I'm really really annoyed right now.

    It's my own fault. But at the same time, what the hell xbl?
    I was over at a friends place the last day and we had a few drinks. The night went on and so did the Xbox. It seemed a good idea to import my profile.
    At home. I don't have broadband at the minute. So I accumulated about 2000 gamerscore. Then went to connect back online and xbl downloaded my profile as it was the last time I was at my mates. Bye bye gamerscore. :(
    I wouldn't care too much usually but I only just had gotten some of the tougher achievements in Arkham Asylum challenge rooms and much more importantly all achievements for Mass Effect 2 except 15 points for dlc. So I'll clear it again eh? And I'll have to do so without
    the 25% bonuses you get for having cleared the game although I've done this twice. That makes it rather difficult to get to lvl. 30 in one playthrough

    All in all I'm really annoyed. It could have been much worse though. My ME2 saves still seem to be there even if the achievements aren't in which case I can still import to the third. :o

    Was the console you played on at your pals place offline while you were playing? If it was online it should have sync'd everything up before you finished playing and went home and recovered it again.

    Edit : Wait I see what happened. You won achievements offline at home ie not connected to internet /live then when to pals and recovered the tag so it had no knowledge of you getting cheevo's at home. Then you went home and recovered it again , being more up to date the recovered tag then didn't know you had won achievements at home. Same happened me once.

    In future make sure you have connected to live on your own xbox after earning cheevo's before you recover tag to another console.

    Did the same thing myself before. I had xbox live linked to my credit card (which was cancelled). I couldn't use xbox live behind the proxy in college for 9 months or so. Then when I did reconnect, the only option I had was to "Download Profile"......seeing as it was the only option, i was like "Ah, yeah, whatever so, download away so"

    Lost a years worth of gamer points. I ended up just starting a new Gamertag altogether!

    Thank God I'm not alone guys! I felt like a real idiot after the fact. :p

    Not my gamerscore? Of course not. But some of my friends and I like to see what each other has done in a game. When I really like a game achievements give a sort of "complete" feel once you get them all.
