This thread repurposes a 'safe' thread used before launch to hide from spoilers. In this thread: - Chilled out conversation only.
- No dramas.
- No spoilers of any major significance.
Just laid back conversation about Mass Effect Andromeda...

I saw "Andromeda Safe Zone" and originally read it as Alexandria Safe Zone because The Walking Dead is always on my mind. LOL

I saw "Andromeda Safe Zone" and originally read it as Alexandria Safe Zone because The Walking Dead is always on my mind. LOL Everytime you watch the TWD, give a little love to Qui-Gon Glenn and the rest of the unsung electricians that make part of the show keep churning on. Not too much though... I quit after season 5, focused on features now as much as possible. Alexandria was a giant pain in the ass to rig, working around the backside of the wall and hiding our cable. So, yeah, Alexandria. As far as Andromeda goes, this forum will be the buying barometer. I have deep reservations about future Bioware products (a big part of my BSN ban, I would think) but I hope it is so apparently awesome by the resounding love this forum responds with, that I get teary-eyed thinking about not topping a new scoreboard and thus purchase at a slightly discounted price. That said, until DAI, ME:A would have been a CE preorder. But I am not here to bash Biower, I actually do hope it is awesome and I will rekindle great old gaming friendships as a result of awesomeness

Ok, well, I am not. I am here to drop knowledge, poat gifs, talk shit and shit post about ME3MP, and occasionally venture into the other subforums, such as this one.
Nanny nanny boo boo? I know you are but what am I? Not sure what else to say tehnekomata, as
1) I have never seen your username before, which means I have no clue who you are, why I should care, and if we have any history that means obviously far more to you than me
2) Assuming you are a new forumite, and this is our first encounter, see post above enumeration
3) Assuming you are an alt name for someone who dislikes me, uh, try harder?
4) Assuming you were on the BSN during the time I was (2007-2013), maybe look again at my longevity as a Bioware fan, hell even fanboy for a while, and reconsider your painful indictment of my life.
I hope Andromeda proves me wrong.

An important part is to also keep spoilers out of thread titles which you can't avoid seeing.

This is pretty cool. But right now you first have to open the normal Andromeda forum to get to the safe zone (and hope there are no spoilers in thread titles there). Shouldn't there be a spoiler and no spoiler forum?

What's the point of this? I can put spoilers elsewhere.... no? Logically, Sartoz, you are quite correct, this thread should be no different to other threads. Yet each time a game reaches launch, leaks drop, spoilers crawl out. The time when people wish to 'go dark' varies but for many, they will stick with the forum in the hope that they don't spot anything because they enjoy the discussion whilst waiting. This thread offers a minimised (not zero) risk for people who want to talk but feel too nervous to roam the forums openly.

I agree the thread title should be edited to prominently include something like "No Spoilers Allowed" or just "No Spoilers" or "Spoiler Free". I thought it was self-evident, but better safe than sorry.

Yay!! A great addition, thank you I had read up too much before Dragon Age Inquisition, and it made the first PT a little bit less fun. This time around I am keeping myself busy with other things so I don't know too much in advance. It will be nice to have a place to hang out in while I do a first PT.

I go into my first run as blind as possible, which usually means a forum blackout for months before launch. That means I often miss trailers and other exciting hype that would be fun to see. Hopefully this thread can live up to its name and I can keep visiting right up until "OMG I took tomorrow off to finally play!"

I'll add 'official' promotional materials, like trailers to the OP.

@grinch 's post raises the need for an additional level of paranoia. I think we should label all links to external sources explaining (in a non-spoiler way) their content and whether there are spoilers). I've added this to the OP. - Label external links
Links to external posts or articles should be labelled with their subject (non-spoilery) and an indication of any spoiler content or not. Naturally the links themselves should not be spoilerific.
e.g. I labelled the link above: LINK LABEL: Discussion of gameplay footage release, includes no spoilers.
I've also labelled the trailers so that an assessment of spoiler content may be made.

Sorry about that ... wasn't trying to sneak one in, violate the intent of this thread or fail to comply with the rules of posting.
I thought the title of the link made it clear ... but of course a spoiler might have been lurking in the article ... so I should be clear that this was free of spoilers.
I think the biggest news from the link is that EA really is serious about an HD re-release of the original trilogy ... perhaps timed to build excitement about the release of MEA. Which would mean sooner, rather than later. Given the short timeline, to me that indicates an HD release is just a cleaned up graphics kind of release, containing not many, if any bug fixes and certainly nothing along the lines of a remake.
I'm trainable. Will do better next time.
