Soo the daily log in is for company coin, what's with the Valentine stuff then? Can we expect more stuff like that?

I believe there's another skin drop coming up.

And chance on providing some insight about CGS with more admin control to make a hardcore setting for those that want to play it?

Freeman and I are working with the team that's focused on Community Games to get a timeline and details on the rollout of more features. I don't have that level of detail TODAY, but it's something I'm asking about daily/weekly so we can share those plans with y'all. As soon as we have something concrete that we've locked into, we'll share those details via a Community Broadcast.

u/PartWelsh u/Braddock512 Care to comment?

I’m guessing that around that time population drops therefore servers are refreshed back into the pool until more folks matchmake.

This is to help keep servers that are running full, rather than a 64p server having 12 folks in it.

Guys, some progression unlocks for my characters remain locked even though i have passed the required level. How to fix it?

The team at EA Help should be able to verify and assist with those unlocks.

So I can escalate this internally, can you provide some examples of what’s missing?

Sorry, i don't understand this stamement. There already were XP Boosts you could buy with Boins in BF5. (source: i bought them)

Chapter XP boosts - not Soldier XP. The Chapter XP Boost just helps you earn more Chapter XP, but it doesn't rank up your soldier like previous titles.

That's where the issue is. I have escalated this to various teams and they're looking at the amount of dev work needed and timeline to see what can be done. When I have an update, I'll share it.

The tech isn't there? You get XP bonuses in booster packs.

Just be honest and say it is a decision made by the accountants.

You get Chapter XP boosts in the Booster Packs. It doesn't boost Soldier XP.

That's where the issue is. I have been chatting with the team since Monday regarding what work needs to be done to make it in the game - there is some dev work needed, so when I have an update on the status, I'll let y'all know.

But...the tech is there. You literally sell an XP booster. You take the 20% XP that people would buy, change it to 50% or 100% (if we're really doing double XP) and you apply it to all players.

I'm not trying to shoot the messenger here, but that reasoning is completely false and a flat out lie.

Worst case is you put an announcement on the first page (which has been done before) that we can go 'buy' (make it 1CC or something if it HAS to cost something) this booster.

EDIT: If the current booster is only applicable to ToW rewards, fine, apply it towards that then. Little late in the Chapter for it to do anything, but at least we could get some boins out of it? That would be better than nothing

The 20% XP booster that's bundled in the Chapter Pack is for Chapter XP. It would actually require dev work to have an XP boost for Soldier XP - it's not a simple variable swap. And we'd also have to have it tested on INT and PROD to ensure it works. It's not a quick "flip switch".

That being said, I've escalated the feedback from the community as I agree it's something we should be doing for the players - especially right now.

Hey u/Braddock512, thanks for the update! I was wondering if the uniform change will also take into account the texture of the clothing, as I found it to look quite more like a woven cloth than the wool that was actually used. Although I don't know a lot about these uniforms on a more technical level, I've noticed from photos that the real uniforms are much smoother than in game, and I think it hurts the overall "believably" of the outfits.

To illustrate this, I created a short Imgur album comparing this detail in material. I'd appreciate it if you could take a quick look, thanks!

Cool. Thanks. I’ll share that with the team.

When you say, “it doesn’t work for BFV” what do you mean specifically? Like the technology isn’t there to make it work or that DICE doesn’t want it to work that way?

From what I’ve been told, the tech isn’t there for it. They’re looking at options, but I don’t have any further details yet.

That's a good point. I personally think a good solution would be to add Outpost, Grind, Rush & Frontlines to the game for the remainder of Chapter 6. That won't take any effort from developers but will keep players happy & content will feel fresh.

u/Braddock512 is this possible?

You’re gonna hate this answer, and I’m sorry: The UI is limited by the number of playlists that can be in the UI. Therefore, if we added those 4 modes, we’d have to remove 4 things - and honestly, the team isn’t moving in that direction. Check my above reply on more playlists - it’s definitely something we’re exploring.

The team is working on it - we had something planned for last week but after testing the user flow, it didn’t work correctly (meaning you couldn’t tell if you got the thing or not). There’s talks going on about more playlists, login rewards - but we want it to work.

As soon as it’s locked, tested, and tested again and ready to roll, we’ll let you know. I definitely understand what you mean and totally agree.

Re: 2XP, it just doesn’t work for BFV (even though we had it for the last 4 BF games). If that changes, I’m one of the first folks to say “Let’s have some crazy XP boost.” I mean, we do have 500 ranks, right?

It’s based on legal restrictions from those countries, such as prize amounts, etc. Where are you from?

/u/Braddock512 can we take the fact that the next ToW week is locked as hope we still might get an update dropped next week, or has it been confirmed pushed back?

The is no update next week, unfortunately.

Have there been recent discussions about this? Since this is something that people have been requesting since the game's release, were these discussions earlier or more recent and relevant? Sorry for pestering, but I'm just a bit curious.

There have been discussions on and off for months. These recent discussions had more direction, but nothing locked ... just yet.

I’ll check and push to have it stick around for a while. Will let you know what they say.

Just confirmed with the team that the intention is to have it "evergreen", meaning it will stick around. And they're going to add more.

Hi Braddock, Are there any plans to revise the colours used for the British and Germans? They all look very washed out to me, and I think it's really just a matter of making them a bit more vivid. Would perhaps also help with the troop identification.

No details I can share today, but there have been discussions about this internally. When we do have some info to share - one way or the other - we'll let you know.
