Yeah they are working on it. I wish I had a clue what the situation was on their end but hopefully they have a patch soon.

 You should ask Thomas to mention doing something to the higher-ups about those of us that missed out on the N7 challenges.  ^_^

So I've been playing the data app so my readiness doesnt go all to hell when I can play again and after you buy all the upgrades a new upgrade screen comes up with 3 new upgrades and the first one costs 500k (the longest missions only pull in about 1200k in 5 hrs).

so has anyone actually played this app long enough to get those upgrades? and what do they do once you get them?

After a week of casual use I got it up to about 30 something thousand credits and said to hell with it. <_<


I just ran the numbers and to go from 0 credits fully upgraded to 500,000 in the data pad app it would take you running the 5 highest paying missions consecutively 89 times, at 5 hrs and 15 minutes each equaling 468 hours to complete. That means if you set alarms and redeploy immediately after finishing the missions it would take 19 1/2 full days co complete. And that's just for upgrade 1 of 3. And that's also assuming my math is correct which it could be wrong. (you earn 1,125 credits for the highest payin mission each time and get 5 ships)

Oddly enough, my achievements didn't reset in ME3 when I did the profile hack - well, my achievements reset at first, but after a couple hours of play (I even loaded up XBox Live to get that free multiplayer pack, even though I'm not playing multiplayer), they all reappeared.

Oh no yours achievements don't reset. It's just progress TOWARDS achievements that you haven't already gotten that will have reset. So if you don't have, say, the 5,000 kills achievement and you're 3 kills away? The counter resets back down to 0 when you do the little mod/hack thingy Resante created for us (thanks by the way, hah).

*** EA/BioWare has just added insult to injury by hosting yet ANOTHER challenge that we are unable to participate in due to no fault of our own.  Also another day goes by with no response from BioWare (though I did get a response from Jessica Merizan, BioWare's Community Manager, via her Twitter asking why I was upset in a post I made to her wall.  Upon redirecting her to this list she immediately went silent and ignored all further postings I made to her Twitter).  ***

[quote]Compensation for N7 Challenge Weekend - Operation: Goliath

Dozens of your customers are unable to play your game due to a game-breaking bug that causes the game to freeze at the "press start" screen.  Because of this glitch we are unable to play the game and therefore are unable to participate in this weekend's N7 Operation Goliath challenge and reap the rewards. 

This is no fault of our own and we should not be punished because of a faulty product.  I ask that those of us that are suffering please either be given another opportunity to participate in this challenge shortly after the issue has been resolved or be given the rewards as compensation for the gameplay time that was lost due to this bug.

Thank you.[/quote]

All the users posted above would surely appreciate some compensation for missing out on the N7 Challenge (Operation Goliath) and/or not being able to claim their rewards.

If this isn't fixed by next week I am more than likely going to sell my Xbox, TV and all my games and build a nice gaming computer. At least if that has issues I know it's my fault.

Hey everyone,

I want everyone to know that we are still working on resolving this issue. Once we have a solution, you will know.

If you have any questions, concerns or comments feel free to PM me.


Thomas, thank you... This is all members really want to know. Obviously they want to play the game but knowing that it is coming will help mollify others. If you want a copy of my busted profile you are welcome to the gpd file by the way. I would have thought that as many broken ones you could get would be useful.

This is my plan when i get out of college and find a job. I'm getting tired of the consoles. I've replaced my xbox 4 time already and I'm starting to think I might have to replace my current one as well (They have all been the old style). Back in the day i also had to replace my ps2 a few times before just switching over to xbox.

The files that get removed contain the counters that ME3 keeps track of to give you your counted achievements. For example you need to kill 5000 enemies to get Veteran. When you kill someone it adds to that counter hidden in those 3 files. When you hit 5000 the program goes "Well done" and activates the Veteran achievement which is actually stored somewhere else.


Annoying thing was that I was at between 4500 and 5000 (4500 was my last update) but hey... Just playing last night at MP and a few hours of SP I got 500 kills apparently.... I even got my Master and Commander achievement.

Good to know he's still here, working to address this.  While Ryan Warden is still partying with his new Italian friends.
Thanks for the acknowledgement.  Appreciate it.

Hey guys.... I just thought.

What ever happened to the TC??? The very FIRST guy to create this topic? "Your Dads Husband"?? lol.

Hope he didn't get sucked into a real black hole or something... haven't seen the guy since.
