Is there any reason the updates come out on Tuesdays but new tides of war don't start until Thursdays? We download the new content (guns, maps etc) and then have to wait 2 days to actually use the new content.

Usually, guns and maps that are released in an update become available when the update releases. This week, Al-Sundan had some critical issues that caused 100% crashing on Conquest so the team was going to have to delay it. In their investigations, they were able to confirm the issue wasn't present on smaller modes, so we will have the smaller modes available on Thursday.

Tuesdays are a good day for updates for us because: 1. It's not Monday/Friday - sometimes folks take long weekends, so staffing can be impacted on those days. 2. ToW starts on Thursday, so we generally try to avoid Thursdays as much as possible because we have to push the update first, then we have to confirm ToW viability, then push it live. 3. Wednesday - It's just ... Wednesday.

Cheeky!

LOL - DAM means Digital Asset Management. It's where we store all our cool images, videos, etc. as gigantic files before they're cut down, optimized for Twitter and such.

Airplane noise has been replaced with the sound of flares constantly being fired off. Wonderful job.

What platform are you on? I'm gathering a list of bugs for the Devs.

Was mentioned yesterday in the patch notes:

Axis Male Soldier Face Paint - We're aware of an issue where Axis male soldier face paints aren't visible/selectable. We're working on this and will update with an ETA as soon as possible.

Are there any plans to change the assignment system? Most players dislike the fact that you can only have 4 assignments active and can't change them ingame.

It's something the Dev team is looking at, but I don't have an ETA at this time.

Yeesh. Not quite an appropriate comment for a community manager, wouldn't you say?

I wouldn’t say so. It’s like judging a movie based on a 5 second trailer. For example, when Heath Ledger was chosen to be the Joker, the internet was rabid with negativity before they even really saw him in action. Now, granted, he earned an Oscar for his performance because it was darn near perfect, but for months before release, people had such a negative taste in their mouth for him. Then we get Jared Leto’s Joker. And there was backlash. (And it sorta was earned once it was released because ... yikes.)

My comment wasn’t in any way dismissing his concerns or feedback. It was more along the lines of advising that player to try it out first and then, by all means, come and provide feedback - once “the tires have been kicked”. Apologies if that’s not how it was taken.

People are now glowing in the dark and in shadows, that's the change

Right. That change happened a while ago though. So I was just confused that this showed up now with the recent patch just released. I had a conversation with the Lead Lighting Artist and we will evaluate the situation again in the upcoming days. Depending on that, we might make an adjustment or leave it the way it is.

Why potentially leaving it?
Visibility has been a constant complain since launch, but the negative sentiment faded significantly since the re-introduction of the soldier rim lighting (from previous BFs). So we see this as a success.
We currently have no intention of removing this lighting again, but maybe we haven't hit the right tuning for Panzerstorm yet. So let's re-evaluate this again. :)

Keep the feedback coming! <3

Pssst, you don't really need to hijack a comment for visibility, the bot stickies your comments on the top of the comments for you.

I get that completely but recognising that it’s set to get downvoted to oblivion, I figured I’d keep it as visible as possible.

Why do people like Freeman and Westie have lgbt flags next to their Twitter profiles?

It’s Pride month and I’m showing my support to friends and allies of LGBTQ+ Communities. An entirely personal choice.

At this point, the bugs are doing a better job serving the community than the devs running the armory/content delivery system lol

edit: From the updated BF weekly post, it seems like this was unintended for Epics specifically, so a bit of a silver lining I guess?

Appreciating completely everyone’s view on this - going to hijack the top comment here to repost my previous message on this from the megathread to ensure folks have visibility

‘A note on this.

I'm being informed that these Vehicle Customizations are being disabled for new purchases. They were not intended for release in this update and may appear unfinished and carry unexpected issues.

A note on this.

I'm being informed that these Vehicle Customizations are being disabled for new purchases. They were not intended for release in this update and may appear unfinished and carry unexpected issues.

Additionally, they were not intended for purchase using Company Coin.

I'll keep providing what clarification I can throughout the day by editing this comment.

Can someone confirm that this is happening for more people?

We did no changes to Panzerstorm. So if this is an consistent issue, it's not intended.

I hope "General stability" means make game playable again on ps4 pro, after last update I have massive problem with framerate...

I’m hearing good things back from PC players so far, keen to hear from folks on PS4 now the update is slowly working its way out to more people.

Edit: Problem solved with a Repair in Origin.

After update: game won't launch. Screen turns black with the loading icon in the upper right corner of the monitor... but only for a second or so before it just closes down and returns to desktop. Never had that issue before.

Playing on a 2080 Ti with dxr turned on before the update, just in case it could be the ray tracing causing other problems than switching to Firestorm mode.

This is a known issue with this update. Need to turn DXR off, especially for Firestorm.
