Anyone else having issues either getting origin app to log in or the passthrough authentication into EA?

Had a BF4 crash (first time in ages) and now after a reboot origin no longe working.

Event logs is showing DNS failures for chat.dm.origin.com.

Looks like the stats engine is down?

Yeha I think so, luckily I just got the bow unlocked! Got pretty lucky trying to get enough of us with the right dogtags....about 8 of us all went down in the lift, both friendly and enemy! Got the bow now though and now I can't log into battlelog. Thank god you didn't have to have all of the dogtags...that would have been tiresome, getting one was bad enough! Dull!!!!

Yes EA Servers are down.

akilleazy · 23 Nov 2014 at 22:52

budge1972 · 23 Nov 2014 at 22:53

akilleazy · 23 Nov 2014 at 22:55

Once you've unlocked the bow does it stay in your loadout?

V_R · 24 Nov 2014 at 09:18

Yeah its listed under carbines.

The downside to all this dogtag hunting / bow tomfoolery.....

lol

Josh · 24 Nov 2014 at 09:59

Low skill noob lol

V_R · 24 Nov 2014 at 10:28

Everyone knows skill is the most important stat, right?

Josh · 24 Nov 2014 at 11:29

I spotted that on reddit earlier, going to try it later, might video it and see if it works.

physichull · 24 Nov 2014 at 12:08

Rats! Only just found out that there are papers in the Phantom Room that you have to interact with in order to unlock the assignment. Oh well, the prize is only a dogtag, at least I've got the bow.

GG DICE.

That makes my effort feel quite cheap and I'm actually quite annoyed by this. I hope they patch it soon. A lot of effort went into getting those jet kill ribbons too, that felt like more of a chore than finding a dogtag.

So to get it correctly you need:

- To finish all the other Phantom Assignments
- Grab at least one of the dog tags on the maps
- Then get 3 others who have a different tag
- Go down in elevator
- Get Bow

Could someone not put a Spawn beacon down in the room and everyone just spawn on them?

Apparently they now say it only bypasses the need for a chipped tag. You still need all the other PP stuff.

I'd assume it will get patched soon.

- To finish all the other Phantom Assignments and be wearing the phantom program tag on right, and camo on soldier AND the gun
- Grab at least one of the dog tags on the maps
- Then get *At least* 3 others who have a different tag, can be as many as you can get in the lift as long as you have one of each tag.
- Go down in elevator enter the code
- Get Bow and assignment by interacting with the papers on the top shelf.

Yep.

Spawning on squad cant be done in the room, hell you cant even crouch.
