Hey PartWelsh, were you guys watching the queue timers/player counts across solos/squads while duos were active? I loved duos and think Firestorm suits duos better than any other BR game for a combination of balancing, pacing, loot options, and just general feeling. My only concern is if the player count is going to be able to keep the 3 modes populated consistently - Blackout, for example, struggles massively on PC - and if that is the case are there any contingency plans (no need for details if you can't share them right now)?

Edit: Also, shoutout to /r/firestorm for all those enjoying the mode

This is some of the data that will come back to us. It is something the team look at. As to what the answers might be, no clue, but absolutely something that is monitored broadly across all modes, platforms and regions.

Why is there no specific details on grind or even a trailer/ guide

The blog comes out in 103 minutes.

Was it really neccesary to even take it out in the first place?

Sincere question.

Thx btw.

Yes and no.

Yes it was essential. We need to be better at how we introduce new content to make sure that it’s welcome, meeting expectations, and behaving as designed.

No it maybe wasn’t. It was pretty clear just from announce that it was wanted, and even more so throughout the weekend.

To be as sensible as possible, we did need these few days whilst it was out of rotation to assess how valuable it was to fans of Firestorm.

Still some things we can improve on. More to come.

Any plan to fix PS4 graphic pop-ins and extremely pixelated "minecraft" trees? When dropping in on Firestorm, it's exceptionally bad, I won't see buildings and objects til I'm nearly on the ground, so it's hard to see what I'm landing close to. I often don't see other soldiers' parachutes til I'm nearly landing right next to them, which is also a problem if I don't want to get into a fight immediately.

I also have graphic freeze-ups for 1-2 seconds occasionally when a firefight is getting hot, especially if I'm near the ring of fire. If I'm lucky, the freeze-up happens right after I kill the other person, if I'm unlucky, it happens in the middle of the fight which often leaves me dead.

The graphic freezing issue when in a firefight is something the team has mentioned. Let me see what the status is.

The visual texture pop on PS4, can you share a clip so I can see? What version of PS4 are you on?

Sorry I didn’t see that, it was stickies late. But I would appreciate a little earlier. This was my bad though.

All good, bud. When it is posted a little later in the evening, it’s usually due to me rounding up any new information or confirming stuff so I don’t accidentally leak items or mention things that may be slotted for the following week. But I feel ya. I prefer to have it done around 6pm PDT if possible so I can start my evening and play some games, cook dinner, or hang out with my wife and pup.

Is it just me, or does Grind basically sound like another version of squad conquest/ domination?

Squad Conquest was 8v8. This is 32v32. It's got a similar linear setup like some of the maps in BF4 & BF1. Thus the name, Grind.

It wasn't posted late. It was posted on Monday, at around 8PM PDT.
Thanks for your feedback, though.

It’s painful to read that. How do you not know what we would want? This game is a scam.

So, I don't try to assume I know exactly what every person is talking about.
For example, in the above post - when they were referring to updates to Conquest, they could've meant changing spawns, team balance, etc.
I would think you'd rather I ask clarifying questions rather than just assume. But that's just me.

It normally drops the end of the day Pacific Time, so they have extra time to make changes and still drop it on a Monday

Exactly. With a couple big things still TBD, I've been waiting until the end of my day (6PM PDT) to start posting it.
