Sounds like a plan. Wish you hadn't picked a weekend I had to work, but *sigh*...I will make every effort possible to follow the directive.

"Take back the Line!! Hold the Starchild by his annoying little neck and ....!!"


Oops, sorry, keepin' it civil. ;)

Mission parameters locked in. See you folkses on Apr 28th (won't see you on Apr 29th). Not sure if I can ... stay ... away for 24 hours... will ... try.

Good luck with that, idiots seem to be the only people I get teamed up with anymore.

Due to me being too afraid to download the patch to my XBox, I'm never online if I play ME3 anyway.

I'm in! I just hope I remember to not go on the forums on the 29th. It's basically become a part of my daily routine to come on here and see what has happened since I went to sleep.

Really? You think all ending haters, or more specifically people who protest at the ending are people that suck at MP but that dedicated people that love ME3 are the only good players. So if people who do this means there will be less bad players in MP....

Seriously... if I wanted an example of delusional thinking this is it.

Consider that most people that are highly enraged with ME3 are probably not playing ME3 multiplayer or do so only sporadically. Also consider that even if they do so often, they are not the only ones that play online. It doesn't take an expert to know that most of the MP players are players that are satisfied with the game or just don't care about the ending fiasco (despite what personal opinion may be).

So you can assume that if a lot of people decide to enact this plan, most will be either those that don't MP or if they are the ones that do, will not be the significant numbers of regular MPers. You will probably notice a very small drop in players online and they will be just as crappy as they ever were.

Now if you look careful part of this movement asks people to actually log into the game on Saturday. This is the exact reason why, the organisers assume a lot of the disgruntled fans don't play ME3 that much and if they do, not that often. The point is to create a spike of people online on Saturday (to show how many would), and then the dissappearence of that spike on Sunday (to create contrast).

It saddens me I need to explain this or that people seem to not understand this.

As someone who has organized successful campaigns before I want to say this idea is very sound and can work. Demonstrations like these are taken noticed when big enough groups of people are involved. Good luck, you have my support and I have this set on my calendar.

Definitely in on this. Good idea, OP!

I don't tweet, so I hope that EA/BW pays attention to the origin numbers.

If you really want this to work, make the turn off period a week. A day isn't going to mean much for them but if they see what it's like to not have people on for the whole week, that could send a clear message. I've got my final exam the day after that weekend anyways so I doubt I'm going to be playing anything on the 29th =P

Honestly... at this point i couldn't care less about it. As you said.. its their best and last chance to get me back as a customer, but this also implies they already have lost me as a customer.

I am waiting the whole thing out and i don't care if they give it their all or only half-a** it. This extended cut will decide wheter i am buying future Bioware products without waiting for prices to drop to 2nd hand deals or glowing customer reviews. They are giving it us for free, so i am willing to listen to what they have to say.

The thing is.. i don't plan to goad EA into giving them fundings by doing anything more than i already did. Why? Because if they don't care right now to do it properly, they won't do their next thing properly.

ME3 isn't the first game they screwed up. I didn't care for how ME2 felt rushed, because i thought they did ME2 in the way they did it, so we don't needed to go through introduction processes for ME3. So we wouldn't need to build up and upgrade our Ship and whatnot. Maybe we'd get a cool hideout if you don't destroy the collector base or something... but well thing is.. ME2 felt rushed to me, but i didn't care, because i thought it was a plan.

Then there was Dragon Age 2. Which didn't even just make me feel like it was rushed because the story wasn't up to their game, but because the whole thing was a rush job from start to the end. Its level design was horrible, its story fell appart in the last act. I couldn't bring myself to care about the characters, i was forced into situations where i had to be a jerk to gay people because i didn't want to be gay, and basically the game was just substandard. I've actually seen Indi Companies produce higher quality games.

Now there is ME3, which was a good game for most part until they decided to flush the whole Series down the toilet. From what they said we'd get and what we got in the end i can only say "it was rushed, otherwise there is no reason an ending which is everything they promised over and over again it wouldn't be".

So quite frankly, if they don't make good on their word now with the Extended edition and give it their all, i am done with them. I am actually already done with them, they scammed me out of my money for DA2 and ME3.. and without titles like DA:O, Jade Empires, KOTOR and others i would have already walked away. I had probably told people not to buy it, like i did, and that would have been the extend of it. Only because i enjoyed a lot of their past works i am still here and giving them a change to turn it around.

This isn't me feeling entitled to something, this is me being scammed into buying something i wouldn't have bought if i had known the state it was in before i bought it. This is me being upset you buy a cat in a bag with Videogames and getting told i am a whining crybaby for complaining if the cat turned out to be a rat.

So their extended edition is their chance to make it up to me. I give them that chance. I don't expect them to take it and i won't go out of a limb to help them. I already accepted that Bioware isn't what it used to be anymore. There are a lot of other companies that i can pay money for my entertainment. And anyway.. Bioware isn't a singular studio anymore. Since 2009 they are just a branch of EA.. EA merged Bioware and Mythic into their RPG and MMO devision. So its not like there is some sort of Studio left. Not like it used to be at least.

Besides, even if they give it their best and it doesn't meet my expectations i will walk away anyway. It doesn't matter either way. If i like it i stay, if not i am gone. Simple as that. If they don't give it their all, i can't expect them to give their best with the next product either. The extend of the Extended Cut decides what i believe i can expect from Bioware in the future.

EA not funding them properly? Well then thats what i can expect with future titles as well. More Rushjobs and underfunded projects. So whats the point in trying to show EA anything?

They do or they don't.. there is no try with this one. No failsave, no third chance. They set it right or we part ways. No hard feelings. Its not like they need my purchase anyway.


This is a well thought out post, and I can see your point. My counterargument is that if you don't participate, your voice is not heard. By never logging in, we are effectively "silenced" and thus can be ignored through wilful ignorance. You are right that if it takes this much efort to get something good made, the prospects for future games are not that rosy. Right now I'm just concentrating on this game, because I loved it and can't stand what it became in the end. Thanks for listening!

 Oh, one other thing!

For those of us with iPad or iPhones, we shouldn't use the Datapad App either on the Off-day.

Just realized (since I'm pushing that button every 108 minutes or so....in my wait for the DLC) 

So, in that App, log out from Origin on Sunday! 
- there is an orange round thingie there in the top right corner - 


Modified OP with your suggestion. Thank you!

Sounds like another way to protest :P

I dont think ill be joining you guys. If they cant get the message by now then i dont see any reason to offer anymore support

The best kinds of protests should create a ripple effect in the public so it becomes a PR issue. Like the cupcakes. A statistical variance on Origin that can only be read by those in EA seems a bit too futile


If we can get enough numbers, then it will become a PR thing, I hope.
