Re: Origin Points in EA Desktop

So sad((

@Iipaaal 

Out of curiosity, what will you miss about Origin Points?

I'm sad because you don't want to do at least something for make it useful

@Iipaaal 

Sorry to disappoint. It just wasn't meant to be.. 😢

On the plus side, we'll introduce other cool features with EA Desktop. I hope you get to try it soon!

Hey @Straatford87 and @Iipaaal 

I've been around since Origin beta started and I really like the point system. You would do in-game challenges to unlock points to show off to your friends that you were a really hard core gamer. It's unfortunate that those points would just sit there.

When I heard about EA Desktop, I was super excited and the first thing I did was to see what I could do with my points but was very much let down when it was removed completely. 

I really like how Ubisoft use their point system in their uPlay client. They allow you to use those points for in-game items like gun skins, XP, downloadable content like wallpapers and game soundtracks. It is very satisfying knowing your hard work gets you something in return.

I still believe that EA Desktop should do something like this. It would be a missed opportunity. I submitted this in the feedback so all I can do is hope.

Cheers,

Thanks for adding your feedback! I'll get it to the team :-)

Hey there @Straatford87,

The thing I miss most about BioWare Points is being able to do stuff with them.  Back in the day they were the only way that I was able to buy DLC for Mass Effect 2, and I still have over 1,000 point left over after buying all the DLC that was available.  🙂

Catching up on this. I love the idea of getting points while playing !!! Then use them to get reductions or in-game content. You can't just abandon the points system like that. ☹️(

This is motivating for players to know that buying a game will have them winning a certain amount of points by completing it. Especially if they can use these points later on to get some more content.
