I've been lvl40 for a couple of weeks now. Wanna know if it's worth trying to 100% the remaining ToW challenges.

Chapter XP doesn’t carry over from Chapter to Chapter.

Grab the Italian SMG for Medics - the MAB38 - and rank up your ToW Chapter 3 XP before it ends.

Let’s look at the tasks. Remember that the exact mission requirements can be found in game in the Tides of War menu.

(Unless specifically noted, you can complete each node in regular Battlefield V multiplayer.)

OUTPOST - 4,500 Chapter XP

(Outpost) Play a round of Outpost.

Outpost is a race to construct and defend radio tower objectives in order to acquire the assigned number of recruits.

(OPTIONAL) HEADS UP - 10,000 Chapter XP

(Firestorm) Kill 1 enemy using a V1 or Art...

I also posted about it at the Answere HQ but got nothing so far...

I summon thee /u/Braddock512 , please forward this to the team.

On it.

Braddock, I asked the question earlier just to get a rough idea of when to expect something and if the devs are also aware of the FPS issues since there were some talks about the stuttering / lag when killing players and that's not the only issue - the overall FPS is much lower. Anyway, you're doing a good job as CM and you answer our questions quite often, don't worry about it. We know you're not the guy fixing the actual game. You don't need to explain yourself to others. I know some people (including me) push hard sometimes but it's only because we want the devs to focus on the important issues and this subreddit is full of some garbage memes upvoted to the top instead of important game issues. The amount of karma farming people these days in every subreddit is ridiculous (like their lives depend on it)

Since you wanted some specific locations that are problematic:

  • Grand Ops Rotterdam (Airborne) at B area (up and below the train) the game doesn't feel very ...

Added to the list! Just to make sure they're tracking these items as well. Thanks, bud!

the ingame loadout description claims the bomber comes with 8x 250kg bombs, yet ingame since being released it only has 2, i made a post commenting on this a few weeks ago but i could never get a response: https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/bu0rsh/why_is_the_ju88c_listed_as_having_8_250kg_bombs/

could you or one of the other devs comment on this, is the description wrong or is the bomber supposed to have 8 bombs?

Shared with the team right now. Will let you know if I hear anything back.

Yes. I've shared this with the Dev teams a few times. No update. I'll add it again to my reports.

Can I complete Tides of War challenges on campaign? I can’t get a single fire kill no matter what I try. I’ve equipped incendiaries on all classes and I’ve snuck up on campers and doused them in it while shooting at them and I can’t get a single kill with it.

Something that I do is look for people hiding, toss an incendiary near them, then fire my gun the opposite direction to force them into the fire.

But no, you can’t complete ToW via War Stories.

  • Endless bleedout is the worst and most common, and is literally gamebreaking. Can't respawn or be revived after going down. Have to quit the server entirely.

  • Framerate tanks near other players every now and again, making combat patchy and frustrating. This has been reported across all platforms.

  • Reviving often fails to start on even slightly rough terrain even with the button prompt visible, leading to some frustrating deaths when trying to revive under fire.

  • The damage indicator is so utterly broken now, it seems to show false damage dealt more often than correctly. Barely scratching someone with a grenade will show 90+ or even 120+ damage, so you go in to finish them off and it turns out they're still near enough at full health. This is extremely common and a major regular issue.

  • The commorose has been broken since launch, and will fail to follow the mouse cursor correctly, often leading to the game dropping...

These are all in my top list of issues. Thank you very much for clarifying.

  • The bleedout issue - we thought it was fixed, but it seems to have returned or was "fix failed".
  • Framerate stuff is the top priority, and the Dev team thinks it may have to do with stats/assignment tracking. We're still working on that.
  • I HATE THE REVIVE ISSUE! I usually end up getting shot because I can't "properly" center on the downed player and press E before it gets wonky. Totally feel you there.
  • Damage indicator is visual, but as this game relies on those visuals to inform you on how to next engage, it is very very frustrating.
  • Comma Rose issues - I've personally noticed an increase in the inability to launch the V1 and vehicle drops since the last two updates on all platforms (I play PC, PS4, and Xbox One).

In fact, I'm pushing to get an update on these 5 particular issues THIS WEEK to update the QoL. (And I'm hoping to see thes...

Not being funny mate, but claiming this after saying:

I know it’s frustrating, but the game isn’t “completely unplayable”

...doesn't exactly feel sincere. Responding to reports of major game ruining performance issues and bugs with essentially "nuh-uh" is just asking for criticism. My issues have even been as bad as many others, but I've still had to flat-out quit matches due to game breaking bugs.

DICE really doesn't help themselves sometimes.

So, instead of dissecting my every comment, how about you share some of the issues? If not, I'll move on. I wouldn't want to waste anymore of your time and, as I said, I'm not going to continue arguing with you. We can work together by you providing details, as I've requested, or not.

Can you share some details on your PC build? Processor, RAM, GPU, etc.?

I literally just answered your question. I’m not avoiding it. Jeez.

What? You replied to two of my comments at the same time, it’s not like you responded and then I said you were ignoring us. Do you not understand how Reddit works?

But the game isn’t “completely unplayable”.

I’m sorry buddy, but yes it bloody is. Across all platforms people are reporting severe performance problems, to the point that combat is unplayable due to micro stuttering and plummeting frame rates, plus more bugs than anyone can count - a few of which are game ruining or even game breaking.

You are really not in a position to get snippy or frustrated with your customers here. Just because some future content has been announced, it doesn’t mean the game isn’t still in a subpar state right now.

You stated “he’s avoiding it, as usual”. I do my best to answer concerns as soon as possible. The fun part (/s) is when I answer with the info I have and folks downvote it because it’s not the answer they want. And if I don’t have an answer immediately, insults are lobbed. That is my issue with the statement. And you replied to your own comment with “nm”. Please note the time. I live in LA. There’s a time difference if you’re in the UK (I’m just guessing by some of the words you use. Apologies if I’m wrong about the location). Even your second post was 1am my time.

And I have a problem with you being unable to play the game the way it should be and with your frustration because my goal, my job, my passion is to have a community that is engaged and having fun. When bugs/issues prevent that, it’s just as frustrating for me as it is you.

Now, one thing that can help me get more info to the devs is the details in comments that y’all provide.

Not super helpful:...

TBF to that guy, the original question was asked 14 hours ago and his was 7 hours ago. It's completely understandable that you're not on here 24/7 to answer everything, but it did look a bit weird that you answered the issue about the YouTube link pretty quickly but didn't drop a line about the issues still being worked on until now. I think that's where the frustration came from.

Regardless, thanks for the update, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

That is fair. 14 hrs ago was 6:30pm, so I may have missed it when I was working to get the video fixed. And I try to get done around 6:30-7pm daily or I will find myself non-stop replying up to midnight.

Hey u/Braddock512,

One last question, any place we get one of those sick T-Shirts you were wearing in your On The Battlefield video? Looks like an awesome Battlefield V Shirt! Loved this format for a Dev talk video by the way. Very real and natural!

Those are sold in the internal DICE LA store. Even the folks at Stockholm don’t have them (they have a different shirt). Let me see if I can get a budget to buy some for giveaways.

(I miss the old public DICE Store.)

Is the team aware of the see through wall bug on Devastation?

Got a video? I can forward it on.

It’s a top priority and mentioned in the Quality of Life Tracker.

It would be nice to get an update though

If I had an update, I would’ve posted it. Im checking JIRAs and the Confluence pages today to see where they’re at in getting this locked down. As mentioned by the person you’re responding to, it is a top priority.

And I know how y’all love “we’re working on it”, so not sure what I can say.

BFV is basically completely broken, borderline unplayable for some people right now. Braddock is very obviously avoiding questions about it, as usual...

I literally just answered your question. I’m not avoiding it. Jeez. (This isn’t the only place that I answer things, so I can’t answer every single comment immediately.)

I don’t have an update yet because they are working on it. When I get the notes for the next update (coming at the end of this month), I’ll have more details.

I know it’s frustrating, but the game isn’t “completely unplayable”. It definitely needs some attention to the performance issues - and it is frustrating and impacting the playability- and that IS a priority with the Devs.

And about the game-breaking performance issues?

The team is working on performance issues, especially the stuttering.

Let me check on the date, but I believe it will be bundled with the base game update. I’ll try to get that info today.
