Re: Prime Gaming Skins Re-release request (Loba Rose Gold)

@FitmaidogYes they are correct that EA/Respawn has the files to the skin but who knows how these deals work. If it was just Respawn it’s gonna go back in the store for sure. I think this is a lost cause and all you can do is wait and hope for the best.

I actually have this skin and don’t use it other than the cool banner frame that came with it. If only I had the ability to give you the skins.

Hey @Cheese9Man @thanks for the reply!  Yes I figure that will be the case that a lot of people will have it and not use and yet I would use a lot but can’t get it.

Thank you for the kind offer 😊. if only that were possible!  Oh I wish I could trade someone for one of the skins they would like too!

yes I agree that waiting and seeing might be the only practical way forward, but I do think that the only real chance of a change is if those who could affect it are aware of it (similar to me not knowing about the skin - no action possible if no knowledge of the problem).

i really wouldn’t mind further appealing to Amazon if I Knew the right people to followup with who could actually affect the situation

in the meantime thanks again for some reassuring words - if nothing else that helps a little 😊👍🏻

Right from the beginning I did raise it with Amazon -/ Prime Gaming - I even chatted to support, and I was told the only people who can do anything about it are EA and I need to take it up with EA support.

Oh man, the classic "pass the buck."  This happens a lot with EA vs. Sony issues and such, in my experience.

Haha yes, seems to be the case!  Thanks @pandareno1999 

Well I can go back to the beginning again and try with them over at Amazon and see if any further progress can be made.

Again, if anybody feels they have a similar situation or feeling and wants to add voice to it, I think that could still be worthwhile - so please do!

One other quick question... I'm still inexperienced at using this board, but I don't seem to be able to find my (long) reply from yesterday, I would think it was going to be #21 in the thread, but now it goes straight from @Cheese9Man 's post at #20 to @pandareno1999 's post at #21.  How do I see the post I made that the #21 onwards were a reply to?  (or was it taken down due to being too long or something to that effect?).

Thanks Pandareno - yeah it is the classic pass the buck.  I tried a few more times with EA support but got a similar 'not much we can do' response.  Just thought I would check back in and let you know on the official "Rose Gold" thread 🙂

I also notice that Prime Gaming isn't even offering anything for Apex now - perhaps that opens up EA to sell past skins now that the deal seems to be over.

I think Apex could really benefit from offering past rare skins on an extremely lucky/rare basis for getting them.  Either ->

1) Use heirloom shards to pick ANY past skin (ie. from collection events, prime gaming, or just the regular store/recolours).  The average person would say "but who would pick an old skin over an actual heirloom or prestige skin?  But also, nobody could deny that anything that's rare would still remain rare with this approach.

2) Have an extremely small (0.01%) chance at getting past skins/banner frames that are no longer offered on legendary+ drops in random packs.  Again, it would keep things super rare, but it would get certain people with the means buying a lot more packs.

If anyone is concerned around their precious skin being available to anyone acquiring through these methods, I would think fear not - the chance is so rare, you still won't see hardly any additional people with them.  However, it could be done by only offering skins/items that are for example >2 years since release as a "Rare chance to attain vintage skins" approach.

I think if announced properly, both of these methods would be fair to anyone, given there is an equally super rare chance, and strangely it would generate a lot of extra revenue for the game, and the large majority of people would enjoy the possibility and keep more people interested in the game for longer I think.

I for one would buy packs almost endlessly until I have those skins if it were possible.
