Back to back hot fixes! Thanks to the team for charging at this so deliberately and systematically. I can only imagine how much these derail y'all from the work you (and we) would rather be put into the project. I've always wondered, how much time do you personally get to just log on and enjoy the game? Ive seen a couple ppl rocking DICE emblems before on my team, i always try to stick close, maybe too stalkerish lol, when i do. u/Braddock512

I try to play daily (at least on PC) by getting a few matches in during lunch break or right after work. I have to balance this with taking care of my Alaskan Klee Kai pup, spending time with my wife, practicing my bass guitar, and working on my motorcycles (and going for rides, of course).

Agree with you on the bug priorities for now but once we finally see things have smoothened out - its on.

That’s fair.

I understand timelines can change and are not exact at this point, but does “after the summer” mean September/Early October or is it something further out? Appreciate any additional clarity you can provide.

Sept 23 is the actual last day of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere. So, sometime after that. And the reason it’s taking this long is because when it comes out, it is imperative that the tools and functionality are solid.

Ok, thanks. Will there be a debrief about it when they're close to be added to the game? Have a nice week and thanks for the good CM work

Definitely. We already did have an awesome write-up by PartWelsh on Promotions, and I dropped a Broadcast about Private Matches back in May. As we get closer, I expect we’ll have a refresh for folks who may have missed those and add some Dev Talks with new/updated info.

Good job apologizing, I myself have messed up many times too. I hope you have a good evening Braddock :)

I’m a human and I $&@% up sometimes. And I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to learn from my personal errors.

Take care, bud.

Dang, 2 shots? Wonder what the 2shot range is gonna be like. Seems like a buffed 43

And I believe that scope magnification goes up to 3x. (So some nice long distance shots are possible).

Hey, u/Braddock512 I was wondering if the current state of Battlefield V is bad for the upcoming Promotions and RSP feature. DICE is working hard on getting the game fixed and stable again (that's why Al Sundan isn't top priority right now what is understandable).

Some words on these topics would be nice. Can we expect to get these two things like it is planned right now or will it delayed like the map so DICE can work on the game first?

I don’t have any information that Promotions (August) will be delayed, and at this time, Private Matches are still on track to roll out after the summer.

"First, this is the calendar that I put every week to talk about what's happening this week. You know this."

That statement comes off as rude and condescending. I'd get my ass handed to me if I ever spoke to a customer like that at my job.

I offer my apologies as it was not intended to be rude nor condescending.

At least 3 times a week someone asks “what the $&@% the This Week in Battlefield is? Oh nothing!” when we’ve been doing these posts since ... January/February? (I can’t remember when we started them, but it’s been months).

It’s a weekly roadmap to keep the community informed of what we’re doing as we absolutely want to continue to improve communication. And it gets updated every day with links, new items that come up, etc.

If I misinterpreted his statement, that is 100% on me and for that I do apologize.

Of course he posts it on every thread you put out, because it's extremely f**king frustrating to not be able to play a game that I paid money for because DICE lack quality control. Also, you're being a total dick in a lot of your comments. Take the edge off and realize that we Xbox players have every right to be pissed off, and your lack of clarity on this issue over the past week has been absolutely revolting. If there were more communication, and that communication was understanding and sympathetic rather than dickish, then you wouldn't be experiencing any ire from the players. The ire would be directed at the game, and at the studio as a whole, not the community manager. I shouldn't even have to explain this to a community manager. The fact that I do shows even more faults in the studio's commitment to this game and this fanbase.

The Xbox One issue is incredible important for us to resolve, which is why we’re pushing for another hotfix this week.

I think you may have confused this post with phantasatron's other post about tanker and pilot customisation, where I agree that it's not helpful to spam the same message when you've given a clear and complete answer, even though it's not the one he wanted. Here however, he is speaking about the state of these significantly more important issues, and while it's not the most diplomatically put, he does have a point. Apologies if I've misunderstood you though.

You’re right. I was replying from my inbox, not through the thread.

I absolutely am frustrated with the issues affecting Xbox One specifically, as minor bugs could at least be played through - but with the current state of the Xbox One client, it’s not even possible.

Any word on all Ju-88 skins? They disappeared. Even the ones ynlovjed through ToW or bought with CC. Gone.

I’ll check on that in the morning when Stockholm is back in office.

It’s a fun gun. Yes, it’s for the Assault class and is semi-automatic. 2-3 shots to kill at medium distance.

Damn. I feel so sorry for Jeff and Part RN. I mean, yes the game is broken now but at the same time, they have to absorb all that negativity. Feels almost like they are fighting a losing battle.

Hang on there, it's always dark before the sunrise.

Careful. You’ll be downvoted for this, I’m sure.

Sincerely speaking, thank you for honesty in your words, but you know you have to deal with this kind of person in your position, if patience ends it is better not answer than look rude in front of people who really like your job (like me)

My patience hasn’t ended and I wasn’t rude. I stated the facts that have been stated previously, multiple times. But unfortunately, this information was already shared and he and/or Veekay stated they would post this every week. As is evidenced by the multitude of downvotes, it’s being used to stir up more negativity when we (as a community - all of us) are dealing with game issues that are significantly more important.

Is there a chance we will reach Marita’s release date without getting Al Sundan first?

Unfortunately, yes. Due to the issues that arose with 4.0 and the hotfix (invisible players, stability, crashing, stuttering), priority has been shifted to those while the team is still working on the artifacting issues mentioned by PartWelsh.

Maybe you guys would get asked this less if there was a more satisfying answer. Even just explaining the process behind adding a new class and why it presumably would take too much development time to implement would help.

It seems like such a small thing to change, so to constantly hear "nah we're not doing that" without any further details doesn't exactly give any resolution.

It is not a priority when there are bigger issues. Perspective is important.

And I’ve given the answer the Devs have given me. If it changes, I’ll let you know. But I’m not pushing for it while the game is in the current state. And if that gets me downvoted, that’s fine. I’m more concerned about stability and playability and tracking issues than if the pilot or tanker are a male or female or what they’re wearing.

Again, it’s a matter of perspective.

any news for the p08 carbine specs and assignments

Looking at next week's update notes, the P08 carbine specialization should be fixed.

Ok, I do not know if you wanted to sound like a jerk in that comment, I really like your work here, and I hope from the heart that it was not the intention, but I'll leave something very clear here, hantasatron has ALL the right to be revolted with the PATHETIC service that you guys are providing, we pay for it, and for some people the value of the game is not cheap, we are not fans donating what we can for a kickstarter project, we are customers, and if you sell a product LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE we have every right to complain about this, if you are tired of hearing these complaints go complaining with your team or with Ea or with whoever your boss is and not with us! And for all intents and purposes, this seemed LITERALLY AS A JOKE!

I definitely understand how frustrated you are with the current state of Battlefield V. That has nothing to do with Phantasatron's post. He literally posts this every single post we put out - as if we haven't answered the question with information directly from the Dev team. And to be quite honest, it's not a priority. Fixing the game is.

u/Braddock512 Is everything still on track with Marita being introduced this month? as an xbox playing it's such a relief that a fix may be coming this week. Battlefield V isn't unplayable atleast in my case, I just switched over to smaller game modes for the time being. But I am starting to miss Conguest and Breakthrough..

Yes, it's still scheduled to come next week with next week's main update.

That's next week, TBC.
