Yeah... That's a weird convo lol.

It's definitely a trial - I think the person maybe looked in their files, saw we get the full game opened up 5 days early, and assumed that was it. (Speculation)

There's no way they'd let you play the whole thing for $5 a month. I'm assuming on 11/18 that game will be unavailable until it's purchased (or you play using your disc) until it's out in the vault.

 

lol I just kept asking- wait, are you suuurrrre? Because it doesn't make any sense to me either.

 

I almost wish it was just the character creator. I would easy spend five days playing that and then play with everyone else the rest of the game- but- I don't want to lose the character I just spent five hours creating either if it doesn't carry over when I bring my hard copy over.

 

Maybe I will try to hold out and just play it on the 18th.

MS support blundered there it is the full game but after the access ends weather that be 6 hours or whatever the game will lock you out until you purchase it either through the X1 marketplace or with a disk you do not need to buy the game twice and the game's files will be downloadable on 11/13/14 or 5 days before ship date.  So if you are adamant you want the physical copy but don't want to wait for it to download on ship date you can get access and download the early access copy and continue the game with your disk.  If you have any further question feel free to ask I'll reply to the best of my ability having first hand experience with the service.

When will we know the length? Let's say I wait until it opens up and purchase EA Access that day, if the amount of time and situation are worth it for me, will I be able to access it? I don't have to buy it ahead of time, right?

Already have EAAccess so looking forward to details on what there is going to be for DA:I but seeing anything on the 13th is going to be great even if just Character Creator and some limited game play... Actually getting on both XBox One and PS4... Originally got the Inquistor Edition on XB1 but then got on PS4 so I can play at midnight and because most people I want to play Multiplayer with are on PS4...

I suspect it will be similar to the 6 hours of gameplay that some got recently at private events. Locked area, set party, but give a good idea of gameplay without too many spoilers of main storyline...

I posted this in another EA Access thread yesterday lol, but it is relevant here too. According to Hilary Shapiro (Global product manager for EA/BioWare), the EA Access trial is time/level limited, although she does not mention how long.

Whoa. In less than 2 weeks EA Access members will be starting their stories in #DAI!

@user @user - EA Access is time/level limited, so a massive amount of awesome still to be unveiled on Nov 18.

 

Just wish someone would spell it out explicitly how long the trial will be!

It'd have to be the first 6 hours if it's timed since your progress carries forward if you buy the game. They couldn't do something random.

When will we know the length? Let's say I wait until it opens up and purchase EA Access that day, if the amount of time and situation are worth it for me, will I be able to access it? I don't have to buy it ahead of time, right?

You can download games as soon as you subscribe. I don't think the sports games new how long they had until downloading or after downloading, so I'd hang out here to find out if it's a deciding factor. I'm sure someone will post ASAP.

I've got my fingers crossed for a level limitation like the ME3 demo.

If you find it worth it you can download the early access at any point I still have "Trials" available even after games have released.   

 

edit they should inform us of length about a week before the early access begins I think that's what it was for FIFA and Madden.  So we will know before Access begins.

I just bought the xbox1 today, bought and subscribed to ea access! Good to go. My gt is SilliestOhio05 if anyone would like to play mp.
Also I thought I saw a tweet in the twitter feed saying we might get access on the 13th.

[CROAT_56]

I'll send you a friend request later my GT is CRO VUK 56

Are you in Ohio? *waves at possible fellow Ohioan *

[CROAT_56]

waves back seems we have a few in the thread haha.  feel free to send me a friend request if you guys want to play some DAMP or whatever else.

[aaarcher86]

I'm Kissit8186 - already have Bekka from ME3 but I'll add you others

[ev76]

Lol, I feel like I should be, but I am not, that is just the name the xbox gods gave me and I have rolled with it since! (Waves back) but I've met very friendly people from that state

I will add all of you later tonight! Playing with bioware forumites has always been a pleasurable experience (me3)

Hmm, I think we used to be friends on 360? Or maybe we were in the same ME3 MP group on the old BSN. Sorry if I'm mistaking you for someone else, I'm old and have a bad memory!

[aaarcher86]

There's also a MP group on here to connect with other BSN players

[CROAT_56]

I've gone ahead and sent y'all friend request hope to whoop some demonic booty in DAMP.  Most of my old MEMP friends are still on 360 but hopefully they join in on the fun too sooner or later.  @Omega_Spectre I'm looking at you haha.

[ev76]

Bekkael We were in the same group I think. I think we were friends as well, but am unsure what might of happened, although we might not have played as much due to my hours of playtime. I'm on the west coast.

As  a Proud Member of the PC master race  I will roll so hard if you  xbone users only get  6 hours with the game and i think most of you will use it up in CC

Fine by me. If it ends up being 6 hours I'll happily dabble in the CC most of the time and feel it was well worth skipping 1 Starbucks run for!

Cool. Glad to know I'm not completely senile.

 

@Osena109 Don't you think using the time up in the CC would be well worth it though? It would save us time when we actually start our games.

ok - I was weak: My Game (Only option for UK Deluxe) pre-order was quoting 2-3 business days delivery after release (21st for the UK) with no option to guarantee a first day delivery specified. I'm away on business for the week 24-28 Nov so chances of no DAI until December pretty much assured. 

 

So sorry Game but pre-order cancelled. Testing EA Access - let's see what happens:

1. Buy EA Access for 1 year (£19.99) or 1 month (£3.99). I go for a year because I enjoy games and it's 12 months for cost of 5 but charged at once.
2. Pre-ordered DAI Deluxe at 10% discount: So, just saved £1.50 on the pre-order I just cancelled, which was slightly cheaper (£5) physically.
   Went straight for the pre-order which was charged immediately, but this is not a game I'm not pre-ordering so no need to hold back.
3. And it's started downloading DAI - that's kind of exciting even if I can't touch it for 13 days !
   And the download looks as though it will take several hours (25% took over an hour) but that hardly matters under the circumstances.
   It allocated itself 13% of my 500MB drive, so physical disk based games would occupy 60% less of your drive I guess.
   EA Access may well therefore have a 'price' in requiring addition external storage earlier than planned.
4. Will be interesting to find out what 'limited access' actually means with respect to DAI - by the posts above, maybe it's access to everything? Or not. Waiting to see. Either way, 5 days ahead of Nov 21st should have me in the game November 16th doing something.
