I actually had a different word in mind when I came into work and found out some items were now pending.
Once I get updates from the team, I'll add them to this OP.

Are these pending items somehow related to the armory?

Armory, Update, Battlefield Currency.
I'll check in with the Devs in the morning (it's like 5AM in Stockholm right now) regarding the Armory issues - and I've already pinged our internal Slack channel to find out what's what.

First thing I thought after reading it over was "man....Braddock got hosed this week", haha.

I appreciate it. I literally didn't even want to post this because I KNOW what everyone wants to know about.
Such is the life of a CM. Just gotta roll with the punches.
Fingers crossed I get some tasty info to share tomorrow.

Love how you use cock sucker as an insult, really shows how the mods at Games were right about gamers being trash at dealing with others. Honestly yes it is entitlement because we were never going to get the amount of stuff we did when we bought Premium (which wasn’t even a bad thing but entitlement once again got in the way of that) but compared to what we get in other games that do free updates like Siege (my absolute favorite model when it comes to it) we’ve gotten a pretty fair amount of stuff when we compare the titles. So yeah it is entitlement on your part.

Frankly, Im surprised our filters didn't remove that. I removed it and gave the user 48 hours to calm down (temp ban).

I apologize for the late ban of your account. Had to get to a PC. We'll go ahead and make it permanent. See you on your alts! G'luck, we're all counting on you.

I will take this time remind you that using alt's to circumvent bans will be reported to Reddit admins directly. This may result in permanent hardware and ip bans.

Braddock are you guys unionized?

No. I’m not aware of any unions in the games industry. Which is one of the reasons working in this industry can be so volatile.

Still, one of the best jobs I’ve ever had.

Braddock512. You're doing a good job. We appreciate all of dice's efforts. We just wish you could be more open with us. And I just wish we could do something to help!

Me too, bud. Me too.

u/Braddock512 Quick question, in your notes it say's that there is an update around Tuesday evening. So your evening (US time) or which time do you mean?

Was just getting ready to update it. We’ll have final confirmation tomorrow of a go/no go. (EU time, early PDT) and will roll out appropriate info once we have confirmation.

Wow no fix for Firestorm loot system? Is it going to take months to fix it like the base game?

We're updating the loot system for Firestorm with the next game update.

I suspected the delay posting this was 'I've just been given bad news and I really really really don't want to deliver it' or when you send a text to someone and are afraid to look at the reply for fear of how they'll react.

Here's hoping for some good news...Boins, Armory and Firestorm Patch #1 all in the pending pile ...

Maybe sneak some of the update notes into the QoL tracker to tide us over?

Go on

xoxo

'I've just been given bad news and I really really really don't want to deliver it'

Basically. I was hoping it would be locked by the time I got this posted, but unfortunately, no.
We'll know for sure tomorrow morning. I really REALLY want good news tomorrow morning.

And its 7:50 a.m where Braddock is...damn let the man sleep.

I updated the OP.

It's not what I wanted to have as an update to the post, but I did promise I'd update it today.

TL;DR -
We're looking at tomorrow morning as the final confirmation of the Update/Battlefield Currency Blog details "go / no-go".

So does that mean things might come out tomorrow, or you’ll know when things are coming out tomorrow? Just for clarity.

Tomorrow morning I'll know if the update and blogs dependent on the update will be coming out/what day they will be coming out.

Braddock will you be an unlockable skin?

I can see it now... A little Hobbit running around the battlefield, bald as a cueball, laughing hilariously and giving out his squad's position.

When is the patch? They said April.

We have a couple updates coming this month. Doesn’t mean it’s on the 2nd day of the month.

Sorry for my edginess just want to see this loot system fixed or adjusted in Firestorm ASAP. The game mode is a lot of fun. Thanks!

It’s all good, buddy. (Truth be told, I want all the things I’ve been reading in the Update Notes to go live as well.).

And I’m glad you’re liking Firestorm. I have a lot of fun with it myself.

I have a feeling this update introduces BOINS which is why the BOINS article is pending, just like the update. Give us BOINS. I want to support the game and buy gear.

Bingo.

I’ve heard that the update has passed the certification phase, is this correct?

Unless it’s from myself, u/F8RGE, or the official Battlefield channels, it’s not confirmed. We’ll know in the morning.

I also want to add that your doing an amazing job with updating this as you go and appreciate you doing work after work hours. Cheers lad.

Not a great position to be put in for you. Can’t wait for BOINS news ;)

Thanks, bud. Sometimes it drives my wife crazy, me sitting on my phone responding on Reddit/Forums/Twitter, but she knows this is my passion and the love I have for this community and franchise.

Its morning now, 6:17 am right now in EU. So any news now?

No.

The devs haven’t even made it into the office. As soon as I know, y’all will.

I'll be staying up late to get the details and will update this post with new information whether we're a "go/no-go" situation.

Mate. Go get some sleep. Literally NO ONE is holding out for some useless info from DICE about some pointless shit.

Your health > us.

It’s important to me to make sure I get the info y’all need as soon as possible. Plus, I only sleep 4-5 hours a day anyways. My body won’t let me sleep longer.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I fell asleep. Just checked our Slack channel and everything looks good so far.

Awesome to hear we're good to go for new info today! Are we talkin' later this afternoon (US)?

Yup! 4 1/2 hours. Feel great. Cup of coffee and I'm ready to take on the world.

Excited for Burrency, but I wish I got a response from anyone at DICE about the mp 34 texture bug. Anyways, thank you so much your your update!

I believe I forwarded something up, but can you share a link where you explained it out so I can re-ping the team?

I hope it's not the aforementioned "wider spread" because that's SUCH a bad idea. you ever saw more than two people die in one room? try a squad. loot spread all around the room is just as bad as it being all piled up.

The wider spread is the first change that will be implemented. The team is working on additional options in coming updates.

If you're in-game, please exit the game, then log back in and check your Company.

I'm super bummed - almost had the cinder facepaint and thought I would be able to play today to get the remaining healing points I needed (since it said through April 4th.) I feel like all my progression during week one was completely wasted, and I'm pretty discouraged from playing further.

ToW items can be purchased once the week ends via CC if you missed out.

If the team is unaware, please inform them: this is absolutely not true, and applies for literally every cosmetic item released through ToW thus far. Only weapons have been available for CC following ToW. I'd greatly appreciate acknowledgement on whether cosmetic items should be released post-ToW for CC. I've spent considerable time reading responses by Dice employees on Reddit and none have directly acknowledged this, though some posts in 2018 alluded indirectly to cosmetic items never being available again following their release in ToW.

You know what, you're right. I misspoke and I appreciate the opportunity to correct/clarify. (It's been a busy morning and I'm trying to answer as many topics as possible between my phone and laptop. My sincere apologies for not clarifying originally.)

Weapons/vehicles should be purchasable via CC after the ToW Weekly Challenge has ended - but they're not in the Armory, they're under the Company.

Regarding customization, like the Ratburner helmet or face paints , they will be part of future Armory rotations.
