You know what happened? I waited 12 (TWELVE!) *********** HOURS to try and get it resolved. I was bounced from department to department, always on hold, always getting people who couldn't speak English worth two *****, and always on a line with this constant "buzz" like the customer service department was housing colonies of live bees.

It was the most awful godforsaken experience I have ever had.

AND GUESS WHAT? When I finally got a manager, they told me "We are sorry sir, there is nothing we can do for you. Is there anything else I can help you with"?

What this meant for me: I lost an entire account that I had with all my characters and EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING.

No refund. No ability to cancel sub (Had to do it by calling my damn BANK).

I ended up making this account now instead. Still haven't got 1/3 of the way to where I was on my other account.

There are dozens more reasons why I hate EA. All of them earned. All of them worthy of my disgust.


Perhaps now you see why I dislike EA. I never hopped on a "hate bandwagon". No, instead of a bandwagon, I was shoved directly into a Ferrari of disgust and anger at EA.

Boom. Now you know.

/endrant
First, 12 hours is nothing. If I need a copier or fax serviced, I am waiting 2-4 days. If my fountain drink machine goes down, I am looking at up to a week for the guy to come by to fix it, OR I CAN PAY to have emergence service, which still takes 2-3 days. A 12 hour turn around is nothing.

Outside of business, if you want to hear about poor customer service, I have a story that is two years in counting, has two attorney's involved, and what started as a 20 dollar mistake has turned into over 10,000 dollars... even though the solution is literally one company CLICKING A BUTTON on a website.

As to your problem... protect your password and don't leave auto login on. If they can not confirm your identity they can not do anything. I have run into the same problem with my own customers. Something happened with an account, and while I FEEL they are being honest, I can not match their data with the account... my options are to go off my feeling, and open myself up to massive lawsuits, or apologize, and explain that I can not help unless I can get the information.

Not defending the CS we have here, it is far from shining, but your problem is more then likely self-created and they can not help you because of the situation. -shrug-

Mass effect 2 was great. Just as good as 1 imo, mass effect 3 will be better than both, i thought the multiplayer was gonna be crappy but it looks like its coming together really nice =)

For sure, I have like 6 "Perfect" saves in varying format..

Female Shepard -- Paragon
Female Shepard -- Renegade
Male Shepard -- Paragon
Male Shepard -- Renegade

Change up the romance arc's and Classes, Vanguard and Sentinel are my favorite, and that combines a few more of my stories.

First run through will probably be male/female paragon.
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

I am certainly going to buy ME3, be it at launch or later, but I'm concerned it might go the way of DA2.

The addition of multiplayer is detestable to me. Sure, Bioware can walk and chew gum at the same time, but I can't help but feel it's going to be an atrocious waste of time. I like some of the things they did with ME2's combat but it should never be the focus of the game, and never in lieu of exploration and character development.

ME2 had great combat compared to ME1, but like SWTOR it was practically on-rails. I'm worried they might take the same approach here and dumb down the RPG elements even more.

abso-friggin loutley !!!

its MASS EFFECT SON

srsly , i liked the first one soooooooo much ( 2nd one was good but **** compared to the first one in terms of history) that i played it thru about 20 dam times


the story about the reapers and bigger than life galactic conflict with a species that cant even be defined in normal terms is what i want to experience , not collectors doing something that ive yet to understand in the grand scheme of thinngs

so yes, i will be friggin buying it , what ive seen of it is ME 1 story continuation with the combat improvements of ME 2 , whats not to love?


i cant wait!!!!

I agree. I'm probably one of the few people who actually liked ME2 way more than ME1 :P, but mostly just for the characters. I enjoy games with a lot of humor, and ME2 had me rolling many times. That and I enjoyed trying to get all the different endings
Spoiler

Anyways as far as the question, I probably won't buy immediately on launch, just because I'll be quite busy and won't have a lot of time to play, but I'll definitely be picking it up as soon as I have some time to spend on it.

ill admit , yes , me2 was so "on rails" and dumbed down that it feel more like an action title than anything, regardless , the story is so awsome that i think its worth buying to play that part of the game even if its n rails" (refering to me3 here) because frankly it looks downright amazing , and while i was a bit dissapointed with me2 because i was missing certain rpg elements, it was still a blast to play , combat much more fluid and streamlined

as long as they don screw up the story (wich i will NEVER forgive , not even kidding here) im a happy camper

DONT F IT UP PLEASE! this is like biowares god of war, you do NOT change god of war , period.
