Don't expect this skin to ever make it into the game
It's nice to see you willing to still post here when the community is in a uproar instead of just ghosting us until it blows down.
For better or worse, I love this community and am fighting alongside y'all.
What are some issues that you've pushed to the team that have made some traction so far?
Not being snarky, just wondering since you have direct communication with the devs.
Thanks.
I'm constantly pushing for a mid-round balancer and team switch.Better reporting tools for cheating and more visiblity in cheaters being banned.More engaged playlists to bring those TLM back more often.(I usually gripe about the ToW rewards if they're not a weapon or at least a SUPER badass skin.)
The top three things in that list are getting traction internally (doesn't mean it's coming next week - but they are investigating how they can bring those things in/make it better), but turning a ship takes some time (and yes, I know, plenty of time has passed), but I'm seeing progress on quality of life gameplay stuff and that's encouraging.
Well yeah they are the minority but I'm sure it's really out of frustration and you are the one that replies so they see you as "dice bahd punching bag"
Yep. That's true. I chose this role in gaming because I'd rather be with the community than stuck behind spreadsheets and marketing documents. ;)
So I gotta take the good with the bad, the fun with the rough times.
3 days ago you were posting as if 4.4 was coming.
Only a few hours ago did you start damage control.
Three days ago (Friday, August 23rd), I shared THIS on the Weekly Debrief:
Update 4.4
The team continues to drive towards a release date, and we'll be sharing that info as soon as it's locked. We're focused on delivering this update as soon as possible, but we want to make sure it's ready (bug-free). This update will include the 2 new maps and the Progression System Update (rank 500), along with a lot of tweaks and fixes (we'll share some of those in next week's This Week in Battlefield V).
It doesn't say the update is coming this week. It says exactly what I've shared again today - the Devs are working to address some final bugs and get a solid build to certification and once we have that locked, we'll be sharing the release date.
If there is a comment/post that I made in the last week that says the update is locked for this week, please send the link here. (I know there's not because I don't want to be blamed for missed release dates, so I don't share dates unless it's "guaranteed" - and then I still get a "pleasant" surprise sometimes at the last minute.)
Jacksfrags said he got a nasty cold there too!
Jack, Ben Walke, me, a bunch of folks got the “ConCrud”. I just have a lot of stuff to do so I woke up, chewed 3 Tylenol and took some sinus medicine and drank hibiscus tea with ginger all day.
Gotta carry around a little vile of hand sanitizer next time, get well soon!
Nah. I’m just avoiding everyone and keeping people at least 4 ft away if I have to see them. Zero contact - no fist bumps, hand shakes, high-fives, or hugs. I was even contemplating “cosplaying” as Heisenberg by wearing a haz-mat suit next time.
Yeah see that's why I kept asking those questions. See, you didn't say it wasn't coming. I think it would have been better if you just came clean and said so, in no uncertain terms.
It was tentatively scheduled for this week, pending QA checks. We were informed by the release team it was at risk to be pushed out from this week. Then I was on a plane for 18 hours and was very sick when I got home. So my next work day, yesterday, I confirmed with the team that it wasn’t this happening this week.
