oldshatterhand Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The game is broken, servers will be offline for more then 12 hours during primetime and we are supposed to care about some stupid contest? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasherUK Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Shipping is probably a couple hundred bucks... But I could use the money from the statue so I'll enter the contest. Probably can get $3k-4k or so for it. Unlikely, if you ebayed it you might get back the cost of the shipping. If it was darth vader then maybe, but the character just isn't famous enough to get that much. Edited April 13, 2012 by NasherUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semitote Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I almost entered for a chance to win. But then I read it was 159 lbs. Staying away from those shipping costs. Oh, and who would want this? Edited April 13, 2012 by Semitote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Sheridan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 1) U.S only 2) You have to pay shipping and tax Fail contest which leaves me with the desire to tell you where to stick that figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth-Rion Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Alyson Bridge Community Coordinator ^ Really? Servers go down twice for maintenance and won't be up for another couple/five of hours due to patch rollback, party bomb removed, ranked games put on hold, most of 1.2 legacy held for 1.3... and no info until you read the link to inform us non-americans that we can't sign up... Coordination is a weee bit off, dontcha think? Were you thinking people were going to be jumping for joy at this? Maybe remove the post and try again in a few days.

Urael Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah first they insult loyal customers by saying loyalty and value are based on the level of your toons. Now this is supposed to excite us? AND they dis their non-US customer base? WHO THE HECK IS IN CHARGE OF PR at EA/BW? /facepalm. Here more soma for the masses ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allumis Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Boo! Why no love for those of us outside the US?! Its already bad enough that when any maintenence happens on the servers those not in the US lose a vast majority of their play time and now this? Bioware is based in the US... they are making it US only because contest rules are incredibly fickle when you try to go international with it. Every country has different laws so it makes it incredibly difficult. It has nothing to do with them favoring the US or something. They are based there, so they can hold contests there very easily. Well perhaps they need to have a dynamic website that changes based on your region so that only the right customers see the right information. It just makes the rest of us seem very unloved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BossJawa Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The game is broken, servers will be offline for more then 12 hours during primetime and we are supposed to care about some stupid contest? Really? nail on the head, not to mention after completely screwing over and telling a good proportion of their customer base they are not valued. They decide to tell us in one of the most damaging PR failures seen for a long long time they launch a competition that A) only USA can enter again alienating the rest of the world customer base B) if you win you have to pay the postage yourself - just lol Just when I thought BW couldnt show just how amateur they are they raise the bar. great entertainment just wish the comedy show was on TV not my PC screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they don't tell us it's US Only and on the contest page you can choose whichever country you want. Some American might win then everyone else gets spam, spam spam. How hard is it to type in the First Post "oh and BTW, Despite what the contest page might make you believe this is U.S Only" Finally patch 1.2 Downtime 12 hours. oh 30 days for Free, NOPE! ok thats fine, im just an illoyal unwashed commoner, wow a Contest, US ONLY! wont you PELASE stop ***** with us BW!

It was always going to be US only. I'm pretty sure we all knew that before we clicked. That's no excuse for the community team to post inaccurate information to the forums again. Not doing so well on that this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
