Bloodredsword Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I obviously have SOME words. So here's what happened: My Xbox got the RROD, I sent it in, it came back within 3 weeks, I was happy. About 10 minutes ago, I realized I hadn't played Oblivion since I had gotten it back, and wanted to go check out my stuff and mabye kill some bad guys. I get on, and I immediately want to teleport to my Wizard's tower, which is where I keep all of the hundreds upon hundreds of enchanted swords, armor pieces, and ingredients. I literally had every chest full of almost thousands of pieces in the dungeon. So I get on, and I realize it isn't there. Then I remember that you have to re download content after you get your xbox back. I re download it....assuming that even though the down loadable got "un validated" or whatever the hell they say, my files would still be intact and my crap would be in my chests when I re-dl'ed it.(I also downloaded all the other addons, including thieve's den, vile lair, horse armor, ect) They finished dl'ing rather quickly, so I hop on, teleport to the mage tower. Open one of the chests. AND THERE'S NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY EFFING NOTHING. All of my hard work, GONE. I proceed to go check all the other addon locations where I kept stuff aswell, everything is gone. Just because it had to be re validated. I am so pissed off right now I can't even speak. WHY does this happen?! WHY wouldn't microsoft make it possible to get everything normal through the save files despite the fact that the stuff is gone?! It's complete b.s. So yeah, that's my very angry rant.... :evil: :evil: :evil: Has this happened to anyone else? Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword. Tip it MGC Xbox live leader board!

SaidinWoT Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You did keep your hard drive when you sent it in, right? And migrated the DLC license to your new Xbox?

Bloodredsword Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 You did keep your hard drive when you sent it in, right? And migrated the DLC license to your new Xbox? Of course, its not the addons that are broken, its my saved data that's gone. The whole thing just kinda sucks :( Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword. Tip it MGC Xbox live leader board!

____ Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is why I never keep stuff in places only accessable when an ad-on is installed, even on PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPandy Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That's why I have a PS3 ;) Seriously, that sucks. I know how long it takes to get anything decent in that game. That must be horrible. So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

My main file is still there, with all my stats and crap. But it's my thousands strong item collection that really made my file >_< Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword.

Really? Then how come, every time I turn the thing on, it asks what storage device I would like to select? Plus, I think he meant the actual places you need the addon to go to.

Diesel Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That sucks man. The whole RROD thing is the only reason why I'm glad I got a Wii instead of a 360. Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarg1010 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You bought an Xbox, you should expect to get [bleep] in the [wagon]. Doesn't the RROD only hit Xbox's sold before like June 2007 or something? All of the new ones have been fixed haven't they? Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne.

Faux Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 lol I'm so lucky I haven't had RROD. I stream movies all the time to my 360 when I'm in bed so it runs even when I fall asleep. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushrock Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That really sucks, I'm sorry. I know how good some of those rare Oblivion items are. You can make more, though, I think. Oh well, that still is a pain in the [wagon]. Am I still at risk for another RROD? I've already had one trouble with my system, and I sent it in and got it fixed. Am I safe?

ElkNight Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I always place it on its side. Less likely to fall over. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzle229 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I don't think it really matters, but M$ recommends keeping it on it's side. OT: I once saw a demo display in Gamestop and the demo Xbox had the RROD :lol: Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly; at least on the PC you can use the console to get your items back (to a certain degree) but the time involved is still a complete pain in the arse. It's so much easier just to avoid it by not taking that risk to begin with. I personally use use my waterfront house since I make frequent trips to the enchanting and spell making alters.

rushrock Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Same - that little Waterfront shack is where I keep all of my stuff. I literally have nothing stored anywhere else, mostly because I don't see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could have overwritten all of the game data that described your items. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

monkeyboo2 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Oh crap. :( Are you supposed to place your 360 on its side or standing up when you play it? I disagree with d00d. Place it upright because as the xbox becomes hot the motherboard becomes more flexible and when its on its side the chips tend to sag down abit. Over time this can obviously cause permenant deformation of the chips (often causes RRoD). Ok it has more risk of being knocked over but so long as your careful and place it in a safe place it won't fall. Yeah...Some people just go out of their way to ruin other peoples fun.Sounds like Jagex to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceBeam Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ouch man.... This is why they need the construction kit available for 360, so you could hook up your houses with more chests for more space. But I agree with the earlier guy, when the chests and all that were downloaded, it probably overwrote them. Sidenote: (@ the people who base the xbox right on the RRoD.) Screw off, the 360 barely gets that anymore. I dont base the PS3 entirely on its heating or limited games. (Also, my 360 is pretty old, and not one problem.) (And I own a PS3, so dont go accusing me of bein a fanboy, cause I dont see the 360 as a bag of chips, either.) Oh yeah, and I've thought of taking babies and throwing them.

Panzerlord Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 try going to a small village, maybe wenyon priory, kill or the kvatch encampment even, kill someone, take over their home, and store your junk there! BTW, I didn't even know you can store stuff. How do you? Please give me detailed controls to do so for XBOX 360. :mrgreen: "Don't push me; what's the hurry?" - Imogen Heap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
