Repeatedly received error message when I attempted to purchase a veteran upgrade pack. The error message recommended contacting customer support. The forums are much easier to post inquiries in. So is this a temporary connection issue or something like that?

Had the same problem yesterday. I tried like 10 times but no matter what pack I chose it gave me this error message. I haven't tried today yet, but I hope it was some momentary glitch.

Hmm. It appears this bug is all happening today, though that may just be the complaints for it. I'd expect they'd fix this issue in a patch fairly soon.

Ok, so now I can play online again. But I still can't buy anything. But two of my previous atempts to buy veteran packs apperently went through cause I'm 40.000 credits down and I have some new stuff. But I didn't get to chose what to get just got a lot of ammo refills which I didn't want.

I tried purchasing two Specter Packs and on both occasions the game pretty much told me to go to hell. And not only that, when I restart the game my creds are gone.

So the game basically stole 120000 credits from me. I'm pissed as ****.

I can't purchase them either. How annoying.

I logged out and back in and I lost 20000 credits. Thanks stupid Bioware for a fully glitched, awful game.

Exact same thing happened to me. Twice in a row. All my credits are gone and I have nothing. Is the MP even worth continuing at this point if the game steals all our credits? 

I'm a pretty reasonable guy but I'm beyond frustrated at this point. Hours of play with no progression to speak of.

This happened to me last night when trying to buy a spectre pack. Shrugged it off. Tried again today and same thing happened. Lost 120k so far. Bummed out.

Same problem here. I am not able to open veteran packs. I was able to open a recruit pack though. Ill check spectre packs later. It takes the credits if I close the game too so its really annoying.

UPDATE: Spectre packs work.

Did you lose the credits because you were trying to buy more kits? or is it just happening whenever you're playing Multiplayer?    :blink:

I lost my credits the same way as GarGps3. I was kicked from a game the first time so I wonder if it has something to do with losing connection to servers. The second time though I just tried buying a normal spectre pack and it showed the error. I knew then once I turned off ME3 those credits would be gone...

This is odd that it's happening to so many people o a single day.

I'm also out 60k with no Spectre Pack for my troubles. Happened about 30 minutes ago.

Yeah I was buying packs just fine until about 24 hours ago. Now I can't buy a single thing or I will lose my credits. I'm just playing for a little xp right now for my lower level characters. 

Hopefully, BioWare can get it sorted out soon (assuming it's them who needs to do the sorting and not EA).

Actually, it turns out those credits may not have been lost after all. When I check my inventory, I actually have weapons/mods I didn't realize I had. Maybe the transaction did go through successfully on the server but didn't get displayed in our Mass Effect 3 MP game. Still darn confusing though.

Original: Happened twice today as well. Basically if you're buying a pack and it errors out, your credits are gone. Even though your screen restores those credits, you can't buy anything from the store and once you leave ME3, those credits are gone.

I was trying to buy more kits. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes the game just totally locks up after that error and I have to completely shut it down and restart it. Then it usually works for a while again. I decided on buying one of the cheap 5k packs first before trying one of the more expensive ones. If I get an error message I only lose 5k that way. God dammit...

Yeah I noticed it unlocked customization options on some of my characters even though it didn't give me any new weapons or mods. I also got my "get any weapon to lvl 10" trophy this way :D I never got that lvl 10 weapon though, so the game somehow registers the contents but then just steals your money and tells you to **** off.

Hmm, I haven't noticed any surprise upgrades, but now I've lost 80,000 credits and each time the glitch occured I have been booted from the next match and was unable to connect at all afterwards without completely restarting the game.

so after logging in today I noticed my krogan soldier was unlocked (which I didn't have before). So i checked all my weapons and some were upgraded. So I did get new items, it just doesn't say "New". Still sucks though cus I may never know fully what I get unless I checklist every weapon and attachment I have before I buy something. They really need to fix this asap.

Yesterday it worked for me to play and collect some credits, quit the game, restart the PS3, start the game again and do my purchases.

But apparently not any more. :P
