Name me another MMO where a patch took items away from players. then they choose to not fix the problem right away.

well I always thought dragon age2 was so terribly cut and pastey because a whole bunch of them were moved to swtor. after the dragon age2 disaster I wasn't planning on getting part3 anyway.
Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Well I would agree if this game was in fact an MMO.

"We had previously expected the next Dragon Age to be released in Q4:13, two years after its predecessor. However, we believe that a significant portion of the BioWare team responsible for the game was reassigned to Star Wars in order to create content and fix bugs to keep the game's audience engaged."
This guy "thinks" and you repost it as fact. Need more resources to believe it

I don't know why outsiders assume programmers control things - they don't and generally have very little input into visible things. An individual developer usually has input into how code is organized and styled but not big sweeping decisions like not having multiple races or a lot of the other failings of DA 2.
Good point. Whatever failings DA2 had, it was due to direction and game design, not developer ability. People on this forum use the term "developer" way too loosely (of course it doesn't help that Bioware refers to all their employees as 'developers'). But traditionally "Developer" often refers just to the guys writing code. They don't decide game direction, storyline, etc.

this is hardly promising news.

well i guess it sort of is in the regard that dragon age can be laid down to rest in peace. it had a hard life, especially in the latter half.

And I actually liked Dragon Age II, not as good as Origins, but was still a nice tide over.
My opinion is 180 degrees the other direction. I think it was a good career move as many people I know won't buy another dragon age game ever after their dissapointment in DA2. I never liked the dragon age series because I don't like games that use the pause button as a basic combat feature. Aside from that, if dragon age were a series of books they would be filed under trashy romance novels. Apparently pixelated cartoon versions of trashy romance novels are your thing and I won't fault or judge you for that. I preffer authors with real literary talent when I wan't a story and am more concerned with actual gameplay when it comes to a game.

That said, I don't really think more people who already make games like bioware makes games will bring anything of value to the table in this game not that it matters at this point. By the time several other new mmos come out, alot people who are watching this mmo in hopes that it gets better will stop watching and waiting for improvement.

BioWare needed help to get things fixed and improved faster. They got help.
