this whole mess has made me realize if I'm going to have to wait over a month to play the game I might as well wait 6 months down the road. The game will most likely be on sale for half the price and be in actual working condition at that time.

Basically the same paradigm as with Windows releases. The world-wide release is actually the full beta, SP1 would be the first certified gold release, etc...

If this was released honestly - as Mass Effect 3: The Global Beta we'd have been able to adjust our purchase desire to our sensibilities, avoiding all the churn.

Those who don't mind bugs could have participated, those who do would have had the option to wait for SP1 - er, uh patch 1.

Course the mass effect of that approach would have been to massively reduce the opening buy - as we all know absolutely intolerable for TPTB at EA / Bioware.

Lesson learned: Do not upgrade to Windows 8 before SP1 is released. And never again purchase an EA title before the first patch is released.

Regarding the Mass Effect character creation tools, in the original game it was nigh on impossible to create a good looking Shep. Almost all custom Shepards looked absolutely awful.

Speak for yourself - all of mine looked pretty good, which makes it all the more annoying that ME3 can't import them accurately.

To the poster who claimed I wasn't a fan of the first two games, try this: I've played ME1 so much in the last four years that my best playthrough was achieved with a custom Shep I made based on the ME2 creation tools, using the sliders & accurately adding up the numbers in relation to the face code. 

I used this Shep to play through 1 & 2, & now I've imported him into 3 using the face code from ME2 (+ I tried the exact sliders, the result was identical). He looks different but just as good & he no longer has weird facial expressions (example: every chat scene with Yeoman Chambers in ME2 would be visually really weird, like he'd suddenly aged). 

I can't complain about a glitch that prevents the import of characters who didn't look great to begin with + I find it difficult to imagine the angry superfans here have only ever played ME1 & 2 with the same Shep created four years ago. Of far more importance were the decisions I made in 1 & 2 carried though into ME3, in that respect it works fine.

Well, firstly, hate to disappoint you, but every Shepard I have played, I created in ME1 and played through ME1 before importing to ME2 and playing through that, so your comment about finding it 'difficult to imagine' this is true is sounding very hollow to me.

Secondly, to put this another way, your Shepard also looks different, but, because you don't care that's the case, you don't see why anyone else should care.  Well, leaving aside that playing through the whole Mass Effect series is supposed to be about taking one character through the story of all three games, not taking a character through the first two thirds of that story, then creating a new one to take through the final third, many people care about things like continuity and connection with the story, which is destroyed by the main chracter suddenly looking very different.  This is one reason (of quite a few) why there is so much uproar about the ending as well - going by what people are saying about it, many people feel that the ending was dropped in from a totally different game and fails to give any sense of conclusion to the story that we have been going through in the whole series.

Still no patch   - dont know how long I wait.  What to play my Shepards I cant use from this face problem

[JBauer24Tactics]

Wow still no update. Utterly pathetic that I bought this game day 1 with DLC and I cannot start it.

There is a lot of us that are tired of whining little babies such as yourself that don't seem to comprehend the words "WE ARE WORKING ON IT AS A PRIORITY"

If you do not understand what those words mean, I suggest you go back to  school and learn english you brainless idiot. There is no need for whining self entitled fools such as yourself to keep going on and on about how something isn't fixed yet. They are aware of the issue, they are fixing it. If you were a true gamer you would know that it can take time to fix somethings. As of right now, all you are is an embarassment to the gaming community and I think you should do the community a favour, pack up your PC or gaming console, take it back to the shop you bought it from and tell them you are too stupid to play games.

Well, for someone who is lambasting others about their poor understanding of English, it seems you're the pot calling the kettle black.  If you have actually read what has been said previously and actually understood it, you would know that, according to Chris Priestly, the 'issue' is 'fixed' in the forthcoming patch.  However, questions remain as to whether it is only the specific issue mentioned in the OP that is fixed, or the other, related problems that have also been reported, as it is not clear what he meant.  Despite this question being asked, numerous times, the closest we have actually got to an answer is Clarian reporting that Thomas Abram said, in a completely different thread, that he believed that the goal of this fix was to fix all face import issues, but that he wasn't sure as it wasn't something he had been working on.  Meanwhile, the response we're getting in the actual official thread about this from Bioware is the occasional tumbleweed rolling on by.

All we know is that the patch has been sent off for certification. How long ago that was or what the patch will fix is unknown to the general user base at this time.

This is what drives me insane.  Admittedly I have been playing alot of MP.  Only because I cannot play the SP campaign atm because I have no interest in playing "imposter shepard".  All of their attention lately has been on MP lately which is sad because it really isnt that great to begin with.

It's funny too because when Bioware first announced multiplayer they said don't worry we're not going to stray from the single player and that all of their attention was still on making single player an epic experience. But instead they botched single player and care only about multiplayer. Which isn't even that good anyway. If I buy another spectre pack and get nothing but upgrades for crap weapons I don't use I'm going to flip.

EA does not like single player games because creating DLC for them takes much longer/more resources, and they cannot have an online pass if there's no multiplayer.  Multiplayer DLC is simple... cut a few sections of singleplayer areas and sell them for $10 as a map pack.
If any EA slave (developer) states that they will not let the single player suffer and will not focus more on it than multiplayer, they are flat out lying.  How I wish I came to these forums before buying the game ~2 weeks ago... I would not have bought it, especially not the collector's edition.

Goddess, this thread grows fast.

So what is it that I can do to help?  I'm not even sure how to read that mapping data in accordance to a face code that's already in the ME2 faces DB or where I generate one on a new ME2 game.

 

Nevermind that, I was just looking for a facecode that didn't suffer from all these import issues, to aid in mapping the two formats. I got a good one btw (here), and managed to map everything but the eye regions without problems. The rest will be done manually, though not now (after patch if still not fixed) and probably not by me (midterms coming up, also pissed off about endings controversy).

Some of what's been done can be seen here. ()
But it probably won't make much sense to anyone unfamiliar with the headmorph concept. Mainly it shows the mapping is fine with exception to the region around the eye lashes, where it breaks down because things are just too close to each other. But they are just a couple hundred vertices so no biggie.

Also the teeth can be ignored since only their overall position is important and ME3 actually got that right.

Soon...

[Rastacles]

It's a long weekend in Canada. I wouldn't expect a patch tomorrow. It looks like it'll be yet another weekend without Mass Effect 3. I'll just have to keep myself busy with Skyrim and Portal 2 I suppose.

And the sad fact is that it's not only EA doing it. Most developers are heading down that path as well. I'm sorry for bringing it up but it's all Call of Duty's fault. Game developers see how much money the COD games bring in so they put multiplayer into everything in hopes that their game will be the next COD. Look at the new Max Payne. Rockstar is making it so that your multiplayer stuff tranfers over to the next GTA. That just proves they are jumping on the multiplayer bandwagon and they want to make sure if you buy Max Payne then you will buy GTA too. Makes me wonder if the single player will be any good in those games considering they are already putting so much emphasis on multiplayer.

And DLC. When DLC was first introduced most games had little to no DLC. And if a game did get some kind of DLC it would be months after the game came out. But now they have day 1 DLC that's locked on discs. Its horrendous. It's a shame the turn the video game industry has taken.

I completely agree.  EA/DICE did the same thing with the Bad Company series... not in that they add multiplayer to a single player game and focused on that, but they took a different shooter that was great, and began copying CoD, which ruined the franchise.
"DLC" that is locked on the disc is an atrocity.  That content was paid for in the original development cycle, then they think they can charge us extra for it.  We, the gamers, need to refuse to buy any game that has locked content on the disc, day 1 DLC, etc... Until a cohesive movement is made, companies like EA and Activision will continue to abuse us, the customers... the FANS.

Edit: Capcom with the latest Street Fighter game.  Locked characters and you have to pay to unlock them.  Didn't they also release the last Resident Evil with locked content on the disc, or is that another company?

Unfortunately a lot of gamers or so called gamers have no problem with developers walking all over them. That's why they can get away with doing things like this. Just look at a lot of the people on here who say the import face bug is "no big deal". The game has a game breaking bug and people can't even start the game but somehow people are ok with it. It makes no sense. And with that type of mentality things will never change.

Another problem is there are a lot more casual gamers then there are hardcore gamers. And if you please the masses you make more money then if you please the minority.

paaaaatchhhhhh...

I can't help but think now that this patch has been delayed by the ME3: Extended Cut DLC. They mentioned certification testing, but do we know for sure the patch is in CT? The Bioware devs might still be writing it.

Or worse yet, they might release both simultaneously.

I really hope that's not the case. If it is I might as well F-it and be down with the game.  It's almost starting to feel more like a chore than something fun at this point.
