Yeah, if everybody stops to look at the date on that message, they'll see it was from mid-March.

So Brenon Holmes (an actual developer) acknowledged this a month ago, while Thomas Abram has continued to go around saying it's perfectly possible, and Mike Gamble has acted like he doesn't even know what it is.


Yeah. Unbelievable.

How do you want them to fix it if they think there is no problem.


Yep. :(

Hmmm... I wonder if Forbes might be interested in this.

Send it. If it's not criminal, it's at the very least despicable.

Point to the prerelease quote from Mike Gamble, stating that all "the same endings and same information" would be available through single-player alone, and point to the official FAQ where they continue to brazenly state that Galaxy at War only provides an alternative to advancement in the single-player game (when it is in fact a requisite in this case). You could also mention how they've continue to either lie about this or completely avoid addressing it (and how they've locked threads by simply stating that they're not lying, while in fact being actively engaged in deception).

Apologies, then.  Must have been buried in FTL forums... Image IPB

And another thing. Not only did Thomas Abram keep saying that it is possible to get 4000+ EMS in SP, he locked down the thread talking about this issue as if it was all solved.

Shockingly easy, one small change, if the game guide is absolutely correct, then make the 1000  bonus available to all. The game guide clearly states that if 3 conditions are met (4000 war assets, plus the two other things) then we get the extra scene. That's the only tweak needed.

And if they fix it, EA loses their $10 online service from this game for the many people out there without iOS devices.

They know there's a problem. They removed the sticky for a reason.

I never complained about the fact that Mass Effect was going to receive a multiplayer mode. But I never imagined Bioware would restrict the singleplayer mode in order to get us to play MP or download certain apps. This is really a big deal to me. It's not that there aren't workarounds (modifying the save files), but for Bioware to promise something and then, when confronted with the fact that their claims are "innacurate". not to respond outside of PM's is just something that really makes me question their motives here. Especially for something that seems insanely easy to fix.

No no no the sticky removal was a forum glitch ;)

Mr Abrams pm'd me back and assured me he got 4000+ without playing multiplayer and without using the "Bioware employee complete edition" (apparantly no such thing exists).

Wouldnt say how he managed it, I'm leaning towards :wizard:



Hey at least he replied to you I asked a variant which ran is it possible to get the breath scene without anything outside SP - we shall see if he replies. (live in hope right?)

Kinda annoyed that this was confirmed a month ago (first I've seen it though) and we've been lied to (no other word for it) since then

a quick fix on some values or altering the percentage (or shock horror take it out!) and this all goes away sigh

I messaged Thomas Abrams again (very polietly) to ask why if this was know for this long how come we've been told otherwise since then, I'll let you guys/girls know if I get a reply

According to a PM I recieved from Mr. Abram, the sticky was not removed intentionally.
He blamed a "random server hiccup".

Tell him to get in touch with crimzontearz—the conversation with Brenon is one that occurred via PM, so the original message isn't available to us.

Sorry, being British. Did you send (ping) him the link to the post directly or to the thread (it was a very badly written sentence!). Which you did, in fact do! - I'll sit back in my little box. Hopefully Thomas Abram will follow the link and see that two of his colleagues have said it just can't be done through the sp game without mp or add one.

If that's actually true then I have to question why the sticky hasn't been restored. The fact that they're not restoring it either means they don't care, or they're well aware what the sticky said was innacurate.

This can probably be added to the rather large pile of "misleading" statements to come out of EA in the lead up to and aftermath of Mass Effect 3

But it's one that they can so easily *fix*! That's what is annoying the most about this whole thing, it isn't an issue of "artistic integrety" it's a legitimant broken feature of the game that has been proven over and over by multiple posters. 

Bioware, fix your god damn game!
