Yup. We’ll be able to unlock them (some at least) in July through community quests.
Correct
Unlike the comments by the other guy (who seems to have deleted them), I’m wondering how you are able to do other sales them. Because for example I bought BF2 on sale. Would that exploit have been available for that too?
The sale for FO that we’re referencing is exclusive to owners of Battlefront II (though it seems like many may not realise that). The system provides you with a discount link within the Battlefront-Origin client. On Xbox and PS, this link is inaccessible, but it can unfortunately be found and exploited on PC.
This sort of sale (a loyalty sale, if you will) is different than a system-wide sale that affects all users or a demographic of users (such as in a certain region), the 10% of for EA/Origin Access subscribers, or the free game for OA Premier subscribers.
Maybe you shouldn’t host a sale on a platform if you don’t have the infrastructure it actually host it on other platforms? Idk just a thought
We’d rather give a discount to as many of our players who already support us as possible. It sucks that it can’t be on every platform this time around, but it is what it is. I believe the discount was already live by the time we discovered the flaw.

So, I give you an honest answer and your response is that I’m either lying or an insult? I know it’s cool to be edgy on the internet, but save that for somewhere else.
Some of my recent pics have been similar with the BF2 logo but no EA, DICE, etc... logos. Are those still good to go or prefer without the BF2 logo?
The game’s logo is totally fine.

That’s literally the reason. Fallen Order isn’t the only title affected. We discovered the discount linking could be used by anyone if it was exposed by someone who knew how to find the link (since Origin also has a website). We’re working to change how the system works.
You know what’s unfair? Offering a 10% discount for Fallen Order on consoles and not pc.
And by this logic why work on fixing Aim Drift? Only part of the community is affected so it doesn’t matter I guess.
Edit: downvotes? How would you like it if pc and Xbox got a 10% sale for Fallen Order but ps4 didn’t? How would you feel if they decided not to work on aim drift since it only affects Xbox?
We want to, but we discovered an exploit on PC for it. It won’t be resolved by the time of release, though.
would it help if I got out and pushed?

No, I'm saying that using official logos on user-generated content is very misleading and, if anything, makes it more likely the creator won't get credited for their art. It would be like making your own video game and then putting the DICE logo at the startup. DICE didn't make that so you shouldn't attribute credit to them for your work. I get it looks cool and official when you do that, but it's misleading. You're reading into what I'm saying very wrongly.
In short, putting official watermarks for three companies on UGC is misleading.
THIS one goes there, THAT one goes there! Got it?!
I'll relay that to the engineers/software developers who've been working on this. Hopefully, that's exactly what they needed to know to fix it.

I'm asking them not to watermark this to look like it's something official produced by EA/DICE/Lucasfilm. I never insulted the art.
Working on it.
We’re investigating this
Hey, us, too!
PS4 online services seem to be recovering.
Great shot, (kid. Don't get c*cky), but please avoid using our official watermarks. I don't want people to think these are official screenshots and I don't want our legal team to get nervous over players making fake official images. You deserve credit for your work, not us, after all.
Is it possible to add things only to PC or vice-versa? Or have it to be toggleable?
From a technical standpoint, yes, but I'm not sure we'd want to add something just to PC. That's unfair to console players and it also means less than a third of our player-base (not even counting those who have lower settings on PC) would be able to enjoy it, so it wouldn't be the best use of dev time. We'd rather make things everyone can enjoy when possible.
u/F8RGE and u/EA_Charlemagne I know there's a lot in the works for BFII at the moment, but I think this would be a quality effects update that will add so much to the feel and immersion of the game. Could this be something worth discussing with the team?
I can certainly bring it up. As I'm sure most know, there are these effects in BII, just at a reduced rate or tied to specific abilities. Part of it is that adding additional VFX makes the game more intensive on hardware, but I'm not the right person to say whether or not it's feasible while maintaining good performance.
