Thanks. I don’t know. I’ve reached out to Florian to get more info.

I know it doesn't belong here, but I've been asking myself this question a lot lately.

What does the next battlefield look like in the modern war or something in the past?

Let's just focus on this one and getting it to a place where we're all playing and having fun and enjoying new content.

u/Braddock512 In one of the podcasts where it was told about the boxes of ammunition, the video could be seen as the drawer closes when choosing the package. But after a major patch this is not? Has it been cancelled or will it be in the next major update?

Which Dev Talk? Link, please.

What did you do to get a foot in the door? I'm a modest man and looking for a career change. I dont know if I want to be a code junkie, what other avenues do you know of to earn a decent paycheque in the industry?

I started off by answering phones for EA Help in 2010. Moved up quickly. Within 7 months I was Lead forum Admin. Then worked on social channels for 3 years. Then as NA CM for the last 4.

BS. anything valid that you don't want to hear or want it to become a community wide complaint you label "non-constructive" and ban. don't try to sugarcoat it by lying.

Okay then. I won’t waste your time or mine with this. Have a great day.

I absolutely agree, which is why I’ve never banned anyone for their opinion. If they violate the forum rules, there’s consequences that are enforced by the forum mod team.

I don't know how I hadn't noticed this before, but are you from Austin? Also, thanks for doing what you do. I would imagine that it's a tough job, but also hopefully fun and fulfilling at times to be close to the community.

I grew up south of Houston, then moved to Austin in 2005, where I met my wife and started working in the games industry. Moved to LA a little over 2 yrs ago.

It’s not the easiest job, and there are times when it is frustrating, but that’s mainly because I’m a gamer above anything and it hurts me to see the community in such disarray due to game issues. But overall, I love this job and community.

Yes, as of now bugs and performance are the right thing to concentrate on but after it's fixed, clearly a big part of the community wants to at least not be forced to play as characters they don't want to play as.

I got a really big reply from a couple of the Devs. Let me read through it a few times and see if I can share it today.

Couldn't you guys, "Switch off" the armor/items that cause the video glitch, at least temporarily?

I wish it were that simple. As noted below, it’s not a specific skin. It has to do with the rendering stream the engine uses. But the team has made some significant progress. I’m keeping a close watch over that particular Slack room so I can update y’all when we have a confirmed fix.

I dont if yall noticed yet but the weekly ToW experience does not match. My last challenge unlocked by itself. So i lost out on 25k experiences towards the chapter ranks. Hopefully u read this so it can get fixed soon. Thanks

I sent this to the team last night. Haven’t seen if there has been an update on it. It’s 6am here in LA, so let me get some coffee and wake up and I’ll check if there is an update.

I have been. I can’t possibly answer every single post, but I have responded to many posts here. I’m not responding to some that are the same question I’ve responded to, and in the OP I literally call out the top issues.

I just want to know that there’s still hope for this game. That there is enough manpower available to get this shit sorted out, or that DICE/EA will divert more resources at least until the game is in an acceptable state (bugs and content-wise) if there aren’t enough people currently working on this. Doubt I’ll get a response on this, as I fear the answer is that this game has largely been abandoned and obviously they aren’t just going to outright say as much, but on the off chance that isn’t the case, we need to hear it now more than ever. This game has too much potential to go out like this.

The game hasn’t been abandoned. Our teams are dedicated to fixing issues to get the game in a great state so as we release new content, everyone can enjoy it.

So every update / hotfixes has the potential of "Fix Failed". How is DICE going about reducing these? Because it looks like this is a main root of problems recently.

Well, if 50 (for example) QA test it 200 times each, it’s 1000 tests. (Again, I’m not QA and these numbers are just placeholder examples.)

And the team is focused on preventing these kinds of things after the big “oof” of Ch 4.

We have a main game update coming up (potentially next week) that fixes this issue. Just saw it in the Update Notes we're finalizing.

I call it TWiB internally. So go for it.

I don't understand this. You tested it and found out that it failed but released it anyway? Can you expand on how testing goes and use this hotfix as a example?

Well, I am not QA, so I don't have full insight into how they test. But I can discuss what happens with a "Fix Failed" situation.
If a fix is pushed out, it is tested by the QA team. Keep in mind, the team isn't hundreds of thousands of players or even hundreds of players.They test the update/hotfix and look for reproducible bugs to track. If a tracked bug isn't not reproducing after multiple tests, they consider the bug "Fixed". However, once it rolls out to the masses, the potential for an issue increases exponentially.
(I hate math, but here's some statistical stuff)
If a bug has a 1/1000 chance of occurring, when they test for the bug, they'd test it (for example) 200 times each. If it doesn't reoccur, it's considered fixed. However, once you get a massive population of players at once playing, the likelihood of the bug to show up may increase. That's what happened here. Not everyone on Xbox One is crashing, but due to the volume of players who are experiencing t...

Perhaps. And most definitely that should be top priority. Im just, well flat out pissed they advertise this game as everyone's battlefield and being able to choose how you customize your character, but lock it as a certain way. Just dosent sit well with me.

As u/b0sk1 mentioned, I was referring to fixing the game being more important than focusing on pilot/tanker customization. I wasn't in any way trying to insult or denigrate your position on this customization feature request.

And when we get into a much more solid state with the game - more bugs fixed than created, more stability, smoother sailing - I will revisit the pilot/tanker customization discussion with the Dev team. I know it's a big item for a portion of the community, and I know some don't care.
