The Saga of EA Customer support part 4

So the last email said 48 hours for a response, So I waited a week, and honestly I'm starting to get a bit irate.

Jan 4, 2017 (13 days after the first contact)

So a week after my last communication, time for a new ticket.  In retrospect I should have updated one of the previous ones, maybe, but in so far the only response I received were the initial reply from the CSR that also closed the ticket. At 3:00 PM I put in a new ticket, again I don't have the language used but it was either a recap of the issue, or a request for an update on the previous tickets.

At 4:33 PM I received an exact copy of the previous message from EA, so no need to quote it here.

At 4:49 PM I replied with the following:
Thanks for the time it took to copy and paste a canned reply.  
It seems apparent after being dismissed twice that I will need to become a nuisance customer for this issue to be addressed.  
I will continue to re open this issue, submit duplicate issues, and fill out customer satisfaction surveys with the lowest marks possible until the original issue is addressed.
I look forward to our future business relationship of having many tickets dismissed, and clicking many dissatisfied radio buttons.
At this time I took the time to fill out the customer service surveys with the worst marks possible, and use the web interface to make sure that the tickets were still open.  I think I had made up in my mind that I would be opening a new ticket every 48 hours until this was resolved, it didn't quite work out that way.

8Bitdo NES 30 Pro on linux

This post will go over the setup I had to do to get my   8Bitdo  NES30 Pro controller working on my Arch linux desktop with steam.  This results in the system loading the xboxdrv automatically when the controller is connected, and unloading once finished. Firmware Update The first thing to tackle was the firmware update on the controller,  This may not be needed, but I like to keep my devices up to date. After some googling, I was able to find a program called fwupd  that's able to update the controller via a USB connection.  It's available for Arch in the community repo. The basic syntax of the command is: fwupdmgr get-devices fwupdmgr refresh fwupdmgr get-updatessudo fwupdmgr update The controller will need to be put into 'Firmware update mode'.  Be aware that the final command will also update all eligible firmware on your system, so If you don't want that, please dig into the documentation Bluetooth Connection G...

The Saga of EA Customer support part 2

Dec 24, 2016 (2 days after initial contact) I completed my task set out by the CSR from my previous contact, what I had interpreted as being complete the next quest, and in this case I chose the complete 25 games to unlock the final zombie hero.  Over the course of those 25 games I played some multiplayer and increased my Rank and League.  I completed several additional Quests, as well as several single player Missions. None of that had worked, and now the final zombie hero did not unlock either.  Time to contact support and tell them that the issue had not resolved. At 1:52 PM I sent Support the following email: Hi. I've completed up until the next quest where the reward was unlocking the last zombie hero. I still have not received the last starting plant hero, as well I have not revcieved the last starting zombie hero from the last completed quest. My hero's thus far are: Green shadow Solar flare Night cap - revcieved from 6.99 starter bundle S...
