Petition to the Devs to leave us in a blaze of glory: Release everything left to us at once.

I still can’t believe they messed up the MP side of things so bad. The formula was so simple to follow from ME3MP. I expected them to just build on that but nope, they went backwards. I won’t reopen too many negatives but I remember first week playing with randoms and everybody asking why they can’t pull enemies from cover lol.

On top of that, the kits were so generic. This wasn’t surprising but I was expecting some MP DLC, not this 1 character release with a crappy 30 second APEX video. When they dropped the first one I then knew it was over. I tried to ignore my instinct but in the back of my mind I knew the quality wasn’t there. I was having flashbacks of N7 Shadow, Slayer, Geth, Captain America dude, Hawkeye dude, etc etc. I thought we would get kits like that again with awesome trailers (my favorite from ME3 was Retaliation).but nope. Such a bummer.

Last thing... I tried to get back into MEAMP a few times. I recently played last week but I couldn’t even find a game for almost 10 minutes and then I looked at my collections....... just way too much to unlock and the chances of me getting the things I want is too low. It’s just too overwhelming for me. Blaze of Glory for me would be increasing the drop rates, lowering the cost of packs and items that cost mission funds. Let the few players they have left get a chance to max out builds, try all the different kinds of weapons, etc. That would be nice but it’s very unlikely to happen. The more I think about it, the more disappointed I get. I was so excited before launch, bragged to my friends how fun MP would be. Now I feel stupid. Everybody I know dropped the game, barely can find games with randoms and the loot pool is so big that everything feels out of reach ;-( sad sad.

Do these petitions ever work?

Almost exactly how I feel. I was hoping they'd find a solution to 1.09 and add more dlc as time went on but to cut off all support so abruptly just sucks. I went from pessimistically optimistic ( ) to indifferent. Knowing this game has hit its red line less than half a year after release just removes all the fucks I gave. Hard to care about it anymore.

To to the guy who said the vanilla characters of ME3 MP are "generic" they're all still extremely popular to this day and have been very well suited to higher difficulties. The fuck does that even mean, "generic?"

No. This is purely a cathartic exercise. I doubt even OP expected Bioware would ever see this, let alone be persuaded.

We ruined it. Now we get nothing until N7 day.

Bioware: "We had these months-in-advance plans about how to release content for the game, but a bunch of jackasses on the Internet said we should release everything in a blaze of glory. YOLO! We're doing it!"

I already explained this elsewhere. They're not saying MEA met sales projections there. They're saying revenue as a whole is up YoY this quarter 10% and that it was comprised primarily of revenue from FIFA and MEA. That's actually not a good sign considering there were no comparably large releases in the same period last year, and they conspicuously don't specify how much MEA contributed.

A company doesn't reassign an entire studio and cancel years' worth of planned sequels and DLC that was likely already in the works just because it's butthurt about mean things said in reviews. Obviously sales and sales projections were affected.

PROCEDURAL GENERATION DOESN'T WORK FOR AAA RPGS.

Name me one counter-example.

Probably not, but it couldn't hurt. I'm sure many of us now would rather they just release the rest of the sh** they have planned all at once with maybe 1 or 2 patches/balance changes following than continue to be drip fed 1-2 things the next couple months.
