I know the feel Fidite my man.

 

Its past 3AM, same as it was yesterday. 

 

I don't know what I'm doing.

 

Yeah dude, it IS late for you. Best rest(unless you're gonna pull an all nighter, I won't  :P). If you're hitting the bed, cheers tho! And keep on sharing your opinion when you can friend.

The silence is a big a indication it is. You and others can try of course. But I think many just don't have the time or energy for it. I sure don't. 

 

In case you didn't see what was posted earlier, Conal(who can actually help us as the community manager) is currently at PAX. We are likely to not hear anything or see any changes until PAX concludes. So I'd wait before we jump to the conclusion that they're looking at this and choosing not to connect with us.

^Fixed That For You(I can do it too!  :lol: )

 

 

To be honest, I don't do this for everyone. I do this for myself because I would rather not lose the connections I've made in which are about as close to friends as it gets on the internet. I'm no saint ... in fact I'd laugh in the face of the first person that would call me such or anything like it. I do this for very egoistic reasons, it's just that it so happens that a lot more people would likewise benefit from it.

 

And now I'm really going to bed, I need to sleep.

After seeing some of the immediate effects of this change, it might actually have been for the better.

Hmmm. Time will tell if this can work in the long term. 

:mellow:

 

What immediate effects were those? People leaving the community? That's not what I'd call better.

Yeah I don't get it either. If things hadn't changed we'd not be in this thread, at least not talking about the removal of off topic and disconnect we feel with management. Instead we'd be all over the forum talking about whatever comes to mind. And as for the hundreds who posted in this thread, we'd be in off topic, smiling and laughing and having a grand time with one another.

 

Sounds like something we should go back to.

Reminds me, if someone has $20 to spare so I can play the newest DLC for Inquisition, that'd be great.

 

So definitely not worth $20.

I think this is all a lost cause. Bioware doesn't care anymore.

Clearly not what they meant. They are implying our response is immature and shutting it down was the right decision.

I mean if you're gonna stay up, the conversation can keep going. Here, PMs, wherever. I've received a ton of PMs the last three days.

Do you know how unbelievably happy it makes me to even see you pop your head in here?

Well I'm still pretty upset about how this all went down. 

Plus, solidarity.  Lurking in this thread does no one any good.  BW should know how many people have been affected.

 

I'm over at the VSN now, but I'm still having a hard time keeping up with friends, and more importantly, it's a pretty self-selecting group.  I don't have the opportunity to meet other people who happen to wander by with shared interests and new perspectives and fun things to introduce me to.  I'm still shocked that off topic was shut down and I haven't figured out how to handle it.  This used to be a one stop shop for me, now I'm maintaining a presence here and trying to follow everyone else over in the alternate forums.  Can't blame you for holding out.  I miss the community we had here and it's nice to have another place to go for it.

The value would be in what was being brought by the people that left? Signal to noise is better at the cost of a small number of insightful posts.

I'm pretty sure I'm making a straight up factual statement when I claim that the overwhelming majority of people reacting to this have been civil and mature about it. Certainly many have been very visibly angry, but not exaggeratedly so. Of course there are a few who just chose to fling some mud and vent or make some snide jokes, but this thread has been very civil for the most part.

I mean dang, I may have to stop posting here now. Apparently people are getting the wrong impression of my intentions here. *shrugs*

 

I really don't want to take a vacation and see if things have changed when I come back, but who knows what'll happen. I'm holding out as much as possible because as I told Earthbound before, its not just the relationships we all formed together here in the past or the ones we have now;its about people in the future that are gonna miss opportunities to make lasting friendships because the BEST place for it got sacked.

 

I can't imagine not knowing all the people I've grown to love here.

Disclaimer: Currently on a treadmill so won't be able to post much or clearly

I am going onto the new IP, my role is a technical analyst. Meaning I work on mainly programmer backed work instead of designer systems. Generally DLC is focused on design backed work so the work I am best at is not really present. The type of work I am best at is what is needed on the new IP. For the last 2 months on DA:I I have been jumping around to most things we are doing. So there is much less for me to do. This kind of thing happened on Mass Effect 3, where the type of work I do dwindled to very little and I spent my time doing other things.

Better yet, I'll let you know if anything changes. More productive that way, even if it takes more time.

Cheer up, here's a sock.

You made me laugh :)

 

Let's face it , if they were gonna fix the tons of bugs , they would've done already , the last patch was all MP content , the SP stopped being priority long time ago.

Oh, I know. I'm not optimistic. I think the last two patches have been MP only, actually. It just makes me sad. These days it seems like games are more bug-ridden from being rushed, but patching is not upped accordingly. Or at least enough. If they spent a little longer fixing these things before release, they wouldn't need so many patches!
