recommended to repost the information here, so that the people here can see it.
I hope it can help, or at least be taken into consideration.
This past Sunday, I tried to start up Mass Effect 2 for the first time, and
when I went to download my DLC, I was stuck on a screen that said "Please
Wait" for an hour. I deleted and reinstalled all the game data, and spent
another hour at the same waiting screen. I then deleted and reinstalled
everything again, and spent another forty minutes on the waiting screen before
I turned off my console. I then went online on my computer, and found people
discussing that the EA servers were down for every game.
I don't believe it to be right that servers or a service is down and there's no
way to notify the persons affected by it. I know I wasted a lot of time trying
to start the game (I decided not to start without the comic). I think that
others may have experienced a similar situation. It's not right that people
don't know the services are down, so I came up with a simple idea, I don't know
how plausible it would be, so forgive me if it is not.
I'd recommend that there be something put on the main EA site whenever servers
go down, for any and all systems, a little blurb would be fine, even if it's
just a "we know the servers are down and are working to get them back
up". Maybe there could be an estimate of how long it will take the servers
to be back up. Even better would be a message sent to consoles of people that
try to get on the servers; so that when they try to retrieve stats in BFBC2, or
access the network in ME2, a message intercepts that attempt and says
"servers are currently down- please check EA site for details" or
something of the like.
So, that's it. I hope this can help, in some way.
