Re: ME:3 & ME:A Multiplayer Join/Invite Friends Not Working in EA app

My post title has been edited to "Mass Effect 3" specifically even if this problem affects both Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer and Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer as I have written it in the original post. Please do not overlook Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer. There is a lot of important information in the original post. And another issue Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer is facing is that multiplayer equiment Structural Ergonomics and Stronghold Package are not avaiable via the in-game store. If they ever appear to the rotation offer, attempting to buy them kicks you to the Main Menu, saying that connection was lost.

Can we get any moderator to pass some info to EA team working on game server maintentance?

There are at least two EA servers used for matchmaking by at least Mass Effect 3 that are not accessble right now (and for who knows how long):

Bump for visibility. I am still having the same issues. 

I reported the issue to the EA support via chat today, I got assurances that it will be fixed ASAP.

I won't be holding my breath.

They told you that huh? Well you are lucky u managed to get any response at all, its so complicated to let them know that they are issues in their things. All i got was automated messages... well i can tell ill hold on to buy ME4 caus im not playing multi with so many problems as it is right now. Can barely find any game that i dont get logged out after a few seconds on pc. ME andromeda. I never had issues like that since the launch but it began a few months ago, i just stopped playing it.

Hello

i am also having troubles with the Multiplayer on Mass Effect 3 and now Andromeda i hope they get this working again so we can invite friends again everyone loves this game.

and i well not get another new game tell they get this one going again..

I just hope they get this fix this is there must played Multiplayer out there  and everytime i want to play a solo someone joins right in and thats ok..

you know... i'm starting to think they told you someone would fix this ASAP merely because your comment (re: ping) made it obvious you have enough networking experience to check up on the servers.

the even MORE cynical part of me wonders if EA staff/support TOOK them down.

i just hope SOMEONE in management sees this because i'm another one that isn't planning on buying Legendary Edition any time soon (no multiplayer and it STILL has bugs), the lack of decent multiplayer *absolutely* affects my enjoyment of Mass Effect 3 (denying me my full resource score)... and i'm beginning to turn a jaundiced eyes on Dragon Age Dreadwolf and the next Mass Effect. because why should i give even more of my money to a company that has shown it both ⚽ wanted to go over to liveservice, and yet 🏈 can't even support a game long-term?

this doesn't feel like support. this feels like the quiet extinction (murder?) of a game platform a bunch of us loved.

now, my 0.02 is that - if devs and management were SMART - they'd lean into it and bring multiplayer back to the Legendary Edition as a DLC, rather than try to shut down the Original Trilogy through server extinction... if that is, indeed, what's going on here.

Someone has marked a comment of workarounds as a solution despite original post providing the very same painful workaround that the "solution comment" had, proving us players once again that EA officials have not even read the original post. Please do not do this. There are no solutions posted at all in this entire conversation. We still need official help and EA team to look at the problem. I have unmarked the "solution comment" to prevent it from its false nature.

So far this topic has suffered the following moderation acts:
- Spam Removal from public (fixed it behind the scene with EA Advisors)
- Title being renamed to address one game despite the original title by me addressing both
- Marking comments as false solution despite of them not fixing the private lobbies

Please this issue needs to be addressed, not sweeped under the rug. Both games ME3 and MEA advertise multiplayer in their stores and MEA is still selling premium currency Andromeda Points for real money to be used on gambling lootboxes in game. I repeat again, this is an ongoing 5+ years issue, and we have waited long enough, this needs to take priority.

yeah, tested this again, both as lobby marked "Private" and lobby left Public, and both times, friend got to picking a character screen, then got the error "Unable to Connect to friend's game." this has been happening for literally months, and no accepted solution has been offered.
