I mean, I know you said on the official forums it wouldn't be much this week, but didn't expect it to be THIS.

Some info on 6.2 would have been nice...

Is there any time frame expected for 6.2? February? Early March? April-May?

Originally posted by nladyman

Just curious, has the February survey data been compiled and passed on to the team yet or is it still under review?

Originally posted by Owl_No

it is ok, i shall wait until it works, thank you

however i do have issues with firestorm, there seems to be no major updates, could you enlighten me?

Originally posted by MoreDotsOkStopDots

Is not being able to change assignments mid game or to where you don't have to back out being addressed somehwere? Its absolutely ridiculous you have to back out to change them.

Close, but I think every single person on this sub is more concerned with the

Hey there’s the smarm absolutely everyone hates and doesn’t respect.

But you think we’re all assholes, so there’s that.

Originally posted by SubbansSlapShot

What suggestions could possible be thought of besides allowing players to add assignments in game or between rounds?

Originally posted by Hungrymonkey1986

Wish I had his job where all I had to do was just pick easy question that isn't game related but yet still get payed

Originally posted by ASilentPartner

Your “Have a good one” is easily smarm. Don’t pretend otherwise. You do that shit across a variety of comments.

But yea you think we’re assholes via your twitter likes.

I like the current system. We just need to be able to access/change them mid-game. Having a few active at once gives a sense of specialization/purpose twd a specific goal yknow? Wouldnt be the same if they were all just tracked simultaneously

So why are you also left in the dark? Jesus Ubisoft and rainbow six siege just did a what? 2 year road map? Sir...with all due respect...you can't even tell us what's tomorrow on the playlists...can't feel sorry for incompetence

TDM, have mercy. Come on Braddock!!

You guys should just not bother with this. If you aren't going to have information on how the devs are going to fix the gunplay problem they intentionally created either at their own or the company's stupid behest, no one is going to upvote or care.

It makes me sad how you guys screwed up a venerable franchise to the point it will probably begin to return a lot less on the next game.

I think it might be time for you to take some lessons on communication. Just about everything you post here seems like its sarcastic, dismisdive, or smarmy(such a good word).

There are good ways and bad waysbto communicate with the public, and the difference can often be a single word. You consistently do it badly from what ive seen.

For example. Your entire second paragraph above, just should not exist. You did well with the first, then took the extra time to get hyper defensive and insulting. It was unnecessary.

Your original, have a good one, comment was very abrupt and dismissive. With some rewording it might have been fine.

However, you need to be very careful what you put before an ending like, have a good one, or you just look like you are trying to dismiss what is being said and end the conversation without opporyunity for comback. The equivelent of making sure you have rhe last word before walking away.

I think it is unbelievably unfair to lump everyone in this sub together and say we all "abuse" you. Many of us just want some kind of information, not sure why you'd go and blame us, if your bosses actually let you (or gave you) proper information to report the tone would be much different.

Maybe it is time for one of the higher ups still working on BFV to come out and set some proper expectations for this game. This whole mystery thing does not work for a game that is holding on by a thread, there needs to be realistic goals but also communication in regards to things that are not realistic and likely won't make it into this title.

People shouldn't be threatening you or calling you names.

BUT the state of this sub is a direct reflection of how DICE treats the community and your work.

Will you be sharing those details here in this thread or would it be a new new one? So sorry still figuring all the in's and outs of Reddit.

Thanks 🍻

Theres far more than 20 people unhappy with the current state of the game Braddock.

Its really concerning to me that you are framing this as a tiny minority controlling the narrative when its abundantly clear how unhappy most of the fanbase is.

Originally posted by WiseFuzzball403

Hi u/Braddock512, Friday has past. Did the devs finish reviewing the patch notes? Anything you can share with us? I just need a reason to get excited about BFV again.

Originally posted by WiseFuzzball403

Fair enough. But no ETA on when we can read them? It would be awesome to have a sneak peak highlighting a few of the major changes. Thanks for responding.

Not knocking your plans or anything but considering the shitshow caused by recent changes, something more substantial would be better. Is there a Community Broadcast or Letters from the Front coming so that you guys can actually communicate what the learnings you gained from 5.2 were and the direction you intend to take the game in? If yes, when? If not, why not?

Originally posted by Braddock512

I sent that over on Thursday as he was in a match I was in and saw it first hand.

I remember asking you about your opinion about the last update and you were positive then and it didn't go over so well when it was released. I'm not saying you're a liar, but I feel you may have some bias being that that is your employer and that is preventing you from saying what you want not necessarily on this specifically, but in general . I don't expect you to comment on this either and that is fine. I don't think this patch will go over very well unless there are some major weapon balances involved and I'm not asking for a revert, never did actually, but I do hope a large portion of the guns are tweaked. I'm also hoping there are some major updates to the Community Games because we need that bad since that would be a major help against cheaters to start not to mention being able to tailor the game to how we want to play.

So about them patch notes.............

Edit: another disappointing failure to communicate

Originally posted by Beta1548

The comment you made higher up this thread sure sounds exactly like “we’ll have patch notes Friday”

Originally posted by Spectre_HD

You have to realise that the horrid TTK change and subsequent negative backlash and people wanting it reverted/fixed/etc became top priority for what the players that are still playing want. It quite frankly trumps everything else that was in 6.0.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the first major patch after the devs dumped this TTK mess on us and then left for Christmas holidays and then came back for a month with barely any news, that people expect the first thing to be addressed was the horrid TTK.

6.0 would have definitely been a GREAT addition if it weren't for the fact that we were left with 5.2. for almost 3 months. 5.0 isn't considered one of the best additions to BFV for no reason. It was a great update that people believed BFV is improving and then 5.2. hit and smashed the goodwill that was created.

The devs or whoever in charge should recognise that pissing off your fans/community but most importantly, your customers is never a good idea. Every other industry knows this except the gaming industry for whatever reason.

It may have been communicated that 6.2. would be the weapon balance but for such a massive issue, I do not believe it was communicated well enough. It should have been at the very top of the announcements and patch notes. It should have a separate pinned thread. That level of communication is needed because of how much of a mess 5.2. was and how much players wanted it reverted.
