Hypocrisy is always funny.

Ask, forums cost money, have to be staffed and most likely present liability issues for big million dollar companies. It's easier to just let Reddit do it. That is the real reason.

this forum is a lot better than the old bsn though if for no other reason than we can have off topic threads where we communicate like grown ups, also meme's can be shitposted like no tomorrow and its more fun,

on the old forums all that stuff was stamped on and you know it was pretty bland, about the only funny thing that happened on there was drasca posting a picture of his desktop complete with his cheat engine hotlink for the game (which handily explained how he had managed to get so high up the leader boards and yet was still so crap at playing the game)

Im not here for the info.

Im here because I love our little community. I might not post much, but years of reading peoples posts lends an air of pleasant familiarity.

Maybe it's one of those things where he surrounds himself with "trashy" because he is it himself.

Considering that no-one here is paid to run the forum, I find it performs the job admirably. Off topic definitely creeps into this subforum more than it should but that will tend to happen in a community it that has gotten to know each other over the years.

I'll address the balance thread since I am the person that originally started it. Life has gotten in the way of a true ability to maintain much about it between being an owner/operator of a small business and having a 1 year old my free time is low. The limited hours I have are usually spent playing the game. I'm more than happy to relinquish control of the thread to someone with more ample time. That being said, we've only had 1 balance change in a month with minimal content this making conversation about it minimal.

FYI, there is a place on this board for recommendations you would like to see happen where the mods read.

I do hope we are able to get more dev interaction here at some point, but I'm not holding out for that. As for those complaining about other posters on this board; there will always be those in life that come across as pompous blowhards. The nature of humanity will keep that up.

Personally, I hope we are able to get more hard data from the game so that we can actually dive further into detail like we did in ME3. I'm sure it will come in time as the dataminers are likely spending their time playing the game as of now if it is still holding their interest.

There are a lot of really funny and creative people in the community. It seems some of them didn't make it here or just choose to not post (I guess some could have changed their name and are not interested in the past), but its still fun. I'm not saying I'll be here forever, but the game is definitely not what has me coming here at this point in time. Could AMP improve and become fun? Absolutely. Right now its a boring pile of garbage IMO and yeah its fun to crack jokes and things, but I'm definitely not here because of that steaming pile. I hope they make it better. Seeing what their final product was after all that extensive testing....I'm not too confident in them. I don't know why they care about feedback now. Seems to me if they really cared then they would have had a beta. As a fan, seeing that kind of attitude towards the game REALLY changed my feelings. Quality is the same reason I refuse to buy Ubishit games despite some of them looking really fun to me.

I'm glad I bought the game how I did and only paid what I paid. (Deluxe edition for $50) And that wasn't even worth it. OOOOO i got a hoodie I wear in SP and a waste of space pyjack I see once in a while on top of 1 MP box. Another lesson to learn here.

I refuse to buy DICE games as well. Battlefield 3 and the condition it was in when I bought it was the last time I ever buy a game with their name on the box despite BC2 being one of my 10 favorite games of all time. I am impressed with Battlefront 2 and how they have reacted to the backlash of the first one. Adding in a beefy SP and not only taking the customization deeper, but also getting rid of season passes? Bringing back local co op to consoles? It's EA. We all know EA and their bs, but those are good moves.

For you Star Wars fans Nov. this year might be a win.

I always treat each game even in a series as if they are totally new, mea has problems I wont deny t hat but so far I cant say that i'm unhappy about the price I spent on it, if you had played the mars warlogs game and then preordered the technomancer and seen how bad that game was on release you might feel differnently as well (I actually felt like i'd been mugged for that game it was that bad) mostly its just funky animations and dodgy gun power that's problemetic in mea, and for actual bugs they are patching it up, in tt it had a premium price and it took them 3 months to release a patch so you could play past the first 30 minuites of the game (it hard crashed due to a code problem) but to do it they nerfed your character hardcore so it was virtually impossible to get to that point....

and now its just some trash placeholder in my steam game list..... and it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't cost so much money, where as with mea i'm mostly likeing playing it but some things are annoying me more because i'm a completionist than because the game is crappy

I think right now we're a bit mixed up with both newcomers and old timers and some of of us has to get to know each other, cause not everyone knows one another from the real bsn and that causes som tension plus the game hasn't turned out to be the goldmine everyone thought it would be, so a lot of us are very disappointed. Tbh, me3 mp section, also on the bsn, also had a lot of shit posting going on a lot of the time, sure people were still doing serious talking of the game but that was because me3 mp was GOOD, so there was plenty to talk serous about. I bet once mea mp kicks off some more and some of the patches and hopefully fixes kicks in, that people will start talking more seriously about the game. By that time more people will also have played and will have a lot more to share about it here, more experience.

My two cents...

Well, the old forum had devs posting weakly updates/balance changes as well. Its no ones fault here that they aren't anymore but the "officialness" of the forum also gave it charm and appeal...

I think I just grow weary of seeing people whine about the game here. The same thing over and over. This is a crying fest. Its so old now. You don't like it, okay we get it. Bye.
That isn't the mods fault, its not something they can really police and they probably shouldn't anyways...

You get it, but it's the other way around.  Almost no one likes the game so the threads talking about the game are going to be posted by.....almost no one.

I just went to the Reddit and yep there are people talking more specifically about the game than here....the comments are....about the same, but the threads are more game focused.  If that's what you're looking for then there you go.  Maybe when the game is good the mood here will change, but the people from the BSN I know are absolutely not going to eat shit and say thank you for it.  They are going to throw it back in your face.

Here's a quote from the "I'm quitting" thread on reddit btw

"No one cares, bye."

"The Reddit is full of assholes...hell im an asshole..but im an asshole trying to help. But you have reasonable claims...

Except the pay for skill points....its exceptionally easy to get character/gun cards. And it helps players like me.. This microtranaction stuff allows me to play the game without spending my money without having to buy dlc...its a win win for me.. I think more games need this type of thing.( as long as it doesn't become pay to win.. With things locked behind paywalls.) its actually a step forward in the microtransaction world."

i think they kenw that if they close their oficial forums, people will eventually open new forums

without this forum, the devs wouldn't have 90% of the feedback

99% of peolpe wo post on the MEA facebook are newcomers or fanboys or people who never played the trilogy and don¡t care much
