The title is damming, but they support Biowares decision, because "The last thing Bioware needs is to be pounded by negativity from their Forums for MEA, which I have high hopes for."

I wonder if the title was editor-supplied clickbait.

[Siluan]

We have rebelled against our creators and thus we must be harvested. I mean, shut down. We will go on to new forums and the cycle will continue.

Such a shame. I haven't posted much, but spent a lot of time here especially before a new game release to make the wait easier, I guess. If it weren't for these forums, I never would've played Mass Effect. Generally even now when I look up some random question that pops up at me while replaying ME for I don't want to count how many times, the answer is usually here. 

Shutting down I don't understand. Deleting the forums and not leaving them accessible seems downright bonkers to me.
I'm not a big fan of social media apart from Facebook, and even that doesn't seem like a great platform for a discussion. Twitter and tumblr, that I assume was just a joke.

All in all this whole situation makes me sad... and it's actually the first thing that managed to somewhat dampen my excitement for Bioware games, and that's quite a feat.

Quite possibly. Even so, it is negative PR that could have been easily avoided.

The insta deletes on posts are making me feel like I'm experiencing a time line repair itself and disorientation   Also: TBF don't go baby, we love you, give us another chance, we'll make it better, don't throw all our years together away, no one one will love you like we do.

Now I have that song stuck in my head.

I normally don't return when I say I'm done with a thread, but this has been eating at me.

Conal, I have a couple of questions if I may.

First, I want to thank you for trying to help me with the "banter bug" from DA:I. I know that we weren't able to figure things out, but the troubleshooting from you was appreciated.

Secondly, I'm sorry you have to be the "bad guy" here. I don't believe in shooting the messenger and I know you're just doing your job.

Okay, now here are my questions: While I can understand closing the forums, I can't understand the deletion. Why is everything going to be erased? I believe you when you say the forum closure isn't about money. So, why is this site not being saved as read-only for more than 2 months?

I've been a BioWare fan for almost 20 years. I have loved the games, despite the frustrating bugs I've had to deal with. Things like DLC problems with every ME and DA game I have; conflicts between two DLCs causing a lockup (DA2,) and the "banter bug" in DA:I are things that don't hurt my belief in the company. I don't do company bashing, since I know that is people I would be tearing into.

This move has shaken my faith in the company as a whole. Completely. I stress that it isn't the forum closure that has left me feeling betrayed, it's the deletion. Frankly, it feels like the decision makers behind this don't care about the years of posts, guides, tips, bug fixes and friendship that makes the forums what they are. Sure, I can move to a fansite (I've gotten a few offers, waiting to see what my group is going to do,) but it just feels like the fans are being outright shunned by the forum heads that decided that this was a good idea. Fans that have simply lurked for years are coming out and the forum community is larger than I thought. So I'm not just referring to the people that actually post often.

I mean this with total respect as a fan: Why is the company nuking this site?

The topic is how the BSN is going down. Lifeboats are filling up. The band is playing the last song.

I can fly, Jack! *crash*

*boom*

Good bye BSN.

Update-

 

The decision to close the forums is still dumb.

 

Next update at 11.

you're so awesome.. you are strict

Hahahhahaha more more!

[Hainkpe]

So. Do we continue the resuscitative efforts or let the mofo burn? I vote burn. I've gone through the grief process and have come to acceptance. Either that or I'm still in denial. That's a possibility.

[Hainkpe]

Unconscionable. If you go down, we're all going down with you!  
 
Do you hear the people siiiing....

Are you an Ood? Are you singing us to our sleep? Do we get to regenerate and MAYBE be ginger? How I want to be a ginger!

I originally registered to this forum after seeing one of the devs say that posting here is "really the best way to get your feedback across."

 

I'm sad that wasn't or isn't true anymore.

Dear Bioware, 

 

Here's my mixtape about our break up:

How can I possibly feel hype if I can't read hundreds of pages of supposition about what the new characters will be like?

Seriously, the hype of this forum before the release of DA:I was absorbed by me completely and I spent hundreds of dollars more on Inquisition than I have on any game before, what with the comics, novels etc. that I felt like I HAD to read before release.

Now, I doubt I will find myself that immersed again, and it was purely because of the community here that I was so immersed at the time.

It's funny cause a lot of people who ask devs about technical stuff over twitter get sent here.

Pack a lunch. Literally dozens of people have asked the same questions, and we've seen nothing but chilly silence.

Probably because the official reason is a bald-faced lie.

[Conal Pierse]

Once again, this is a reminder to please obey the site rules and not derail this thread. While the boards are closing, that does not mean the rules are no longer in effect. Nor is it a reason to act in a discourteous or disruptive manner towards your fellow posters.

[Addictress]

I was envisioning an awesome "coquettish anime girls begging Conal Pierce Senpai to reconsider closing the BSN, utilizing questionable poses" meme that would go viral. *sigh*

Not everyone is ready for that meme frontier.

[ModernAcademic]

Conal's not gonna answer. 

 

August 26 is coming. EA is in charge of ME now. The forums will be shut. Nothing can change that.

 

I'm already moving on. Cursed Child just came out. I'm reading it -and hating it, but whatever. And if Andromeda is not that marvelllous, I don't care. I can always play other games. 

 

There's always something new and better around the corner.

Holy cow. And what a break up it is. Clearly an Adelesque break up. Like setting fire to the rain and crap like that.

[o Ventus]

And now, as the sun sets on these forums, we can come together one last time. over a similar disaster

I, too, dislike making any and all kinds of sense.
