Mass effect 3 add on shop repair. (also bring back paypal support for bioware points etc).

HI all,  iam not a tech but here is what i would do if i worked for Ea. Origin.    go back to the Mass effect 2 system for downloadable content that you could purchase directly from the Social Bioware Mass effect 2  website for dlc. also bring back paypall for payment because not everyone lives in UK or U.S.A.,   because you cant buy bioware cards from gameshops in Australia or New Zealand and probobaly Asia too.  probably similar issue for some other parts of Europe too. the mas effect 3 dlc should be purchasable from the Social bioware Mass effect 3 website.   also allow xbox and ps3  and pc players to use bioware points earnt from playing multi or single to pay using points for  the dlc or be able  to pay if necessary using paypall or the bioware points. paypall is crucial as not everyone wants to give Credit card info etc. also i had a few dramas early on because i use prepaid visa  a lot of people are moving to prepaid visa for online purchases etc . i have had no billing issues at other sites. and i dont use Amazon.  id rather deal direct for purchasing as they are blocking axcess to some of their Australian customers  which isn't how you run an Online shop. when i can go direct for what i want to order and ok costs bit more but  arrives efficently . bye the way  i have preordered Mass effect trilogy for ps3 and pc  should be fun .  i do like Bioware  because the other gamers try to help you  which doesnt happen with some of the other games etc just noob farming and farming.  Regards good game everyone  "AsariRenegade01" out

  • EA is consolidating their services and phasing out Bioware social. This is actually a good thing! Plus, it is a pain to run 10-20 installers if you have a lot of DLC. Origin is just easier.

    Also it has always been possible to buy Bioware points with PayPal? IDK what problem you are having maybe it is on your end. as far as earning Bioware points, making content costs money. hell even keeping the servers going isn't free. all of these things means that Bioware points cannot be given away for free. I'm just glad that the multiplayer DLC is free and the packs can be bought with (free) credits.

  • Hi sim2er, you miss my point . i know its a pain to run multi installers. origin isn't easier . for example when comparing dlc problems between mass effect 2 the digital download version which i also play and own getting the dlc was easy and painless it wasn't being blocked by a Middle man faulty origin add on shop which doesnt work nor did it run around authorizing content every second which Mass effect 3 the collectors editon does. i am quite happy to pay for the dlc no problem because i understand it costst  money. server upkeep sure that costs money i get that. what  i dont like is being told the problem is at my end  all the time when i have paid for the content ok using my credit card for bioware points but i cant  use the bioware points for the dlc sure i can buy and use them for mutli but iwant to be able to use the bioware points for  dlc as well or why am i wasting money. the problem for myself and the other people started around the release of firefight and leviathon everything else prior worked flawlessly  and post has failed except the final hours which worked for a change.  i hope Streamlining origin helps.  i quite lik e bioware social so i will be sad that  it's gone. iam not angry with you iam just disapointted, i  get excited about new content friends are playing  vs the collectors etc it sounds fun but deppressed because i can never axcess it easily anymore. all i and other gamers are asking for is a working  add on shop so more can play and axcess the new stuff . some one will always have a problem sure i get that .

    iam realy tired right now  and depressed. ☹️,   copmuters had no internet when i first start with them. (unless you were police or military or university). and there are no crash courses for maintaining a gaming  pc or laptop . everybody just assumes that everyone understand which doesn't help and if you have a intellectual disable like  i do not easy. i used to understand computers etc   they were fun  now they way too  complex sure theyre better than the ms dos horrible ibm compatabiles and  yuck sperrys. that we had to put up with .  do you remember any of that stuff? nice chatting your ok but i have to go nice post sim2er thanks for trying to understand.  🙂  regards "AsariRenegade01" , if ever you need a squady on Mass effect 3 pc np ill help you. just hola bye.
