It just seemed like an ordinary sitcom to me, not really my cup of tea in general.

 

Though I liked Seinfeld.

 

I wonder if That 70s Show is boomer blackface.

[Il Divo]

It's one of those shows that would be a completely different experience without the laugh track.

 

Where do you think you'll be setting up after the closure, Il Divo?

 

Haha, that's the question. I was honestly going to go along with you guys, wherever most people ended up. I think I saw Dean mention you guys were gonna hit up Topshelf gaming. Would you recommend it?

This thread is on fire and all we've heard so far is "it's not about the money", "it was a hard decision" and "we will still solicit feedback". How can they afford to be silent right now? Was their plan "let's drop this bomb and then not log in again until the 26th"?

I'll say it again, the reason Conal Pierse gave is just insulting. You want to solicit fan feedback and yet, by your own admission, abandoned the place providing truckloads of feedback to engage fans on Twitter. ****** ridiculous.

Will I get banned for saying "******"? Oh ****, I said it again. Oh ****!

Damn me and my hair-trigger temper.

This is nothing compared to the nuclear holocaust of ME3's release (or rather, the next day when people began finishing it). They ignored that as much as they ignored this. Nothing except one insulting excuse (in that case, "we'll explain everything once everyone has had a chance to play").

I will say, this whole drama did teach me one interesting thing- that geeks hate Big Bang Theory and refer to it as 'geek blackface.'

 

I had no idea it inspired such passions.

Never seen it, but I generally distrust shows that have to prompt you when to laugh.

I'm still mad/disappointed. Basically because it feels like Bioware doesn't recognize the value of this place and hasn't for some time, all because the criticism after a couple of bad products they put out got to them.

 

If it was your work , you'd feel the same.

You can't ask Bioware employee to come in here and read all the negativity and be fine with it.They are humans with feelings and stuff.

But you can't ask of the forum to be a beacon of positivity .Bioware is not the little darlings of RPGs anymore.That crown seems to be going toward CPsomethingWitcherGuys.

DA2 reception was bad pretty much everywhere , ME3 well the ending...DAI was lukewarm at best.

Throw in there the fact that Bioware took some vague stance on the Gamergate/SJW stuff and yes , you get a volatile community.

There's no other way around it.

 

It seems to me Bioware didn't really navigate well the jump from small darling of RPG company (when internet wasn't this big ) to what they are today.A bigger company with a more rocky reputation.

Bethesda are way way more professional in their dealing with the public , yes it's impersonal , but first it protects their employee from angry internet mobs , and you don't hear Bethedas call their fan "toxic".

They got the community guy who's on twitter and take the bulk of the complain to his face , Todd Howard is the godlike figure who's good at selling their stuff , and also good at saying "sorry we screw up about this , we'll work on this" .Doesn't matter if he means it or not , people can believe that because he doens't tell the press the fans are giving him a nervous breakdown.There's nothing passive agressive going on.

The sad thing is there's more than just ME3 multiplayer data. Thousands of character profiles for DA:O and DA2 exist on the website, and at least 8k modding projects are hosted. I find it really hard to believe they're just going to nuke everything from orbit.

 

There must be some way to save some of the more important ME:MP threads.

[ModernAcademic]

A bit of a confession here: I just found out about the Bring Down the Sky DLC last week. So I installed and played it.

 

Then I rewatched that scene with Balak from ME3 (Batarian Access Codes quest) and read a confession somewhere on tumblr about how we never got to have a batarian squadmate.

 

Now I'm kinda upset, seeing as there were no batarians in the Andromeda trailer. I guess they've really been wiped out by the Reapers. But then again, even if some of them survived, the Council or the Alliance would hardly consider them qualified for the Ark project. Jerks.

To a lot of people, I would. However, it's not really big on lore discussion, and the tone gets rather anti-Bioware a lot of the time. Most of the people there were regulars in the off topic section, and there's still a lot of resentment for them closing that.

 

So, the short answer is, Sure. But only for certain things. I'm still looking for the right place to find my dose of character threads and semantics debates (which I know I'll miss when they're gone).

[Fallen_silver]

I heard from a friend that this was happening it is sad what makes the pain worse is that they chose to keep the SWTOR one online just cause the players there pay monthly fee and microtransactions. This shows us that EA greed is overtaken Bioware. RIP forums. To those who have made this place your home I feel your pain and sadness.

Gotcha. Regardless, keep me in the loop for where you do set up shop! It would be cool if we keep some semblance of the old forums together. And being honest, the semantics were my favorite too. Speaking of, where the hell is Alan?

[Hainkpe]

Dude, are you trying to make me cry? I miss the Woo, those were the days. 

Those were the days. Pre-migration and the old forums. People piling on topics and arguments raging with lots of snark and sarcasm. Once the new forums were up, it wasn't the same. I have barely been here since 2012. I think this is my fifth post this year? Sad to see it all gone.

I actually made a thread for networking between the various sites that are popping up.

 

https://forum.biowar...between-forums/

 

There's going to be fragmenting no matter what we do. Im hoping to avoid losing track of too many of the posters I follow.

 

Alan the Bioware employee or AlanC9?

 

I hope AlanC9 doesn't just disappear.

That's a little different though. The main character's a dog. You can always trust dogs.

On it! But yeah, I was thinking C9. I don't think he would pull a complete disappearing act on us.

And if you like mage/templar debates, I'm sure you'll enjoy debating with the fans that vehemently defend a terrorist monster because he's emo. And this is coming from a guy who loves Anders.

I realize the show was directed towards a general audience, but as a scientist, I honestly despise Big Bang Theory. On the other hand, I thought Stranger Things on Netflix was a great find that really hit home on the DnD jokes/experience. 

A scientist? 

 

Okay so can you explain to me what happened to poise in DS3?

[Lady Artifice]

On it! But yeah, I was thinking C9. I don't think he would pull a complete disappearing act on us. 

 

I was thinking the same thing. We need him, as well as all the other regulars in the lore debates. I also want to know where In Exile is going.

Sure, the heavy armor in DS1 and 2 were made of the high quality gundanium alloy, as showcased in the tv series Gundam Wing. They used a cheaper titanium alloy when they were designing the DS3 armor, which was why it's practically paper by comparison. 

[o Ventus]

Spoiler

I'm not sure of the specifics, but I believe he made some sort of comment on twitter about gamers being terrorists during the height of GamerGate. Which clearly didn't sit well with CDPR when they were gearing up to release Witcher 3 and their 'community manager' just compared their customers to ISIS.

 

Welp, time to learn to speak Polish so I can try to get hired by CDPR. Seriously, everything I hear about them makes me like them more and more.

[Il Divo]

He was on a few pages ago, I have always loved the fact he doesn't have an avatar. There must be a story there, somewhere.

 

It's the end of days. Now's the time for sharing.

Okay now translate this to me in American.

I don't know him but I think I saw some posts by him yesterday.
