I asked before but I didn't get a response. Are there any plans to update or talk about updates to Firestorm? I'm still waiting on the new looting UI and respawn system that were postponed from the last patch. Any news on them? Anything else cool coming?

There are plans to talk about those Firestorm Quality of Life improvements. u/PartWelsh is leading the charge on that.

No mention of it. Nothing to report Braddock?

They're still working on fixing the artifacting issue - I haven't seen an update today on the status. Will check on that. The priority was to resolve the invisibility issue, which we should have in the next update (next week).

Update for the next week? You said last week the update will release this week, and Rush it's only one week or to stay forever?

Rush is part of the Weekly Challenge. So it will be live during the Chapter 4 Week 4 Storyline.

RE: the timing of the update - I stated we were looking to have an update this week. The next morning, I was told by Devs that it was moved out a week to add more fixes to the game. I clarified this on another post on a thread in this sub.

So I wanted to ask again, any word on creating outfit presets? I remember one of the managers saying they were going to talk to the devs about it and we haven’t received any updates so far.

It's something I've chatted with the team about - and I know it's something you're definitely interested in, but right now, focus is on fixing the game, getting some maps out, improving the game, and getting to Chapter 5 - The Pacific. If I hear any updates on this, I'll let you know.

Braddock I've gotta ask... How is the team personally feeling about the games future?

Are they convinced that BFV will reach a point where it becomes a really good battlefield game content and bug wise? or do they think the games troubled life will hold it back forever? What does the team see in its future?

The team is dedicated to Battlefield V - improving the core gameplay, bringing more fixes to bugs, delivering content (maps, theaters of war, and features). Right now, we’re in a rough spot but I can tell you that the devs, CMs, all of us want the best Battlefield possible and we’re going to continue working on getting it there.

How long will Rush be active in the game?! It’s definitely something we’ve all been looking forward to.

It will be active for the Weekly Storyline.

Any fix for the PO8 specialization glitch?

It's fixed in update 4.2 (the next update).

If you need an argument to help explain to them why we want this so bad, tell them this: right now, we have 8 soldier outfit presets, 4 each faction.

If you add outfit presets for Urban, Desert, Snow, and Forrest, that ups our outfit combos to 32! 32 different outfits means there’s more incentive for me to purchase BOINS for in depth customization per biome (that’s my 2¢ anyways)

Right now, at the start of the match, I change my outfit and camo depending on the map (the right camo is a huge advantage) and frankly it’s obnoxious, presets need to be a thing down the line.

I absolutely agree that presets should be available. Especially because of the fact you can't just select the headgear and "Apply All" of the same skin on a soldier (like you can with the weapon skins).

u/Braddock512 any update on that letter about pilot/tanker customization? I know you said you were working on a pitch to the devs about that.

I know the priority right now is fixing the game, but I’m just curious if there’s any update!

Nothing I can share right now, but we (u/PartWelsh and I) are on it.

any news on fixing P08 Carbine's specializations being stuck?

This was answered in this thread. Yes, it is fixed with the next update (4.2).

So, basically the team can really only focus on one issue at a time then? Just to manage expectations, it'd be good to know what can be reasonably expected.

No, sorry if that’s how it seemed. They are fixing multiple issue and focusing on critical bugs simultaneously. Obviously, the inability to see enemies or friendlies would take precedence over other items. They’ve continued working on Al-Sundan’s issue because it’s important to get this map out and available on the mode where it will really shine. But that would be hampered if you can’t see enemies.

New elite soldiers coming next week as well?

Correct. Norman and Ilse arrive with the update.

Apparently, the person who asked the question I was responding to does care.

Just like everyone cares about the horrible deluxe edition, the terrible lack of content , the terrible customisation options, the lack of tank and pilot customisation, the horrible bugs and performance issues, yet you don't really answer thos questions do you? They're too difficult

I’ve literally touched on every one of those topics in the last 3-5 weeks, when I can (there’s still some discussions regarding Deluxe that are happening). I just don’t repeat those answers every time I post. I’m sorry if you haven’t seen them, but there is an auto-mod bot that puts all of our replies at the top of any thread we comment on.

Have a good day.

/u/Braddock512 Whats up with you and /u/PartWelsh being less active on this subreddit? You only post in your own threads and Welsh has no communication with the reddit community within 4 days. What going on? Is the BF community going to get the anthem treatment with a blackout from Devs and CMs?

This community is spiralling with frustration and we need real answers about this games future. Next week patches will be the biggest patch for BFV yet and radio silence isn't a good sign.

Whats up?

I’m not being “radio silent”. I do try to post as often as possible (and this subreddit isn’t the only place I engage with the community). While I absolutely understand the frustration the community is feeling right now, and share a lot of that frustration, most times when I comment or post, it’s immediately downvoted or, even better, insults and abuse are slung, including personal attacks. So, I engage where I can and move on - I’m not going to stop posting, but I’m not going to sit and fuel a thread that is focused on attacking myself or Welsh.

A lot of the questions asked in other threads are answered in the official threads I post and I try to answer threads I’m tagged in. Half the time it’s a question we’ve been asked about/information we’ve already shared.

Really sucks for people who may not be able to play that week/most of it, as was the case with me last time. Rush was what got me into Battlefield in the first place, I'm sure there are a lot of people who started on Bad Company 2 that would agree.

I know. :( I’m trying to see if we can have it as an extended playlist. No promises because they may already have plans, but I’ve sent the request.

Will you fix online achievements (Elite, Eager Beaver and globetrotter) and online stats for achievements?

It’s in the next update (4.2).

Maybe combine Rush with the reworked Frontlines Maps for a playlist of absolute awesomeness? :)

That's what u/PartWelsh and I are suggesting. We'll see if the team can get it sorted for us all.
