Can you all please check your privacy settings in both Origin and your console accounts to make sure that you are visible to other players? If that does not work, please let me know.
--have you even talked to ANYONE in technical at EA up to this point? I ask because to suggest something like, "check your privacy settings on your console and your origin account" well, that seems like something you could come up with on your own without talking to the tech guys, and if you say this AFTER talking to them then, it surely suggests that you, who speak for EA, must believe the tech department to be completely incompetent of resolving ANY issue since you find it necessary to have us make sure our settings are correctly configured before you push the topic with the technical(or whatever u refer to that '''special'''' department tasked w/ fixing these problems is)department. Or maybe, the incompetence is on your end, as in, you personally Tom; are you fluent in English? If not, do you have these messages adequately translated into a language you do understand? I only ask because a problem this significant to the atmosphere of the gameplay that has gone on(or, been ALLOWED to go on imo) for this long, well, that kinda screams communication breakdown. Like part of that old Guns & Roses song, how's that go? "What we have here is, failure to communicate. Some men, u just can't reach, which is the way he wants it" ...etc/u get the point.
Yes, Tom, I have checked and rechecked everything on my end, as I'm pretty sure everyone else has before coming here as well. We've also:
- Made sure we have an internet connection while experiencing the friends list problem
- Made sure we actually mean NFS:The Run, and weren't mistakenly experiencing the problem with a completely different game; -we're here on purpose b/c EA has stuff messed up on THEIR END.
- Made sure the console is plugged in and turned on, just to be sure we all aren't magically having the same nightmare
- Made sure the TV is plugged in and turned on and displaying said console b/c, u know how dumb us gamers can be and in you're experience, and judging by the redundancies you suggest of us, we must all be TOTALLY MENTAL to u(maybe there's merit there; after all, we are reaching out to EA """"support"""" in good faith hoping they(one of the largest gaming production companies on the planet -so big in fact, not a few years ago they were considering whether or not they would buyout TAKE TWO INTERACTIVE**who own Rockstar**(u kno, that company that cleared a billion dollars profit after 3 days of GTAV going online) ...'in good faith hoping they' would tell us they know what the problem is and are working to fix it as we speak OR(and imo most likely the case despite what u tell us Tom) they(that's u in this story Tom, ur their rep after all) that they're no longer supporting those features we're having problems with b/c that's going to save them a little bit(less then one half of ONE percent their annual budget) in server maintenance and besides, they couldn't care less what the customers have to say b/c hey, if we don't own stock in the company then we really aren't worth considering.
Really though, don't you think the solution would have been found way before this if it were something as simple as checking some settings on our(the customers, the ones that have partaken in making EA all that money over the years -all that way back through the 90s in my case) ...'on our' end?
So please, stop insulting us with your redundancies.
If i'm not being clear please feel free to name for me the language or form of communicating the written word that you best understand, and I'll get to work right away translating what us, who have paid for the neglected, malfunctioning software(NFS:TR), all have to say on how this is being handled.
I don't mean to offend you Tom, well, actually, lemme check on that and get back to you with any updates.
Peace,
-Optix.
