What consequences? You guys not buying the DLC, cause... you know.

I would hope that even though people like Bryan and other good dudes that work at BioWare have to face the music on these decisions that they at least go into their meetings with some of the higher ups and make it clearly known that parts of the fan base are not happy with some of the recent decisions, the drop of support of older gens, the dumping of the off topic forum etc.

 

I'm sure they all knew there would be some 'blow back' on these issues.  But for me a number one factor with customers is to 1)  not needlessly ****** them off unless you are getting a monster payback in some fashion.  2) Create ways to get new fans and new customers.  1 should ALWAYS be ahead of 2 because dealing with point 1 is what keeps customers coming back to your brand long term even if a product or two flops.

Here's a weekend challenge for the board mods... sticky this thread, so that anyone who sees the updates for the game on the game's website and decides to go buy a copy for their ps3 or xbox360 doesn't get a nasty surprise when they go online.

So final SP DLC has been announced. That would also mean final for MP as well. AND I ask so PS3/X360 support couldn't last for two DLCs??

Don't forget how the next patch will let you transfer schematics and collectables to all your characters and even let you change your skyhold outfit. Why can't last-gen get that again?

Bioware, why exactly could support not be continued if we're near the end of the line for DAIMP and DAI anyways?

 

The decision to end support for PS3 and Xbox360 makes even less sense now.

Umm... they've explained this already. A couple of times. What they wanted to accomplish with DLCs on technical and artistic level was something old consoles simply can't handle.

And how couldn't last-gen consoles handle new skyhold outfits or schematic transfers?

Well, did you at least watch videos from Descent playthrough? It's easy to tell that old-gen wouldn't be able to handle the amount of creatures that are fought, for example.

Don't ask me. I assume however that, aside from cost, it's because both those features are in the patch which has changes to core game that are inherently tied to newest DLC content.

[CitizenThom]

Still not pinned... so Bioware/ EA did something they're ashamed of then.

 

Dear potential consumer,

 

Please be advised that while Bioware/ EA is mentioning new DLC and new multiplayer content, this content will not be available on the PS3 and XBox360 versions of the game, so do not mistakenly purchase a copy expecting to play this content.

 

If you paid full price for either platform's release of the game, my sympathies. Bioware/EA is taking that money to the bank. Buyer beware, etc, etc.

There's like 12 creatures in decent midnight. They still could have continued mp if that was the case. There's like 3 good games in the ps4 as opposed to the ps3 which has tons. They forced us to upgrade pretendibg da woukd be better to drop a crappy sp dlc and a silent character to save money on voice acting. Not to mention it looks like a dude.... so I bought dai 3 times 2 consules later and I feel like I should just quit with bw forever. This is how they realky treat loyal da fans? I think they need to look at what cd red is doing with 20+ hr dlcs and get with the program instead of trying to rob us. Also thanks da community for making ban ruggie posts yet most of yall are saying what I said before billy took my posts off and temporary banned me... I'm done with buyin bw games new and ill never purchase dlc. I know I am not the only one. Dropping ps3 a month before you drop damp wtf kinda business you guys running do ysll even know?

I haven't been back to this thread because I was hopeful we would receive a sticky and a response from Bioware that actually showed their support for their fans, like they often have in the past. We are near the end of DAI... Yes, they can sit here and say that old consoles simply wouldn't support the new content all day long, but that seems like a pretty sorry excuse at this point. I've watched footage and gameplay of the Descent DLC. It's sub-par at best. Absolutely crappy and lore-breaking at it's worst.

Honestly, what I've seen, they have no real excuse for dropping support completely of last generation consoles other than "We made a mistake stretching ourselves so thin. Let's screw over all of our last gen fans so that we can try to make the game what it SHOULD have been at release and enjoy the profits from it as they all flock to a new generation console just so they can get more crappy story!"

It's a very poor business tactic... and once again, I will repeat myself, that they would be doing their business a favor by providing last gen consoles a free upgrade to new generation consoles. Let us get a free version that will transfer to our new system. That's all we're asking for and it's really not that much of a request in comparison to the money they will be making from us in the future.

As for reasons why they should sticky this thread, isn't it obvious? They have very little news about dropping support for their last gen consoles. They've said very little about it other than having to threaten people with bans from the forum because people are upset that they can't give us a reasonable response. There is no decent announcement, no real apologies, no real benefits for players switching consoles... nothing.

 

Many players are still completely in the dark about them dropping support... I can verify this from my lurking on their Facebook page and people STILL asking where the new content is for their PS3 and 360 and showing their disappointment that Bioware isn't doing a proper job in supporting their fans. At this point, why haven't they pulled the last gen console versions off the shelves so that they don't have more people raging over this?

It's a poor decision for many differing reasons and should be properly conversed about.

We've said all we're going to say on this topic, and understand that some people do not like our answer, or don't think it answers their questions exactly, but that's all we can say.  Locking.
