External link →They heard us ! Thanking everyone here who made it happen
We all sincerely appreciate how vocal everyone was on the topic. Thank you.
Thank you for making this happen, good news and communication!
We can do better. But thanks for saying all the same 🧡
Was it really neccesary to even take it out in the first place?
Sincere question.
Thx btw.
Yes and no.
Yes it was essential. We need to be better at how we introduce new content to make sure that it’s welcome, meeting expectations, and behaving as designed.
No it maybe wasn’t. It was pretty clear just from announce that it was wanted, and even more so throughout the weekend.
To be as sensible as possible, we did need these few days whilst it was out of rotation to assess how valuable it was to fans of Firestorm.
Still some things we can improve on. More to come.
Hey PartWelsh, were you guys watching the queue timers/player counts across solos/squads while duos were active? I loved duos and think Firestorm suits duos better than any other BR game for a combination of balancing, pacing, loot options, and just general feeling. My only concern is if the player count is going to be able to keep the 3 modes populated consistently - Blackout, for example, struggles massively on PC - and if that is the case are there any contingency plans (no need for details if you can't share them right now)?
Edit: Also, shoutout to /r/firestorm for all those enjoying the mode
This is some of the data that will come back to us. It is something the team look at. As to what the answers might be, no clue, but absolutely something that is monitored broadly across all modes, platforms and regions.
Thanks for adding this back.. While we're at it, is it possible to add a few more items in the armory this week without waiting for another refresh? The current selection is lacking..
I wouldn’t expect any changes to the rotation that’s presently live, but it’s not to say that we aren’t looking for feedback on the implementation of this overall. Naturally we have some of that from the opening weeks but don’t be shy adding more below for us to capture.

So it was taken out because of the way it was brought in?

Couldn't you guys tell from server population?
I guess you guys check the social medias, but I'm sure there's thousands of players who have never even heard of Reddit, don't have a facebook or twitter. So how can you possibly know what THEY think about bringing in a new mode, then take it out four days later? They don't come here to shout, or can't fill in any polls.
You’re right, they don’t. This is why we invest on data, in addition to what we see across all public social media platforms.
Good guy dice for putting out the fire they started.
I can understand that perspective. I’m not here to take a curtain call, just trying to help reset the dial and talk.
Nothing against you my man. I appreciate that the fire has been put out. Have a great day!
You too dude.
Ah I see.. Most of us were hoping to have more than 2 soldier sets offered and more unique gun skin camos.. As someone who grinded CC and bought a few boins, the limited offers this week are quite disappointing.. Feedback: I would suggest that the rotation would have more items both for soldiers and gun skins.. Also a lot of us grinded CC so we would appreciate more items that are obtainable with CC and allow past skins to stay in the armory in case some of us change our minds.. Just my 2 cents..
Appreciate that. Thanks.
Hey /u/PartWelsh, any information you can give us regarding RSP? The community was pretty vocal about that aswell.
No. Not today.
All of the models in the armory have really cool hair, but our soldiers don't have customizable hair. Actually, the exclusion is really baffling to me. I'm one of the few who would instantly drop money on proper female hair, like the woman in the first trailer. I wonder is there something technically limiting there, or was it scrapped because of backlash? I'm aware of the retribution head, but more options would be super welcome.
I think making Boins skins purchasable even for 100k CC or something mad would be better than not at all, but I understand if that's impossible.
Hearing you.
What about rush? This was easily the best temporary game mode that was dropped so far and many players were vocal on wanting it to come back.
All true. Nothing to share with you today.
Could polls just be integrated into the game instead of relying on votes from segmented communities on Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook? This way everyone is assured a chance to vote and voice their preferences. Could just be a quick splash screen that appears when the game is booted up.
Polls weren’t utilised as a critical measure of folks interest. That tweet was incidental. We have wider data collection than twitter or Reddit upvotes.
Thanks for the communication, are there going to be any possible updates for the inventory UI in firestorm? As in there's an option to expand the inventory, so maybe an option to collapse the inventory, to just show the gun equipped, how much ammo you have for that gun, and then one slot for either armor/health packs, and one for gadgets like grenades, panzerfausts, AP mines etc.
There are things like this happening with Firestorm. I'll fire this suggestion across. Thank you for it!
