When matchmaking through the nodes, you’ll be joining the Grind playlist:

  • Grind on Narvik

Hey Braddock, any new word on the possibility of porting some more characters over to our new factions?

Nothing I can discuss right now. There are talks internally of addressing the amount of soldiers (male and female) in the new factions.

Hmm why does Operation Underground not count for the Grind Win challenge? Not the end of the world just seems strange to me.

Other than that appreciate adding OP Underground to the mode, though was a shame to see that was the only addition. Guess thats something to look forward to in future weeks when it comes back...

From what I was told, it's the way the mode is set up on the backend. For Operation Underground, it's different than the setup they did to create Grind for Vanilla. The mode works, but for some reason it doesn't track the last task on Op Underground.

Is there any chance of the issue being fixed during the week?

It would require a hotfix. Right now the team is focused on the next update so if you get into the last task and are on Operation Underground, play the match and then play the next one in rotation or back out and use the server browser to search for a Grind server that isn't running Operation Underground.

Thanks for your feedback. Constructive criticism is always welcome. u/PartWelsh is working on a more in-depth article that should be coming out before the update that has more information.

"You know" Adam and I don't play Battlefield V? I play daily, as does he. And most of the Devs do.

u/Braddock512 what about us players being able to vote for things on the trello* board?

Can we vote now to remove burnt, Halloween and German elite skins from the Pacific?

At this time, there's no indication the team has any plans to remove those items from the Pacific.

Hi u/Braddock512 Ive seen no end of posts about team balancing. Is there anything in the works you can tell us about regarding this matter? Will team switching be allowed at some point? The lack of autobalance is one of the biggest problems with the game at the moment IMHO. I'm also curious if there is any kind of between-round team scrambling because it doesn't seem like there is at present.

Hey /u/ianucci
 
Team balance is an issue I've brought up numerous times. I don't have any insight right this second to share, but it is something the internal teams have mentioned repeatedly in their playtests, especially on smaller modes like Squad Conqquest (2 players leave one side, it's a slaughter).

 
The team switching thing is something I've offered as a recommendation (based on feedback from y'all in the community), but the concern is how to prevent people from pub-stacking (more than they already do) and how to prevent folks on a losing team from switching to the winning team. (We had this in BF1, so I'm continuing to push to see if we can get any update from the team.)
 

I'm sorry I don't have an answer today. It definitely is very frustrating when teams become unbalanced and there's no manual or automatic way to even it out.

It's heartbreaking to see BFV make a comeback with the great Pacific launch and now become worse and worse, goofier and goofier with Halloween, European elites, soon father Christmas, then at some point we will have Japanese elites fight Americans in Stalingrad. I can't believe the dev team actually thinks this is a good idea.

Definitely appreciate the feedback.
I won't be responding to any further inquiries regarding this unless I have new information.
