Get well, Ben Walke!

UnknownGamer · July 30, 2018 2:25AM

So, Ben Walke has had a bike accident. I have seen sympathies for him on the forum, but no dedicated thread which I feel is in order. So, Ben Walke, if you are reading this, I and many others hope that you get well soon!

BeastlyCrawdad · July 30, 2018 2:26AM

Yah hear that, @F8RGE, we care about you.

LunarCoil · July 30, 2018 2:36AM

Ben, I hope you're ok!

Royazeee · July 30, 2018 4:47AM

oh boy..when did that happen?

VaperEyes · July 30, 2018 5:02AM

Ben Walke, if you are reading this, I hope that you get well soon!

How did you find out. I didn't see anything on his Twitter since he went on vacation except his "Thank you" for his birthday wishes.

VadersPetPig_ · July 30, 2018 7:16AM

It’s just a ploy to avoid stating anything about this weekend’s XP failure and the ‘hotfix’ that never dropped. Yikes. What’s next?

Spiito · July 30, 2018 7:26AM

What happened?

Rude what if he’s serious hurt and could never walk again which makes him less motivate to communicate to use and etc.....

Some people are simply jerks.

Somebody mentioned its in his "my story"

NomiSunstrider · July 30, 2018 8:49AM

I read on Reddit that he was going downhill at 30 mph with his bike and his chain broke. That kind of thing happening can be really dangerous and he was lucky to have received minor injuries.
Get well soon Ben.

Llunotts · July 30, 2018 9:57AM

Hope you recover Ben. Best wishes. We need you.

DrX2345 · July 30, 2018 10:12AM

Was going to say I thought he was just on holiday, but jeez, that must have hurt! Get well soon!

EoTRampage · July 30, 2018 10:32AM

probably just an excuse to delay fixes even further

This last month has been a {removed} in terms of comunication and community engagement (a delayed double exp promised event, a delayed HOTfix, Palpatine gone without any date on when he'll be coming back, new bugs, a semi-broken stamina update...), but don't use it as an excuse to bash a well-meaning thread from a forum member (probably completely unrelated to DICE) who just wants some other person (who happens to be the community manager of this game) that got hurt to get well...

Don't derail a perfect valid thread when there are other better ones to keep complaining about the state of the game.

Decency at its finest... And he got three likes, lol.

Pathetic.

T0TALfps · July 30, 2018 2:32PM

Hey Folks,

Thank you for all your warmth, I'll be sending the comments through to him. Not the best way to spend a vacation, but he'll live!

Much love to you all.

stevenomes · July 30, 2018 2:42PM

Ben,
I wish you nothing but the best. Get well soon. All your efforts in improving communication with the game have been greatly appreciated. May the force be with you. Always

Steve

TK_8721 · July 30, 2018 2:52PM

Get well soon.

BrandonJones23 · July 30, 2018 2:55PM

AOD_MelournRex · July 30, 2018 3:08PM

Get well, Ben!

RogueZeroRendar · July 30, 2018 3:21PM

Being good or bad at his work, no one deserves to be mocked because they got injured. I wish you to get better as soon as possible Ben and then come back refreshed to this battlefront which is this forum for we all to resume our eternal conflict of angry customers against the poor guy that has to endure what's not his fault.

Its a conspiracy man!

+1 if anyone gets that reference.

moonalien · July 30, 2018 3:31PM

yea does this mean the radio silence will continue till the end of august now or longer & the hothfix & patch are pushed back even further?...

No, ben gets off vacation on August 6th. He doesn't need to walk to do his job and his injuries aren't that serious.

And we don't need Ben to deploy a patch or hotfix. Hes just the community manager. I don't even think hes a dev tbh.

I wish him the best, he'll definitely need it once he gets back.

Ben seems like a cool dude. I hope he recovers quickly.

To the people more worried about "radio silence", go outside.

stevenomes · July 30, 2018 7:33PM

Ben is a great man

If he gets well that soon, he very well may be in comatose for a few months.

Empire176 · July 30, 2018 9:15PM

UNSANE_fan75 · July 30, 2018 9:42PM

Best of luck on the recovery, @F8RGE !!

Spiito · July 30, 2018 9:44PM

Wow, he's lucky that it's not worse, considering!
Still though, injuries on vacation really suck, takes away from time spent enjoying things to the fullest. I hope Ben feels better and recovers soon.

LeftTurnus · July 30, 2018 10:02PM

Ben : Sorry to hear about the bad luck. Hope you didn't get too hurt and recover quickly.

WodiQuix · July 30, 2018 10:21PM

Oof! That must've hurt! That's probably how Boba Fett got the dent in his helmet!

Haha. Yeah. I died. Full health lol.

UnknownGamer · July 30, 2018 11:54PM

I hope Ben Walke can turn his vacation days to sick days... That way he can get an enjoyable vacation still, just at a later date. Seems only fair, right? Because he earned his vacation days 110%, because regardless of how people think he has done, he has clearly given more than his all to his work. I think everyone can appreciate and agree with that.
Get well soon!

T0TALfps · July 30, 2018 11:55PM

Thread has been cleaned,

Thanks.

Get well, Ben Walke!
