Battlefield V Dev Tracker

Not mocap but I love the story of how the audio team made the sound for the V1

Would be worth it for the mocap session.

I think I know the “source” of your information and it’s wholly inaccurate.

No.

Not to say that something hasn't been decided, but before anything can happen we need to do the appropriate scoping and all that type of stuff. Where could we fit it into the schedule, who can we get to work on it, if we move people onto it now, what does that affect etc

Lots of lines moving in parallel and jumping between them can often have knock-ons.

That's a fair argument. I can say the majority of the time these people are already flagged for bans before it's even posted to Reddit. I can also say we've banned 70% more people in BFV then BF1 (time adjusted) on PC so far with zero sign of slowing down.

I know the community wants us to better surface information regarding bans. My hands are somewhat tied on this, but we are looking at the best way of getting this information out which will satisfy all parties, the community included.

I will concede though that I don't think we'll ever reach the point where you the community will be able to make an informed decision on how anti-cheat operates. As such, we'll always be in somewhat of a catch 22 situation here unfortunately.

Hey /u/Telkor - There's really next to no additional info that I'm privy to, or would be in a position to discuss here. I also don't have any new or additional reasons that there's actually anything wrong here.

Sorry if that adds to the frustration. Please understand that we don't talk about who gets banned, and we don't make a point of commenting publicly on these things, nor do we look to do any form of public shaming to state definitively why folks received their bans.

What information we have shared on the topic is available here - ...

Public perception of how our anti-cheat functions and what it actually does will always be two very different things. If you knew how it worked, then so would the cheat developers. Kinda defeats the purpose at that point. :)

There isn't one, because it's not true.

This is 100% false information.

We've never banned solely based on stats or boosting in BFV. Never will either. We learned that lesson a long time ago and will never repeat it.

It's really easy to judge a person based on their stats. The common defense from players is always to post their battlefield tracker page but that never, ever gives the full side of a story. Unfortunately that's something we'll never be able to deep dive into as people will use any information we provide against us. What i will say is that while Fairfight applies the bans, don't for a second think we're not doing any work on the DICE side to catch cheaters.

Just to chime in here, the level cap is something that we are actively discussing.

I have look into that. No promises, but I read this feedback a few times and maybe it's time to up the frequency. :)

Absolutely. Sadly this is only a small snippet of a bigger conversation. I was mainly talking about BF3/4 unlocks and not at all about ranks. Danny turned the conversation towards ranks.

Also as stated before, this is mainly my personal opinion. I have nothing to do with any type of progression (unlocks or ranks) in the game. I know as much about them as you.

Read into this as much as you will. I am a Level Designer and had nothing to do with the rank cap nor do I know why it is at 50 and not 20 or 7000. So just to get your facts right: there is no theory confirmed here since I would even be able to confirm it if I wanted to. Neither does any of what I said bring information to the topic if the rank limit will be raised. For that you need to screenshot conversations from other people.

That trick no longer works every time. It now rarely works.

Sorry, I’m on PTO but here’s what I have: I checked with the team and it looks like they consolidated the data centers in Frankfurt to reduce matchmaking time and increase consistent matchmaking. I’ve already escalated this regarding some comments that ping has been impacted. I won’t know more until everyone is back from work Monday/Tuesday. Sorry I don’t have more info, buddy.

It goes through Cert next week and notes will be finalized. When we have locked a date, I’ll announce it.

I think you’re reading too much into me using the term vanilla. Perhaps core MP would be a better description.

And Ben isn’t taunting anyone. It’s a silly meme on a shirt.

But if that’s how you want to view it, nothing I can say will convince you otherwise. Have a good weekend.

The next game update includes updates for all of Battlefield V - MP ( or as some may call it -vanilla), Combined Arms, and Firestorm.

Forwarded it to the anti-cheat people
