Hi,

Bw stated it is fixed but only it has to be tested.. I can understand the testing period. BUT! i do expect that the fix does solve all problems with Haircuts, eyebrows, skincolor, scarves and everything and i expect that i can import Nicole Shepard that started Me1 into ME2 into Me3.

If the fix doesnt do that... well... then..... we will have Doom 3 :) (were all hell breaks loose)

Please keep us Updated Bioware! But i have to tell you also that i am so deeply dissapointed in your customer service that ill never ever am gooing to spent 1 cent anymore on any of your pre-order products.

I payed 90 Euro.. and now i see the game is available for 35 euro! ( In Europe) ( and lots of used ones for 20 )


Take Care

Yes, my e-mail support was abysmal...they gave me canned replies about using cloud(I never did, do not intend to)
Then they suddenly started calling me "ben" (not my name)
Such poor 'service'...
I gave up, luckily there is a patch coming!
:lol:

So I'm 99% certain the answer to this is "no chance", but I'll ask it anyway.

What are the chances of getting a patch that will update a face that has already been imported in a game in progress? Like many others, I couldn't wait, and am currently playing my "failed plastic surgery" Shepard. A retro-active fix would make me ecstatic, but I know better than to hope for such a thing.

Still.....


I would guess that there probably won't be any chance of this happening. I think the patch will fix the problem by directly loading the headmorph that was stored in the ME2 save file. This can only be done during startup I would imagine, so there's probably no way for this to be fixed once your Shep is in game.

I'm also thinking once the patch is out, you might not be able to customise your ME2 Shep face in ME3, similar to how ME2 wouldn't let you customise an imported ME1 face. Of course I could be wrong, so I guess we'll see once the patch is out.

This is a transcript of a chat convo I had with a rep a few hours before the latest update

Ravit: Thanks for contacting EA Help! My name is Ravit how may I help you?


you: hi


Ravit: Hello


you: I have a question about the ME3 import face problem


you: I know there is probably no ETA for a fix, but is ti at least seriously being worked on so that the patch will be out soon?


Ravit: Yes but let me know your exact ;issue.


you: ok. Mass effect 1  faces wont import


you: I get the please remake your fac error


you: that thousands etc also are having problems with if they started in mass effect  1


Ravit: Do you want to import data from ME 1 to ME 3?


you: Yes, my gameplay data imports fine, but my character's face does not import


you: because of the changed character creator for mass effect 3


Ravit: Do you want to import characters face?


you: yes


you: I honestly havent even played the game because how big of a letdown/mistep that was


Ravit: I can understand your concern. Please dont worry, I will try my best to help you out.


Ravit: May I have your full name please?


you: when I bought the collectors edition and went up at midnight, only to find the glaring error


you: thanks


you: (my name edited)


Ravit: (Name) Which platform (Xbox , PC, PS3  are you playing the game on?


you: Xbox


Ravit: Alright wait for a while.


you: ok

3-5 minutes



Ravit: May I know you gamertag?


you: mlouden03


you: however i do have another


you: my mass effect saves are on an older one


you: Gaiusbaltar1


you: which currently doesnt have live


Ravit: Thank you for the information. Would
you mind, if I place your chat on hold for couple of minutes to
investigate your case?


you: sure


Ravit: Thanks.

5-10 minutes later



Ravit: Thank you for waiting. I really appreciate your patience


Ravit: (Name) I have confirmed about your issue and as you have already imported data successfully and just having problem to import character's face. Apparently the issue that you have is game-play
related. If I had the relevant information, I would have
handled your query myself. To get your query addressed, I would suggest
that you visit the game forum which is visited by the Developers who
design these games and are game play experts.


you: so you have no idea? XD


you: okiedoke

At this point I just closed out..he didn't even offer to refer me or transfer me to another chat person or something or even give me a # to call that department directly.

Honestly if it looks the same as ME 2 I wouldn't care if I can't give him a different haircut or whatnot as long as this is finally resolved. Stuff has already been spoiled for me and its annoying (especially by someone who just watched youtbe vids of the ending and spoiled stuff against my requests for him not to)

Lol. While reading this all I kept thinking about was the commercial with the customer support guy Peggy.

Let it be known that at 3:17 AM on March 24 I started my 3rd seperate playthrough instead of completing the stories of Phil or Jack Shepard. I am glad a patch is on the way, dissapointed that the problem wasn't noticed earlier, and giving a stern look and a finger wag to Bioware. Shame on you for discriminating against us hardcore ME fans.

I'm just confused as to why they couldn't even give a rough estimate. A couple days? A week? A month?

I'm delaying playing through ME3 for just this...

I must say that I am really disappointed how game developers these days rush their games out too early without even checking the bugs. Of course we all have waited ME3 but I've had the game for two weeks now and I don't even want to start playing without my characters face. It just wouldn't be right. Bethesda released Skyrim and the textures were all messed up in the Xbox version and the game was basically unplayable for weeks until they finally released the patch. That is just inexcusable. I expect more from game developers like these.

That's one of the only gaming review sites that even acknowledge this bug. I can't be bothered to sign up though.

Reminds me of the first thing I do every time I buy a new console game on launch day...

... download the patch. :P

Still, as long as its not like the 14gig Witcher 2 patch it had after launch, and luckily it was playable, unlike the PoC Dead Island. (Never ever gonna believe cool advertising again...)

Sounds like theres a lot more rigmarole now with appeazing Sony and MicroSoft before anything can go up.

I too am one of the victims who can't import their custom faced Shepard and I am not going to play ME3 till I can. However, I keep reading every where how people demand a different ending. The attention it gets and how everybody is talking about it, is already a big spoiler to me but I'm worried about something else.

I don't know if Bioware is actually going to change the ending because I don't read any news related to it but I do notice that Bioware is giving this concern a lot of attention. So I'm worried that maybe they have plans to change the ending and include that in the same patch we've been waiting for and that we'll never get to see the original ending if we keep waiting for this patch.

Can anyone confirm that this is not going to happen?

I think they will add a new ending, not delete the old one, That would be awesome cause you will have a way more to finish the game.

They've said that they were not changing the ending, just adding clarifications and closure. I would be surprised if we get more than a slideshow at the end explaining the fate of our squadmates and the long term results of the choices non adressed by the ending (and considering the ending that's a tall order).

I think the ending stuff would rather be DLC, but that's just speculation from me.
You could always watch the originals on youtube if you would want in the future, if they do change it.

And please think of the spoilers people. Most of the people here haven't even started playing.

Well, as far as I'm concerned they did fail, and they did fail hard. This problem should have never been there, and the communication about it was terrible. That aside, we haven't got a working import yet, so no need to thank anyone imo.

Urm, oh, and nothing against you personally, Scam_poo, I'm just a little bitter about this by now. Posted Image

There will be no new endings.  They did promise DLC that will elaborate on the current endings and clarify a few things, but nothing more.

They already failed. They failed with ME3 and as a company. They were doomed to fail the moment they got bought out by EA.

Also I wouldn't get on my knees for Bioware just yet if I were you. They say they fixed the problem. But whether or not the fix actually works for all of us still remains to be seen.
