#SAVETHEQUARIANS - DLC Support Hub

Lol ok ok. I am not trying to discourage anyone. I just wanted to know the reason behind the movement. But I won't derail this thread further. I'll go about my own business and play some online Gwent and then go and take care of some work related stuff. 

I'll be back when I find another reason to post something.  You enjoy yourself. 

Why does this bother you so much? Whether other fans engage in a supportive Twitter hashtag or not affects you personally in no way, shape, or form, so why, exactly, are you in this thread essentially trying to argue to people that it shouldn't be done?

Two articles were published saying that "sources" tell them no SP DLC will happen, you and suikoden have certainly seemed to make it your life's mission to argue against the folks here who enjoyed the game, and there was a ton of general Internet screeching about the game... so, I don't really find it surprising at all that people who enjoyed the game who now worry it might not get SP DLC are rallying behind a hashtag to at least show support. In the end, we are powerless to make EA say "yay" or "nay", but feeling like you at least tried to do something feels better than doing nothing at all.

You are painting the entire group of people as believing the game was a commercial success and DLC is guaranteed. Stop. Stop labeling whole groups of people as if they are one homogeneous hive mind. We don't know what the full sales numbers are, on either side of the fence. But we do know of the rumblings that were published, so that's a bit of a lightning rod, don't you think? 

As to the bolded, no idea what influence the hashtag might have for people who haven't bought MEA already, but I saw one person on Reddit reply to my thread saying that all the chatter about it was making him think of picking up the game to see it for himself, especially with the $20 promotion at GameStop.



As for why no movement after the ME3 ending debacle, well, I certainly cannot speak for every single person in the hashtag now versus what they were doing in their lives 5 years ago, but I was certainly unhappy that people were giving BioWare such a hard time. I was not on Twitter, but I was on the forum. And in response to all that backlash and because their game helped me through the grief of dealing with my mother's suicide, I wrote them a letter of support and mailed it to Edmonton. And they received it and sent back a sweet letter of their own as well as several unexpected gifts. So, I did my damn part the last time.

Been spreading around the #SaveTheQuarians with this image... great meme. Posted by Douglass Hart on Twitter.

Oh no, battle of Mods!

Aww, that's sweet. It reminds me of how Dragon Age: Inquisition helped me cope with my recovery after intense surgery. My face was bloated, I had to drink all of my food, my memory of the time is full of holes so that was a thing and the less said about my state of mind the better but that game along with my family helped distract me from the bad.

As corny as it sounds, that's the magic of stories be they games, books or television. No matter how bad things are, they can sometimes provide you with just the reprieve you need to get through the day. Make things just a little bit easier. Heh, I remember playing Inquisition late one night and feeling just so cheerful and refreshed the next morning despite having to go to school in my condition. What was especially amusing was that the part I'd played was the break-up scene between Solas and Lavellan I've always been a sucker for tragic romances as long as they're well-written so I guess it's not a surprise that it brighten my day. 

I'm sorry about your mum. That really sucks. A massive understatement, I know. I hope you're feeling better.   

Is this petition being sent to Bioware or EA? Because if it's the former then it's not much use (as they're not an independent stuido with money to burn) and if it's the latter, I can't see EA changing their minds about it if they had no plans for single player DLC.

Exactly. Even if the DLC were currently under development, whether it's the Quarian ark or something else, for months the dev's have faced nothing but the worst of responses. Maybe this is late in coming. Maybe a campaign of dev positivity has been needed to let these poor bastards, who've put in stupidly long hours, know that their work is appreciated.

Yeah, I don't think there's been enough of it. A dribble here and there, an occasional tweet to say "thank you", but not a united response that says "We love your damn game and we want more."

They heard from many people 5 years ago . . . I would argue this is much more serious, the whole franchise possibly not continuing, let alone the DLC.

Yes, I loved this game and hope for DLC - I just want to play even more of it.

Yes, just think if they only went with more comics or books instead of playable content ): Got to stay focused, I agree.

And yet the hashtag says exactly that, "we want more." Sometimes knowing that is enough for content creators, and those who employ them, to know that their work is appreciated. Ungrateful fucknuts don't ask for more. I'm not saying change the hashtag, I'm saying, yell it louder. Put it in all caps if you need to. Bold it. Parenthesize it. Underline it. Whatever, but let them know.

That is untrue. We created a fanbook after ME3 and people gave it to Patrick Weekes, because everyone was bashing the ME3 ending. Creating a book is more effort than signing a petition online.
