I sent an email to EA customer support about a badge that I got the other day but didnt show in my stats

Here is is...

Hi there,

The other day (Sunday the 7th of october at roughly 3.45pm NZ Standard time)

I was playing on an Xtra Ranked server (ip address 210.55.92.72) and I earned the EXPERT EXPLOSIVES ORDINANCE BADGE.

This award appeared on the screen...as you can see in SCREENSHOT #1.

I managed to do this by having multiple claymore kills (see SCREENSHOTS #2 and #3).

My Player name is: chrispchikin
My PID is: 72019869

As you can see in SCREENSHOT #4, i had 46 kills (over 30 claymore kills) and several negative points from accidental claymore kills.

This is very frustrating having worked so hard and actually earning the award (as seen in the screenshots). I assume the fact that it is not showing up in my stats was an error due to the server failing to upload stats/awards.

Is there any way EA can give me this award since it didnt upload to your server? Any help you could give me would be much appreciated!

Kind and Regards,

Chris Denham a.k.a chrispchikin




And Here is the reply they sent me:

Greetings,

Thank you for contacting EA In-game support, unfortunately, support staff can not alter or modify stats, ranks, kits and badges for Battlefield 2.  The collection of this data is very complex, and as you can imagine with the popularity of Battlefield 2 an immense undertaking. There is simply no possible way we can adjust every players score, though we would love to. We do however, review every claim and report this to the DICE Development team so that we can identify any potential issues.

Our records show that your last ranked match was on (10/12/2006 8:33:00 AM). In order for us to track possible stat delays or loss we could use your help. Please locate and login to any EA Officially Ranked Server (EA Servers begin with 159.153, record the name and IP for us) and play for a few rounds. Monitor your BFHQ stats, if they do not update after 6 hours reply back to us with all the information below.

Server Name:
Current Rank:
Current Global Score:
Account Name: (no passwords)
Registered Email:

Please be aware that at times the servers which collect stats from the Officially Ranked Servers may get back logged or suffer an unexpected short outage. This means your progress may take several hours (possibly even a day or more) to fully update and be displayed in your BFHQ page. Stats for some rounds, could even be lost if they were to be collected while these servers were offline temporarily. Though EA/DICE has tried to reduce the possibility of these issues and create systems and redundancy for data loss, the dynamic environment of both the Internet and Massively Multiplayer games of this type can create unforeseen or even unfixable issues.  As well, while playing on any unranked servers your progress will not advance, though we do not want to discourage players from visiting unranked servers as these can be a source of great enjoyment as well.

Please keep abreast of new patches and announcements at the Official Battlefield 2 Website located here. http://www.eagames.com/official/battlef … /home.jsp.

If you’re experiencing technical issues you can find assistance here as well: http://support.ea.com/

Please accept our apology for any troubles or errors you may experience from time to time and your help.

Thank you for writing us,

I thought they were unusually helpfull compared to other conversations we've seen posted here but maybe that's just me...

But at least now you know that you've got it in you to obtain the IAR explosive kills so suck it up and go at it again!

Sucks, but is no surprise, I've lost track off the awards I've had to re earn.
1.3 almost made me stop playing.
I did the expert explosives while it was still 37 kills and claymores blew up everpone!!!

Keep playing my friend and re earn it, you'll be even prouder of the stats.
No one said it was going to be easy.

I thought their response was reasonable.

What's to say people don't doctor screenshots? It would be very, very easy. It's also like saying 'You also missed my twelve 300-point rounds'.

it depends on how the awards are stored.if they can reset someone, they can enter watever code is needed on the stats server to add awards that have failed to be uploaded. my guess is they just don't want to.

You big whinny noob puss bag, no talent, clay spamming, 1.4 candy ass, nadless pre-pube

I remember back in the day when we had to hike five miles in the snow just to get to a spawn to find a victim to get an explosives kill - PRE 1.4 BITCH

At least I can say I earned mine by trying for over a month on Sharqi.  Back in the day of real men we had to get 37 {that's thirty fucking seven!} explosive kills to EARN our Expert Explosive Ordinance Badge.  I ended up with 41 kills with C-4 {manly stuff} and NO CLAYS.

So don't come whining and bitching in this forum about not getting a badge after spamming clays - you ain't gonna get any sympathy from us - you nadless pre-pube

Kaboom.

1. so... 30 kills with claymores IAR makes one a spammer... OK, who made that rule up?

2. Whatever the OP did, it does not warrant the bashing he received from a kid who apparently has no life outside BF2 seeing the time he spent playing. You may have the opinion the OP used too many claymores, but if you can't say it in a normal way, then keep it to yourself. At least he's honest about it, and got the kills without jihad jeeping or another lame trick.

3. If you can't write a decent answer to a post without swearing, then you either need an education (assuming you're under aged) or Prozac.
