Speculation on “Make Right” for Server Gate?
Yesterday was kind of a big deal with the servers down for a better part of the day. Sunday is one of the days people actually have some free time to play and get some objectives done. The extension of WL & solo battles just isn’t a viable solution IMO. MUT has been plagued by screw ups all season. I understand that tech issues occur, however this one happened at a critical time for many of their hardcore base players. Giving us more time to complete objectives isn’t the answer when we don’t have the time. Hopefully, they will humble themselves, apologize and give out a useful reward. Thoughts?
Quote from stickskillz100 >> Quote from ukelgroo >> Cannot confirm and I don't want to perpetuate rumors but word on the street is it was a hacker taking down all EA servers who was upset that Battlefront II added Padme as a new character before Mace Windu. So technically not all their fault because if they are a good hacker despite EA's best efforts they would still be a handful to deal with. So now they are giving away the Leia outfit that was supposed to be a community challenge as a free gift so I doubt we will see anything out of this.
Quote from RickRude >> That’s the most frustrating thing about their errors, they never just say we apologize for our failure and take responsibility. It’s always how hard they worked to fix their screw up. How it happens on a Sunday or during a vacation while no one is in the building. This is unacceptable for a billion dollar company. They’re literally killing their golden goose with their arrogance. I know I will keep playing (gluten for rage) but many casuals are going to stop, if they already haven’t quit. EA used to be the standard now their reputation and sales are taking huge hits. A little bit of humility goes a long way. Instead of telling people how amazing your product is (we clearly can see its bullshit) apologize and take responsibility. People respect that and will come back.

On a side note I do agree that Windu deserves a hero well before a Padme consideration but what a petty way to deal with it.

^^ this =(
Quote from mchardj >> I doubt they do anything at this point. EA's argument may be you had multiple days for these; your fault if you missed the time. I want to see what the loyalty stuff is today so I may prepare for next year.
Solo battles yeah but wl well it’s weekend league

LOL what? These star wars dudes are worse than MUT fans.

Yeah, I couldn't finish my Solo Battles this week... was #4 last week. I'm one of those players though that need the weekend cause I can't really play much during the week.You win some, you lose some though, so I'm not really all that mad. My guess at the response from EA?
Honestly idk what happen with the servers. I was able to play madden all day yesterday. Didn’t have one disconnect. I see it affected a lot of people tho so hopefully they do extended one more day, just don’t think it will work since a lot of people are at work or school this beautiful Monday. Maybe adjust the number of wins needed for each tier?

Extension is the answer, how are you supposed to make up 10 games? They should at least do a fumblerooskie type reward. I can only speak for myself but that was the only time I felt they did the right thing.
