So it's kind of like the pipes bursting in a house and conceding the grass may be a little too tall in the front yard.
Edit: They totally should address it an open way and just let people know, they aren't pleased with it themselves and are working on it. And then... work on it for the next couple weeks, months, etc and roll out patches. Not playing D for them, just trying to think what could possibly be the best next steps in a rocky af situation. The game should have been delayed and quality tested to the nth degree.

Alternative animations.

So when will they fix the constant performance drops on XboxOne? Sometimes my game stays at 20fps or so for a short period of time.
Its like im running in Slowmo mode

Not to mention that one face that all the NPC Asari share. Yes, one. Every Asari but PeeBee looks the same except for slight skin colour and marking variation:

That's genuinely terrible. They managed to fuck up so much stuff. Initially, I thought they'd go hard trying to patch this up and save face for the franchise, but they might just punt on it and talk about how much they learned when making the next one or shelf the franchise altogether.
Sorry to say but I think Xbox one may be the least of their concerns since apparently it runs poorly even on the PS4 pro

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I can't find the source but I remember reading somewhere that Developer said that you can't fix these animation issues with a patch and the game would have to be reworked to fix it.
So if that's true nobody should expect a fix and even if a developer can fix them EA has shown that they won't because if they couldn't be asked to fix it before launching the game in such state than people shouldn't expect them to fix it post launch.

Why should be the small PS4 Pro userbase a priority over the normal console versions? lol

More saving during priority missions is a welcome, but I wish they'd also let us skip those planet scanning transitions.
Since it runs like ass on the supposedly more powerful system that is supposed to naturally play games better than the PS4. I'd say it's more embarrassing to run poorly there than on the Xbox One.

Any updates or are we still sitting ducks?
From what I've heard, we can expect a blog post outlining future plans some time next week (at the earliest).

That list is underwhelming as hell. I don't care about animations, but there are tons of other bugs and badly designed stuff that they need to fix. And almost none of them are mentioned in that list.

This is where I wish EA/Bioware would step up and admit they messed up like SE did with FFXIV. They should be bending over backwards to put this right and get the game up to AAA standards so as not to tarnish the brand going forward.
I wish. There seems to be an actual good game within all the bugs too, like the combat stuff looks super fun to me, but everything around it is just.. meh.
It's kinda the opposite of Witcher 3, where everything around the combat is what makes it a worthwhile game and for an RPG kinda game, that's not good

This is just more Star Wars influence.

You know what they say "asari look all the same".
Maybe they expected racist gamers to not notice and rolled with it.

I usually sympathize with devs. Nobody wants to make something that's not good. At least not on purpose. But after waiting 5 years and paying $60, there comes a point that I just honestly can't give a damn about that.
They made a lot of mistakes, and now they have to deal with the backlash. That said, I don't support anyone who insults individuals. People should criticize companies & studious, not individuals.
