Not really. The last post was only a few days ago. This thread was just waiting for the next video to come out most likely. Indeed why would there be activity and discussion in a briefings thread when the last briefing was quite some time ago. So Im a bit confused, this is not official form, meaning BioWare has nothing to do with it? I see they closed down all their other forums some time ago which makes me wonder just how committed they are to their projects....I was stoked about the game till I started trying to find Official sites and info for the players which seem too be non-existant.....Well I pre-ordered so will give it a chance and avoid spoilers but jeez feels like they are setting it up to fail.

Most likely. I'm very curious about the setup for this journey. I wish they'd just give the "how and why" already. Nah I'd rather learn everything fresh as I go like when I played ME1 for the first time. thats fine but the leaks proved to be correct to bad Bioware played the hide the info game but no problem it will be on you tube either on day of release or during it

I could be wrong but I think one of the reasons the official forums were shut down was to avoid another ME3 plot leak endgame forum disaster.

I don't the leak started from BSN, and it'd leak anyway on Gaf, Reddit and other sites.

That is such a sub-optimal way to stay in contact with your favorite dev teams. After all, there is Facebook and Twitter, and you can visit them in person during a convention! That's what we were told when the official forums got locked down. Or, as two popular ex BioWare fellas gleefully agreed, "Bye Felicia".

I can somehow understand their views, but it's unfair to group every people on the forums together. Beside, the major fault for the problems the legacy forum had was Bioware's, since it lacked proper moderation.

I didn't know that phrase either and had to look it up back then. It's a way to express that you don't give a crap that someone is gone. It is implied that the person leaving - in this case the fan base - is *not* named Felicia, and by addressing them with that false name, you're telling them how unimportant they have been to you all the time. As in "You mean so little to me that I don't even remember your name right."

Or, as two popular ex BioWare fellas gleefully agreed, "Bye Felicia". I don't get the last phrase. I doubt Most of the devs had any swung on that decision, and it seems many bioware devs like/support this forum.. I'll just put this out there: Whatever the decision-making process involved in the closure of the official forums, this forum has only ever had friendly wishes from BioWare: And I might add, that friendliness was there even behind the scenes, pretty much on day one when we were nailing down the name of our forum. Let's face it, we're pretty much appropriated their old forum name: 'BioWare Social Network' and slapped 'unofficial' on it. If I have to read between the lines, BSN Prime had developed a certain 'reputation' for toxicity. Some of that goes back to the days of 'Retake Mass Effect' and the ability people have of sticking their fingers up at BioWare when on the official site. (Biower pls) In short, it just got too difficult for them. A toxic forum that they either didn't know how to handle or have the bandwidth to handle. With MEA on the horizon they looked at the forum in the summer of 2016 and asked themselves, are we ramping this thing up ready for MEA? And the answer was no. If you want to talk about this some more, perhaps those folk who didn't go through the 'last days', I'm mirroring this post on the 'Closure thread' in case anyone wishes to say any more: bsn.boards.net/post/203832/threadFor reference, there are two further archived threads, one a 'goodbye' thread and the second a curation of the last posts made on BSN Prime: "Goodbye" bsn.boards.net/thread/625"Last post" bsn.boards.net/thread/689In the words of Solas , 'blep mlem mlem'...
Back on topic here, we're expecting a third briefing soon, yes?

Has anyone had problems with the progress tracking on this?? I've logged in and watched the vids more than once in different devices and it doesn't track? It's still got my progress as 0/6. Anyone had the same issue or know what I'm doing wrong?

I think sometimes it forgets your login and you have to login again to get it to register properly.

I appreciate you guys and or gals coming out of the woodwork to help fill a Fan but not a diehard in on the details. Sadly I have no interest in tweets or twitter, Id rather be able to have actual discussions so at least there is this place, even if unofficial.

Sadly I have no interest in tweets or twitter, Id rather be able to have actual discussions so at least there is this place, even if unofficial. Towards the end of the BSN (I'd say possibly even pre-ME3), there were only a couple actual Bioware employees posting with any sort of regularity. The vast majority had moved to Twitter, if they had ever posted to begin with. This was especially apparent with DA:I, where Laidlaw and Weekes' would answer a lot of fan questions on Twitter. That's a big reason why the Twitter threads were so popular (and still are here!). Between Twitter and Twitch, Bioware could get out the info they wanted without having to deal with the toxic portions of the forums that seemed to rear it's head so often.

Yeah I've tried using safari on my phone and iPad neither worked. And with Firefox on a computer. I'll try downloading chrome and see if it'll work that way.
