Please make the Vanguard skins permanent unlocks

Hello!

When I played the game back in November I had Origin Access and could therefore use the Vanguard skins for both BD-1 and the Mantis. As a big fan of Titanfall these skins were the only ones I used and I like to imagine that BD-1 is the Star Wars counterpart of BT-7274. I was super excited to jump back into New Journey+ with my little robot buddy when the new update hit!

But little did I know that you need an active subscription to use a skin in this singleplayer only game. This of course makes no sense. Other EA titles with Origin Access rewards actually lets you claim the items and keep them permanently, and those are often multiplayer titles. I'd also like to point out that the official EA Help channels never really makes it clear, nor really imply, that you would need an active subscription. All common sense points to the ordinary "play it with Origin Access and you get this cool skin!".

I heard back in January that my preorder bonuses were made available for everyone so why this is even an issue is beyond me. But yeah, that's my suggestion - please make the Vanguard skins into permanent unlocks for Origin Access members because requiring an active subscription to use them makes no sense for a game like this.

  • I remember seeing in other people's posts that these were permanent unlocks. Back before they unlocked the orange crystal, mine would disappear from me when Origin wouldn't load because the servers were clogged, but reappear later. Is it possible this happened?  Otherwise, anyone else have these skins unlocked permanently, or am I just remembering wrong?

    @Gargamel314 I've done some research, and I've read that one person still had them and another person mentioned that they lost the skins, but got them back by visiting a loading zone. So far, neither solution has worked for me, so I can't verify their accuracy.

    I actually just kept on playing from my old completed save when I first encountered this issue. I tried visiting other planets, meditating, you name it - but it wouldn't appear. I started a New Journey+ too and reached the point where I could first customise the Mantis - *all* the other skins are there but the Vanguard that has just completely vanished.

    @UnwaryCoin Recently I renewed EA Play and let my subscription expire, and I lost access again after regaining it. Does anyone know if it's different for EA Play Pro? If not, then I agree that they should make the vanguard skins a permanent unlock.
