Can't wait for duos! Also, did you delete the first thread? :p

Yeah, because I had the wrong title (I’m tired. It’s been a loooong week) and you can’t edit Reddit thread titles.

Just wanted to point out that there were a few glitches with some of the recently released cosmetics...which I do think were really well made imo.

There is a visual glitch with the new Speciale torso (Axis) in first person where the model does not properly appear on your character. Also the Ruvido (Axis) set does not come with any camo like all the other Common cosmetics. The Resident (Allies) torso also clips through the model.

Those sets were personally my favorites in this batch so kudos but those tiny issues are a pet peeve.

Thanks for the heads-up! Will add it to my list for the team to look at.

So I encountered a glitch when I bought some Boins - I went to buy the $30 option, clicked checkout - and it returned a message of "store failed." I waited for a sec, backed out of the store to see if maybe the purchase went through - and no boins appeared. So I went back to the store - repeated the process - and got store failed, again. This time, I closed the game, and reloaded it. Sure enough - even though it gave me a store failed message - I had 7000 coins on my account. Obviously, I only wanted 3500 - so I reached out to EA help for a refund for one of the orders.

They have informed me that you cannot get a refund for in-game purchases, even though i hadn't used the coins. So just an FYI/ warning to anyone else - if you get a store failed message, do not try and buy again - close the game, and reload. Otherwise you will get billed for two orders.

Hold on. Don’t spend 3500 and I’ll see if we can sort this out Monday (it’s 10Pm Friday night here, so I won’t be able to look into it until Monday). Let me know your case number.

I’ll also escalate this to the Origin team to ensure any marketplace bugs are investigated.

Case Number: 47961879

Honestly, I'm not too miffed at getting a double order - and plan to use the coins eventually. Just want others to know that if they get a store failed, to not try and order again

Well, if you want to keep transaction and the Boins, that’s fine. But I’ll definitely escalate the purchase-flow error to our marketplace team. Thanks for the heads-up.

I was never going to buy boins when the game doesn't even deserve the base retail cost, but holy shit locking off content for boins that was previously available for CC is so disgustingly shady, and just serves as the final nail in the trust coffin

Firestorm was a colossal waste of resources, your MTX cosmetics are still the same lazy recycles of base assets, content is a drip-feed of utter nothing (hoo boy, 2 face paints are such gripping rewards for an entire fortnight's progression) and you have the nerve to ask for money for the privilege?

This entire game has been a slap in the face to anyone stupid enough to buy it, let alone get duped into paying for the bunch of extra nothing that came with "deluxe" version

I really hope somebody reads these comments, because so many of the mistakes and missteps made have been so painfully obvious to anyone who actually plays video games that I still can't believe an entire studio's worth of people thought "yeah this is a great playing experience" when almost every department has been a downgrade, broken, or simply cut out entirely from what was already present and functional in previous titles

I will not be buying another DICE title when it's pretty clear that Battlefront(s) and BFV are such clear signs of what to expect going forward

You can also earn Epics through progression.

Have you considered allowing epic skins to be ~50k CC, while Elite skins are boins only? I feel that 50 or 75k is a fair price for the loyal fans.

Elites aren’t skins. They’re whole characters with backstories, VO, special animations, EoR poses, and melee weapons. Epics are BFC or various Progression options.

What do you mean by special animations? I cant really think of what you could mean by that.

We have some blogs coming in the next couple of weeks that detail more about Elites.

Myself and all of the other players that are in this situation are still waiting for an answer /u/Braddock512

I’ll check into it tomorrow when I’m at work. (It’s possible the internal name is different so it’s not obvious. But I’ll find out and post back here tomorrow.)

This vague crap right here? This is why the Community doesn't like you Braddock. This is why we are hostile towards you now.

Okay. 13 hours ago, when I made that reply, was Sunday morning. Halfway through my weekend. So I gave the answer and information currently available to me. Now, tomorrow is the start of the work week and I’ll have access to the team that created the marketplace and can get more information. So I’ll have more information to share. Have a good night.

I don't understand why I'm not able to purchase ANY cosmetics that I was once able to before. I could understand one currency or the other, but both or ONLY with real money? What the hell kind of decision was that?

Can you clarify?

Any update on this yet? Thanks for looking into it.

Talked with one of our product experts at DICE. It should be able to be granted. Let me dig into this a bit more and see what the process is and I’ll post back.

Alright, that sounds promising.

Also, I’m super sorry if I missed your previous thread/comment about this. Thanks for giving me a second chance to look into this for y’all.
