I'm so sick of misaki in Europe (as every try hard got her for free) and killing the new immersion we got in the new armory update. I understand not locking the paid elites unfortunately but misaki needs to go. Can we please get faction locked elites
External link →They're not going to do it. They made it clear their minds aren't going to be changed and basically told us to f**k off. I want them locked too, but I learned to just stop asking.
If people really don't like seeing Misaki on European maps, or German elites in the Pacific, then I can really only make two suggestions:
The passive approach: If they're in your squad, then politely ask them to switch to a faction accurate elite or normal solider. If they refuse, then kick them.
The zero tolerance approach: Do not let them in your squad, do not give them ammo, do not heal/revive them. Get the point across that they're butchering the immersion and need to switch their character or leave the game.
Is the second suggestion toxic as f**k? Absolutely. It's basically griefing and in any other game, I would never condone that kind of behavior. But seeing as just how many people are complaining about seeing Misaki and the other elites running around in the wrong factions and DICE's refusal to do anything about it, at this point I feel it's only action that players can take.

Just a heads-up.The second option is actually a violation of the Terms of Service regarding harassment, griefing, and abuse of other players. (And we have a zero tolerance policy on that. I'm not trying to threaten you or whatever. Just giving you a heads-up.)
Now, if you feel it's so terrible, you can create a solo squad or only squad with your friends who feel like you. Alternately, create a Custom Game and when you tell people about it, let them know that they will be expected to use "appropriate" customization/Elites based on your map choices. But to purposely refuse to be a team player because you don't like the Elite they use, or the cosmetic they use - that's seriously uncool. I'm glad you recognize that it is toxic and I hope that you don't try to purposely impact someone's gameplay over cosmetics (that really don't mean anything). If the person is griefing (and using customization is absolutely NOT griefing), just play the game.
Hi.
The last time I checked with the team, they have no intentions of locking Elites to particular theaters/factions. I have no indication that this will change.
So the salty pilot that i shot down with my Flakpanzer 4 three times in a row and then getting the assault class with max explosives and searching my tank and shitting it full with explosives only to tbag me again and again and then writing im 'a camping Noob' is completely fine? Lol nice one Braddock
No, it's not fine and you should report them.
I never found a report button on PS4, but its ok, i gave him a second chance and he was mad that he was not getting any plane anymore and left. Man that plane bois haha
To report on PS4 or Xbox One:
You just can't stop making decisions that alienate your main player base can you?
I don't make the decisions. I just share with the community what the Devs have decided.
Roger, good copy.
"Dev's just can't stop making decisions that alienate the main player base can they?"
The only reason I still play is because I found a group of guys that enjoy a modicum of realism. Otherwise from it's been strategic miss step after strategic miss step.
I'd throw them under the bus, too.
I'm not throwing anyone under the bus. Just stating facts on how the company works.
While it's not what the community wants to hear, the dev team have stated previously - and I shared this again 6 days ago in this thread - there are no plans to faction lock Elites.
I've definitely shared the feedback from the community - the good, the bad, the ugly - and the Dev team have discussed the feedback with various cross-functional teams and a decision was made.
