BF2S Forums Not getting the Aerial Service Ribbon

thanks for the reply

I'm afraid they wont update it to my stats tho Yesterday I made the expert pistol badge and it's already in my stats. I think they update in the order you recieve them.. but well I just gotta try again! *cheers*

Indeed I made the stupid effort to write EA a mail and ask if they can do anything about that... Stupid me, should have known

Enjoy the response:

Thank you for contacting EA Game Support.

Unfortunately, it does not appear that you have met all the requirements for the ribbon, badge or rank you are referencing. Many fan websites which display requirements for ribbons, ranks and badges may not be accurate as this information has not official been released. We recommend using these fan sites as reference or guides only. Please understand that the decision not to release this information was made for the integrity of the game and the excitement that reward brings. We hope that you’ll continue to try to reach your goal and keep fighting! If you have any additional questions please let me know.

This response leads to a bunch of questions for me (all involving different scenarios):

Q1: Is my english so freakin bad, that she didnt understand what I want?

Q2: Did she read the question or just respond to some trigger-words?

Q3: Did she actually know what she's talking about? (not met requirements of the ASR)

Q4: Did she bother to look at the Screenshot that shows the ribbon on my screen?


Either way it's a funny and interesting response - I'm looking forward for the next

2 Days ago I finally suceeded to get the Aerial Service Ribbon...or so I thought.  Is there any use in sending those to EA or should I just try again to find a server (which prolly will take another 1.5 years) where I can make it? =

Thanks in advance for any help

There have been a lot of these issues since 1.3 because the servers crash before uploading award information to EA ... I got my Helo Ribbon, but it never registered with EA because the server crashed before the round ended.

Try again!  Hope you can get it soon!

Looks like they coughed out a stupid form letter. Sorry for your luck....get lost.

I know it has happened to me a couple of times. Best advice is to find a good reliable server. I get most of my awards on two servers that i frequent a lot and have not had any problems with.

Yeh, Im another of the many people that got ripped off...

Funny thing is I started a thread almost identical to this about my Expert Ordinance, but it was locked after one reply by an admin telling me to search...

Same problem with me for the Basic Pistol Combat Badge.
Ive got my Basic Medic Combat and Engineer Badge and it was updated but then
thats about it.
Hmm it will be easy to kill about 5 people with a pistol but I dont know if it would give me a badge o.O .

Took me a fair while to get my Aerial Service Ribbon... But the point at which I got it was the turning point for me. I would've had it dozens of times since then. So... cheer up, you'll get there sooner than you think, probably.

2 Days ago I finally suceeded to get the Aerial Service Ribbon. I suck at planes but I was lucky enough to find an operation roadrage server, where noone was teamkilling for the frogfoot, or jumping in front of it. So I flew and bombed (pretty bad actually) but finally I suceeded in getting the ribbon.

...or so I thought. I made a screenshot when I got it but the ribbon does not show up. (Yes I've waited long enough and yesterdays games are all in my stats by now - including the awards I got yesterday).

I'm just wondering - I have a screenshot of me getting the award and I have the server name and IP. Is there any use in sending those to EA or should I just try again to find a server (which prolly will take another 1.5 years) where I can make it? =

Thanks in advance for any help

go on a wake island....i got 3 areal ribbons on that level....go on a populated like 64 person wake and whore the jet on carrier

I had to wait a week once to have an award post in my awards section..Hang in there it will show up.
