionate about games, and playing games.  When something is not what we hope for, or expect, we tend to let that passion out.  We want the rest of the world to know that we are upset, frustrated, or angry that something is not what we hoped for, or expected.  We get it.  No worries there.  We do it from time to time too.  We just ask that when you encounter issues, please try to keep it as constructive as possible.  Makes it easier to read, get to the root of the issue, and begin processing what we can or cannot do as a potential reaction, if deemed necessary.

 

thanks all!

Hey folks,

I appreciate everyone wanting to chime in on the topic. Good, healthy discussions are always fun, and a big part of why I enjoy jumping onto the boards to chat with all of you.

That said, there have been some comments directed at others here that don't fit that "good, healthy discussion" vibe. I realize there will always be differences of opinion and agreements and disagreements with how others conduct themselves in game, on the forums, or in life, but I'd appreciate it if everyone could please stand down on the personal attacks.

I've reached out to a few of you individually to note that we've seen and heard your concerns, regarding the game and how players are interacting with each other here and in-game. It's a topic I'm very passionate about. I love coming here to chat with you all, and it's a lot more fun when we can all chat without getting into finger pointing. If you see someone post something rude, or inappropriate, please do not fire back. Just ask that they leave the personal attacks out. If you're not comfortable doing that, or they continue to respond negatively, please use the "Report" function or direct message myself or one of the admins/moderators.

The forums returned to a great place to be and somewhere I frequent regularly since we launched DAIMP. You all had a part in that. So, THANK YOU! Let's try to keep it awesome going forward. I hear we have a few more games on the way :-)

Thanks for your understanding,

Billy

Haha, thanks! We've both headed out now. Have a great night, all!

Holy.. way to blow what I said completely out of context, I guess it's my fault for trying to be lighthearted.

 

Ok, i'll break it down so there is no misunderstanding.

 

1. There is a bug, if you enter upon a game where it happens, don't feel like you've broken some kind of rule playing there.  But it's probably advisable to leave the lobby if the people playing there are purposefully doing an exploit. 

 

2. We're investigating the bug, and yes some people can reproduce it.  Reproducing =/= the solution is easy.

 

3. EXPLOITING a known bug for gain is against the TOS, and we are in no way condoning it, and could lead to you getting banned, which would suck.

 

Finally, stop taking what we say out of context in order to perpetuate an argument or point of view to suit your own goals or troll the forums.
