Any news on the cosmetic discussions from last week's debrief? (Elites, Epics, Yankee, White Eagle,..)

Nothing has changed from what was stated last week. Feedback has been shared with the Devs. As I previously stated, if anything changes, we’ll let you know.

Hi u/Braddock512 ,

It's clear you cant say exactly when Private games are coming, But you state in November there will be a (livestream and full blog) about it, are we able to know which day that the livestream and blog are planned for? as it is noted in this week that is my current assumption.

Not yet. Sorry. Those bits of info and the stream happen later in November.

Jk, thanks.

Sorry to bother you during your cold u/Braddock512 but you got a typo for Wednesday's date. It should say the 30th instead of the 23rd. Unless you created time travel back a week for a day's length. Anyways, hope you get better soon.

Fixed.

We’ll have all that info available (for real this time, not an accidental early deploy of the blog) on Oct 31.

I think you know that I'm going to be enjoying hardcore mode as soon as it's ready, my friends and I can't wait.

But please let the devs know that we need proper admin controls and custom settings for the true hardcore experience. Thanks for keeping us posted man.

They know, brother. (Because I keep harranguing them about it.)

Added the following:

KNOWN ISSUES (NEW)

  • Some Xbox users who have previously held an EA Access subscription are being disconnected from EA Online if they press the Guide button during gameplay
    • This is a recurrence of an issue we have previously patched, but a different cause. We are working at full speed to correct the issue
  • Game sharing on Xbox is not behaving correctly for multiple accounts on the same Xbox

    • If you make use of the Home Xbox functionality to share access to Battlefield V with other users on the same Xbox, it's currently detecting the additional profiles as 'Trial Users' and preventing you from accessing the full game as normal. This is unintended and we're working to correct that as fast as possible.

    We'll be updating our Trello as we progress with these problems, and we'll sharing more updates on all of these issues across the usual channels as and when we receive them.

Updated Known Issues:

We're rolling out a hotfix for Xbox One on October 31st to address the above issues.
