Manveer Heir auto blocked me on twitter for sending a tweet to Andre Vu telling him to remain strong and not give in and change their artwork.

Hey at least he was kind enough to block you. There are also auto mute bots.

Well, this is a real shame. I will miss this place with it’s unique combination of emotions, logic and illogic, weirdness and nerdiness, intellectualism and silliness, honesty and trolling. One thing is clear, there will be no substitute.

I was wondering when you'd have the opportunity to chime in, Fob. Your post articulates my thoughts (and I'm sure, others) exactly. I didn't bother, since, well, it's blatantly obvious BioWare doesn't care.

 

So, thanks for taking the time to post, and see you around the toolset forums

I don't know if I was auto blocked or he blocked me personally. lol!

Wow what an insular pickle

[phagus]

You know that "bug" where you get where there's a mission on Aequitas but there's nothing there? It's not a bug. I went through ME2 once and saved that mission for last. I made two saves: one where Shepard did this mission and one where he didn't. Then I played through ME3, all the way, with each save. Guess what? Aequitas only blinks in ME3 if you went there in 2. It's the Reaper artifact there, Shepard is being compelled to go back to it. How long was he around it? Like, 30 seconds of shooting husks? That was enough to be compelled long term.
 

Wow! Even after all these years and in the dying days of this forum, I'm still learning stuff about ME.

So many insular pickles at Bioware (like, individuals) that it's getting hard to find a single cool, respectable, down-to-earth individual in Bioware.

 

Oh, I guess Jos is cool. And Conal is *possibly* on a leash and not willfully a pickle of his own accord, since his tweets seem pretty nice so far.

One of many reasons to miss the official forums. I lost count of the amount of times I learned stuff about the games that I had missed while playing, just from lurking here.

You can't find that on Twitter.

Or 4chan, reddit, Facebook. Still sad that they're closing this forum......

If there's one thing Bioware has taught me, it's how important it is to stand up for Artistic Integrity

Isn't it curious that no one from official Bioware has suggested 4chan?

4chan ?   Wouldn't that one be like a suicide for them to suggest anybody to visit 4chan's DAG or MEG ?

I don't think any employee of BioWare even goes there, they must avoid this place as it was radioactive.

Yesterday I bought Telltale's Batman game for my laptop and I assumed it would work fine because TWAU, TWD, and GoT all worked fine so like an idiot I didn't check the system requirements before I bought it and of course it didn't work right and was all "laggy" and kept crashing. After about half an hour of updating drivers and trying various things to see if I could get it to work I sent them an email asking if it was possible to get a refund (and explained my situation) so I could get it for the Xbone instead and if not it was no problem because it was my own fault. Well today I came online and they had given me a refund no questions asked and no hoops to jump through. I am not used to this level of customer service! lol

Yes sad indeed. Part of the fun of replaying the games was to see the stuff you missed and heard about on here. And no you can't find that on twitter, but worryingly I think you can on YouTube, removing the need to buy or play them entirely..

Yeah. They suggested Reddit, a veritable wild west, where you can be crucified by a crowd of anonymous users. Not much of a difference from 4chan. Not to mention Twitter, where trolling is even worse.

 

Bioware is in for a surprise if Andromeda doesn't satisfy the players' expectations. Now that the forums will be nuked, where do they think players will seek them out to complain about the game?

 

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show. Worst decision ever. At least the forums' discreet nature allowed the company to keep criticism away from the spotlight. Now they'll have to prepare themselves to receive an avalanche of angry players twitting and PMing them straight in their official Twitter accounts, in plain sight for the whole world to see.

Doesn't matter.  They can just block or mute anyone who dares raise a protest and live in a nice echo chamber.

Yep. I can tell you some more if you'd like.

AFAIK, I'm the only one that's noticed this because I've never been able to find it mentioned anywhere. Ridiculously obscure lore error. In LoTSB, Thane's dossier mentions that his preferred method of killing krogan involves snapping their neck. But they don't have a spine. In the Revelations novel, Karpyshyn talks about krogan anatomy briefly and he mentions that impulses sent in the central nervous system for most species is sent in the blood supply for krogan. Any paralyzation has to come from blood loss and even then it's temporary since they'll regenerate the blood quickly.

You know Javik's line when discussing what it'll take to beat the Reapers? The one about the ashes of a trillion dead souls. I could be wrong, but IMO... I think it's subtext from the devs. "Does this unit have a soul?" They're almost certainly the only species that numbers in the trillions because each geth is hundreds of programs, they wonder about whether they have a soul, and you need to kill them to stop the Reapers.

The control ending is referred to in the game's internal files as "End_Choice_BadA". I don't know why this isn't brought up more often in argument about the ending.

Jack's tattoos seem ridiculous? Turns out, it's realistic. Kind of. Abuse and rape victims often get a lot of tattoos because they're subconsciously trying to reassert control of their body.

You know how there's the Freudian analysis about how we build things that are shaped like penises because subconsciously apparently it's all we think about? The Washington Monument, for instance? ... Take a look at an asari dreadnought and tell me what you see.

Adjutants, those things on Omega. The codex talks about how the end form doesn't look like any known species and they must be some species the Reapers wiped out long ago. Take a look at an adjutant, now take a look at the statues on Ilos. The species they're based off is the Prothean's Protheans: the Isunannon.

The Heretic Station in ME2? Matriarch Benezia's hat.

When Aria is killing General Petrovsky, her eyes turn black momentarily. This spawned the theory that she's an ardat-yakshi because their eyes turn black when killing also. But the truth is much simpler and kind of messed up. Their eyes also turn black during the mind meld thing, right? Which is the asari equivilent of sex. Aria's eyes went black because she enjoyed killing him so much that, in human terms, she had an orgasm.

Liara crawling around the vents on Mars. It serves a purpose. You just came from Earth, where Starbrat disappeared into a vent. This was BW telling the player "yes, we understand that moving around in vents is noisy as hell." Yet he disappeared without a sound. Huh.

In Grunt's LoTSB dossier, you find out he's a big fan of Hemingway. But he deleted one book while he kept the others. Strange. Actually, that book involves a stillbirth. Kind of a touchy subject for krogan.

Both on and off topic:

 

I don't know if it's strange, but I'm not even able to enjoy the Olympics like usual because the BSN will

Spoiler

 

So the BSN should totally stay, because this Annulment thing is ruining my buzz.

 

I'm also now tempted to change my avatar to a dog-giraffe, for some reason...

If you had a similar email exchange with EA, you'd have been politely told they were very sorry, but there was nothing they could do from their end, and that you would need to purchase a second copy for the XBone.

Immediately after hitting send on that email, the EA rep would be like...

Now that is interesting. I hadn't heard about this either. I wonder if they were planning a follow up mission that was cut due to lack of time?

And the books he had finished reading were "For whom the Bell Tolls" about the brutality of the Spanish Civil War and 'the Old Man and the Sea" about a fisherman's struggle with an enormous marlin.  Both of which would appeal to a krogan.

They really need to archive these threads, as well as the DA ones. When I was just starting Origins, frustrated with the combat, it was the forums that helped me. Not Twitter or Facebook.
