Chris did say they fixed the issue, not just suppress the error message. If all they did was suppress the error message , then I doubt Chris would put in writing that the error has been fixed. I'm just saying from his message, he's saying that those of us facing this issue (pun intended) will be able to successfully import our faces from ME1 into ME3. If they accomplished that, I really don't see a further issue. That's how this whole thing started, We could not import our face from ME1 to ME3, and Chris is saying that has been fixed. And from what I've been reading, the face was the only import issue, all your story choices make it through just fine.
Problem: Face could not import porperly
Resolution According to Bioware: Faces can now import properly pending the next patch.
The problem is the only issue that has actually been unequivocally acknowledged by Bioware as being an issue is the face refusing to import at all, and an error message popping up saying this. This means that when Chris Priestly says that the issue is fixed, that could be all he's referring to. The other part of the face import problem is the faces looking different when they do import, and it being impossible for some to recreate their Shepard's face, and all requests to clarify whether or not this latter part is also part of what's been fixed seem to be falling on completely deaf ears.
This is a follow up to my other post btw:
The entire issue which includes the following: faces from ME1 OR ME2 not importing at all OR properly, was summarized by Chris' statement that the issue of faces not importing properly has been fixed. I really believe Chris means that ALL face import issues, whether or not it's a face that can't be imported or a face that imported incorrectly has been fixed. He made a general statement addressing a general issue. You wouldn't have to recreate your face if the import issue is fixed. Whether or not they added facial assets, or any other kind of coding etc, the issue according to Bioware has been fixed and will be included in the next patch.
I find it really hard to believe that Chris would make an announcement in writing unless he had all his bases covered. A company like Bioware, any company as a matter of fact, needs to be extremely careful with what they say and how they say it. Chris' statement in my opinion and understanding, addresses all face import issues. If it doesn't, and after the patch there still resides some sort of face import issue, Chris will have a lot more problems on his hands.
It's why he's not saying anything concrete because Community members like those of you on this thread are frustarted to the point where we're actively disecting a Bioware employee's statements down to the last letter when it's meaning is most likely just face value (another pun intended.) It's why the other two Bioware reps did not say anything concrete at all. And honestly, I can't blame them for doing that.
Many of you are asking for answers and explanations as to why this happened. I doubt that they'll give a direct answer before the patch arrives. My theory is that they'll wait until after the patch is delivered to everyone, then let someone higher up the corporate chain address the issue.
Simply put, those moderators and even Chris are probably not even authorized to directly answer the questions we are asking. All they can say is what has already been said. Trust me I understand in FULL that the lack of answers to our questions can be infuriating. I'm right there with each one of you asking "How did this slip testing?" Stop and think about it for a second. If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you want to answer a question like that with caution? With preparation? With the support of Bioware and EA upper management? I'd be scared to answer one of the Bioware Community Members when they ask me a question like that.
Look everyone, we're here voicing our frustrations. To everyone who owns the game and has been affected by this issue, you have the right to voice your complaint. I stand with you, and so do many others on this forum. Let's just be civil, reasonable, and realistic when we contribute.
I've decided for myself that I'm going to wait for this patch and maybe even start another thread when it does get released asking the simple question of "How did this happen?" If enough of us ask this question in a civil manner, I sincerely believe that we'll get a civil answer in response. For now, let them do what they have to do on their part so we can get back to doing ours....playing a videogame.
