My questions to the rest of the community:
These questions are not meant to be just regarding 1.3 and transfers, but content, features, and game direction overall. Maybe they just need to know what we want to know. Let's help them help us.
What do you want to realistically hear from Bioware?
How often do you need the information updated?
How do you want to be informed about the information? (The forums? Twitter? A handwritten letter from the game director sent to your mailbox on some expensive company letterhead?)
What do you, as a player of this game, want to hear, and from who?
My thoughts to Bioware:
We really need to know when things are going to start picking up and when things will happen. Give the community something to look forward to by providing us with a tentative date, not a tentative time of year. I understand that there can be significant backlash if you don't hit the date provided, but as it stands, we have been left in the dark for too long.
Bioware has been saying the same information for an extremely long time. We don't need you to copy and paste the same spiel of "It's coming! Soon! Early summer! We swear we're listening!", and I'm not just talking about 1.3 and transfers. I want to hear about plans overall! I want to be able to get excited about the game.
Start communicating with us. Let us see what your general plans are. I'm not asking that you reveal all of your "super secret" surprise stuff. Just give us a tentative date, what it is that will be coming along, and give some specific details as to that specific feature/content.
Your hype video for the 1.3 update gives the same information we've already had with the exception of a screenshot of what the interface will actually look like.
We STILL have no specific information on overall future plans.
We STILL don't know when 1.3/transfers are coming.
We STILL don't know any technical details about how the transfers will work.
We STILL haven't heard from any staff that hasn't just relayed old information.
We don't need to know it's coming; we know it's coming. We need to know when, and maybe even why it's planned for that date. Be a bit more transparent...please.
So when is "soon"? When is your idea of "early summer"? How much time do you have planned between patches? What are you going to do differently to help save this sinking ship?
