Origin Help (Friends lists/Blocking Users)

[Linz]

Here's a simple guide to help you change your TSTO profile in the game and to help you possibly clear out your friends list after adding a bunch of random people during the Whacking Day fiasco.

Well for starters - you can't use your phone/tablet/ipod. You will need a laptop or mac to do this.

You'll need to navigate to the Origin Website




From there you need to download the Origin program, to the top right of the above image... you can't do it by simply signing into the origin website.

At the new screen you'll see one of these images - depending on whether you're on a PC or Mac.




From there - click download.

Once downloaded you'll need to login using the email address and password you use on your device to play TSTO.

Below is my profile


I've hidden a number of things to protect mine and my neighbours privacy, but you get the gist.

At the bottom of the page is your friends/neighbours list, (Yes, I only have 12 neighbours. I'm antisocial.) just click on one of them to bring up a new screen and the options to unfriend, block or report the user. 





Alternatively you can choose to edit your profile, where you can change email address, username and password details.



The next tab down on the left is your privacy settings - here you can select who can see your origin profile details and below is the block list - entering a fellow Origin username will block them from seeing you or contacting you via any of Origin's games.




Currently there is no way to cancel friend requests that you have sent. This feature has not been implemented into Origin yet.

You can however easily remove pending requests from other users, especially if you have a lot of them.

Open Origin on your laptop/mac and select the small icon to the top right as per the circle



From here it will load this new window



You can then see who is online, pending requests, unfriend, and block users to your heart's content.

Thanks for this. But just to confirm, there's no way to see the pending invites with that software, right? (People you sent a friend request to but who never responded?)

That's the only thing I'd really want it for.

Awesome info Linz, I wondered how you do that, not that I want to delete anyone it's just handy to know. Thanks Linz

No it hasn't been implemented into Origin - this has been something that people have wanted for a long time.
