Hey mate, Any chance firestorm games starting up could be added to the server browser? Small population regions like OCE already having issues with the matchmaking and it putting us on to Asian servers.

With being able to select a server we don't have to worry about potentially buggy matchmaking chucking us on servers on the other side of the world.

I love firestorm and for it to be unplayable a week after release feels bad.

Sorry I can't answer that question since I'm not on the team that handles matchmaking and server browsing. Sounds like a good idea though.

Im sure there are other areas that I cant think ofnat the moment but one area that stands out are those big glass windows on Rotterdam that are ground level. Vaulting in so inconsistent with them. You either do or dont. Ive gone up to them from inside and outside to try and vault through but I either cant or vaulting animation plays and I end up on the ledge next to the glass. Which then I have to break myself. Its also difficult to twll if there is glass in those windows or not.

Alright the big windows, got it. I'm pretty sure they're setup correctly but I'm not sure my system handles them the proper way. I'll take a look tomorrow to see what I can do on those.

u/Braddock512 Quick question, in your notes it say's that there is an update around Tuesday evening. So your evening (US time) or which time do you mean?

Was just getting ready to update it. We’ll have final confirmation tomorrow of a go/no go. (EU time, early PDT) and will roll out appropriate info once we have confirmation.

Braddock512. You're doing a good job. We appreciate all of dice's efforts. We just wish you could be more open with us. And I just wish we could do something to help!

Me too, bud. Me too.

Great to hear about improving the loot spread in Firestorm! Any update on the way for inventory management?

Nothing I can share yet, but our UX/UI teams are looking at options.

Braddock are you guys unionized?

No. I’m not aware of any unions in the games industry. Which is one of the reasons working in this industry can be so volatile.

Still, one of the best jobs I’ve ever had.

While you're referring things to a level designer, can you take a look at the cliffs on Hamada?

The clipping box sticks out significantly from the actual terrain making them liable to cause "accidents".

Yep I sent it to the team, thanks!

I apologize for the late ban of your account. Had to get to a PC. We'll go ahead and make it permanent. See you on your alts! G'luck, we're all counting on you.

I will take this time remind you that using alt's to circumvent bans will be reported to Reddit admins directly. This may result in permanent hardware and ip bans.

Love how you use cock sucker as an insult, really shows how the mods at Games were right about gamers being trash at dealing with others. Honestly yes it is entitlement because we were never going to get the amount of stuff we did when we bought Premium (which wasn’t even a bad thing but entitlement once again got in the way of that) but compared to what we get in other games that do free updates like Siege (my absolute favorite model when it comes to it) we’ve gotten a pretty fair amount of stuff when we compare the titles. So yeah it is entitlement on your part.

Frankly, Im surprised our filters didn't remove that. I removed it and gave the user 48 hours to calm down (temp ban).

Sounds good! Ultimately it's not a HUGE issue for me. Sometimes I just have to reposition quickly and try again but it's never been a big enough problem to bother me. I sorta expect some small issues like that with a game as complex as BFV.

The one thing that does drive me bonkers though is walking over rubble. Mainly happens in the pre-destroyed houses in Narvik and in/around the church on Devastation. My character will randomly get hung up or unable to jump up on a small ledge. It's gotten me killed a bunch when retreating from fire, so now I tend to try and avoid those areas when playing those maps.

On these rubble piles, do you feel like you're sliding or are not completely in control?

We are planning on improving such issues by improving the ground detection code. Also improved sliding/jumping angles should make sure jumps aren't canceled.

Hopefully we'll be able to get to it quickly, lots of future stuff we're working on though so it might have to wait a few patches.

Well, there are some windows like on the F flag (the small hut on the G side of that flag area) on Twisted Steel where you can crouch and pass through the wall under the window instead of having to vault through it, if you watch the video footage on the EA page for Twisted Steel F flag, it is the building you see at 0:02/0:05 to the right of the flag pole. Not sure if the building needs to be damaged or not, I noticed it sometime in the past few weeks and I just thought "oh, that's weird" and forgot about it until now.

There's the snow piles near the roads on Narvik where you cannot run up then but vaulting up can take a few goes, I would have to remember to record footage to give exact locations of where in particular as it isn't all parts of it, only certain spots and it isn't anywhere near as bad as it used to be lol.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. The snow piles are problematic, I tried improving them a couple of patches ago but sadly vaulting on them still doesn't work 100%. One of our designers is planning to do some slight changes on sliding angles though which might improve the 'not able to vault but also not jumping over' cases.

I'll check the building on Twisted Steel when I have a spare couple of minutes.

Since the other responders don't understand software design and debugging, and didn't give helpful answers, I'll try to help.

I have seen issues with lower destroyed walls. Think bombed out house or bunker with only 2-4ft of wall coming up from the ground. I regularly have issues vaulting over these. Also smaller windows from houses that have the glass/frame partially destroyed but not completely.

Good feedback. A couple of weeks back I looked at these destroyed walls with the designer who built them. The issue is that these walls are built using building blocks with very rough physics colliders to save performance. Because of this, sometimes the colliders stick out a bit too much making it impossible to vault. He improved the setup a bit but sadly there isn't much more he can do except completely rebuilding all destructible assets, which obviously isn't something we can do.

I will ask QA to do a pass on these assets when they have some time to see if I can improve it slightly from the code side. The setup is pretty delicate though at this point, fix one thing, break two others... I have to be careful.

I'd advise you to either do a very deep scan of your system with an anti-virus/anti-malware program or totally wipe everything and reformat your PC. You need to make absolutely sure nothing is running on your machine that would have tripped a false positive. I have heard of cases where Fairfight bans people who have some nasty stuff running on their machines and even identities being stolen because of it.

Good luck bud.

We just searched modmail and there isnt a single message from you. Sorry someone else had the same idea as you and that you want credit.

Absolutely savage.

That's usually a bad mic. Good mics these days process out background noise.

Thanks for the video, one of our level designers is going to fix it.

Don't forget:

- Enemies spawning in on players under fire still. There is nothing more annoying then to be shooting a guy, hit reload and a enemy spawns in on the dead (or nearly dead) player.

- Invulnerable tank gunners

- Broken vaulting

- My pet peeve - spawning out in the middle of a open field with no cover at all because there are enemy in the fortified flag area who can easily shoot you before you get a chance to move into cover.

- Broken vaulting

Please tell me where so I can fix it

Still broken:

  • team imbalances(numbers). This was an issue for 3 years in BF1 and is still an issue in BFV.
  • Top squad’s all being on the same team and never being shuffled to opposite team post match resulting in steamroll after steamroll after steamroll.
  • AFK players never seem to get kicked from the match in a fair and timely manner. You can Have a full squad of afk players on your team for 5 to 10 minutes which means you lose unless the other teams is really bad or they have more afk players than your team.
  • Vaulting(better but still unreliable to the point it can take 5 to 8 attempts to get through a single window)
  • bipods(better but still unreliable).
  • reserving tanks and aircraft. We can’t spawn the vehicle we’ve reserved. How is this still an issue 5 months post launch? Spawning the vehicle we have reserved works flawlessly in BF4 and BF1. What’s the disconnect DICE?
  • Sound design. missing/inconsistent enemy...
