Not sure what the issue is with Reddit, but it's working on new Reddit. Try removing old from the URL. https://imgur.com/7bBhGfP

Asked earlier, but maybe it got lost in the shuffle:

Is this Firestorm loot fix simply going back to the way it was previously or the new loot mechanics one of the devs mentioned a couple months back? Any news on respawn?

Last we talked you mentioned sitting down with the devs at GamesCom and getting some more details. Anything new since then?

The Loot issue is the issue that came up with 4.4 where grabbing armor plates/health from dead bodies was difficult.

100%.

I probably could have been clearer, but I'm asking more in the line of is the fix going to revert things back to the looting system Firestorm has always had or is it the unveiling of the new loot system one of the devs mentioned on here 4-5 months ago?

We talked a little about this ahead of GamesCom and you said you'd sat down with a dev but hadn't gotten anything concrete. Wondering if that's changed since then.

Thanks.

It would revert the issue that arose with 4.4. Looting System Update hasn't been rolled out yet.

About Trello board, wasn't supposed to track devs progress about upcoming features or something similar?

What was MMG tweaking about were you talking last week?

The title card under Features on the board explains that we'll be rolling that section out shortly.
Focus right now is on fixes for the game and getting 4.6 out.

Why do you choose to engage in useless banter, rather than answer meaningful qustions like:

  1. When will al sundan be playable on conquest?

  2. When is RSP coming?

  3. What is being done about the atrocious team balance in this game?

  1. As soon as we get a status update from the Dev team, we'll let y'all know.
  2. We don't have any information to share right now.
  3. It's something we've escalated to the Dev team. We don't have a update to share at this time.

Hey, Braddock, I was wondering if there was any plan on having the last storylines to have increased XP nodes for the ends of later Chapters? It certainly is a real grind for the last few Chapter Levels without the boost of Storyline XP.

Not that I'm aware of.
I'll definitely float the request to the Dev team.

Shit, that's right, I forgot. Community managers aren't allowed to have fun. Sorry I got you in trouble.

Inconceivable!

So what happened to that Screenshot Contest? Wasn't the winners supposed to be revealed September 6th?

Hey DS131 (I abbreviated it),

Unfortunately, I was sick for almost 10 days, to the point I almost had to go to the hospital for acute bronchitis and a flare-up of diverticulitis.

I'm working through the screenshots right now and will have finalists by end of day tomorrow, then will select the top 10 and hopefully post them on Wednesday.

I truly am sorry for the delay - I haven't been sick in ... like 2+ years. I got the flu which mutated to bronchitis, and then had the flare-up in my GI tract that was so painful I almost blacked out a couple times.

u/braddock512 After a recent update I’ve had a problem with PS4 controller touchpad not working in game; I use swiping to sides for leaning and swipe up to change to driver’s seat, but it doesn’t work now (I checked my control setting and it is correct there... pressing to open a minimap does works tho

I shared this in our Slack channel with the Dev team as I've seen a couple other comments regarding this. Have you tried unbinding then rebinding the touchpad for those movements?

Ah, i was not aware that you were the only one in charge of this contest. No worries man, take your time and make sure you find the most incredible pictures!

There's like 2000+ images. It's breathtaking to see the artistic vision of the community. Like, I want to put all of them in an online folder to share with the community, even the ones that don't win.

They're really really cool.

When you say 'Battlefield V Quality of Life Trello Board Update' what exactly does that mean?

Will new bugs be added? I have like 20 or so I can send over, and I'm sure there are dozens from the past few months that people have been posting about here and twitter and submitting in other ways. Are those going to make it onto the Trello board, and if so, when? Will it be like, 5 per week? 10? Or can you add all of them now and then slowly get them assigned to devs so we can see they are being worked on?

Just curious how that specific aspect of the Trello board is going to work.

Thanks!

We're gonna do a status check on the issues that are already there.
Then we're gonna look at the top trending issues that aren't on the board, work with our Lead Producers and QA teams to identify a status and ETA, and then we'll update the board with those.

Nothing... oh btw about that high ping issue, you have to wait again... btw you write about 4.6 all the time, what is with 4.5? Will it just be left out? If so, why?

It's the way the Devs number their updates.
