I'm wondering if /u/braddock512 can get on this somehow.

On it.

Tactical Nuke locked and loaded. Target acquired.

Hey Jeff, I'm happy to hear this too. I'm hoping it gets some cool features for like authenticity mode or anything like that.

Also I was wondering if you missed this post? Or what?

The JU 52 has been something I've been asking for since I first played Airborne mode, so any word on that and the other stuff I mentioned there would be much appreciated!

I don't have any info on the JU-52, but I do know that previous items that popped into the Armory then popped out will continue rotating through.

RE: an authenticity toggle - there's no indication that one is being developed. From my limited (but growing) understanding of development, it would likely require a major update to implement something like this.
Here's why:
If it was client-side, the game would need to scan all players connected to said server, using specific cosmetics as a template of what is/isn't allowed. Then we'd have two choices - prevent folks from spawning until they change their outfits (which is forcing someone who wants to customize their soldier how they want to change - and they'd probably end up leaving that server, resulting in further unbalanced matches, etc.) OR automatically display on the end-user's side whatever "authentic" player sets would be available and apply them to that user who toggled "authentic" (it would be only visible t...

This is great to hear, but, the question remains around the “When”.

Community game improvements have been talked about since before the feature was added in. I don’t think it’s unfair to to ask when we’ll finally see it come to fruition.

I don't have a date I can share with you. It's undergoing major work to add various features, and as soon as we get into the testing and QA'ing phase of things with a more secure date, I will share it. It's absolutely something I want to talk about - but I want to set the right expectation on timelines.

Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it. I’m so used to video game subreddits being echo chambers of complaints so it’s really nice to see some feedback from devs. In hindsight I guess some of my suggestions (like the new currency and the refunds) were a little far fetched so sorry about that. I like the idea of increasing the payout for daily challenges, but I was also wondering if we could ever get the end of round CC reward turned back on? Battlefield matches are notoriously long so it was nice to get a little reward for doing well in a 30-45 minute intense gunfight.

The EOR CC payout is something we also talked about today as well.

Hey Jeff, not trying to bug you, but any news on hardcore mode?

I had some thoughts here if you cared to read them. I know you're busy so no rush. I just really miss playing Battlefield man. My friends do too

Man, I had the page open to reply to you yesterday but just got crazy busy. I'm so sorry.

Okay - brace yourself. No, there isn't a hardcore mode being worked on. HOWEVER - they are working on a lot of features and tools AND MUTATORS for Community Games, so you can make your own.

Seriously, thank you for actually responding. I apologise if my posts came off as aggressive towards you and Adam, that really wasn't my intention. I've just been frustrated with things in the game recently, and that came out a lot in my post, but I swear it wasn't aimed at you or anyone else in particular.

I seriously appreciate the response hear, it's good to know you guys are reading this stuff, and I severely apologise for inappropriate behavior (To put it lightly) that other people give to you and Adam no matter what you do, that I seriously disagree with on a fundamental level. I don't think anyone should actively attack or antagonise you or Adam for doing your jobs.

I'm also sorry to hear that there's personal issues going on in your life, and I respect that. I think everyone here has been dealing with things like that with all the stuff that's going on in the world right now, so I believe we can all relate to that, but I also think that people like to know w...

No worries. I didn't take it as aggressive.

And we have some thoughts on how to improve the armory rotations - AND we discussed Company Coin accrual rates (as that is also impacting what people can purchase in the Armory outside of Boins items).

One little update on this: The team agreed that a calendar (2-4 weeks) showing WHAT will hit the Armory and when is a great idea so we're going to draft out what that would look like and then see how we can implement in the core community channels like Reddit, Forums, Steam Forums, and Twitter. As we move forward, I'll keep y'all updated.

At your meeting can you say to the team #SAVEBFV upon my behalf please.

I did. I even called out that I was asked by the Reddit Community to say #SAVEBFV.

Because that’s how they set the rotation. Usually on a 2 week cadence.

I would love BOTH of those options, honestly. I will recommend it, for sure.

Okay well from the two comments you have made which are greatly appreciated, we still don't have any information at all on this situation and the future of this? Will you talk about it?

This comment is what I have for today:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/ha3j9l/a_question_for_dice_regarding_the_armoury/fv2lvk0/

We have a meeting in the morning tomorrow and I'll spend some time talking about it on the call, find out the direction and plan going forward, and share what I can with the community.

Just to prepare yourself, I don't see rotations as ending, but I do agree they can be improved if they are going to stick around. Even better - I would love to see ...

The Armory isn't going to get redesigned. Full stop. Not at this stage of Battlefield V.

We have a meeting tomorrow morning (7AM my time - YAY!) and I'll ask about how we're focusing the rotations - because there will be rotations (as far as I've been told as of last week) for the remainder of the time for Battlefield V.

Probably true but 1) they could limit it to new cosmetics or even update the code to have it refresh daily 2) They could make the items available for purchase in the customization menu like the original skins. You wanted the writer? Just scroll down, select the writer, and purchase.

I would guess they have this on some sort of AI that randomly selects the options and they aren’t picking it weekly unless they over ride.

Refreshing daily isn't possible because it has to be QA'd every time there's a new Armory update - and that has to happen before it's pushed to production (live) to avoid some of the mishaps we've had in the past. And then there's the whole "I missed the rotation on Monday that had something I wanted - I'm mad!" stuff that exacerbates the situation further.

Don't get me wrong, I know that. But t the very least they should say "We hear your feedback, but we can't give any reports on this at the moment." Something along those lines, like the Battlefront guys do.

It would be a lot better than deafening silence.

That doesn't work because this sub flames me when I do that - even though I've been as active as possible (and posting on Reddit and Forums isn't my entire job as a CM, though it is a big critical part to keep up with the community and share details).

The past few days I've actually had some significant personal life stuff going on (I've had to take a few days off because my apt is being sold and my wife and I have 6 weeks to move while there's still a pandemic going on and infection rates are rising, but that's my own bag of crap to deal with, but it is why I have had been offline for a few days) so you'll have to forgive me for not being as active as I have been in the past. Additionally, with all the things going on in the US AND the World regarding racial injustice over the past couple of weeks, our global channels (within all of EA) have taken a step back to listen to other voices on the internet. This doesn't mean I'm not reading what's being said. It doesn't mean I ...

Hi u/ourcommieman -
We've definitely seen the feedback regarding Company Coin accrual rates and appreciate your post (in addition to all the others.)

As you mentioned, you can earn Company Coin through Daily Missions. (It's around 300 or so if you complete all 3 Daily Missions.)

From the ...

"Dev's just can't stop making decisions that alienate the main player base can they?"

The only reason I still play is because I found a group of guys that enjoy a modicum of realism. Otherwise from it's been strategic miss step after strategic miss step.

I'd throw them under the bus, too.

I'm not throwing anyone under the bus. Just stating facts on how the company works.

While it's not what the community wants to hear, the dev team have stated previously - and I shared this again 6 days ago in this thread - there are no plans to faction lock Elites.

I've definitely shared the feedback from the community - the good, the bad, the ugly - and the Dev team have discussed the feedback with various cross-functional teams and a decision was made.

I don't make the decisions. I just share with the community what the Devs have decided.

there's no leaderboard for Firestorm.

What does this mean? There is nobody monitoring Firestorm reports?

I'm referring to the in-game leaderboard in matches that is available with MP games. As noted above by another player, this isn't visible in Firestorm. Therefore, the normal process of reporting someone in-game doesn't work so the alternate process is required, which isn't a great option.

Hi Braddock, since a week has gone by I was wondering if you have any updates from the Dev Team lately?

RE: Night maps, it doesn't look like they will be available, but Freeman and I are seeing what options would be available (we're also talking about extreme weather options).

RE: AA tweaks - I haven't heard anything regarding tweaks, but the team is looking towards the next update and I'll see if there's any updates/tweaks/adjustments. I did highlight this in my community report and in a couple of our calls with various teams.
