Can the devs move the Flim Flam, Pit Crew, and Scrapper sets from the British to the American faction?

They already moved the GI, Yankee, and Wild Eagle sets to the US where they rightfully belong.

There's already internal discussions about having them on the US faction as well. Will keep you posted.

Will it be purchasable with company coin at a later date?

Only weapons are purchaseable via Company Coin through the Company once a mission ends. Skins & melee weapons are not.

I mistakenly left the previous tides of war on and got a large amount of Chapter XP in Combined Arms. Will this carry on to the next chapter?

No, Chapter XP won't carry over.

Have you guys discussed the idea of updating the British and German cosmetics?

Btw thanks for being a great community manager, I feel communication has really improved. Also you don’t have to answer my question but could you at least congratulate the DICE team? I feel the pacific is really going to turn bfv around and I’m proud of the work you guys have done!

I’ll share a screenshot of this post in our internal Slack channel.

There’s some talks about cosmetics. I can’t say more. (But it’s very good talks).

Added 2 images of what the Crewman uniform looks like in-game. One with the hair, torso, and legs, one with torso and legs. (And yes, they both are carrying the M1 Garand with the grenade launcher specialization because of reasons.)

Will there be an elite skin for each class of the new factions like the germans and british already have or no?

Elites are coming, yes. As far as how many, backstory, etc. - I don't have all that info right now.

The new maps are part of the normal Conquest rotation. There's not a dedicated Conquest Pacific playlist at this time. (I believe the new maps are after Al-Sundan in the rotation, so look for a server that is running Al-Sundan.)

Only two maps? Lmao....I was planning on being disappointed but not this disappointed.

Not sure why this is a surprise - we announced last week with the trailer that 2 maps come today, Wake Island comes in December. (And it's kinda been plastered all over the internet, forums, Twitter, YouTube, reddit...)

I had time to play one round of breakthrough while I was on my lunch break and all I can say is B-R-A-V-O on Iwo Jima guys. Been playing all the battlefields since 1942 and as of right now this might be my all time favorite. I only have two minor gripes about the update/new maps.

1) the flamethrower will deflect off of a friendly and set you on fire. Since you have no control over what your team does, would be nice if you didn't get set ablaze if they step in front of you while you are trying to torch the tunnels on Iwo Jima. Don't know if you can do anything about it, and it does add to the realism aspect of it with needing to be aware of what's going on, but it does kind of suck when you're torching the tunnel and someone on your team tries to run into the blaze and it sets you on fire.

2) The appearance settings in "Your Company" have been screwed up since update. If I change my weapon in Assault UK to the M1 garand, it will change my weapon to M1 garand for Assault in all of the other factions. Additionally, if I change my appearance to Christian (random name example) and I have all of my characters set to Christian within the UK faction, if I change any item about his appearance such as helmet or uniform, it will change it for all of them. It is a minor annoyance for those who like to set up their classes ahead of time and have them customized for class roles.

Neither of those are game breaking, and I can live if they are never fixed. Just wanted to point them out because 1) kind of takes away from the fun of using the flamethrower, and 2) changes an aspect of the customization available in Your Company that worked the way I liked prior to the update. Thanks so much for the hard work guys, you have made an excellent game and I look forward to more in the future (Eastern Front/ Normandy pls?)

  1. Thanks for the feedback on that. Will let the team know.
  2. That's as designed regarding appearance. This was pushed live with an update - 2 or 3 updates ago. Your characters lock customization, not class. RE: Weapon - there's a setting in options called "Class Mirroring". Disable that and you'll be fine.

No error messages, just dumped back to desktop.

Yet to play a game yet :(

Make sure to: Update your Drivers Update Windows Try repairing the install in Origin by right-clicking the BFV tile - Repair. Then restart your PC once it is finished, relaunch Origin, then relaunch the game.

If that doesn't help - open up a bug report here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/battlefield-v-bug-reports-en

Why are there no conquest rotations of the new maps? Making us play just breakthrough is ridiculous

The maps are in regular rotation of Conquest, Squad Conquest, and TDM.

Why is there no Conquest rotation for the Pacific maps?

I dislike Breakthrough immensely and trying to find a game of Conquest with free slots through the server browser is near on impossible.

How do you unlock the M1 Garand?

It should be automatically granted. Check your Company under Assault.
