cagey and secretive over cosmestics that you and others have been caught wearing.

I responded to the ONE inquiry about a soldier set. And I don't work on the marketplace so I don't know exactly when items will come out. And regarding the use of the word "secretive", you do understand that I can't talk about every single thing that isn't released yet, right? So there will be things I can't discuss until a certain time. That isn't me being cagey. That's me keeping my job.

Marita 1st August; yeah saw that start of the chapter before removing the ability for us to see up to week 6 in ToW.

The TOW starts on Aug 1st - which is a Thursday, which is the same day EVERY ToW Weekly Challenge Starts.We've just announced today (via a post from PartWelsh) that Marita will be released next week - currently scheduled for July 30th.

Oh so after having to wait a month for these two new elites does tha...

It does look like it indeed, I have seen some cases that might be related to what we call "late-join" bugs. Will discuss this with the team :)

Curious to get some details on how this happened. Did you recently join that match when it happened? (joined the round in progress)

Al-Sundan was released on June 25 for our smaller modes.
We did this because during testing we noted a significant crashing issue on Conquest with this map.

Over the last few weeks, as I'm sure you're aware, we ran into some serious snags that the Dev team prioritized - invisibility bug, crashing on Xbox, stability issues, etc.

During the intervening weeks, we've been sharing updates regarding the deployment of Al-Sundan on Conquest as often as we get them.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the Dev team was able to eliminate the crashing issue, a new issue arose - digital artifacting. (Basically, a giant black box/triangle in the sky when playing on Conquest.) Therefore, the team has held off on releasing Al-Sundan on bigger modes as they work to lock this down and remove that issue so the map can be enjoyed on the bigger modes the way it was designed to be.
It is frustrating that we're currently not able to play Al-Sundan on Conquest - as it w...

Obligatory

Fixing this required some major changes of some gameplay systems so we decided to give the fix more time to be tested to ensure that we are not introducing new issues by fixing it. As a result, it will not be part of the 4.2 update but will very likely be part of the next major patch (4.4).

I have fixed it not so long ago so it's a matter of time now before it makes it into a patch. Sadly not for 4.2 as /u/PartWelsh pointed out :)

We released the map in June for small modes. We’ve continually updated the community regarding the issues with Conquest on Al-Sundan. Marita coming on the 30th gives time for a bit more polish from the Devs.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. What do you mean?

It’s okay. The interwebs make it feel like we are all neighbors. I forget sometimes myself. :)

Yeah the existing BT playlist will remain live as normal (all maps) and we'll see if we can do an early insert of Marita onto that playlist at the same time when the second update deploys.

There's no element of 'because corporate' - this is simply how that team wish to operate. As it says in the article:

We are intentionally leaving out some of the key details of our anti-cheat efforts to avoid revealing anything which cheaters and cheat program developers may take advantage of.

The more we open up the conversation, the harder we make their job. It's easy for me to label that as a 'crappy' approach (when viewed from the perspective of someone who loves, and plays Battlefield) because I recognise that if you can't see something happening, you have no reason to believe that it is.

Giving assurances will feel empty and the best action that can be taken is to ensure that the game simply isn't exposed to this behaviour from players.

I didn’t either, til I moved here. Definitely would’ve impacted my decision if I had known. Hahah

Well, funny you should mention that! I’m working on an updated format that includes video for the TWiB and OIB posts that will show my personality more. As far as streaming, definitely something I’m looking into (for my personal time).

Provided that you're submitting them using all the correct methods - Yes, they're 100% being investigated.

I totally understand. One of the things I want to do is to get people to know me - not just as a CM for BF, but as a person. Hopefully, by doing so, there’s less chance of someone taking something negatively right off the bat.

But I know that may take some time. And mistakes may be made.

I think I saw you taking pictures when I left the office a bit more than an hour ago, how long are you staying in Stockholm?
