Battlefield V Dev Tracker

Glad to hear this is being added! I think duos is quite important to have as a permanent game mode for this reason - as a premade squad of two people it takes significantly longer to get into a game of Firestorm squads. Waiting isn't an issue as a solo, a squad of 3, or a squad of 4 (obviously). But as a squad of 2 I would say I'm waiting at least three times as long and on occasion I've just been put into the game as 2 without anyone else joining. I think this could be partly turning people off Firestorm, and the inclusion of duos would fix that.

Interested to see how this mode changes the play and 'meta' of Firestorm!

The reason it’s a limited time only mode is to make sure a large enough number of players try the mode so the devs can capture enough telemetry data (player attrition, loot availability, etc.) to make sure the game is balanced and working as intended. Leaving it open ended, like the other modes, they won’t capture enough data over that longer period of time.

Also, dividing the shrinking player base over another mode is suboptimal.

If you like it, say so in a constructive manner in the appropriate forums. No reason why Duos can’t be a full time mode, if it’s working well and community likes it.

Is DICE aware of the bug that the Devastator torso is not showing on female models?

Or are we all individually supposed to contact EA support? I heard it can be fixed by talking to support.

I'm on PS4, I have all my vehicle controls set to custom rather than standard/veteran etc. which by the way is a brilliant feature, big thanks to the team for adding a custom mapping option, it's wonderful! Unfortunately in Firestorm whenever I jump into a tank it doesn't use those controls. I noticed it first jumping into a Sturmtiger, I pulled the right trigger to start accelerating and shot the big gun, got very confused thinking I wasn't driving then pushed forwards on the stick for it to lurch forwards so it seems like it is using the default control scheme for some reason. Thanks for replying :) loving the game btw!

May we have more options to level up in ToW outside of FS, please?

Yay! Excited for this as I am finding it rare to be on Firestorm with more than just the one friend and matchmaking two people in squads takes so long we just go in as the two of us. Hoping it is a permanent addition as I am sure it'll be just as much fun as the other two modes. Now I just need you to fix the vehicle controls ignoring my settings :( the rubbish normal controls keep getting me blown up!

Let me guess, that will also be 50% of the Tides of War as well?

For 4 days, ok, makes sense. But if we are happy with how duos work, please make it permanent! And fast, don’t wait like another month . 🤞

Any chance to be a permanent mode? u/partwelsh

I wish the specializations changed the visuals of the gun a bit. If you specced it for hipfire maybe it would lose the stock or change it. If you specced it for recoil control it would add a forgrip of sorts. Would be cool but doesn't take anything away from the game for me.

I've had battlefield v for a week and everyday I try play firestorm it says I have a 5 min wait time and once the timer reaches it it says it can't find a match I just want to play one game to see what it's like.....

There are still a few populated servers. I boot it up every now and then when I feel like fighting through Monte Cassino again. I'm sure you can find legal copies still floating around. After installing through patch 1.61b (or whatever the last official one was), there is a community-made patch somewhere that gets the game (mostly) running on Windows 10 as well as merges the Origin and hard copy clients so that they can play on the same servers.

Alright, I'll take a look in a sec. Thanks man.

Edit: Yup, I see it now. Big thanks for all the behind the scenes work you put into this.

Frustration is right. Although, seems like par for the course in my experience trying to get this resolved. At least you were under the assumption that it could be added to the account. EA Advisors in the past always just told me they had no power to add any items to player accounts, except for that one guy I talked to the other night.

I feel bad for the other thousands of players that were effected by this and have tried to get it resolved via EA support. Anyways, guess I'll continue to wait and will check in tomorrow, again. Thanks again though, I really do appreciate what you've done so far.
