This problem is still persisting as of November 19th, 2019. I'm contacting EA directly. The chat help just says to open the ports which is their solution to everything. I've had this problem with Dragon Age Servers before, but it's not affecting Dragon Age Inquisition. I need this for that stupid Defender trophy, which is the last one I haven't gotten. I couldn't care less about the multiplayer. I'm just using that resource online where you send troops to certain areas and come back after an hour or so for more galactic readiness.

I've got the same problem, I want to play the DLC but it doesn't connect to the servers no matter what I do.

Are you on a private or a public (university) network?
Does your EA Account email address or username contain special characters?
Restart your router in this way:
Pull the power plug > wait 5 minutes > return the power plug
If that not helps, shut down your Windows firewall and disable the real-time scanner of your antivirus software.. (just for testing purpose, don't forget to activate the firewall and the antivirus software later on.)
Should it work after you disabled the firewall, here is a description how to allow a program to communicate through the firewall.
This ports must be open on your Router:
Origin Ports
TCP: 80; 443; 9960-9969; 1024-1124; 3216; 18000; 18120; 18060; 27900; 28910; 29900
UDP: 1024-1124; 18000; 29900
Me3 Port
Port 3659
Clearing your DNS cache. or testing a google DNS could also help.
If that not helps here is a EA connection troubleshooting guide.
