Battlefield V isn't unplayable atleast in my case, I just switched over to smaller game modes for the time being. But I am starting to miss Conguest and Breakthrough..

And for all intents and purposes, this seemed LITERALLY AS A JOKE!

Maybe you guys would get asked this less if there was a more satisfying answer. Even just explaining the process behind adding a new class and why it presumably would take too much development time to implement would help.

It seems like such a small thing to change, so to constantly hear "nah we're not doing that" without any further details doesn't exactly give any resolution.

I think you may have confused this post with phantasatron's other post about tanker and pilot customisation, where I agree that it's not helpful to spam the same message when you've given a clear and complete answer, even though it's not the one he wanted. Here however, he is speaking about the state of these significantly more important issues, and while it's not the most diplomatically put, he does have a point. Apologies if I've misunderstood you though.

Originally posted by A_Ruse_Elaborate

Of course he posts it on every thread you put out, because it's extremely f**king frustrating to not be able to play a game that I paid money for because DICE lack quality control. Also, you're being a total dick in a lot of your comments. Take the edge off and realize that we Xbox players have every right to be pissed off, and your lack of clarity on this issue over the past week has been absolutely revolting. If there were more communication, and that communication was understanding and sympathetic rather than dickish, then you wouldn't be experiencing any ire from the players. The ire would be directed at the game, and at the studio as a whole, not the community manager. I shouldn't even have to explain this to a community manager. The fact that I do shows even more faults in the studio's commitment to this game and this fanbase.

Originally posted by AWU_Hades

Hey, u/Braddock512 I was wondering if the current state of Battlefield V is bad for the upcoming Promotions and RSP feature. DICE is working hard on getting the game fixed and stable again (that's why Al Sundan isn't top priority right now what is understandable).

Some words on these topics would be nice. Can we expect to get these two things like it is planned right now or will it delayed like the map so DICE can work on the game first?

Originally posted by nkonrad

I appreciate the response.

With the game in its current state, obviously fixing major game-breaking issues would take priority over adding a new class to the roster, but when things are back to normal I definitely think it'd be worth bringing up again to the devs.

With the new ability to revive people after their vehicle blows up, it might be worth reconsidering the importance of vehicle operator customization. I'll occasionally get my tank destroyed and then get revived, which means I'm stuck with the default tanker loadout. Even the addition of one or two other SMGs, shotguns, or carbines would make it a lot easier to still contribute to the team if your vehicle gets destroyed.

Well props to you! It would send a pretty fair message though. "The Battlefield V subreddit was so toxic that community managers have left it entirely" It's rough seeing people basically bully you guys for content. No one is that entitled

Originally posted by Lock3down221

Hi u/Braddock512.. I'm unsure if Dice is aware but ever since the hotfix, the game crashes at times while playing in conquest in PS4.. It's not frequent but it happens enough to cause further frustration to an already buggy game.. I can tolerate the other bugs at a certain extent but the invisible soldiers and these game crash bugs are intolerable.. Would the hotfix this week be able to address this as well for the PS4?

Originally posted by dev71

Not that I care at all about face paint, but many of us are missing out on TOW XP points. Being on xbox and not a player of small game modes (Battlefield to me has always been large scale battles, infantry AND vehicles, so conquest and breakthrough), so for people like me, this came has been unplayable since the last hotfix. Too many crashes, not to mention the many issues if you even manage to get into a game. I'm sure its copy and pasted, but reminding us it's the last chance at TOW def sucks if your and xbox player. Because of the way content is dribbled through to us through the TOW system, that means a lot of us will be behind the ball when it comes to the TOW chapter. That means, not only are we missing the chance to play the game, we're going to end up missing content that we would have normally gotten. That sucks.

Originally posted by jjconstantine

Hey u/braddock512 I love this game, despite the bugs. I trust they'll be fixed. Two things I want to know though:

1.) SERVICE STARS???!?!??

These were my favorite thing to grind for in BF3, BF4, and BF1. I spend an absurd amount of time playing battlefield, but I currently don't have the "fake internet points" incentive to grind my M1907 SF. I will spend $100 on boins if you can make this happen. (Seriously. I know it's chump change for EA/Dice but I want it that badly.)

2.) Reset K/D

I sucked at this game when it launched. Now I don't suck. But I have over 20,000 kills, so it's REALLY arduous to change my K/D by even .01... Can we ever have the option to reset this?

Originally posted by WiSeWoRd

So far, I haven't see it work by with the Staghound, Archer, and 38T. No Doritos or spotting score, so the entire mechanic may be wack.

Originally posted by ace980

How come the only thing that works is boins and fixing incorrectly released skins? Im honestly curious as to how much of the staff is working overtime in that part of the company u/Braddock512

u/Braddock512 the British team used to have a much darker khaki brown option for their uniforms in the alpha/beta, any chance we'll ever get that back?

Originally posted by Eirik-E

With the addition of req point call ins and vehicle occupant revives, maybe we should go 1 step above that and look at the larger picture as a whole. How do we transition pilots and tankers to infantry and infantry into tankers and pilots with call ins? Maybe not for this iteration but in general. If battlefield wants to always remain the combined forces shooter, we need to remove these barriers somehow.

Originally posted by 1MC_

/u/Braddock512 Why isnt a CTE for bfv not being considered? I know the top priorities are bug fixing but a CTE could seriously help with that. Look at the community output when new bugs are found. A CTE has got be worth some time.

Originally posted by LtLethal1

Hey u/Braddoxk512 can you explain for us why it's so difficult to add a male/female toggle for the pilot/tanker somewhere in the company screen or settings?

Give us a good detailed explanation and save it so you can refer back to it because I think a lot of the frustration with this issue is that it seems like such a simple thing to add that would please a lot of players and yet DICE refuse to explain why it won't be happening.

What makes this so complicated?

Originally posted by 1MC_

Then if you got 2 days between "main" updates how are you testing things properly? You can't say that you tested the xbox hotfix where all it did is make things worse.

And with performance on PC how on the dive how are you testing these updates?

Originally posted by noobcamper1313

No fix for p08 carbine specs and assignments

Originally posted by MoreDotsOkStopDots

Perhaps. And most definitely that should be top priority. Im just, well flat out pissed they advertise this game as everyone's battlefield and being able to choose how you customize your character, but lock it as a certain way. Just dosent sit well with me.

"The Xbox One stability/crashing Hotfix was tested, but we discovered (too late, unfortunately), that the "Fix Failed". "

I don't understand this. You tested it and found out that it failed but released it anyway? Can you expand on how testing goes and use this hotfix as a example?

Originally posted by itsthechizyeah

Can we call this the "Twib" ?cause Bungie calls theirs the "Twab"

Originally posted by 1MC_

How do they know a bug has a 1/1000 chance of occurring when only ( for example ) testing it 200 times? should you be testing it 1000 to get the "1"?

So every update / hotfixes has the potential of "Fix Failed". How is DICE going about reducing these? Because it looks like this is a main root of problems recently.

Originally posted by vShock_and_Awev

I just want to know that there’s still hope for this game. That there is enough manpower available to get this shit sorted out, or that DICE/EA will divert more resources at least until the game is in an acceptable state (bugs and content-wise) if there aren’t enough people currently working on this. Doubt I’ll get a response on this, as I fear the answer is that this game has largely been abandoned and obviously they aren’t just going to outright say as much, but on the off chance that isn’t the case, we need to hear it now more than ever. This game has too much potential to go out like this.

Hey I was just wondering there was this one update quite a while ago and afterwards hit points would go over a hundred without an enemy dying when hitting one person but it is in no way consistent because sometimes they died in a hundred hit points. I was wondering why and if you guys could please change it back to where 100 hit points per person = dead. PS4.

Is the idea to just have a toggle for male and female? That would go a long way. It just makes literally 0 sense for every single one to be female. Almost seems like a mistake

/u/Braddock512 I believe I’m still effected by the company coin bug. I’ve been at level 50 for a months now and my typical end of round reward is between 50-150cc, even though I sit in the top 5 with a 10k+ score.

Every now and again I’ll get 2500 but never more than that. I know there was a hotfix some months ago but I don’t think that worked for everyone. Is there someone I can contact to get the correct number back?

Originally posted by scotch1701

I try to play daily (at least on PC) by getting a few matches in during lunch break or right after work.

I would honestly think that they should budget some of your allotted (paid) time to play the game, so you can experience first-hand, what is going right, and what is going wrong.

Heck, you could even screenshot some of the chat, when people recognize your name. Similar concept of "contact hours with the community," just in a different medium.

Originally posted by Kingtolapsium

The community is not at fault for the flaws in your negotiated contract with your employer. You're sounding like a bitter old man recently.

 

The comment was saying, "man it would be great if DICE paid their employees to play the game to ensure quality, work you already do", your response was "I work a ton, and don't get paid fairly". Is this the new Battlefield? I don't want a response, but maybe think about this.

Originally posted by Kingtolapsium

Saying "you sound like a bitter old man" does not mean you are. It just means that your post could be construed that way, in my opinion. With that being said, I don't think I should be able to have that take away when the post is coming from a CM (which is why I said something). You certainly sound bitter again in this response, regardless of the nice-ities at the end. Perception doesn't have to equate to reality you know?

 

The comment was trying to imply that your work outside of work, shouldn't be. Saying DICE should make employees play, doesn't take away from the fact that you already do, a lot. I wasn't trying to make it negative, I was just pointing out that you were taking the conversation away from the point, while sounding like you were complaining. I think that was a fair critique.

 

Thanks for the (limited time) downvote Jeff. Perception, is not necessarily reality, stay positive.

Originally posted by dev71

Thanks, it's appreciated. Folks can be a little more patient when they know they won't be missing out.

Originally posted by Huzzahtheredcoat

Hey Jeff, Is there any contingency plans if this hot fix fails like last weeks? I am meaning specifically in reference to the TOW chapters.

I dont need to know what the contingency is (yet), but as no ones come out and explained the issue and its failed one hot fix it seems like a substantial issue. If it fails that means for 3 weeks those of us on Xbox have been battling to get into matches praying to do enough for the full challenge, so we dont need to try and fight our way in all over again. For some it's been neigh on impossible.

I appreciate you guys are working on it and that it's often not productive to think in failure but I feel the need for that warm and fuzzy feeling that no matter what myself and my xbox brethren wont just be told to deal with it.

For me?
