That is sadly a bad side effect of good sector setup. It's hard to explain,so I made this picture: https://imgur.com/a/0uod42W

This is very rough representation of Panzerstorm Breakthrough which uses the same retreat mechanic. It's a good example because the issue you are describing mostly happens on big maps with long distances between sectors.

So on this map, when the attackers took sector 1, defenders have 60 seconds to retreat from the blue and white area of sector 1 to the white area of sector 2. If we would allow attackers to move into sector 1's blue area (the former defender HQ), then we would run the risk that the attackers would just snowball through the map. Killing defenders on their retreat, putting them into the 15 seconds respawn queue while walking up closely ...

I am not entirely sure where that is, but I will have a check.

That's shouldn't be the case. I would like a video. Rush uses the same logic as Breakthrough. Meaning defenders have 60sec to retreat to the next sector.

Thx for letting me know. Will fix! <3

I think so far it seems like all first sectors are a bit hard for being first sectors (we normally want the first sector to be attacker favoured and tune up the difficulty over time). I want to wait for telemetry to actually see the win rate. Twisted Steel offers a lot of flanking routes though and the attacker have a tank as well. So right now I think Twisted Steel is mostly okay. Devastation is a difficult one since the lanes are so close, but we have to see how it plays throughout the weekend. The meta normally adjusts. (Pro-tip: as an attacker, build the ladder at the front of the cinema)

They are for now. Same for Airborne. I will most likely remove them tho. In the moment we introduced reinforcement-call-ins, I should have removed them. The new call-ins work better, are properly indicated to friends and enemies. It's just a better replacement.

I made the Rush adjustments which includes these spawns. So it's my fault. Sure, it could have been caught in testing, but at the end of the day I am responsible for the quality of the content I deliver.

Also, I get peoples frustration over the current buggy state of the game and there are absolutely no excuses for it. I hope tho that everyone realises how big of a game BFV is and how much testing every patch requires. I really want to break a leg here for my QA colleagues. It's not their fault.

Believe me when I say that we all take the current state very serious and want to and have to do better going forward.

We haven’t locked a date just yet.

Much appreciated.

What platform are you on? Any specific map this occurs the most? I haven’t noticed it on PC, personally, but your experience may differ.

Shoot me some video/screenshots if you can.

It’s a little early to tell, honestly. We’re a ways off from even talking about another BF title. I’ll look into it. Can’t promise there will be much info to share for a while, but I’ve added it to my list.

That’s why it’s not released yet for Conquest. It wasn’t there until we fixed the crashing.

If you can capture any of those - shoot me the images to my inbox or you can email them to me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
Make sure to let me know the platform, mode, and map.

Thanks.

Hey Steve, unfortunately, I can tell you right now that is not going to happen.
Marita will release before Al-Sundan Conquest. (As noted in my reply above, there's some serious visual issues affecting the deployment of Al-Sundan that are rending it unshippable. The team is working to address those, but we don't have an ETA. I'm truly sorry, I know this is frustrating.)

Thank you for this detailed post. Shoot those links over when you have them. I'll be sharing this detail with the sound team.

Thanks again!

They're still working on it.

I know, I know, I know. *sigh*
They fixed the crashing issue that prevented it from being released, but now there's a artifacting (visual bug) issue that puts this giant black object in the sky, which renders the map unshippable in this state.

I'm really sorry, I don't have an ETA and I absolutely understand how frustrating this is - I'm a huge Conquest fan/player myself and this map SCREAMS Conquest.

Let's review this week's calendar.
