When is the next patch coming

^ this

Granted as I stated I can't get off, and even if it's fixed refuse to get off Eos until i know something is being done. Fix the CC and everything else and THEN we'll start to come back to it.

I don't mind waiting long for patches, as long as they are decente and work properly and don't reopen wounds and spills a plethora of new issues? 

I would expect, either way, a bit of communication going to and fro. This is so like the last time I saw a franchise go down. Silence, silence, then a patch would come: lousy stuff. More silence, their blog stopped allowing posts: that alone spoke loads.

The sort of communication would point out what they were getting as priorities, probably listing a few things, checking back with players, see if there was anything to add at last moment's notice, see if it fits what they were currently thinking. Thinking ... *sigh*

Forget the next Patch ... give us a DLC! With a patch inside ...... 😉

We haven't heard from EA in weeks. The latest patch was released on 06th April, almost 2 weeks ago, and there has been absolutely no official communication since. The last update made to the known issues bug list in the bug forum was made on 03rd April... again 2 weeks ago.

There are still a massive amount of bugs remaining. Some especially bad since they prevent players from actually engaging in New Game Plus, others severely crippling several quests. So... when is the next patch coming? I paid 60 bucks for this game so I'm not in the mood to wait half a year to get it fixed only to be then milked for more money to get some half arsed DLCs.

I would like a community manager to respond to this as this is unacceptable behaviour. Bioware delivers one patch and then basically does a submarine dive and is never heard from again. So what's cracking? Is someone working on it and what is the ETA?

yes someone is working on it. no you can't have an ETA. there are a lot of issues that need to be updated. a lot of code to go through and testing to be done to make sure the fix doesn't derail the rest of the game. 2 weeks isn't a lot of time at all when it comes to fixing multiple bugs in a game. just shut up sit back and wait. it will be fixed when its fixed. don't like it then take the game back and get a refund. EA and Bioware do not owe you anything.

Do you really expect them to tell you every time they take a dump? how many times they shake it after peeing? 60 dollars doesn't entitle you to demand answers. have a coke and a smile and wait patiently for them to work things out.

How about you stfu? Nobody asked you dude and: oh it's a lot of stuff to go through is no excuse for absolutely no communication nor is for nobody updating the known issue list in the Bug Forum with issues that have around 500 XP on them. And yes 60 dollars entitle me to answers when those 60 dollars were spent on a product that is not working correctly. Those 60 Dollars means I am a customer and as such I can demand to know when the product I purchased is going to work as it is intended to.

What's more you can't: take the game back and refund. If you are over the timelimit or date limit, you can't turn in a digital copy in the super market and demand your game back. Since all PC copies are digital copies, even if you bought them on amazon, there is no way you can return them and get a refund because once your code is spent it's spent. Get it? Maybe grow a brain before you come in here and throw your non-existant weight around kiddo. From the way you act up I assume that I was playing game back when you were still running around the christmas tree with a diaper on so respect my autoritah!

I would love to know when the next patch comes, as there are so many things to be fixed. All the bugged quests that prevent people from playing and other things need to be fixed ASAP.

But I can understand why they don't say a date right now.
I guess they are working pretty hard to fix those bugs and glitches and have to figure out what to put in the next patch and what can wait. They also have to be sure that the patch does not produce more bugs/glitches as it fixes.

The last patch created a lot of new bugs and fixes. A lot of people had more problems than before...
So it seems right they want to be sure and then say "Hey guys tomorrow there will be a new patch" instead of promising some patch and then see it won't work out to that date.

But you are right about the communication however. They really should communicate more with us!

Listen ETA means expected time of arrival not fixed or promised. I get that there might some changes in the date but some throwaway line of "yeah about two months or so" simply isn't good enough. As for problems and the size of the game I can only refer once again to the CD Project Red Forums during the height of The Witcher 3. It was packed, threads and bug reports sprang up left and right, yet the community managers managed to update their buglist consisently, respond to new threads quickly and either closed them or merged them when issues had already been reported. They and the main community manager also updates the players consistently about ETA's of patches and were in constant communication with the forum and twitter.

It's just not good enough. This game is 3 weeks old, already dropped out of Metacritics front page, was ripped by critics and players, was riddled with technical issues and bugs and still cost 60 bucks for the standard version which is a bad joke. Now they can't even communicate and you have some developer going online and saying "Oh it was so mean, I didn't expect that and bladibladibla". Apparently they have time for that and time to announce some new APEX missions but they can't decisively say: Okay we expect the Patch will release then and there. 2 months is also simply not an option. In 2 months this game will be absolutely gone from the gaming landscape at the rate it's now going. You need to fix at least smaller stuff NOW and in good time. I appreciate wanting to drop a major patch like a mic drop that, probably in their mind only, will lift the game up and make it as good as TW3 and Zelda, but it simply isn't feasible. At a certain point people will stop caring or get so pissed off that they simply won't bother with the game anymore.

In general my point is: open your mouth and talk to us. Get community managers in here that merge threads so you don't have 50: shield for Nomad can't be crafted threads. Update the Bug List, maybe even make a stick post for several of the bugs that have been reported 500 or more times each, talk to the people, tell them what the patch will actually adress (cause they can say 2 months all they want, if the patch adresses stuff that nobody cared about or none of the stuff that was reported most then people will flip even more). Have an actual date ready so people don't feel like they have been * out of money.

While they are at it... how about giving us a proper forum back? Why did they close the Bioware forum in the first place and why is this forum software so awful? I mean hell it feels like they want us to stfu and forget about the game just looking at how poorly this forum is managed and how poorly the whole thing works.

first of all you don't know anything about me. from the way you claim to be older than me that means you have to be at least 50 years old. and you're still playing games? do you know how to use a smart phone or a computer? and no i do not have to stfu this is a public forum in which someone posted a public post for others to see. i have every right to post my opinion and if you don't like it go choke on a fat D. the 60 dollars was spent on a game in which was given to you. the game works and plays fine. sure there are some bugs but those bugs do not entitle you to anything other than a go F yourself.

second....you can get a refund. these bugs have been here since day one. the game is still under 30 day warranty since the game has not been out a full month yet. you can get a refund. and yes you can get a full refund from a digital code. you just have to ask and tell them why you should get one. i know this because i have done it before. but ignorant people like you don't take the time to ask you just assume they will say no.

before you try saying something make sure you know all the facts. clearly all you have coming out of your brain is ignorance.

You are quite rude telling someone who paid their own hard earned money for an expected working product to "just shut up sit back and wait."  They have more right to demand answers for a poor product than you have to tell them to "just shut up sit back and wait."  Without communication, you have zero clue what Bioware is doing.  For all you know, they are readying the DLC right now instead of patches which has happened all too often in recent years.  People are becoming tired of it.  Well most of us, you still seem to not mind spending money on massively bugged games while telling others they have no right to demand a quality product for their money.

Edit: I didn't read your latest post either.  It seems that you get really upset when people tell you essentially the same thing.  Figures.

Again Kiddo, stfu. I'm not even gonna argue with you anymore. Move your arse out of people's threads and stfu. I checked your latest posts and all you do is tell people to stfu, bitching them out for making valid requests and generally just telling them to get over themselves. I suspect you are either just an idiotic troll or directly involved with EA somehow trying to * people off, make the forum a hostile place so people will get tired of it and stop posting or are afraid to get bitched out by you. Well not with me you little punk. STFU GTFU or I'm going to lay a verbal smackdown on your candy arse so hard that your grandpa's bones will rattle in their grave. I've not been around the internet for nearly 30 years to be cowed by some little troll who sits in his mommas basement * of to German Scheisse porn.

To anyone else: I would advise you to simply ignore this guy. Typical troll behaviour pissing one person of without actually offering and constructive feedback or criticism and when that person (me) gets into a lengthy discussion with this troll, who will always change the topic when he gets beaten on one point, automatically 2 or 3 guys spring up defending the troll or making him sound reasonable, pissing others off in turn and the whole thing spirals out of control. It's normal or rather typical. So don't pay him any mind. I won't after this post.

Back to the topic.

Like I said I personally agree with the last poster. I have a feeling that they are already on their way to a DLC... it would certainly fit the timeline... 2-3 months for a patch for minor bugs? Sounds more like 2-3 months for the first DLC since they need DLC quick to keep this game from staying relevant. It has already dropped off any relevancy radar and they have experience with that sort of policy. DA:I was better received but ultimately disappeared fairly quickly but most of the DLC got a decent amount of press and some good reviews so they probably think they can fix it now which imho is the wrong way to go. The right way would be to fix this game and then offer people who bought the game before the first patch come out that DLC at half price or even for free.

@hedop85

I really think that they don't really know how to handle the situation.  The game was obviously made by numerous groups who didn't communicate with one another before they put it all together.  That would explain the difference in quality from one part of the game to the other.  The fact that things are constantly out of order in conversations etc.  The games relevancy died when they ended up with a 4.8 average user metacritic rating, and now, with EA fully in charge, they are probably trying to decide if they should do just enough to partially save a once great franchise, or milk the remainder for what they can get out of it and then the game will be nothing but a multi-player online game in the near future, full of annoying twelve year old's with zero parental supervision and have discovered foul language.

I think you are right.

Your last sentence scares me ☹️ I know its possible, but I hope they will work things out.

Sometime between now and the heat death of the universe.
