How long til #N7Day? Cannot. Fucking. Wait.

Damn don't tease us like this...

The troll is strong with this one

Hmm...after those comments i wonder if we will finaly see a trailer for the game...

I'm hoping for a lot more than just a trailer. If after all this time and teasing it is just a trailer, I'll be annoyed. 

Heh... personally, I've always enjoyed them. Over the years, I've come to look at the teasing tweets/posts as something of a BioWare institution.
(Along with their never-ending quest for our tears...)

Yeah, they're often cryptic, but NDAs mean they have to keep them that way. But I do like following their progress, the funny posts, the speculation, and every now and again we do glean some interesting info from them.

And I find they help to pass the time too, which would otherwise be real boring if they didn't...

That was the part i liked about the interview. He basically said we've got two big games to go and then you can go nuts.

My only problem so far with Andromeda's methods of releasing info (which they already kind of did with Inquisition, in terms of waiting for long periods of time before releasing actual info) was the hype the devs themselves created for E3. If they'd have toned down our expectations a lot less people would've had problems with it.
I waited for some games for a long time, and for some after the announcment it took a while for releasing actual informations (for example, the game rapresented by my avatar). I'm fine with waiting and them taking their time to make the game as good as they can.

Well, here's what I think about N7 day. N7 Day is a date that I'm betting that BioWare wished they'd never embraced. It's kind'a like your birthday as you get older. When you're young, it's great. There's presents, there's cake, a little later there's beer. As you get older, there's all of those things, but a year less for you enjoy them. Another reminder of how you're getting old. Oh and beer. But now instead of to celebrate, now it's to forget. Hangovers can't make you forget something, but they can put a helluva dent in it.

But now BioWare is stuck with all of us starry eyed people on N7 Day, knowing that we're gonna be disappointed with whatever they show us. Let's face it, five thousand people (and I'm being generous here) on a twitch stream is nothing when compared to the millions that traditional advertising campaign can reach.

I highly doubt that there will be anything significant shown on N7 day. I certainly hope I'm wrong. Because I plan on being there with my "The Team" shirt and N7 sweatshirt on, waiting in that twitch room, because I'm just that much of a fan.

I don't see why, in theory, they can't show stuff at N7 day, or why people have to be disappointed regardless of what they show us. ls it about the shift of the galaxy, reminder of ME3, or the fear of another delay?
I'm not saying that they'll necessary show a lot, but they'll probably do if the game will still be released on early 2017.
Also, there are software houses that pick a day outside the coming convention, creating a big event where they release a lot of info. The Undercover events for FF XV, for example.
I'm not saying N7 will be at that level, but they can do something similar.

Exactly. So when N7 Day comes around...
