Any update on community servers? Anything at all? Look forward to better understanding the update. Suggestion: FG42 should be 4-5 with more recoil. Only 20 rounds!!!

I'm sure you understand this but I'd love to reiterate it: without TOW progressions, Community Games is dead on arrival. The feature looks extremely promising and will most likely increase BFV's longevity, but without TOW no one will want to use it and all the effort will go to waste.

Can you tell us what time the patch goes live and how big it is, please?

I've posted this the past three weeks in your "This Week in Battlefield V" threads and have not received a response. I'll try again.

Some questions I'm hoping you'll address for us:

1) A year ago you made a post soliciting feedback on assignments to improve the system. To date, nothing significant has been done to assignments. For example, I made a thread last week expressing my frustration about the fact that bolt action rifles and self-loading rifles have the exact same assignments and a majority of the users that responded said they've been stuck on the same assignment as me (Mastery VI) for months now with self-loading rifles. We also still have to back completely out of the server we're in to change or set new assignments, which is ridiculous. What's going on with this a year after you asked for our feedback?

2) Why does the team stay silent on the cheating problem in Battlefield 5? Are there any plans to tackle this issue or is it something you've been instructed not to comment on? I very rarely get a game these days without any cheaters.

3) Once again, a year ago team balance was the "top priority" for DICE, yet we still don't have it in the game. The other day I joined a server that had 47/64 players and when I loaded in it was 15 vs 32. (As of 2/24 we know it's not coming in 6.2 either. Why is that?)

4) If DICE refuses to address the cheating and team balance issues, are there any plans to let players run their own servers with Tides of War progression enabled? Pretty sure we could handled most of these issues on our own if this was allowed. I know if I had a server I'd have a ping limit right off the bat which would drastically reduce the chances of getting a cheater in my server.

5) Has DICE considered region locks or ping limits for their servers? I'm in California and if I play at night I'd say around 85% of the players in my server have 150+ ping while I have ~20. You'd think I'd have the advantage in that situation, but sadly I don't. That's why these players are referred to as "pingers". (I should note that high ping players are common all day long, but they seem to basically takeover the servers at night).

u/Braddock512 Could I get a clarification on the new Tier Unlock/Boin reward system that was announced in your recent tweet?

Hey #BattlefieldV players - are you at rank 40 for the Chapter? If so, when you complete a weekly mission in Tides of War and the weekly reward is a Tier skip, you’ll receive 100 Boins.

Let's supposed that I have already gotten (2) Tier skips - This would mean that I would have all of the chapter rewards by rank 38. In this situation, if I am already rank 38, and I happen to get another Tier skip, does this get me the 100 Boins or would I only qualify for that at Rank 40, resulting in zero reward?

That's not exactly what I mean. In the situation that I proposed, I already have gotten (2) tier skip tokens. That means at rank 38, I would have already gotten the rank 39 and and rank 40 reward. So in this situation, another (3rd) tier skip token would grant nothing?

EDIT: What I am trying to suggest is that if the design goal is to add value to the tier skips when they would otherwise be ineffective, then it makes more logical sense for 100 Boins to be granted under the condition that there are no more rewards left to grant and not under the condition that the user is Rank 40. Because of the tier skip system, many users will be out of chapter rewards before they even reach 40.
