Glad i saw through OP: Goliath as a PR move to get people playing the game. While MP is fun, the ending derailed any fun i could have had in the future in MP. since everything i do in multiplayer is invalidated by the ending. Also killed my will to play the other games again, because again...the ending invalidates everything i have fought or will fight for in the Mass Effect universe.

I don't want to see Bioware suffer. But I, like a lot of people, invested a lot of time in this series that just felt cheapened by the ending. If they're willing to work with the fans on this somehow, I won't have any problems with them at all.

thats called collaterall damage lets just hope that we can fixe the damage we did and every one is happy wow just like the end i wanted

the ball is in bioware camp now the longer this goes on the harder it will be to fix the damage

I'm liking the content of the OP. People, go back and read the OP.

Derailing the thread is counter productive.

You're right, I've done a fair bit of that, tonight, so I hold my hands up and apologise.

As someone who's worked in customer service before (and currently in marketing), it's definitely a fascinating topic to keep an eye on, even without my Mass Effect fan hat on.

Agreed. We're like the phalanx (which is kind of ironic in itself, maybe, possibly?) in 300, only with our shirts still on.


What are you talking about? B)

If I wanted to damage Mass Effect, I would be spending my time elsewhere instead of trying to get Bioware to fix it. This is how complaint management and customer retention work. If a business is not maximizing customer complaints, it's probably headed towards bankruptcy.

The more successful we are, the harder it will be to stay on message. Counter forces will ramp up their attacks.
I have no problems with counterpoint, as long as it is presented in a respectful manner. But tact is fleeting for some people.

How about a "good for you," and we can move on.

My friend is starting an ME2 playthrough without her boyfriend so she can play at her own pace (faster than him). She is intending to carry on with ME3. As much as I want to save her the heartache, I want her to be able to make her own informed decisions without my influence (even though I got her into ME1 and 2 in the first place). I think she has a vague idea of the storm surrounding this ending, but still wants to see it through. Time to sit back and wait. Maybe by the time she gets around to ME3's ending something will have come of all of this. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to go all inspirational, now, with a quote from Firefly, for whenever anyone feels like they're too tired to carry on...

When you can't walk, you can crawl. And, when you can't crawl... there'll be someone to carry you.


Thank you I needed that :) Was really low for the last day after Hudson's comment.

Take my love.
Take my land.
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care,
I'm still free.
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black.
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land
And boil the sea.
You can't take the sky from me.

Have no place I can be
Since I found Serenity.
But you can't take the sky from me.


.....you can't stop the signal. Hold the line!

This is great! We will not back down! We will not submit! We will not lay down on our backs and take what we've been given with silent acceptance!
We will be loud! We will be proud! We are a united fanbase that spands nations and ethnics unified for one thing and one thing only! A new ending. A satisfying ending that takes into acount for almost every decision you've made for the past five years!
Some call us crazy, other tell us to let it go! To accept it!
WE. WILL. NOT.
We will fight with our words, not with our fists!
We will NOT play multiplayer, we will NOT buy DLC, and we will NOT buy ANY comics, books, or toys until we are acknowledged.
As more and more people finish Mass Effect 3 our number will grow and our voices will become louder until Bioware confirms that we are not a minority, but that we are the majority and that our passion for this universe goes beyond what we see on our TVs or moniters. And that Bioware gives us what we diserve as long time fans. A satisfying ending!

WE WILL HOLD THE LINE!

I'd just like to remind everyone discontent with the ending to follow through with their words. Do not buy DLC, do not play multiplayer because of Operation Goliath, keep holding the line.

I finally finished and sent my e-mail as a part of the letter campaign. It was difficult and took longer than I thought...perhaps due to activities earlier that happened to involve alcohol.

Don't worry, I did spell check and had a sober fellow proof read. But I...may have ended the letter by saying "Cheers!"

Has anyone received any direct response?

Continue holding the line how you see fit, gents and ladies.

Jayne!
The man they call Jayne!
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
He stood  up to the man and gave him what for.
Our love for him now, aint hard to explain,
the hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!

Sorry, could not resist.  :)

That said I am still holding the line. . . 

One margarita at a time!

I had intended to replay the entire series after playing through the last game. That just feels foolish after the ending. I am currently uninstalling all three games to avoid the temptation.

news from german front (oh my this sounded kinda weird o0 ). The poll on gamestar.de

Gamestar Poll

50,5% this end destroys whole serie
9,5% i am dissapointed
5,6% was ok, could be better
6,7% different then expected, but still good
3,6% very good, exactly wat i've hoped for.

i think it's very clear picture.

Haven't been playing swtor lately, but when this occured in past MMO's, I'd usually just keep my account running. Not this time.

Holding of lines might have occured while writing this.
