If last patch was any indication, probably next week to coincide more closely with Mercury coming out.

We’re currently tracking next week for the update.

Noice, might want to put that into the post, Brad.

We’ll have a preview of next week’s activities in the Weekly Debrief.

i honestly think that for week 8, all the players should just simply not play. this would be to protest the horrible 5k cc they are giving us.

thats an insult to the player base who put hours into the game who have a crap ton of cc already.

But what about the players that don't have a crap ton of CC?

...won't they be earning at least 5K in CC just by playing the week's TOW assignments?

You don't think they'd rather have literally anything other than CC they can earn a million other ways, not to mention CC that is next to useless at this point anyway?

This is wild.

I know. I raised this concern to the team. Unfortunately, it is what it is.

It comes Thursday.

I feel awful for the spot you're in man, but appreciative of the fact that you let us know whatever you can when you can. This is just crazy frustrating.

Maybe pass along to the team that next time they should hold back some of the gas masks and goggles for emergencies like this week.

I literally mentioned that 5K is 1/14 - 1/18 of a tank skin. 1/3 of a Rare Soldier set, 1/2 of a rare weapon set. I recommended 25K. I guess we’ll have to see how the week pans out and take the data and make adjustments.

Fix the vehicle spawn bug and airplane resupply bug. Both are practically gamebreaking bugs that make me want to drop your game indefinitely when they occur.

The airplane resupply bug is being tracked for an upcoming update.

Can you clarify the vehicle spawn bug you’re referring to?

Yeah I am glad about that, but the previous "This Week in Battlefield V" post said it was coming yesterday

Either way, I am excited :)

This Week posts focus on that specific week. The Weekly Debrief mentions upcoming items, but we don’t put a date on them until the following Monday.

So we're not getting vehicle class customisation. That's totally fine. But please, pretty please change the existing vehicle class characters to resemble someone that would fly a plane or drive a tank in WW2

Where does it say we're not getting vehicle class customization? (Like body customization?)

I've asked about the pilot/tanker customization, and was previously told that there's no immediate plans for it - but I'll keep pushing.

I have. The team is looking at it. But I don't have any information or updates to share.

Sorry for going off topic /u/PartWelsh but you mentioned that you would shed some light on the max level situation early this week. Is that still the case?

We’re still ironing some things out.

I’ve set myself a personal deadline of tomorrow to come back and at least help explain where we are with it - even if that means just saying that we will post a full update at the end of this week.

I was chatting to the team this morning and the current delay is understanding when we can implement what it is we have in development.

If it’s coming soon, we will be in a good place to into more detail. If it’s coming later, we may hold back some of that detail as we are conscious that we could change things around before it makes it to a live build.

Yeah, but when will the plane glitch be fixed? With the resupply fields not working still for the last week or so? Please does anyone know any news about that?

They should be fixed with the next update.

Soooo...anything?

Apologies - was out for evening playing Football! It was a painful experience, I don't recommend it!

So :) Update time!

We do have something that we want to talk to everyone about concerning Ranks, and the current cap of 50. Everything is scoped and there's a pretty robust design in place.

Now its all about understanding what development resource can be committed to bringing it over the line. Once they've finalised their prioritisation processes, and can tell me when to expect it in the game, that's the point where we lift the curtain and open the conversation with you all.

I've been told to expect an update from the gang on Friday so I'll be sure to tag whatever I can, prominently, into the weekly wrap up.

I'm hoping that no matter when it's expected, we'll still be able to tell you what it is that we're doing, on Friday. If it's coming sooner rather than later, we'll likely go into more detail than if it's expected further down the road, but I'm ultimately still hoping to talk about it Friday.

tl;dr - Friday (I possibly have a concussion so fingers crossed the above makes sense!)

u/braddock512 Just curious if you guys posted anywhere about the updated map rotation and the reason/logic behind it? I personally don’t like the rotation as much as the last but even that one wasn’t the best. In my opinion having the maps run like they do in grand ops would be the best to provide a sense of logical flow. Rotterdam -> Devastation, Some combo of Arras/Twisted/panzer, Narvik -> Fjell, Hamada -> Aerodrome. You guys have all the data but arranging the maps to reduce how much people quit between rounds because a map they don’t like has come up would be cool. Anyone else feel this way?

That’s the data we looked at. And put the big maps closer together.

Neat fact I found out! The new rotation doesn’t mean every server will be the same. Some started earlier/later in the rotation. So folks that want to play big maps closer together can, then jump to another server and check the current map to know where it is in rotation, while folks that prefer the city/closer quarters maps with my bail on a server when Hamada or Panzerstorm come up in the middle of the rotation.

Gotcha, thanks for insight! Not sure if you posted why you made the change anywhere else but Im sure other people would also like to know why you make the changes you do. Keep up the good work!

Let me get that info. I’ll update the OP with it.

Oh I just meant what you replied to me but if there is some more data then share away good sir!

I’m sure my explanation pales in comparison to the Devs deeper info. I’ll find out!

It's in the OP now. Was actually the same answer! LOL

Honestly, they should just make a playlist with Fjell and Hamada for the two people who like those horrible maps

I like Fjell. I can get a lot of AA kills on E and C.

It just makes me F'ing sad that there has not been a MAP PACK/DLC released yet. The two year life cycle (lets assume) is over 1/4 over at this point!! Who cares about game modes other than the basic , CQ, BT, FL. Make Firestorm a free separate game also, please! Keep up the good work (lets assume its good)!

New map drops within the next 14 days.
