Of course they will release a global patch, have you any idea how much it costs for them to release a patch over Xbox Live? Thousands of dollars, they can't publish an ad'hoc patch every week for every bug they fix. Beside this, being pissed is more that understandable but that doesn't mean that we can be rude to the developers in this forum because usually, 90% of videogame developers do not even reply in their own forums to their customers/fans, they do not speak to the community, they do not say if they know about a bug, if they are working on it and if a patch will be release and when. While here Bioware's rep has already replied to us many times, they have acknowledge the problem, they have explain what probably is the problem (a race condition) and they said they are working on it, what else do you want them to tell you? Something like "Yes, today we have changed line 1044 to 1126 in loadingcontent.cpp, the problem is the resource loading function Load(); that does this and that".. Really who cares about what they do, I want them to fix the bug not to teach me how to program in C++.
I know that releasing a patch in xbox live is expansive, still this is not my problem, was expansive the game too, and i paid for something that shuould work just fine. So why should i think about how much could it cost to bioware publish a patch, and why Bioware should not think about how much made me pay for the game that don't work?
As I said in the post you quoted, 90% of game developers do not even reply to bug reports in their own forum, Bioware's rep did, so saying that they are not thinking at our problem is not true, they even told us that the problem is a "race condition" and that they are now examining a crash dump, what more do you want them to do to prove you that they care and are working on it? A photo of a programmer scratching his head would not help us or them at this point.
I was arguing about your statement "Of course they will release a global patch, have you any idea how much
it costs for them to release a patch over Xbox Live? Thousands of
dollars, they can't publish an ad'hoc patch every week for every bug
they fix.", I was asserting that i don't care if they have to pay for the patch, and yes i think they should release a specific patch for us, cause that bug damage the experience itself, it's not a question of glitch or a freeze that accour on a rare and specific condition. To be realistic the game is still playable but the experience is compromised to the point that a lot of people won't play the game at all.
Even so, i'm happy that Bioware reply to the comunity, still i'm not happy that after a week the reply is "we think to have understood the problem", so what? Do you think to solve it and when? I'd like to hear something alike. To me the "race condition" has no meainig, i can't understend that, to me it should be a problem with Turian? o Asari? What race? To made the campagin should i bring Sheppard and Vega only? What... Or Race is a word used to define a runtime error?
What i know is i could not play that mission and i lost the char i would like to have....
Said that, will i play ME3? For sure, i love the game and i will play it more than one, so i have the change to get that missed char the second time. (A good way to make the 2nd run different)
