People say "BSN is a toxic place" or "Reddit is a toxic place" and they're not. I mean, if you have to cloister yourself in a small group of 20 people to get any sort of positive discussion then it's not specific places, the community itself is in a bad place at the moment. BSN and Reddit just reflect that. Bioware will have to work hard to get people back on side Yes, that makes sense. Reddit has a problem by design that it accentuates the 'mood' by its upvoting/downvoting system. BSN is pretty civil as places go...

The thing is, they had to know what kind of questions they were going to get. So to just ignore them, and say go over to Reddit is kind of ridiculous.
He said I'm going to do something brave and look at the chat for questions, and literally everyone started posting LOOT!. That was every post after he said that. So to not even acknowledge the players' pain points and just say they're questions we're not going to answer is just poor on their part. They may as well have just have posted the update and not even had the livestream.
Then later he says I'm surprised they're no questions on the level design of the dungeon. That's not what people care about, how haven't they figured this out by now. People don't want to put in time and effort for unfulfilling rewards, whether it be old or new content.

Lol, Reddit isn't their official forum. There shouldn't be an expectation that people frequent that place for official information. Weak sauce I read the post in the twitter thread so *shrug* did they direct people to read that statement. If not then that's a mistake They just said "it's on reddit go there" lol. If you have official information, oh my God put it on your damn blog or something! How hard is this. Not everybody uses reddit or wants to navigate that forum just to find an official post, a post which will get lost in a few days time because things can't get pinned. So sorry everyone who's time poor and watches or reads about this stream in a week, you're going to have digging for that post *rolls eyes*

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.

The BW forums were never a particularly toxic place either. Yes, people liked to criticize the games there and take them apart to their smallest aspects but that was part of the fun, it was in 99% of cases done with a fairly high level of civility and if the devs and administrators over at BW had seen it in that context, it could have been a great place to gather feedback for them.
But no, they had to close it because it became to "toxic" and they rather use platforms where they thought they could "engage better' like reddit, twitter and facebook. I will admit, I draw a little bit of satisfaction from the fact that things don't really seem to be better there for them.
Anyway, I'll stick to the BSN boards here. I like this place and I think it managed to stay very close to what the old BSN was.
EDIT: On topic: So we'll be able to change gear on the fly (pun totally intended ) now? That's cool! And to whoever says that is a downgrade for Ft. Tarsis, I say, Fort Tarsis shouldn't be implemented in the game by forcing the player to go there just to access their inventory. That was ridiculous in the first place. Tarsis needs new valuable content on its own to shine, not the maintaining of an annoying constraint to force players there for no other reason. Even though I stopped playing for now, I say good on you BW for implementing this.

Square Enix found they needed a better way to get feedback on FFXIV and built the official FFXIV forums a few years after the game launched. Bioware find they need a better way to get feedback and announced a ... player feedback environment? Swell.

If you're concerned about the environment, then employ mods to mould the environment to one of your choosing. The Bioware official forums collapsed because they didn't put any effort, and in my opinion value, to the purpose of that forum. And I'm not interested in developer entitlement so I don't care one whit what Laidlaw thinks

"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.

No so much apparently... Honestly, having been on the old forums on a daily basis and having kept up with dev comments and responses to them in particular back in the day, I do not see why.
There were only a few very specific times when any kind of particular toxicity flared up (like right after ME3 and the ending thing for example) but these things calmed down after a while and in default mode, 99% of people i saw were particularly friendly when devs posted over there (which became very rare towards the end anyway).
So maybe all this toxicity towards the devs happened via PMs or something but I for one really did not see it on the boards at all. I definitely see more a*holes nowadays during my short and irregular visits to reddit than I ever saw on BSN.
EDIT: Sorry for being off topic again.

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.

Dude it's not your job to address concerns on the forum, let the community managers do their job and let discussions unfold. It's like they thought their forum was supposed to be a place where people could praise them endlessly, and they could interact with that praise. No, no it isn't.

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

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.

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.

Honestly all we saw was how much contempt Jesse has for the playerbase. There was NO respect and NO love there. His body language and his eyes and facial expressions and tone indicated he actually doesn't like us at all and doesn't respect us. Getting pissy because no ones asking about the damn Level Design? seriously? Why would people be asking about that my man? Saying "you've answered our concerns about Loot definitively" by pointing us to a copy and pasted two sentence non answer?
Really all of them just acted like they would rather be anywhere else, doing literally anything else. Livestreaming without community interaction is just a long commercial. Why even bother livestreaming if this is how your going to go about it now? FFS you could have just pre-recorded that last week and posted it given how little interaction that took place.
I'm so sick and tired of the perception of contempt that Bioware gives off every time things don't go their way. I've never seen this problem so consistenly from any other development studio in my life. After a lifetime of love and support, I seriously wonder why I keep bothering.
P.S. I loved the akward 10 second silence they all shared after opening a chest that contained nothing but 4 Epics. Then just acting like that never happend.
