I don't think anyone has been to the offical Bethesda Forums before, or in many ages. What other company is under more magnified scrutiny for sheer incompatence and lousy business practices at the moment? Fallout 76 releasing as probably the most broken AAA game of all time, and now Elder Scrolls Blades being a shitty, greed fueled P2W mobile game? And yet, they actually moderate their forums, things remain civil. Do Bethesda developers post there? No, not really. But the Community Guys do. They don't let the fans control the narrative on their own forum. Bioware never cared about moderating BSN, never. The ONE guy they did have who actually moderated (Stanley Woo I think it was?) was an arrogant asshole who antagonisted users constantly. Hey now, Chris Priestly was perfect capable of being an ass as well Ah, "Evil" Chris Priestly. Somehow I was able to block him from my memory. To this day I've never seen a more antagonistic Offical Community Manager.

And they obviously didn't care to pay for toxicity when they can get it for free on Twitter/Reddit/Facebook. They also have official EA and SWTOR forums still if people want to vent there. Unlike Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook they are free to do things about it on their own forums. It is the community manager's job. If they choose not to put in the effort required, I'm not interested in their sob story. No other company has this problem.

"We have heard your concerns around end game loot. We agree that our loot and progression systems need to be improved and we are working towards this. When we have more information to share, we will."
This is honestly depressing. This is seriously all they have to say on the games most critical issue atm? Do they still have no idea what the hell to do about this? Are they just sitting around waiting for their new "Loot Expert" employee to tell them what they should be doing? Can you guys not even tell us what you hope to accomplish here, while stressing theres no promise of getting there? Just give us an idea, prove to us you have a vision, a plan to address this.
I'm honestly on the verge of just not playing this anymore Bioware. No matter how fun the combat is, I can no longer just keep running into the Brick Wall that is "Legendary Loot Drops" and getting nothing for my efforts. There is no purpose, no reason for me to keep playing. There is no incentive Bioware, and the fact that such a crucial aspect of a game driven my cosmetic microstransactions is missing, and you still apparently have no clue how to fix it, is simply a bad sign.

Well so much for team play i.e. weakness and strengths so all I have to do is change out my gear during play when I find I'm lacking sorry but that's BS and not to mention I don't have to go to the fort for anything? again BS, I think I'm done I don't like being cratered to because of those who don't want to play as the game was intended to be played sorry but if you suck you suck so get good or leave don't do me any favors cause your not what a bunch of wimps
It lessens the immersion for the role-player but adds convenience for the grinder. Maybe, once new story content arrives we'll have a reason to walk the fort again but I do see it as an erosion of the spirit of that side of the game.
The gear changing adds a new dimension for tactics, choosing the right stuff for the right section of the stronghold, but it makes no sense in-game and, even gameplay-wise, I can't help thinking it makes the choices too easy now you don't actually have to compromise on anything.
Unfortunetly, given Schrier's article, I don't think Austin shared Edmenton's vision of blending single player story stuff with online co-op game. I suspect Austin is not really going to focus on Tarsis or anything related to it for the forseeable future. Also everyone I speak to in person and online, I see the same thing far more often than not. No one cares about Fort Tarsis. No one ever wants to go there, and see it as nothing more than a stupid feature that just shouldn't be there. Everyone until now would just go to the Launch Bay to avoid it entirely. Maybe that attitude would change with a significant story update, but I don't see that happening anytime soon given the games current litany of more serious concerns. To be honest here lately I've avoided it myself, because there currently really is zero reason to be there. You can't talk to anyone anymore, all you could do was grab the contracts off the board. It simply lead to more loading screens at this point in time. Sure, me being an RPG player at my core, it bothers me when changes like this are made. it makes no sense logically to be able to magically change your equipment in the middle of the forest. But heres the thing. We, as RPG players, don't have to use that feature. Will we still have to deal with other players going AFK to change things? Yes, unfortunetly that is simply a reality of online gaming I've come to live with after playing MMOs for so many years.

Yes, assuming maintenance is done as scheduled at noon Central, then people will have 3 hours to explore before the livestream. Omg if they find glaring bugs in those 3 hours, that livestream is going to be toxiiiiiiiiic. *fingers crossed* I think the stream will be toxic regardless. Because this update does almost nothing to address the core Loot problems of the game, which, as a Looter Shooter, is the games most pressing issue currently. I honestly believe until Bioware finally once and for all addresses and deals with the games broken Loot system, everything they do will be met with cynicism and toxicity.

If you did the normal main and side quests, the XP was pretty normal. I never felt a grind. The money and XP boosts felt like "fine, you really don't want to play this game as intended, do you? Here, you can pay for this and be done with it" as opposed to something like "Shadow of War" where the end game grind made me stop and never come back. uhm..check again, there is a very detailed video showing you exactly how if you just do the main quest you are always behind the curve...BUUUUUT if you buy that permanent xp boost you are always on point and don't need to grind I'm sorry, but your response was not addressing the reality of samhain's post. Because as someone who gladly put 154 hours, before the DLC, into AC:O. I can safely say you did not need a single booster of any sort to have a fun experience, provided your not trying to rush through the game by only doing the Main Missions.

I mean, it sounds like Casey was the original anchor for stability and purpose. He was clearly thought of extreamly highly by his co-workers to basically be compared to Jean Luc Picard. I don't think I can ever emotionally forgive Casey for ME3....but if he can truly turn this stuido back around, into a healthy, happy work enviroment that goes back to making good products?....
Then maybe....just maybe...

Unlike MEA, Anthem (being the game it is), with its generally praised core gameplay, has way more of a chance to actually turning things around. And we know such things can be turned around because there are many games on today's market that were poorly received only to turn out really good/popular over years. We also know that Bioware's previous online title, SWTOR, didn't begin to make money for year or two (or more?) after it was released... but when it did, it earned EA over 1 billion dollars. Now that a studio that has experience with big online games is at a helm and Edmonton is able to take a breath, it's likely a good time to make reassessments and changes. Will anything change? ... Well, if it does, I don't think we're going to hear that much about it and it's definitely not something that is going to happen overnight. It's an internal matter we aren't going to be much privy to, aside from scraps and pieces that find their way to social media feeds or articles. I don't expect much to happen publicly - I have a feeling Bioware would prefer to lick its wounds privately and focus on 'speaking' through their games. I think it all comes down to whether EA thinks the game is profitable enough. Obviously ME:A wasn't. We'll see if Anthem did any better, though I doubt it. I have no reservation whether Austin can turn it around, I'm just not confident Anthem will survive that long and whether it will still be relevant when it does. First impressions mean a great deal.
Maybe Edmonton will wake up from this and fix itself, but at any rate, I am coming to the realization that Bioware is done with me and others similar minded. Even if they turn around and make great games again, I don't think they will offer me an experience to fall in love again with their games, like Baldur's Gate 2, KotoR and Mass Effect 2. I think my days are done, which makes me sad, because if Bioware isn't interested in giving me the gaming experience I want, there's definitely nobody else out there that will. I just want to go back, to before ME3.

I know one thing for sure, I sure hope Bioware will be mentally prepared for the Chat of their next Livestream, because idk wtf is going to happen.
Oh.? Do you really believe they will hold another one?
Besides, I can mentally picture total deflection to any embarrassing questions.
they've already publicly promised another one to showcase upcoming content. The public perception of not going through with that is the exact opposite of what the company needs right now.

Is it too late to invest in corn? Because pop-corn is about become more rare than gold. Don't you mean rarer then diamonds? Diamonds actually aren't rare, De Beers simply hoardes the giant mountain of diamonds they own and trickle them out to create artifical scarcity.

They got years to learn lessons...oh, wait, they had years to learn the same lessons from SWTOR...Third time the charm? To be fair, it sounds like Austin badly wanted to implement lessons learned from SWTOR, and Edmonton said fuck off. I honestly never expected the "A" Team to actually see themselves as such, and treat the rest of the company as inferior....so disappointing. Hopefully...finally...progress can be made.

So... It seems clear to me that the vast majority of BioWare's management and internal leadership is truly, unfathomably incompetent, save for Darrah and (probably) Hudson. That seems like a far bigger problem than the Frostbite engine to me. I mean, when you switch to a looter-shooter model, you have to look at what such games did wrong or well by principle, and the fact that they (meaning the leadership) practically buried their heads in the sand as far as Destiny went outright shows that they're definitely unsuited for developing this kind of game. And games in general, probably. As far as the decision to use Anthem's codebase for DA4 goes... I'll withhold final judgment until that game's actually released. For now, I can only say it'll either save them a lot of work by adding to it, or it may be the killing blow for DA4. For some reason or another... I don't really have any idea what this news implies, but if anyone can shed some light on it, I'd appreciate it. However, I still have some degree of cautious optimism for DA4 because of Darrah's involvement (as this article proves, he can get shit done). Honestly, heres the thing. People need to chill about DA4 using Anthems codebase. Bioware needs to stop going back to Zero every time. The entire point of using all your games on One Engine is to compile assets, tools, code etc to help make developing all your future titles easier and cheaper. That was originally the point of EA making all their teams use Frostbite. The problem was they didn't order DICE to overhaul Frostbite to make sure it's suitable as a universal engine before dropping that mandate down. Cooperating assets and tools across studios is a frankly ingenious idea. They are just failing epicly at DOING that. As much shit as Betheda gets for their clunky ass Creation Engine...at least get this right lol.

It's much more likely that a dev will have a stroke or heart attack from the stress Than be murdered by a fan. Jason's article helps ameliorate this by exposing bad practices. Come to think of it um..Corey Gaspur. Do anyone know what was his cause of death? Um no? that information was respectfully withheld from the public.

"the next Dragon Age will be built on Anthem’s codebase." "Dragon Age Inquisition" was released 4 years ago and had static areas who's environment was constant, not to mention you are building it likely for the next gen of consoles. You are thinking "Anthem Age" with CO-OP and mages flying about to instanced encounters...likelier they just want to stop reinventing the wheel every game In some ways, it's also kinda funny because if the DA4 team is using Anthems codebase, it also means they could encounter the same problems Anthem has, or they could fix the problems it already has. "Hey, here's what's wrong with your loot system" lol Oh god...DA4 with Anthems loot system?....-shiver-

So *cracks knuckle*. Guess whose raised their head again? Anyways knowing him bioware did the right thing and furthermore their response was bang on. A. All he has is anomonys sources. No quotes, no names, no nothing. B. "Former employees" are kind of a questionable source to begin with since they have an axe to grind. C. Which he seems to have one of those against bioware for some reason. That and some of the other things he has done makes me both question him and Kotaku for employing him. Anyways *shrugs* we'll just have to see who is right but looking from the outside once again the media looks like they are trying to create a story rather then report on one. Right, like any developer is going to commit career suicide by publicly outing themselves...

Do you think the developers of FF14 had good morale after their broken, poorly planned game was raked over the coals? Of course not. I would be more disturbed if they did. But they also owed up to their mistakes, apologized profusely (some would argue too strongly) and vowed to make it right... You don't need to publicly flog your own employees obviously, no one should ever do that, under no circumstances. But neither should you possibly make public reception of you worse by what can be interpreted as being dismissive of a journalist doing what he is paid to do. Get to the truth. But people don't like truth, because truth hurts. That implies that people care about games journalists. Caring about journalists is not required to understand this is the job of one. Thats ignoring all the great work journalists of -actual- news has done across time, like Boston Spotlight revealing the sick cover up of catholic priests. Digging for the truth is what they do, and to hell with anyones feelings. If people get their feelings hurt because a reporter aired dirty laundrey about them...then maybe they shouldn't be doing things that are considered condemable by some?

No, I worded it that way because at even a hint of a perceived slight against his work he goes in a rant at them about it for not recognizing his genius. Remember the Andromeda drama. I remember everyone implying Jason was a hack who would never produce a single thing regarding Andromeda's development, because he was just part of the angry mob making things up and dogpileing on poor little Andromeda.

Indeed, Bioware themselves throwing people under the bus publicly would not change anything in a positive way...but leaving the people responsible for this toxic work enviroment in place is a great way to continue to repeat the same mistakes, imo. Perhaps, organizational changes might be needed, or may have already occurred for all I know. I'm just saying, a public blog post isn't the place for it and wouldn't be very professional or good for morale. Do you think the developers of FF14 had good morale after their broken, poorly planned game was raked over the coals? Of course not. I would be more disturbed if they did.

I don't doubt Schreier is telling the truth, I had a feeling this might have been the case that Andromeda's issues where not limited to just Andromeda. But I have to agree that throwing gasoline onto the fire with a divisive response that might be interpreted by some as blame or throwing specific employees under the bus isn't what is needed from leadership at this point--especially if company culture and morale is as poor as it is. Actions speak louder than words, and that's really what is needed, implementing the changes necessary to turn things around and keep their current projects on track. Indeed, Bioware themselves throwing people under the bus publicly would not change anything in a positive way...but leaving the people responsible for this toxic work enviroment in place is a great way to continue to repeat the same mistakes, imo.

In fact, anyone who allows and/or perpetuates this type of awful work enviroment does not deserve a job in this field anymore, imo. IDC if they never work again. Anyone who does this has no business being a manager of people.
And anyone who defends the above people, can piss up a rope.

Yes, how dare he call out stuidos for working developers like slaves because their bosses can't make up their damned minds about their project until the last minute? How dare he call out awful, reprehensible business practices that lead many employees to take extended leave because they can't take the work enviroment. How dare he... Will you be satisfied when finally someone will kill their first dev? Will you be satisfied when someone will finally kill himself because years ago he made mistakes and wasn't able to find a job anymore and the internet keep haunting him?
Keep defending bullshit like this and devs WILL die, you fool. What Bioware did to these developers is fucking unacceptable. Anyone who has the gall to get upset by someone calling out disgusting crap like this is not interested in peoples well being, no matter what they say.

Jesus christ...I'm so tired of my cynical thoughts towards this studio being right. Just as I suspected, they didn't have a clue what to do. and as usual, Frostbite sucks for anything that isn't an FPS game....sigh. This was almost, verbatum, the story of FF 14 1.0 again....this is not the type of story you should ever see more than once... Also ofc, in typical EA fashion, all they cared about was stupid graphics.... It's also almost verbatim what happened to FFXV - too many grand ideas that weren't workable, tied up in preproduction way too long, physics engine that gave the dev team hell. The difference was Square still gave the dev team a matter of years to make the game. If anything...XV's problem was Nomura, just like KH3's problem (imo) was Nomura....
