I noticed this morning (it's the 11th of August today) that you released a new patch ( http://blog.bioware....-patch-9-notes/ ) for Dragon Age: Inquisition. Whereas this used to make me really happy I can't help but feel slightly dissapointed at this:

 

This has probably been said before (and I don't know if it's necesary for me to make a thread about this), but this patch is focused on the DA:I multiplayer.... again.

 

Let's count them up:

 

Patch 9: Focus on multiplayer ( "The upcoming Patch 9 for Dragon Age: Inquisition contains a number of bug fixes and improvements to multiplayer.") 

Patch 8: Focus on multiplayer (" In the current Patch 8 for Dragon Age: Inquisition, our focus is on introducing new multiplayer features, improvements to overall multiplayer stability, and a new Save Importer feature for migrating single-player save games and multiplayer data to new consoles. ") 

Patch 7: Fixes for issues for both the PS and the PC. No new content for either multiplayer or singleplayer

Patch 6:  Yet again new features for multiplayer (" Patch 6 for Dragon Age: Inquisition improves overall game stability, implements a number of bug fixes, and introduces some multiplayer improvements. The Katari multiplayer kit now has more HP and generates guard on hit. ") 

Patch 5: Release of Black Emporium (not included in the patch : "Please note that the Black Emporium is not part of the patch 5 release. Thanks to the excellent feedback we received from the people in our beta program, we are continuing to work on this feature.", but I still want to give credit where it's due). 

Patch 3/4: Bug fixes for both multiplayer and singleplayer. No new content for either multiplayer or singleplayer.

Patch 2: Fixes for both multiplayer and singleplayer.

 

Now of all these patches released, only patch 5 had multiplayer focus. In total we have had three patches with new MP content. I understand that updating the multiplayer is important (because of the $€$$$€€€, let's be honest) but if you compare the gaming experience with the Witcher 3 (I am not making a direct comparison here, we got 16 (!) free DLCs and  eversince the game came out (middle of may) I feel like CDPR has really been listening to their audience. 

 

The reality of the situation is this: most people play mostly/only singleplayer and while I can't speak for others; I'd love to have some free singleplayer DLC for this game aswell. Yeah the thrones were nice, but I have been playing DA eversince 2010 and have given you my fair-share of money. I just want to feel appreciated. I even bought the Dragon Age comic books. 

 

-sigh-

The Multiplayer dlc isn't free: it's just payed for by micro transactions. I'm in favour of micro transactions I'm MP (since I don't end up spending anything), but would rather leave them out of SP.

Dear Bioware, just make an MMO base on Dragon Age lore, maybe in you can set the time around Ancient Age or Divine Age. I would love to play an MMO rather than this Multiplayer bullshit. Just make sure not to fail like ESO

There shouldn't be any micro-transactions in SP, but reading "in this patch our focus is mulitplayer" time after rime is kind of disheartening. People/Bioware seem to forget that we (the players) have already spent a significant amount of money (DA:I costed 55€ for me, I preordered) and that some free DLC would make their costumers appreciated. The hotfixes and the general "Bug-repairing" is all nice, but I am expecting Bioware to take care of their game running properly.

lol who plays DAMP? It sucks. No where near the quality and fun of ME3MP.

In retrospect, yeah, it was a big mistake for Bio to not hold a bunch of content back to release as free DLC.

This reminds me that I should count how many fixes PS3 and XBOX360 got compared  to other platforms.. maybe I'll get it to it today.

 

What comes to topic, well multiplayer keeps getting new content so that might be reason, I'm sure though that Descent will have some fixes in next patch. Also dev team of MP are more involved with fandom than SP, on multiplayer subforum there is quite lot dev activity compared to other sides so maybe that mentality is in the patches as well, idk.
