Despite every other game in the franchise having it? Classic.
Would you want the RSP from BF1 - and have to pay for it? As I recall, the community got pretty upset with the lack of features and tools in RSP, and the lack of scaling server size/cost.
This offers many more features at its launch and is free. And we'll be adding more features, more tools - and we're creating a whole management portal so you don't have to do it in-game.
Wait I'm confused. What server features are going to cost money?
I'm not sure what's confusing. The post lists out all the features that will be in the first phase - the base offering - which is free. We'll be gathering feedback from the community over the summer for additional phases - we haven't even discussed publicly what the next phase of features will be, so any Premium tier is a bit of a ways off.
So does this mean that you will be able to do cross platform?
No, where would you get that from in the post? It doesn't have anything to do with cross-platform.
I’d love to be exited, but it took 6 months to just get a confirmation that its coming. Now, all we know is that it will be released “after summer” and that “base tools” will be free. Vague marketing isn’t good, i have no expectations.
Also more maps please.
Well, according to the post, you know that the base offering (which is all the features that are listed as bullets) will be available to all Battlefield V players after summer and will be free. It also states we'll be giving regular updates over the summer with more information and will be gathering feedback from the community on what other features to add to the service.
And a new map is coming this month. We've stated that on March 27th.
I thought the Boys was next?
You can see upcoming ToW Storylines in-game.
I dont think I've seen the fire axe from week 2 though.
I believe melee weapons are the only ones not available. I think one of the devs mentioned it will be a featured item in the Armory at a later date.
Why wasn't this in the game at launch?
Because it wasn't ready.
Are there any chances we can get some sort of "hub" for presets? This way you can look for presets, share them and all that fun stuff that would make it easier for people to start their free server and maybe end up getting the paid tier :)
That's a very popular request. Added to my list!
We’ll be following up with further updates, such as creating and managing lists of moderators, VIPs, and banned players, and more.
This sounds like BF4's servers, but the server goes away if nobody is in it. I'm curious how this will work. Does the server really go away? Do you create a server profile with a list of admins, VIPs, and banned list that stays saved and is activated every time you spin it up? It also sounds like the server "owner" must be online to start the server initially. Would it be possible to have admins or people that are "subscribed" to your server spin it up? Can people favorite your server? /u/Braddock512
If no one is on it - the server goes away.
However, you'll be able to save configurations - maps, modes, rotations, special gameplay customizations, and (when released) I'm assuming VIPS, mods, ban lists - to a file on your profile that you can then "quick apply" when you start up a new server.
100% will buy a 24/7 Arras Frontlines/Conquest server if the price is right and the admin tools are as indepth as this post claims. Either way I'm so glad that Dice has finally realised that RSP, even if a large number of players don't realise it's value, realise that it is the sole reason games like BF3 and 4 still to this day have decent player numbers.
You will NOT buy it. ;)
It'll be free, as the post says.
Great announcement. Will you be making any announcements regarding firestorm generally and the issues with matchmaking in regions (AU) ? You’ve been very quiet in response to what appears to be an overwhelming backlash on most social platforms. I’ve posted a dozen times, to you 4-5 times, with no response. This community engagement is so important but vital when it’s negative issues that need responses. Please provide some commentary that’s all the community is looking for.
I've posted quite a few times in other threads that the matchmaking issues affecting Firestorm and the proliferation of modes impacting the lower-population in some regions.
We have a few plans in the pipeline to alleviate some of this and reduce "spread". We'll have some more details next week.
I mean you kind of Tom Holland'd it right here lol.
*wink*
I know. Shhhh.
Wow free private games! Just like CoD2 had in 2005!
Are they still 12v12? And are all the features above available? Is it P2P connection or hosted by Activision?
I haven't played COD in a while (not being snarky - I bought the last COD because of the Zombies and Blackout).
OOoooooh my god you're so right. Assignments can be done on private games /u/Braddock512 ?
Yeah. As long as it's not password protected/unranked - or otherwise restricted - Assignments/XP/etc. will work just like non-Private Games.
As is tradition
And you'll have the option to report the server/admin. We don't want badmins.
Is there something expected for the bug of the M28 con Tromboncino? For the missions and for levels skins?
The team is working on it. It's a known issue. As soon as I have an update on the status, I promise I'll make sure it's in an announcement.
Really? I seriously had no idea! I'll check it out tonight! I guess with all the talk here I've mostly just been playing a night or two a week with friends for a few hours total and never even bothered to look into weapons for purchase.
Thanks!
Check under your Company. Any that you’ve missed should be available for purchase with Company Coin.
so for those of us without a ton of time to play: Will there ever be a way to purchase these weapons with CC or Boins?
Sincerely,
Guy with 2 kids under 4
Weapons become available for purchase via Company Coin after the Weekly Storyline ends.
Can I ask a question about Private Servers here?
/u/braddock512 : We had an discussion about assigments month ago. Is there any conclusions, any decision to make it easier?
Hey Punkstyler - I've had some discussions but nothing to share at this time. Some of the challenges of the Assignments are meant to be hard. That being said, we also don't want you to have to rely on luck.
