Tullenz Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I dont think OP understands how consumer relations or math works. The free day is actually a really awesome deal. Take it and run. I don't think you understand about customer service. Fact is if you want to keep your customers, which this game desperately need, they have to do more than that. One thing you are correct, i can take my money and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishootlasers Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We have lost a day do the technical screw up on BW shift. This missing day is something we had already paid for so for you to compensate us we should receive something greater then what we have already lost and something that reflects the degree of inconvenience and turmoil the downtime caused. A free days play is not compensation but just a reimbursement of payment for a service that we never received. What? You pay $14.95 a month. So... you want financial compensation for 1 day? You want BioWare to write you a check for 50 cents? LOL Get a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraBob_Fl Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Shhh!! Don't tell him that! I was about to trade him a $10 bill for a $100 bill. Sorry, already took it. I just explained to him about how they were both the same size and almost physically identical, but the $10 bill was more energy efficient.

halueryphi Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 That doesn't make any sense. We lost like 8 hours or so and got 24. This^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahzl Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) seriously....im usually in agreement with some of the complaints on here but this just is plain stupidity... they didnt have to give us anything, if you ever played FFXI, you would be bald and suffering with stress after every one of thier major updates if you wanted some kind of compensation for thier downtimes to fix the patch to fix the patch that fixed the patch of the patch that repaired the previous patches patch be grateful and stop whining There were some FFXI patch epochs that I was concerned I might not make it through without chewing my fingernails all the way down to my shoulders. Their patching, installing and downtime was standalone in how awful it could be, and topped off with Playonline, good lord how did I stick that out for 5 years :S - I recall one specific patch which resulted in nearly 15 days total downtime over a month. I think my lifespan got shorter during that most testing of ordeals. The PoL chatrooms were a nice feature though, giving players waiting for the patch a live chat to talk about the preview videos that were streaming from the test realm. I remember watching the little Taru walk about in Whitegate, and getting so excited as we waited for the floodgates to give way, letting in the masses.

Zannis Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think in light of the recent adjustment to the free 30 days, Bioware should close threads like this and be done with it. They've done the right thing by it's customers. Asking for more is flat out unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 And of course they didn't need to compensate at all . . . since maintenance down-time is part of what we agree to when we play. :: thinks someone must have missed the far greater issue/discussion from the past couple days :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevlarto Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I never got anything from my cable company when my cable was out for hours or my cell phone, tower was down near my home, I sure pay allot more for cable and cell service than i do for this game. I think what they are doing is good, and I thank them, where as i shake my fist and curse my cable box..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But had fun with friends and what not. (Also their maintenance time would be our primetimes(sometimes)....Didn't have a problem with it because I could do other things.) But anyways.... Least theyre giving us days. Edited April 14, 2012 by Seravie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxumus Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Dear Bioware, Please give the OP a full set of Campaign and War Hero gear as well as a weapon that will one shot all enemies. He was terribly inconvenienced and had to actually go outside. This is unacceptable. Also please mail him a check for 17 cents which would equate to the 8 hours he was forced to do stuff other than play a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize they're giving you 24 hours of gameplay free, right? Compensation does not mean it will be greater, it means it will be equitable to what you lost.

Balthazod Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) If you're including the down time for uploading 1.2 ? Seriously, are you slow ? I'm really currious, I think what you meant to say is we lost 8 and gained 16 if anything. you are slow there was a 8 semi-scheduled down time after 1.2 quickly followed by 8 hours unscheduled downtime i repeat it again for the challenged ones 16 out of 24 hours = 1 full day. That was downtime of 8am to 4pm then 4pm to 12am (BST) which is a full day. Now for the English class: If my cup of coffee is knocked over by a person and they get me a new cup of coffee i am reimbursed if they get me a coffee and cream cake I am compensated Edited April 14, 2012 by Balthazod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goretzu Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 BRO You have no idea, a lot of other companies would have given you nothing! PLUS theres the EA factor here! you think the tyrants at EA would have wanted Bioware to give out free time!? Yes. They want subs so a days extra play time is nothing.

Bhaers Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The stupidity and greed of the Human Race never fails to amaze me. On with nicer thoughts... Wow! Thanks BW. You are the first MMO company I have ever seen give such goodwill to your valued clients after what was really just a minor downtime. Amazing customer care.

curzen Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I won't be satisfied until BioWare sends me a billion dollars and gives me a 50 for every AC that is invincible and has unlimited credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieAlteHexe Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Oh I completely disagree with the OP. I actually logged into the forums to express my gratitude for the compensation that they gave us. I played WoW since the beginning and if they've ever done this, I don't remember it. I think it's awesome and I'm grateful for it. Not to detract from BW's actions but between game release and BC release, I ended up with 43 days of credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
