They're not going to do it. They made it clear their minds aren't going to be changed and basically told us to f**k off. I want them locked too, but I learned to just stop asking.

If people really don't like seeing Misaki on European maps, or German elites in the Pacific, then I can really only make two suggestions:

  • The passive approach: If they're in your squad, then politely ask them to switch to a faction accurate elite or normal solider. If they refuse, then kick them.

  • The zero tolerance approach: Do not let them in your squad, do not give them ammo, do not heal/revive them. Get the point across that they're butchering the immersion and need to switch their character or leave the game.

Is the second suggestion toxic as f**k? Absolutely. It's basically griefing and in any other game, I would never condone that kind of behavior. But seeing as just how many people are complaining about seeing Misaki and the other elites...

Just a heads-up.The second option is actually a violation of the Terms of Service regarding harassment, griefing, and abuse of other players. (And we have a zero tolerance policy on that. I'm not trying to threaten you or whatever. Just giving you a heads-up.)

Now, if you feel it's so terrible, you can create a solo squad or only squad with your friends who feel like you. Alternately, create a Custom Game and when you tell people about it, let them know that they will be expected to use "appropriate" customization/Elites based on your map choices. But to ...

To be super clear - the best way to ever report incidents is via this link below.

Our team are able to investigate and action faster when you report directly via the systems that we have in place to manage these things.

We always have the facility to do entirely manual investigation, but if we have it direct from a player, in relation to an incident that you've encountered with another player, our systems allow us to properly match and present this to us so that it can be ...

ICYMI - https://twitter.com/PartWelsh/status/1270648083836272646

This is last weeks cancelled mission, reactivated for 24 hours. Tomorrow, the new mission will start, and new missions will continue to run Thursday - Thursday as normal from that point.

We were able to complete our repair work earlier than expected following discovery of the issue last week and so given the option, we elected to activate the remainder of the mission today in case folks want a chance to earn a few extra coins or swing for the Boins

Hi u/Braddock512 You previously asked for my platform for BF1 and I have been trying to get you unsuccessfully.

I am ok if there isn’t any for me because it is definitely your decision to make. Just wanted at least a response cause I am seeing you replying others. I have been polite and appreciative in all my replies so I am not sure if I have been ignored and if so why.

Thank you.

I’m sorry of I missed you message. I’ll check the history and send you a code next week.

Hey u/Braddock512 and u/PartWelsh this has been happening for the last several days on PC, and multiple people have been saying it has been happening to them. This is concerning as while they haven't been saying anything very vulgar, they could type anything and get us falsely reported.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I don’t think they permanently removed the UK from these maps. I think the Allied factions are on a rotation. Sometimes it’s UK, other times it’s US.

We set up 2 new Conquest playlists that support this but needed to revert them whilst we fixed some localisation issues and string text display problems.

In its place, we put the original CQ rotation which still has commands to execute the old setups - we'll update it to fix it next week.

u/Braddock512 Will there possibly be any more opportunities/contests to win a BFV art book?

I've held off on the competitions/giveaways for now because it is sometimes difficult to get approval to go to the office - they are all closed and we're working from home. I am still working on getting a time to head down to the LA office to ship out the last contest prizes.

But I do have plans to have some more giveaways/contests in the coming months and will definitely let everyone know ahead of time. (I have a ton of books left, so I want to get them into people's hands.)

u/PartWelsh u/Braddock512 I came across the strange bug earlier today. I believe my squadmate who was near the German spawn got killed by the Calliope and somehow I had to die too. As you can see the vehicle is unharmed and my other squad mate was not affected.

(I don’t have Twitter to report it to Jaqub, so I’m posting it here)

Edit: removed some strange autocorrect.

Did you happen to get a recording? If not, that's okay. What platform are you on?

It's a bug. We need to investigate the cause and remove it.

Thank you for your clear communication. This was a very informative read.

I do have a single question: can we get a official playlist of the two new maps on Breakthrough?

Something like:

- Provence Breakthrough

- Al Marj Breakthrough

- Provence Conquest

- Al Marj Conquest

Could also be an option.

Thanks.

Not this week. Next week we'll have a pure Al Marj playlist, CQ, and BT.

That's bizzare. I'll send it through to be looked into.

I'm a huge fan of it too. I genuinely believe it has a place in all of Battlefield, and I'm personally (as a fan) in favor of seeing it further blended into Conquest (e.g. on a 5 flag setup, have that key anchor flag as an outpost?)

I'm a terrible game designer (meaning, totally not a game designer) so never listen to my ideas. Every game would be full of Space Ships and Cats otherwise.
