Re: name tag

Hey @Icy-1678-

I'd like to try out some troubleshooting to see if we can help fix this here. 

First can you try running through the basic connectivity troubleshooting steps from the EA Help website to see how that goes? If you're still having any issues after that check out the platform-specific steps as well: 

- PC

- Xbox

- PlayStation

Let me know if you're still having trouble with invites or with joining a match afterward. Thanks!

  • ok so i play on play station i deleted the app i reinstalled i changed my dns server to the google one and i will try the hot spot solution in a bit but that’s what i have done so far

  • @EA_Kent ok so i did the hot spot and it worked for one game and then after that i tried to restart my game and then now it says unable to connect to ea im getting really frustrated as i put money into this game and hope that there will be some sort of compensation for having a frustrating time with this

    Thanks for following up!

    Can you try setting a static IP on your PlayStation to see if that helps at all? The Port Forward website has step-by-step instructions on how to set this up. Once you've had the chance to give this a try please let me know if you're still running into the same issues. 

    Thanks again,

    @Icy-1678- 

    Is it possible to bypass the wifi connection and try using a network cable instead? That way we can remove the wifi as a possible culprit. 

    Let me know how that goes if you're able to give it a shot. Thanks!

  • @EA_Kent i don’t know what that is and im not sure if i can do that if you mean like a direct link from router to ps4 as the router is upstairs and i am down stairs 

  • @EA_Kent it is not possible for me to hook up a cable to it and i am not sure what to do this is very frustrating and feel like im running out of patience

    @Icy-1678- 

    Got it, thanks for following up!

    Another thing we can try which might help is changing the DNS on your PlayStation. I've seen some cases in the past where that has helped with similar issues. You can change the DNS on your console using the steps below: 

    1. Open the PS4 Settings and go to Network 
    2. Select Set Up Internet Connection 
    3. Choose Wi-Fi or LAN Cable depending on how your console is connected to the internet 
    4. Select Custom 
    5. Choose Automatic under IP Address Settings 
    6. Choose Do Not Specify under DHCP Host Name 
    7. Select Manual under DNS Settings 
    8. Enter 8.8.8.8 as the Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 as the Secondary DNS. This is the public Google DNS, but if there's a different DNS you would rather use instead that's OK as well.  
    9. Select Next 
    10. Choose Automatic under MTU Settings 
    11. Select Do Not Use under Proxy Server 
    12. Select Test Internet Connection to confirm the changes and make sure you can connect. 

    Let me know how that goes once you've had the chance to give it a try. Thanks!

    Hey @Icy-1678-

    Thanks for following up!

    I'm afraid we don't have any details on when limited time skins might return. The team did say in the past that skins might be eligible to come back after a while, but we don't have any info on if specific skins might be available again. 

    I'd recommend keeping an eye on the official Apex Legends Twitter page for news on things like that. There are usually announcements there when skins get added.

    @Icy-1678- 

    In the past the event Heirlooms have not reset the pack counter. 

    /Kent

  • @EA_Kent hey i was wondering if there will be heirlooms released seasonly or just wanted to know like if loba will be the next one or something like that anyway for you to find out how?

    Hey @Icy-1678-

    I'm afraid we don't really have any details on plans for future Heirlooms. There will usually be an announcement when we have more info to share on a new Heirloom. 

    The official Apex Legends Twitter page is a good place to watch for news and announcements. 

  • @EA_Kent 

    sounds good i will probably just have to wait and see but if i had to have an opinion i think that loba should have the next heirloom based on her pick rate and just overall because she’s also a older character
