New Community Team Memory Lane

Hi folks, that goal is still very much in place. However, there have been recent changes to our team that have affected these initial plans that I laid out back in May, making them a bit more difficult to accomplish. I will have more to say about our future plans shortly, though. I appreciate your patience and know that good changes are still coming down the pipeline in regards to communication.

The lack of transparency and communication from Bioware is the only thing that bothers me about this game. One of the main reasons why this community is so bad is because we're left to speculate about every unsubstantiated opinion or rumor that comes along, and all we come up with are conspiracy theories and worst case scenarios.

I don't give a **** about the F2P rumors, or the current subscriber numbers, or any of the terrible "issues" some people think this game has, I'd just like to what's going on with this game I'm paying for. What's coming up, what's being worked on, what issues are they facing, how are they dealing with them. Stuff like that.

I think the word you want is inept, maybe bumbling, crappy management. I can't honestly say I was lied to. I may have had expectations that were not met, but I don't personally feel I was lied to. Just my 2¢.

My guess would be this is a calculated marketing decision. They will withhold as much information as possible leading up to the launch of guild wars and then starting August 10th they will put 1.4 on the PTS with plans on launching it on the 24th to compete with GW2. They will then unload all this massive backlog of information on upcoming content and etc in order to overload the player base and keep them away from GW2.

I could be wrong, but considering how important marketing has been to the decision making process of BW and EA so far, that would be my guess.

Changes to their teams and the layoffs probably play a part in it, but have most likely affected the TIMING of plans more than the actual content of plans.

Well, with that announcement, NOW would be the time to be in full force presence on the forum. Explaining even if its redundant, and reassuring concerns.
