Do you know when can we expect Chapter 5 update or info? Appreciate the work!

Yes I do know. No I can't tell you... yet.
(It's coming. The things I've seen... woooohooo.... it's gonna be sick.)

I bet that you wanted to say soon instead of shortly

I already owe $3 to the S-word Jar. I'm not paying another penny.
No s-word from me. Ever.

500 boins that you will use the s word in the next 2 weeks.

I'll take that bet. :)

Anything next week? 🙃

More giveaways, and the mission reward will be the Trench Carbine, I believe.

Making the 3 best gamemodes in the game as limited time only gamemodes/ pay to play gamemodes is a cruel and unusual punishment and is not the way they should go about that. They need to bring Frontlines and Domination back as permanent gamemodes and add rush as a permanent gamemode now.

Let's not dive into rumors, especially ones like the above.
From the outset, we want you to use Private Games to create experiences for you/your community. You pick the modes/maps.

u/Braddock512 I'd like to enter the contest giveaway for the BFV Art book, but my Origin Account Email that I assume you guys would message does not exist anymore. Do I just need to contact EA Support to have them let me change my email?

Everytime I try to change it, it just tries to send a verification code to my now non-existent email.

Shoot me a message. I'll see what I can do from my end to help.

And fixed. Glad I was able to help. Good luck!

So even battlefront II lets users toggle the chat filter. This was promised to be in battlefield V, what happened?

I don’t recall it being promised. Got a link?

You have said this for literally ever piece of content that ended up getting delayed/scrapped. I think you should really stop or at least word it better.

Alright then. That’s fair. I won’t get excited about the trailer I’ve seen or the Playtests I’ve participated in.

Thanks for the link. Before launch, we were exploring options. Once we launched, the decision was made to leave the filter on and update it, as appropriate. This falls in line with EA’s larger global initiative of “Building Healthy Communities”. The reality of it is, profanity and abusive language doesn’t need to be in any game.

You mean like the trailers you saw for the 5v5 or playtests of it? Mmm

Did I talk about any trailers for the 5v5 mode? Or any Playtests? Not being snarky - I legit don’t recall because I only got to participate in one Playtest due to lots of traveling.

Don’t get me wrong. I can understand your skepticism. And it’s fair to feel that way. We have a lot to prove with Chapter 5. My original reply was to share my excitement for what I’ve seen because I think it’s gonna be really great.

The soldier characters can literally say profanities ingame while the players can't in chat. Why is that ingame? Because it's a war setting and it makes sense. Keep it on by default but let players decide, empower the players.

This was one of the assurances that influenced my purchase of the game and it's feels like a slap in the face like removing certain game modes and turning them into temporary ones. Interfering with our ability to socialize directly by forcing an always on chat filter damages the player experence greatly. Besides the filter not being perfect and completely mucking up normal chat like asking team to focus on certain objectives it also goes against the franchise. Battlefield has been around since 2002, it's a mature franchise, and many of the players are mature enough to decide if they want a chat filter or not. Try to be a bit more inclusive, let the players be themselves.

Inclusivity doesn't include toxicity. In fact, removing toxicity is one of the things we're pushing for in incluvisivity initiatives.

And if people can't communicate without profanity, abuse towards others, etc. - maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't be communicating with anyone. (This latter part is just my personal opinion.)
