Pauly Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Complete Bait and Switch Bioware. People paid real money for hypercrates and packs AFTER you said it was not a bug or an exploit. What you did in many jurisdictions and to many juries would be construed as bait and switch. The surge in purchases of crates and hypercrates after you made the statement "working as intended" would be damning evidence and call for punitive fines just for its implied 'baiting the hook". Check with the EA lawyers on this one, you may be in an actionable situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavantDreadtech Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) To say completely useless is a little OTT. I am not happy with the change at all, but the reason it was altered was worse than the actual change. Any such item is always going to be subject to change so not really dishonest. Disappointing yes, at least from my perspective and also yours it seems. It is a shame that what was meant as a fun game mechanic has become so divisive to players, Edited January 21, 2015 by SavantDreadtech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavantDreadtech Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) FYI, the Walker mounts will--on average--take 75 million credits worth of coins to win one. Really??? Ok glad you had 75 mill creds to find out and let the rest of us know. Until I read this thread did not know one had been added, at least bioware has added something. Liked it better how it was but at least this is a positive even if its going to be that super rare win.

TimeDeatH Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If you paid $40 or more for a pack filled with a ton of other goodies, but mainly just for the slot machine, because you wanted to profit off a slot machine That they even said they were going to nerf, and are crying that you got ripped off. I have no sympathy whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavantDreadtech Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 "That they even said they were going to nerf, and are crying that you got ripped off." Well I believe because I read I,t bioware said it was working as intended, but would look at it again. Does that =Nerf? But yes just to get one was a poor reason to buy the packs if that's all you were after from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuriDogshin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've seen them stream, so they do play the game. Please, failing hard at PvP and in FPs isn't playing the game in any meaningful way in this context. Do you think anyone at BioWare makes their in-game living by crafting or running crew missions?

BuriDogshin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 that's fine with me! that's exactly why I got me a ton of free gear on ravangers!!! You may be punished for exploiting. Will BioWare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuriDogshin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I was out of town all week. Just reading the forums, it seemed obvious to me they would tweak it. I'm very happy they at least added the walker in. That was unexpected Let us know if you ever see anyone riding one, they are rarer than any Nightlife mount by a large ratio. For all practical purposes, they aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heat-Wave Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 They exploited us, plain and simple. ^ This... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
