Since I was out of the country for my holiday, I had a friend collect my MP packs. I'm happy they did so as I now have a Valiant II. Yay!

Somehow, however, Origin must've gotten confused. Because when I logged back in for the first time I had to sync my local with the cloud data. That seemed reasonable, as my local data could not contain the new packs. But that somehow ends up with my SP savegames being overwritten and my friends SP on my PC! My savegames are completely gone from the folder.

How is that even possible? These are different accounts. I don't end up with my friend's MP data, wish I had as they have much more weapons, classes and gear than I have..

Not that big of a problem for me as I hadn't had time to play the EC yet and had not done my current, main, SP playthrough in one go and it was confusing me as to which missions I had completed and such.

But it doesn't seem to be the way it should work. Either the savegames should be added instead of overwritten or they should just be linked to the proper account and not getting transferred at all.

Anyone else have something similar happen to them?

UP BUG! I LOST MI LOCAL SAVEGAMES! FIX IT!

First off, the commendation packs aren't stored locally, but on the ME3MP servers. Second, when your friend logged in on your account using his/her computer, Origin decided it would take the ME3 saves on that computer and upload them as the cloud saves. It is for reasons like this that I will (almost) never overwrite local saves with cloud saves. It sucks that you lost everything, but let this be a lesson for the future. Always back up your saves, and it's generally better to overwrite cloud with local than vice cersa.

So, the system used is stupid, as it should never DELETE savegames belonging to a totally different account and totally different character, but let's get used to it? I still think it is a bug and that it wouldn't be that hard to fix this. Nothing is being overwritten here, as that would imply replacing your savegame for your character with a version stored in the cloud. If the cloud can't see the difference between my account and my friend's and/or between various characters, then that is a bug. Yes, it is good to know it works that way so you won't risk it, but no, it shouldn't work this way.

As for the commendation packs being stored on the ME3MP servers, that was the whole point. Unable to go online and redeem them, someone else had to do it for me. At that time, I had no reason to expect it would work this way. Sad to see this problem, while easily fixable, still exists. Apparently, not everyone knows about this.
