Unusual Cross-progression

Hey @michinoire,

It sounds like there's some confusion here, though fortunately this is in your favor.

You've stated that accounts made or linked after October 26th will not be eligible for Cross Progression, but this is incorrect.

Here is the original statement you're referring to in this case: Cross Progression in Apex Legends™ (ea.com)

---

Note: to prevent exploitation, any secondary Apex Legends accounts created after Oct 26th for the same EA account, will not be eligible to be merged.

---

This is talking specifically about merging the content from platforms on the same EA account, not the ability to have Cross Progression.

If you had a PSN account linked to your EA account and then attached a PC account to that same EA account, you will get Cross Progression and have access to your PSN content whether on PlayStation, PC, or any other platforms you link to that same EA account in the future.

The fact that you attached the PC account after October 26th makes no difference in the ability to get Cross Progression. This just means if you were to make progress on that PC account before the Cross Progression merge takes place, that won't be combined with the progress from your PSN account.

TL;DR If you're just wanting to be able to access your current PSN progress on PC, you haven't missed anything and will be able to do so once Cross Progression arrives for this account over the coming days/weeks.

Bro get out of here. 

Why you defending them so hard lmao

I contacted an EA Help agent and asked them about it and literally told me im not eligible for cross-progression bcus my account was made and linked after the 26th.

if both you will not believe and continue this discussion please see yourselves out. This discussion is only for those with the same unfortunate result as me.

and that makes it even worse lmao without any heads up for it. Refrain from responding to this post ur such a headache. 

Since both of you are deaf, heres the chat with the agent saying im not getting cross-progression. 

@rallen1518 @EA_Mako @Michinoire 

I think I know where the confusion is happening here, what @Michinoire is asking about, is if she created a new PC account on Steam and connected it to an already existing EA account with a primary account with  LVL 100 on PlayStation  ( as an example) will she get the same LVL 100 progress on her recently created and linked PC account ( after the October 26th )

and I see the answer from @EA_Mako was somehow clear

"This just means if you were to make progress on that PC account before the Cross Progression merge takes place, that won't be combined with the progress from your PSN account."

"that won't be combined with the progress from your PSN account." = I believe what Mako means by this is that if any progress is made with the PC account that you recently created and linked after the 26th  (let's say you were able to get to LVL 20 on Steam PC account and you got 2 skins that you don't own on your primary level 100 PS account) these two skins and lvl 20 progress from PC will not be merged and you will lose it ( this is called account merging ) 

But, you will still be able to keep and continue the progress you made on PS which is LVL100 and you keep all your items and can use them on your Steam account / PC

so basically, your original account (which in this case is your PlayStation with lvl 100 ) will be the main account/(items inventory) on every platform account you link it to the EA account in the future ( this is called cross progression )

I hope @EA_Mako corrects me if I'm wrong because I had the same question when I first read this thread 

@maximas1986 

I also think that's the case.

What's the point of the crossprogression if you don't give people time to prepare (The October 26th cutoff) when you know this feature will bring a lot of players back to the game, and just say "lolz not our problem Rip bozo"

I think wording of the crossprogression news leaves a lot to be desired, for a time I ALSO thought that I was screwed because I had 2 EA accounts and if I try to do anything with them it won't work (Thanks to AHQ I just did things that will allow me to use all my PSN progress on PC, as I don't really care about my current PC progress)

BUT

If what @michinoire provided and what the EA agent said is true, and YOU won't be able to enjoy crossprogression after you linked accounts after October 26th, then i'll be in a lost of words because like I said already, what would be the point of it if like 30-40% of the playerbase (expecially some console bros who had their EA account automatically made and they didn't really give it much thought) can't even enjoy it.

Also now that I think about it:

Note: to prevent exploitation,

I wonder, what kind of exploitation? The only "exploit" I can think of right now is just farming easy apex packs to get an easy Heirloom, but other than this? I have no idea what other exploits can be used with cross progression.

I think either some official news to clear that dillema would be something nice.
