I wonder how this'll affect BSNs traffic.

[OdanUrr]

They already tried shutting down groups but turned against it

 

Oh, ye of little faith.

[LPPrince]

 

 

 

Spoiler

Except we probably are going to take it, because this is the internet and we can't do ****.

 

So basically thats the white version of *expletive* the police

Its less wondering, more just knowing.

[spirosz]

I'm tired of corporate.

 

Just give us a legitimate person to person response. Sick of all this "company this, business that". We're people. Talk to us like people.

 

I am too, but it's what they have to do.  Can't lose us loyal fans!  

 

But remember folks, pre-order our season pass! 

[Fast Jimmy]

I wake up early to upload a new video on youtube and I get this?

Call me DSP because WOOOOOOOOOW.

Notes on my Let's Play since I am never going to finish it now:

- 6-8 chapters remaining, 5-7 as normal chapters with the last as an epilogue.

- After defeating the MP Brigands, the Lobby receives word of one more enemy out of the Warrens.

- BioWareMod02 escalating the situation previously hinted at. With LPPrince failing to stop the Lobbyists, BioWare staff saw that reforming the Lobby was a waste. It had to be destroyed. I am not joking, this was actually a plot point I had prepared for since new bosses were introduced with the Houndmaster patch. Perhaps I brought about the apocalypse on us all...

- The Formless Flesh boss from Darkest Dungeon would represent an amalgamation of BioWare Staff and Moderators including David Gaider, Mike Laidlaw, Allan Schumacher and any BotMod with a personality.

- They would have The Master from Fallout 1 as their avatar and speak of the community, as well as using quotes and memes like "toxic forums" or Allan hating everyone.

- All three parties to do battle individually with the Formless Flesh, with Photoshop and selective screenshots making it look like a collective effort all at once. I preferably wanted Sim or Recon to get the kill shot but whoever gets it, gets it

- Depending on how lazy I am, set myself or David7204 up as a surprise final boss as the Gibbering Prophet in the Ruins for 100% boss completion. Hammering home that the worst thing about BSN isn't the moderation, it's the users.

- Fast Jimmy also a candidate for Gibbering Prophet, as that would resolve the cryptic Dominus/FJ interactions over the course of the LP. The idea being that Jimmy is a raving Prophet hailing the Doom of RPGs because of Save Imports who is only docile and lucid because he's bound by Dom's magic. However, the bastards refused to die during normal play, making it impossible to set up logistically. Could still happen if they went down against the Formless Flesh but it didn't happen during the LPPrince fight like I was quietly hoping.

- The epilogue will have the Lobbyists honouring those who had fallen. War memorial plaque Photoshop, as well as profile epilogue blurbs for those who survived.

- Bison overcomes his DotA 2 addiction only to fall pray to League of Legends. Dio Demon becomes a well known DM but his family believes he is actually a BDSM Dungeon Master. Dominus goes cold turkey on MLP, only to have Recon send him sexually suggestive Luna imagery under the guise of "testing" his resolve. Etc etc.

- With peace finally restored, the remaining Lobbyists realise that they aren't that close after all, and dissipate, retreating to their own threads and social groups. They fought to save the Lobby, now that it's saved, they don't really feel connected to it anymore ala Frodo at the end of LotR.

- Ending is definitive enough for me to quit writing the LP, but open ended enough for the Lobbyists to rally together once more when new Darkest Dungeon content is released. Probably the former because I'm lazy.

I do have to say though, that I enjoyed writing Darkest Dungeon the most. I know Fallout 2 or JA 2 were probably my most popular but I had to try harder for edgy satire whereas I could be a little more relaxed with Darkest Dungeon and focus on a good story/combat flow and the week to week system was pivotal in me sticking to it for so long.

Wish I could cap it off, but that's life. C'est la vie. It was fun while it lasted.

Anyways, add me:

Crusty on Steam. BraindeadBroom might also work.

The amount of prophecy in that LP synopsis... geez.

Sad, really really sad, this will not get made. You are a master at LP writing, Crusty. And this seemed like the one that might actually get completed. Disappointing times.

[Salarian Master Race]

I was wondering when the "Bioware is killing themselves/dying" comments would start

 

three years ago

[AresKeith]

three years ago

 

Longer than that really

But is he a Prince at writing LP's? Because he actually does them?

[Voxr]

I made a Star Wars group for the Ep. 7 thread regs. It's open to whoever though. But I'm out yo. You guys were cool.

[LPPrince]

I am too, but it's what they have to do.  Can't lose us loyal fans!

I haven't purchased the latest DLC for Inquisition because I have to be careful with my money. But even if I had the money, I'd avoid it now just out of protest.

[Excella Gionne]

They locked an entire board. I'd say locking a thread is pretty easy after that.

 

Then comes shutting down groups, banning personal messages, locking profiles, etc., etc.

I don't know if the mods tolerate the community making groups not related BW games. 

[Milan92]

Fast forward?

 

Oh, s***, I just realized the Life Is Strange thread is gone too!

 

You know what else sucks?

 

I was gonna buy Tales from the Borderlands and then share Fiona hat pics in the thread.

 

But that one is gone too!

It wouldn't do much really, the dev team has nothing to do with the forums

[OdanUrr]

After today I'd say "probably not."

[Serelir]

Are there any groups yet for music or books? I found so much good music in the Lobby. BSN, you're going to force me to actually PM people.

Very sad. Fiona likes her hats.

[TheChris92]

Started up a "What are you currently listening to?" group. It's open to anyone so feel free to share there if you like.

[LPPrince]

Honestly, I don't even care at this point. However it gets in their heads works.

 

I'd take talking with you guys over Bioware's games every day of the year.

[Ziegrif]

It's like we've been watching a car crash in slow motion.

A year long slow motion.

 

But really I do understand why they're doing this.

There's so much bad rep tied to BSN so burning it is basically the best thing to get rid of the rep.

[Vroom Vroom]

I didn't realize that Bioware was sold to Konami.

This. Very much this.

To answer a few questions:

 

We will continue to monitor how things go with these new changes and make future decisions based on the results.

 

For now, Off-Topic will remain closed. We understand (and as is evidenced by this thread) that this may upset some users, but our hope is this will create a stronger forum community in the long run. to those of you who are upset, please remember to express yourselves in ways that are respectful and in keeping with the terms of use of these boards. Anyone uttering threats or using excessively harsh and abusive language will receive moderation action.

 

Off-Topic discussions in other areas will be locked, and posters who are repeat violators or who are found to be purposefully derailing other areas will have their posting moderated. We will continue to allow master threads like the Twitter and Drinkquisition threads, that are slightly off-topic at times. That being said, people actively working to drive such threads further off-topic may start to receive moderation. Likewise, threads comparing BioWare titles to their contemporaries are also perfectly fine (though as always we do ask that people try to find an appropriate existing thread before starting a new one).

 

We are continuing to look at other changes to the forums (such as changes to groups) and ways we can improve the community as a whole, but nothing has been set as of yet. We want to see how these initial changes go first, and will decide what to do next from there.

Do you not see though that in doing this, you are destroying an already established strong community?
