Community Broadcasts or some Dev Talks would be ideal for quiet weeks like this where the calendar's free enough!

Are there possibilities to add a weekly playlist in-game for those who'd prefer a mix of modes/maps (Bombastic fantastic was great)? I know there was a playlist discussion, but seems nothing came after Bombastic went away, and we've just the vanilla ones now!

they update the post to include the new dates of the week? the QOL tracker is still from last week? I don’t see any actual information about...anything...

or am I missing something? I may has an acute case of the dumb.

Originally posted by Exa2552

Could you please remove the issues from the QoL tracker that have been fixed weeks ago? I'd like to see the current issues, so I know you are aware of that.

And please change the prone icon, it's a person walking on all fours like he/she is drunk. When we are prone, we're not walking on all fours. Who designed this shit?

Since there's been some ambiguity about it, would you be able to confirm which epic skins will be unlockable through progression? Will any or all of the epics currently available in the armory for Boins be available to unlock through assignments, leveling up, future tides of war, etc?

I know there are already epic skins available through mastery assignments, like the gold weapons, so I'm just asking about the new ones in the armory.

Bad chapter and and bad week. Nothing new this week like last week.

Skins as a TOW reward is really not interesting, whether it’s for guns and face... And the axe next week doesn’t make you want to either. Why don’t you put the weapons you already have like the Sterling/ Lanchester/ Chauchat/ m1903 stock ect instead?

Or put more than one reward at the end of the week? (skin + weapon).

Chapter reward for the Panzer IV got swapped, or is bugged, as I received the Stug skin from last chapter again. What's going on here?

i feel really upset about the current mtx system every post i made about that got straight up ignored in my opinion the possiblity to earn epic items without spending money does not aply for players who are playing since launch.. we already unlock probably ever epic item thru progression and chapter rank and rhe wapeons assiments are a complete frustation. speaking of the player base since launche we ve been thru all the post launche horror and are in need of new content. i was really looking forward to thw mtx system cause i expected it to be more like star wars battlefront 2 ..... but i was wrong... sadly i hope ur planning of changing tge current mtx state cause this is a slap in the face for all people who been here since launch

and epic items are availeble throuh chapter tier peogression is really no compensation

keep up the work and i hope this time i don t get ignored

Hi Jeff. Sorry but I'll ask again and will keep asking.

• Level cap increase.

• Special color for friends, so we recognize who our friends are over all the random friendly players in a server.

You guys also said that with the new fiscal year there was gonna be fewer strings attached so you could release some more info about upcoming stuff. When will this start?

There is a data miner here on Reddit and the guy creates more hype than you guys at DICE do. Isn't that weird? Aren't you guys at DICE supposed to create this hype?

Thanks for your time.

Sorry. But was this it?? We need information, numbers, dates. More specificity. Not: "Something is coming, we will tell you something about it later".

Originally posted by DJ_Rhoomba

Hey u/Braddock512, sort of like you guys did with the "how you create and animate/get sound for weapons" post you guys did once, could we get a similar post/dev talk about how you guys did the same type of stuff for tanks/vehicles?

If you have it, I would love, and i'm sure others would love too how you guys got the sounds and built the models and animations of the Tiger, Panzer, even planes and other tanks! Would be a sweet post!

Thanks for your hard work as always u/Braddock512.

Maybe this isn’t the place to ask this, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what it must be like to work for Dice right now. A lot of you have been there for a while right?

Battlefield V is probably like your baby to you guys. Especially with this game returning to our ww2 roots. Must be great working on such a fantastic game!

Been a fan since the 1942 days and I love the work you guys are doing! Hope one day to join your team and work on the game that has been in my life for as long as I can remember!

My buddy and I are still waiting for DX12 to be fixed. Crash crash crash crash. Oh so much fun to play....... And no it's not either of our computers. It's the $hit game. Until it is addressed we won't be atempting to play. Didn't spend $1400 on a 2080 ti sea hawk to play RT enabled games in DX11.

Originally posted by BennyGoId

Judging from what Braddock said, there will be rewards and other unlocks for each level within the cap when a level cap increase gets implemented.

adding X value to the cap. Rewards, unlocks, XP algorithms, etc

Originally posted by Sahnesteif95

thanks for checking but if thats the case why can t we unlock them with cc there is no real difference between unlocking those skins throuh progression or cc both ways force u to play a lot on a regular basis but i think the cc purchaise would be way more appealing cause right now cc is pointless for long time players

Has their been any chatter on bringing back the rental server program? I'd just love the ability to control map rotation. I'd also like to increase ticket count, but wouldn't personally need any more customization than that.

That’s awesome!

Not to distract you from all your busy work and life but what was it like as a social media team lead? What kind of projects did you take on and such?

I’m currently in college studying social media and marketing and I want to know what that would be like at Dice!

Originally posted by Brodom93

Watch the spicy attitude my guy, these are paying customers that have spent near $100 for the product you represent. Fanbase already has wavering trust in your company’s ability to provide meaningful content updates in a reasonable timeframe and have valid concerns about the state of the game you represent.

Still here, still waiting for an update about this since this morning u/Braddock512

Absolutely. I'd love of we can get this fixed. My rig is...

1950x under custom water loop @4ghz (does the same with stock clocks) ASRock x399 professional RTX 2080 ti in the same loop 16gb ddr4 at 3200 (it's on asrocks approved list and worked straight away at those clocks) EVO 970 m.2 500gb Intel 750 pcie 400gb (game is on this drive along with other games) zXr sound card with burson audio vivid v6 op amps Fidelio X2 headphones Zowie 240hz with dyac monitor

My buddies rig is my old rig. Asrock x99 fatality 5820k at 4.5ghz RTX 2070 16gb ram Sound blaster z card and same Fidelio X2 cans Evo m.2 500gb

His crashes worse than mine. Sometimes has to open the game multiple times to even get to play it. But neither one of us can play more than a few minutes before the game just goes poof to desktop with out error messages. A quick search and I see tons of people with this problem.

Thank you for the response, but after this change the matchmaking process has become worse, I've only seen negative feedback from other Australian's. Myself and many others can't play during peak time, I couldn't get into a game on weekend evenings. Is their plans to remedy this issue or are we out of luck?

Originally posted by dkb_wow

Frustration is right. Although, seems like par for the course in my experience trying to get this resolved. At least you were under the assumption that it could be added to the account. EA Advisors in the past always just told me they had no power to add any items to player accounts, except for that one guy I talked to the other night.

I feel bad for the other thousands of players that were effected by this and have tried to get it resolved via EA support. Anyways, guess I'll continue to wait and will check in tomorrow, again. Thanks again though, I really do appreciate what you've done so far.

Originally posted by dkb_wow

Is there any ETA on SA servers for firestorm? I think 2 weeks ago someone from dice posted here saying it would be live at the end of that week and since then nothing.

Originally posted by Conse1

Oh. So there are South American servers up? I thought they werent up yet because everytime I try to play it puts me on NA. Nice to know.

Originally posted by natterdog1234

What happened to the upgrades to looting? They knew about that in the beginning and still hasn’t been fixed or improved

Originally posted by Conse1

Understood. Unfortunately I havent been able to get in any server, SA or NA after the update anymore. I start the matchmaking and after the timer expires i get a message saying matchmaking failed to find a suitable game. Trying at peak SA hours. Ive been trying solo and I dont if just there arent enough players because of the duos launch. Will have to stick to normal multiplayer.

Sucks we need to play firestorm to be able to progress in tides of war...

Can we get a fix for the lag/freeze experienced when in fire fights, usually around a kill or death...?

Originally posted by Phallanxar

I think almost every player would agree that the game is simply not worth playing at 100+ ms. I think we've seen that sentiment reflected by a gradual depletion in the Oceanic Firestorm playerbase over the past several weeks. During the first week of release, there were Oceanic games running between 5:00 PM - 2:00 AM but now that window has shrunk to something like 9:00 PM - 11:00 PM.

This shrinking is not due to a gradual loss of excitement for the game but instead because of the destructive loop created by 'MM out-of-region'. If a player notices that they can only find Oceanic games between 5:00 PM - 2:00 AM, they will almost certainly stop searching for games outside of that window. In-turn, as their own playing schedule changes week-to-week, they will dedicate less time to the game whether they want to or not. For example, if a player has made a new social commitment on a given night (because most players have a life outside of the game), they might normally have tried to make up for the hours they lost by playing a few games on the following morning. Maybe then, they could finish their next ToW challenge or explore the new area they've been meaning to drop at. Because of the 5:00 PM - 2:00 AM window, however, they cannot do so and indeed, now they have created their own play window between 5:00 PM - 2:00 AM on the night of the new commitment. The sum of thousands of such instances for each player eventually creates the sort of loop that brings us to our current 9:00 PM - 11:00 PM window (and it's only going to shrink more). Unless everyone is given the option to queue for longer so that they can play when it suits them without being matched out-of-region, the game is unsustainable in Oceania.

If this is the solution (however much of a band-aid) that every player has asked for, if this is the most obvious first step; why has it not been implemented yet? I think we deserve to know the reasoning.

P.S I know this isn't your fault. I'm just trying to express what I'm sure most Oceanic players want to express and I hope you can relay it to the relevant people. We love your game, we just want to play it.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned already, anyone else have issue with top gunner not registering shots in vehicles? Firing and nothing happens, just makes the sound and animation.

Originally posted by Hysterecles

Back pay the company coins. No sense in releasing new material if I can't even enjoy it because I and from other threads I've seen ALOT of others get ghosted because we cant do specializations. This is a bug that just breaks the game right now, and should have been addressed months ago, if not prior to launch. You keep releasing content without fixing your issues..its like slapping a bandaid on a bullet wound.
