veramis Posted Today, 11:37 AM

As of 11:30 AM, 1/21/2015, I have unofficially appointed myself the spokesperson of Dragon Age: Inquisition Multiplayer.

Please feel free to direct any questions, comments, and suggestions that you may have towards me and I will do my best

to answer them. If I am not on vacation or busy eating donuts I will answer them.

As of 4:30 PM, 1/21/2014, I have unofficially resigned from my post because $6.50/h isn't even going to pay for the blow I

need to put up with all the whining. Next time pay your employees more than Chinese factory workers and you might lose

less good employees like me, Bioware.

Screw you all.

'Crazy' Joe Davola Posted Today, 11:39 AM

When will Xb one get the p atch?

Gya Posted Today, 11:40 AM

The colour highlight for active skills such as walking bomb, blizzard or mark of death, is really garish. Can changing this be a

priority for patch 12 please.

Also caltrops 2op pls nerf.

TheShadyEngineer Posted Today, 11:42 AM

The Red Templar Commander doesn't drink enough potions and the drinking animation is too short. Pls buff.

Cheviot Posted Today, 11:46 AM

Can we get a new unofficial DAMP Community Manager please? Ever since they took the post, t hey haven't answered anyone's

questions.

TheShadyEngineer... are you aware of how much time and e ffort it would take t o re-balance a boss? I have a bett er suggestion.

Why don't y ou just realize that after we spe nt $4.35 million on the AI of the RTC, that there is no furt her way to improve him? If

you think he can be improved, let's see you progr am it be tte r. Consid er y ourself war ned as well.

ALTBOULI Posted Today, 11:57 AM

Unlike you, I actually think before I type. You should try it sometime.

Actually, we have two employe es whose only pur pose is t o grab d onuts. It is okay t o admit t hat you are jealous. Most of my

friends are. But that is no reason to be snide about it. Consider yourself warned.

I cast my vote of no confidence!

Change in leadership is needed

How about you Samuel L Jackson?

LOL. You think your opinion can get me fired? I wouldn't even care if I was fired because I got a nice signing bonus. Thanks for

the funny GIF, finally someone posted something meaningful in my new thread.

Cheviot Posted Today, 12:03 PM

Since Samuel L. Jackson doesn't want the unofficial DAMP community manager role, I'd like to suggest the perfect candidate:

AW, how do you fee l about your Always Winning specialization? Will we b e exp ecting a nerf any time soon like the r eave r was?

Contrary to your fool notion, the Arcane Warrior is already perfectly balanced for its intended purpose. Our design team

decided that the only way to make the Arcane Warrior compatible with the Dragon Age Universe was to implement gameplay

mechanics which do not contradict our vision of the class.

When we cre ated the clas s, we knew that we wante d our customers to feel like the y were playing b ad-ass me dieval samurais. ..

and anyone who gets in their way would get annihilated because that's what bad-ass samurais do. Judging by the statisticaldata we have collected regarding how often the class is played on perilous (we really don't care about the opinion of non-AW

newbies since they rarely spend money), the AW has been a huge success.

If you were hoping for a game where there are no bad-ass medieval samurais, we suggest you play another game which is not

Game of the Year-level. Perhaps the 20 year old Counter-Strike 1, which is about as b oring as you are and pr obably the kind of

balance that y ou are looking for.

Hey!!!!

wertysy Posted Today, 12:36 PM

I actually still play CS 1.6 sometimes but 1.0? I mean, only way to play 1.0 is some LAN genius-programer-required hardcore

stuff or some easy way?

JRandall0308 Posted Today, 12:38 PM

This thread is comedy gold. GOLD!

Not the kind used to buy chests in DAI MP though.


Okay you know what I really thing? I think you guys are scared of the tr uth. The truth is that Midevil Samurai Sorcerers are

phased out in this era. Reavers are where you really shined on in game design but then you took away their one thing, their

lovely healing capability with rampage!

And whats with the RNG from chests man!? I want my cr itical blue rings but nope! Its be en like 40 hours on mult iplayer .. He lp

a legionnaire out!

Lol, I always get a laugh when a newbie tries to tell me how the game works when I play games for a living. Reavers were NOT

nerfed. They are functioning perfectly normally, as they always have. Maybe you need to actually play the class and see that

rampage is still working 100%. If you have proof otherwise, I'd like to see, otherwise I think it may be time to clean up the

forums.

What's wrong? Can' t handle a littl e RNG? I heard b ubble bubble is a good game for people who can't play real adult games.

We are always investigating any minor imb alances that may occur between different classes, within the same class, and at diffe rent difficulty

levels. We don't require your suggestion to nerf caltrops because our balance team is already on it. Nice try sounding smart, though. Have a

cookie.

Good. I'm fed up of playing with my post-patch buffed reaver only to have goddam archer caltrops kill stealing.

I eagerly await the cookie.


That's nonsense! This is all a lie. I can't believe bioware would overlook my spelling and grammatical errors let alone suggest a

wimpy game like bubb le bu bble. I'm going to prove your wrong about t he re aver nerf by the wa y!

http://blog.bioware....-patch-3-notes/ (http://blog.bioware.com/2015/01/19/pc-patch-3-notes/)

"We targeted several issues in multiplayer, fixing the case that caused keys to not drop, as well as fixing issues with the

Reaver’s rampage ability. There were also some balance changes, including tweaks to the Demon Commander and the

Strength of Spirits ability to make it more useful."

http://forum.bioware...st-broke/page-5 (http://forum.bioware.com/topic/542746-lets-list-off-the-things-patch-3-just-

broke/page-5)

"hi im new in the forum, i know this isnt good introuction but, i came here to put my sand grain in the issue, after i installe

patch 3, i realized that rampage in single player is not working the way it used to work, now heals you a little over time,

that sound fine right ?, WRONG the important part life steal is gone, GONE ♫, i care little about speed, rampage was useful

due life steal now is pretty much useless.

Multiplayer is working as intended"

How do you explain the inconsistencies in your statements and both the official blog post, plus this poor reaver's inability

to heal with dragon rage!? It is simple! You made reavers weak so that the glory of the midevil samurai sorceror can shine

supreme! How could you!?

Is there any chance of seeing a dragon in DAMP?



Blah, blah, blah!
