Hello my fellow bug sufferers, I have taken EA_Atasshi's advice to go to the discussion about the Duplicates Credits into Parts debate on the page below. I haven't received a reply and I am now even sure who will be checking the posts, but I suggest everyone who was affected by the duplicate bug, go and make it known this isn't resolved. If you want to quote me or the post, by all means, do as I want them to know we are united in thinking this wasn't resolved and that they still owe us for more than what they gave us. Essentially what I am saying is that the debate on transferring the credits we already received isn't the issue, the issue is basically still a three-part outstanding issue of what we didn't receive because of them changing the progression system on us.

My post is halfway down on page3.

A separate sidenote and something that isn't as important as the above issue is the fact that emotes is still not working for a few Heroes & Villains. This is a basic bug, but this far into the game, it should be fixed. I started a post organizing all the other twenty plus posts. If you have time after the "coffee talk post" please click the link below and + XP everyone as well as saying you are having the same issues. Thanks all. Pao.

@Paodok DONE .... I just posted in the forums as well. FYI Paodock is MCB in the forums, thats the post you want. I just quoted and added my 2 cents as your solution is acceptable.

@EA_Ataashi I just want to , again, add my comments of frustration. You will see that I also have posted several times both here and in the forums regarding this issue. I am glad to see that there is a new level of communication as far as the game goes as a whole. F8RGE in the forums is doing a great job of that. However, the fact remains that this was an ongoing issue for months and there was no resolution. This issue is STILL not resolved to our satisfaction because the core issue of our complaint was not addressed. An issue that greatly affected our progression levels with those of our peers , and , this was thru no fault of our own. I will also add that I own 2 versions of the deluxe edition , this will greatly effect my decision to purchase a future title, aka - spend more of my money with you guys..... I remodel homes for a living and if I had screwed up like this and NOT fixed the issue going on 5 months now, I'd be homeless on the street corner. Thats just the reality of it. The customer service so far, has really sucked. The credit dump upon change of progression was a nice gesture , but it still did not address the issue........ thats all I'm gonna say for now because I'm starting to feel hostile again and thats not going to solve anything. 

@EA_Ataashi, I think I finally figured out a good comparison.

Remember the Luke Hoth challenge?  It had a challenge something like 5 Galactic Assault and gave 1000 credits for itself, plus that gave the progress on the Hoth costume challenge.

Imagine if many players were not getting progress from Assault matches while it was happening.

Now imagine if, after the event was over, you went back and figured out who was owed 1000 credits.

You can see our frustration if that didn't include figuring out who should have tripped the costume crate were it not for the bugged incomplete challenge.

That's our problem.  We may have our backlog credit "rebate" from crate purchases, but we're still missing the thing we were really after while all that was broken - namely the extra parts from spending those missing credits, and the levels they'd have been turned into.

Guys, give it up. EA isn't giving a sh*t.

They dumped 80 crafting parts through a special "sorry" crate onto everybody a few days ago, after the servers were down for some hours.

So apparently they have the means to easily distribute exactly what we duplicate bug sufferers are looking for: a compensation for missed star card progression.

If they were really interested in addressing and solving the issue, they would just dump a certain amount of crafting parts to all the bug affected players and this whole thing were over.

It wouldn't cost them much except maybe some hours of a community manager to work on the credit compensation list (it appears that at least with the last big patch in March everybody affected received missed credits as compensation) and distribute the corresponding crafting parts amount to those players.

But no, instead they prefer to sound like a broken record for over 6 months telling us to be patient and that they are working on a solution. I don't believe them anything anymore and I when I started playing again two days ago there were plenty of low rank players, so apparently their strategy worked. Except they pissed of a lot of fans, who won't forget that easily, but since EA is an stock exchange traded company only the results of the next quarter are important and nobody cares for the long run anymore.

The trouble is that parts are not a solution.

Consider my case with Lando.  He's got some rank 2 cards, I need rank 3's.  If I'd had my credits to buy crates for parts back when, I'd have those cards at level 3 already.

Right now, though, I need to get more levels with him to be able to buy rank 3 cards.  Parts won't help me do that.

As I get him high enough level, I'll earn skill points along the way that I won't bother spending (because not every card is useful) so I won't have use for the parts later, either.

So if they don't have a way to drop levels or XP in crates, then they don't really have a way to give us a compensation crate that addresses our problem.

Hello everyone!

We're currently working on a solution for those who were affected by the earlier No-Credits-for-Duplicates issue. All going to plan, we're hoping to have something in our next update (slated for May.) We will share more details on this closer to that update.

/Atic 

Glad to hear this is still on the radar for the dev team.  I'm eagerly awaiting the decided remedy.  Thank you!

@EA_Atic  Wonderful news and thank you for updating us. I am hoping this means the discussion on the "Coffee Talk Forum" is no longer needed. This is a relief as I have started moving away from Star Wars Battlefront 2 and started playing old games that I never finished such as GTA V and Red Dead Redemption. That and a buddy of mine has got me into PUBG, I never thought I would play that stupid game but together he and I have finished 1st in Duo's 4 of the 6 times I have even played the game.

My heart is obviously still deep in Star Wars, but I feel as though all these issues have made me less excited about playing this game. I will say missing this weekends double XP didn't help me, I should have been playing SWB2 but I only found out Sunday about the Double XP.  Oh well, I bet EA does it again for the Han Solo weekend, or at least I hope so.

May the Force Be with you!

I posted in that Coffee Forum that EA Atic has stated it is hopefully going to be addressed in the May patch. I have confidence in both @EA_Atic and @EA_Ataashi who have been the most consistent voices in these threads. Thank you both and I hope the solution is somewhat in line with my example listed here.

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Duplicates-Still-DONT-give-back-CREDITS/m-p/6769393#M13711

@EA_Atic  Hello sir, since we are fastly approaching the May 16th update. Can you let us know the details or what we should expect in that update? Thank you so much.

- Paodok

Hey @tedstud @Paodok I Don't have an update currently. 

As soon as I get one I will post it here. 🙂 

/Atic 

@MrMisanthropy666 sorry but your post doesnt really fit in here. Ofc you can have your opinion, but right now this thread is just about getting compensation for a bug that has already been fixed weeks ago causing harm to the affected players in a system that doesnt even exist anymore. Furthermore the total number of players effected is probably pretty small.

And no, Im not defending EA's idiotic business ideas, but "EA abondoning the game" has nothing to do with our situation. Under no circumstances would our current problem be high priority for any bug fixing team to be solved. Also, EA is not exactly in charge of DICE, they're just big shareholders. DICE is still independent. EA not funding/supporting BF2 anymore, doesnt mean DICE completely shuts down the support (which they obviously didnt do). 

Look at it like this: if you'd work in a car workshop, you wouldnt make the guy whose car you've already repaired a month ago priority because you accidently damaged his seat belt.

Ofc he deserves compensation, but that doesnt make him the most important customer in the world nor does it mean you dont care for his concern.

Right now, we are this seat belt. 

@EA_Atic  Thanks Atic, I humbly accept your reply as I sulk away from my keyboard.

Well, nothing specifically listed that indicates what the "final thoughts" are regarding our issue.  Guess we just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.  May The Force be with us!
