Mark my words, next week we'll hear about the automated schedule, and that they're done with the streams. After that, all communication outlets will be closed. Don't expect anything else. Can I serve you a plate of crow if you're wrong?

Sounds like they'd have to arrange to manually do it but don't want to.
Should be possible, if they were so motivated, that they could do it for a week or two and then revert to the current system or even set up a rotation so everything would be obtainable within a 2 month span at 4 per week.
I can't imagine a single reason at this point not to simply make the last few - or even the whole slate - available at once. I can understand the argument - despite thinking that it's blisteringly fucking stupid - for continuing the drip-drop of characters, but what utility could there possibly be in continuing to lock two of the best 4-5 equipment items (Stronghold and Structural Ergonomics) six months after release? It's especially asinine considering that, if we take their responses at face value, those items aren't even locked as a result of any strategy or deliberate choice, but simply because they didn't code their fucking RNG properly. Yeah, this isn't the same as random unlocks through packs, the whole player base is at the whim of one RNG. Everything should just cycle, even a random cycle would be fine.
Hopefully they at least make them all available on N7 day/weekend/whatever they have in mind. If the rest of the items don't random their way on to the marketplace before then though everyone will just be more annoyed.
So many questionable decisions, unfortunately.

I've been waiting for someone to dredge that up. Where is my crow? I prefer it medium rare, thank you.
(In the thread in question I wrote: "I am still waiting for the DLC to drop (so I can make fun of people for believing the Kotaku article), but that's not looking good, I may be eating a giant crow on that point." Uh oh....)

OK I have no idea why but some weirdo just followed me on Twitter and her stream is an endless series of pro-leftist (like, REALLLLLLY leftist, outright Marxist and even saying they are) propaganda. Seems to have nothing to do with gaming and doesn't seem to follow any game developers or companies. So. WTF?
Anyway I muted her.
Maybe this is my punishment - the equivalent of eating crow?

The whole bridge burner thing seems more like to do with Bioware's obsession with Malazan chronicles, a book series by Erikson. And they even have Fiddler who seems to be some shady know-it-all guy, at least he was around during DAI times and posted sometimes on now non-existing BSN.

It doesn't surprise me that someone at Bioware is a fan of Malazan, the most over-rated and worst-written fantasy series of the last 20 years (at least).

Worse than Wheel of Time? More overrated than Kingkiller? Impressive. I will avoid. The books are actually quite good, I read them all apart from the latest attempts at continuation. It is not an easy read though. It is just that the main plot ... suffers occasionally. Erikson cannot stay on the subject, he's drifting and writing for 200 pages about nothing before going back to it. IMO, a solid 7 out of 10, maybe 8 on a good day, still beats Andromeda and many fantasy multi-tome-endless-saga out there. Be warned, it is not an easy read. Initially, i was thinking Bioware would try to build some fantasy world around Malazan and that their affection is purely professional. Does not seem to be the case up until now but you never know.

Silhesh has same travel speed as Thokin. Nathan pronounces it with a long 'o' btw. Were there people who though it was pronounced "thaw-kin?" Are you thokin to me? "Cause there's no one else here who pronounces it like that.

Probably a bot for multi-level marketing. Seriously, a set of previously pro-Trump bots have switched or have been joined by "leftie" bots. The bots were always primarily for marketing purposes, though.

"Hey guys, we started late but don't worry, we'll compensate by ending a bit early." - Bioware The Bioware Devs have started every twitch stream late, but they still end them all early--a shorter stream means more questions are "being looked into".

(2) release new content before playerbase dies I'd be interested to hear how they define "fairly active." Last night I didn't have much trouble finding a game, but just now - on a Friday night and the day after new content released - I soloed two Zero Bronze games (the two dailies, and on presumably the difficulty with the largest population) and nobody ever joined.
