ok, i just wanted to clear this up.
Bioware, you have just banned another 731 people from multiplayer.
by doing so you have essentially banned them from your game, as we all know the only replayability is in the MP.
you've likely banned at least that amount in the previous patches as all your more recent patches aimed to rid the game of these game exploits.
so we'll say roughly 2000 people have been banned from MP, and my guess getting rid of the game itself soon followed.
you've lost many, many fans over the fact that the game is incomplete, poorly developed, and an ending filled with unoriginal ideas taken from other sci-fi works.
i'm guessing in the coming weeks more people will be banned for cheating, more people will get rid of their copies because like i said above the game is incomplete, poorly developed, and has the worst ending in gaming.
then there are people like me, who bought ME1 on release day, loved it, and moved on to ME2, enjoyed it, then bought ME3. Where we were disoppointed beyond words. And with each passing day, we care even less, and with continued business practices that are borderline pathetic.
day by day your fanbase shrinks, and your only solution is to ban people for exploiting game mechanics your developers are to lazy to fix.
maybe instead of making new MP character, or new MP maps, or new Hazards or new weapons, or some stupid SP DLC or the N7 HQ, you should fix the issues that already exist.
if you dont want people to cheat, dont give them the tools to do so.
you allowed the game to be sold with these problems, and i think it's time you fix them
It's unfortunate that you feel this way, but it offends me that you are so quick to undermine all the hard work put into the Mass Effect franchise from all the people here at BioWare. Please don't be so quick to judge when you've only seen the unsightly cracks at the tip of the iceberg.
Also, you (and many others) seem to assume that we exclusively ban people for missile glitching. NOT TRUE. There are those who change game files, whether downloading certain programs, digging into the game files, or making programs of their own, to give themselves an unfair advantage and ultimately terribly ruining not only the multiplayer experience, but potentially breaking certain components of the game for many others. We do not have direct control (no pun intended) of these cheater's actions and fixing the glitches won't affect their behaviour in the game.
In my honest opinion, which doesn't neccessarily represent BioWare's point of view, creating more single player and multiplayer content has the ability to positively affect 100% of the player base for ME3 (all who chooses to participate) and keeps the game fresh and exciting, whereas dealing with cheaters and glitchers will affect only those who are unlucky enough to come across them. Not saying that cheaters and glitchers aren't a problem (thats why I'm here), but these kinds of in-game behaviour is hard to avoid and should not be left alone.
Even though you are entitled to have your opinions and arguments, at least have the decency to make them more constructive and not base them on misinformed assumptions. But if it was your goal to offend me, job well done.
it is not, nor was it my intention to offend.
so regarding that i apologize.
Now i do not work in gaming, nor do i work in business, so to say my assumptions are misinformed would be correct. But one thing i am is a customer.
So i have to ask, how would you feel if you spent $80 on something full of errors.
Would you purchse a book if it were missing chapters?
would you purchase a computer if you knew it did not perform the functions as advertised.
perhaps lazy was a strong word, and perhaps it is an word that would not best describe your talents, so again i apologize.
But to this day there is still no fix on the face import bug, despite numerous posts from Bioware officials claiming otherwise.
EA Tech Support has offered me two solutions to this problem. One being that i use a PC mod, despite me telling them i am on a console, and do not feel i should spend another 20$ on a USB. And secondly, To delete my save files and start from scratch.
As i mentioned above and through out my intentions are never to offend, and for that i am truly sorry.
I just feel as someone who has invested quite a lot of money into your game and the series, and have now waited patiently over 7 months i should have recieved the product i paid for.
thank you for your time, and thank you for caring.
Firstly, comparing game errors to a book missing pages...lets not even go there since its arguing apples and oranges.
Secondly, "full of errors" is a bit extreme, I admit there are errors, but the amount of stuff that works properly in the game heavily outweighs these errors. It would actually be more accurate to say the game is "full of technical correctness".
Thirdly, I don't see how being a customer makes it okay to behave immaturely (unless of course you are actually a kid, then I guess it would be somewhat acceptable).
Furthermore, I would assume you've completed the single player campaign even if your Shepard's face was not how you liked it (correct me if I'm wrong, potentially you could've just jumped on the ban wagon of hating ME3's ending without actually playing it), and you also have access to multiplayer (unless you've been banned for cheating). Given this information, you would also have access to all the free Multiplayer DLC and the weekend challenges/events. Plus, you are a part of the BSN community and have access to the N7HQ. If you still feel like you haven't got your money's worth after all this (which you yourself have listed by the way), then you have to actually start playing the game you bought or stop setting impossible expectations then hating BioWare for it.
I would imagine there will be even less people playing the game if, like you desire, all this new content wasn't created, but have perfectly patched all the bugs in the game. Heck even the missile glitchers won't play since there won't be anything new to unlock. Moreover, simply suggesting for BioWare to just focus on fixing the bugs is so selfish and self centered. I would like to stress my point earlier that releasing new content will give something new to 100% of the player base that are able and willing to participate and fixing bugs will only satisfy those who unfortunately comes accross them, are bothered by them and/or exploits them. Its also not like we ignore the bugs entirely either.
Lastly, this forum is about bans and ban waves, single player bugs and EA Customer Support comments go elsewhere.
I have to say though, this rant is not completely directed at you personally. It is more directed at the people like you, who seem to dwell on some of the negative aspects of the game and make insulting comments based on incorrect or false information. These kinds of inconsiderate, disrespectful and immature behaviour is what ultimately makes it hard for BioWare employees (like me and likely many others) to be motivated into socializing with fans through these forums.
