/u/braddock512 /u/PartWelsh hey guys, sorry if I missed that comment by you but does Provance and Lofoten even considered to "grow" into bigger maps for Conquest and Breakthrough? I feel like a lot of players concerned about it and we all understand that it's not going to happen right now but I'm curious if it is discussed internally between devs. So it's more like if it is possible in the future or those two maps are just scrapped from 5v5 and we are done here?

And thanks for all your work. You really do a lot.

P.S. side question: any news on assignments overhaul?

Feedback we've already received about the map echoes your thoughts. And it's already been shared with the Devs.

Its Literally ALL THEY DO. Community Manager - Manage the f**kin community mate.

Have literally stated the status of Al-Sundan last week. There's no new update. When there is anything new to share on the status of the map, it will be shared.

Hey Jeff, just touching base again. Were you able to get that sitdown on Monday with the devs to talk about Firestorm updates?

Thanks.

I haven’t gotten an update yet on an ETA, but I have been asking. I’m sorry. It sucks not having the info you’re looking for right this second.

What do you mean not 100% sure what we’re looking for? We’ve had an inaccessible pilots mask in the game since launch and you’ve been asked probably 1,000,000 times when we’ll be able to change our gender. It’s been a year man.

That’s not what I said. Please re-read my reply. I know what you’re looking for. What is coming in the next update is not 100% what you’re asking for.. yet.

Would be nice to see if you put together something that for up coming stuff. Game changer seems to target people with a large following or active in other EA/DICE titles and its currently in Alpha so people like me who ranted to many times have no chance of getting in.

Do you think its a idea to put together some sort of contest(?) Where a selected number of users from around the community hotspots can be put into these focus groups. Maybe make a thing of it ( could turn into a interesting documentary ) etc. Am not saying right away! But maybe a future project. Just me spitballing am sure you got better ideas in the pipe line.

Again thanks for the insight and replys.

To clarify, we don’t target folks that have big channels to join the program. We have tons of folks who just do feedback sessions, from leaders within their own communities. And some of those big YouTubers - they grew, in part, from joining the program when they weren’t big but created that relationship with us where they did get opportunities to get access to early content that helped grow their channels. (Obviously, they put in the work to build their brand and create the content.) And some folks “graduate” from Game Changers when they get so big that they don’t have time for feedback sessions where content isn’t captured. We try to diversify the program by getting folks from all walks of life, all countries, etc. and all sizes of channels (or no channels).

Absolutely. One thing to consider is the level of trust we have to put into those that attend. This is why we created the Game Changer program. To cultivate this relationships so when we do talk about things - like the next BF or reveal, etc - we can be assured it’s not going to be leaked everywhere. By developing that trust, we have more opportunities for feedback sessions, early capture opportunities, etc.

Ok thanks for the reply. Interesting that 10-15 people have the power outside of the company and creative within. I love to see a list maybe of old battlefields things that were removed or changed based on these talks but I dont think that will happen.

Thanks again.

They don’t make the decisions. We take their feedback, the feedback that we continually gather from the community, the analytics from play sessions, community surveys, etc. That is how the team bases their decisions.

And we rotate the attendees based on what we’re focusing on - so it’s not the same folks every time.

Will the ability to change assignments while in a match without quiting to the main menu also being looked into?

It is being looked into, but I don’t have an update on the status. There’s a lot of Quality of Life Requests the team is looking at, but their focus right now is correcting the issues that came up with 4.0 and getting the game into a solid, stable place again.

Can I ask why? Am curious that all.

Because we talk about stuff months away to get a check on the direction we’re going. Getting a room of 10-15 folks from various disciplines to chat constructively - positive and negative - is the purpose of these sessions, which we have throughout the year. We can also explain certain decisions and see how the reaction is and change course of necessary. And some things we talk about may/may not make it into the game.

We take notes, but feedback sessions are not publicly shared. There is no NDA expiration.

They are looking at them - specifically the Mastery ones that are creating a lot of frustration in the community due their insane level of difficulty and/or reliance on specific situations that are totally random (aka "luck"). The feedback y'all have shared has been echoed by members of the team. I don't have any updates/changes to share yet.

Then why is it featured in TWIB? Kinda misleading

It’s just a notification of the Gamescom Opening Night press conference for those that are interested.

You won’t see Pacific stuff just yet. As we get closer to launch of Chapter 5, we’ll have a lot of info come out about The Pacific.

Thanks for the weekly post as usual. Are there any updates on the Skins from last week for the Armory update?

The Bergsteiger should be in this week’s rotation. I haven’t seen any news that it’s been blocked.
