[2019] Battlefields Community Survey: 3-5 minutes of your time that helps us to build a better game with your direct and honest feedback

Providing a mid month reminder that you're always invited to directly share your feedback with us via the above Survey Link. We track feedback all over the place, but if you have a few minutes spare in your day, myself and /u/braddock512 always appreciate the statistical version of that.

One thing that you asked us to do last month was to share what it was we were seeing in our surveys. I previously posted this out on Twitter but I'll copy out what we learned in May below.

In terms of what we've seen so far in this months survey, the standout point has been Game Performance. We're working with the team to address this as the highest priority.

What you told us in May

✅ You're enjoying Battlefield more than you did the month previous

👀 You're looking for more new and fresh content

🔊 There's still room for us to improve communication with you all

🗺️ Arras is still your King of the Maps

🏜️ Hamada and Fjell you're less inclined to rate highly

📈 Battle For France is your favorite Grand Ops

🛠️ Operation Battle Axe, less so

🗣️ Dev Talks are coming back.

They're called 'On The Battlefield' - they're shorter, but much more focused and you'll start to see them later this month in order to build on the announcements from EA Play.

🗺️ When you're talking about content, you're talking about maps.

What I wasn't previously able to share on Twitter when we published the survey at the start of the month was that we've listened intently to this point and I hope you're starting to see that with what we showed at EA Play.

🗺️ We've adjusted the map rotations in May on Conquest to provide the opportunity for everyone to stay in the same servers, for longer.

Whilst Hamada and Fjell aren't great for everyone, some love it and so we've tried to ensure that similarly paced maps flow with each other. We also made sure that when Mercury dropped that we had dedicated playlists for it. We're keen to do this when Al Sundan is introduced later this month

🤔 We're having a good think about what changes we can make with Grand Ops.

We're no further along the process than that stage right now, changes aren't imminent and we'll be careful about what we do, but open about how we proceed with that should we decide to change it up.

🔊 We'll keep talking

👂 We'll keep listening

We know that there's been a good few pain points in the last month but myself and /u/Braddock512 are here with you, and following the reveal of the new content at EA Play, we're really excited for everything that's still to come. We will continue responding everywhere that we can, and are working to ensure that we're talking earlier with you 🧡

I don't believe that we presently have this in the plans anywhere. The current system wasn't designed to support them.

Edit - For clarification, this was in relation to custom Platoon Emblems that existed in past BF titles. You can select Platoon Emblems from the existing roster of Emblems in BFV, though they've been a tad broken recently. Fix for this should be coming next week.

Yeah one of the things that currently sort of misbehaves is that if you're presently representing a platoon - it doesn't always show your own Emblem as selected in the menus. If you stop representing your platoon suddenly you find that all your vehicles and weapons and the like are all suddenly displayed.

I will share your comment above directly with the Anti-Cheat team. It won't generate a response from them, or myself on the topic as our policy is not to discuss our approaches to Anti Cheat (beyond what we've commented on publicly) - but I will 100% send your comment through to the team.

I'm a fan of it personally. I recognize that for some folks that the map doesn't suit their playstyles. There's a lot of open spaces that are great for vehicle players and pilots, but beyond some of the flags are said to feel quite empty for folks.

Would be keen for those who rate the map less favorably to reply below and share their thoughts for all to see.

This very much seems to be the common trend in feedback, and I've certainly shared this with the team as a thought starter for them.

What's your personal view on this? Given the ability, what would you change on the map to address this? Delete planes? Add more AA? Change the flyzone?

You're a good egg /u/Bob_Himself

Genuinely they are. Most importantly we hope that ultimately, as we process the feedback and decide what we can turn into action that it proves to be useful back to everyone else too.

I think we rested the question this month (knowing that new maps were coming) so we'll possibly ask a similar question either next month or following the release of Marita.

By and large, it hasn't changed too much over the past 3 months. Arras has stood pretty strongly for a while now but the others can switch around depending on what modes we've featured that month that give highlight to certain maps.

We agree completely. We're finalizing the patch notes for next week, a lot of which is focused around QoL and Bug Fixes.

We know completely that it's one thing to feel excited for new content, but frustrated that x, y, z is still happening

We genuinely don't. We solicit feedback from everywhere and myself and Jeff keep pretty active on a lot of platforms.

It's easy for Reddit to be presented as the centre of the Battlefield universe, owing to the ease of access and mass of folks that congregate here, but we measure these things as carefully as possible.

I try to talk to people in game where I can, and often just hang out in casual folks Twitch chats.

Also - late in the games life cycle? It's been just over 6 months. Don't be shy to voice your feelings :)

Direct answer - What makes you think we will stop?

You'll enjoy Al Sundan
