That's not exactly what I mean. In the situation that I proposed, I already have gotten (2) tier skip tokens. That means at rank 38, I would have already gotten the rank 39 and and rank 40 reward. So in this situation, another (3rd) tier skip token would grant nothing?

EDIT: What I am trying to suggest is that if the design goal is to add value to the tier skips when they would otherwise be ineffective, then it makes more logical sense for 100 Boins to be granted under the condition that there are no more rewards left to grant and not under the condition that the user is Rank 40. Because of the tier skip system, many users will be out of chapter rewards before they even reach 40.

I believe this is how it works, but I'm checking for accuracy right now. Hang loose. (I personally think it should work that way.)

Working on them. The doc has like 8 pages. I'm condensing it down to the 4 pages (5.0 - 5.2 - 5.2.2 - 6.2) and ensure there are no leaks. Gimme a bit of time. Once I finish it, the weapon's lead will verify and then we'll move forward.

I'll most likely add it to the Community Broadcast and as a link here (as I can't edit PartWelsh's posts).

Added to OP:

  • Tier Skips & Max Chapter Rank
    • If you're Chapter Rank 40, instead of earning a Tier Skip for some of the Weekly Missions, you will receive 100 Battlefield Currency (aka BFC or Boins)

u/Braddock512 Could I get a clarification on the new Tier Unlock/Boin reward system that was announced in your recent tweet?

Hey #BattlefieldV players - are you at rank 40 for the Chapter? If so, when you complete a weekly mission in Tides of War and the weekly reward is a Tier skip, you’ll receive 100 Boins.

Let's supposed that I have already gotten (2) Tier skips - This would mean that I would have all of the chapter rewards by rank 38. In this situation, if I am already rank 38, and I happen to get another Tier skip, does this get me the 100 Boins or would I only qualify for that at Rank 40, resulting in zero reward?

It means that if you are already at Chapter Rank 40 - instead of a Tier Skip (that would not do anything for you),you’ll get 100 Boins.

If you’re 38, and you get a Tier Skip, you’ll go to Rank 39 reward.

Why the f**k would you have a feature that we have been waiting for, be mostly blocked behind a f**king paywall.

All of the items releasing in the Company when 6.2 drops are available with Company Coin. And according to one of the Devs that worked on this feature, much of the Armory rotations will be for Company Coin. It’s not “mostly blocked behind a paywall”.

I've posted this the past three weeks in your "This Week in Battlefield V" threads and have not received a response. I'll try again.

Some questions I'm hoping you'll address for us:

1) A year ago you made a post soliciting feedback on assignments to improve the system. To date, nothing significant has been done to assignments. For example, I made a thread last week expressing my frustration about the fact that bolt action rifles and self-loading rifles have the exact same assignments and a majority of the users that responded said they've been stuck on the same assignment as me (Mastery VI) for months now with self-loading rifles. We also still have to back completely out of the server we're in to change or set new assignments, which is ridiculous. What's going on with this a year after you asked for our feedback?

2) Why does the team stay silent on the cheating problem in Battlefield 5? Are there any plans...

I'll do my best to answer what I can -

  1. Yes, when we first launched BFV, I created multiple threads to grab feedback to share with the Dev team. I sent said feedback on and have continued to ask questions, solicit feedback, and share community pain points regarding the Assignment system. RE: overhauling the system - I don't have any details if/when that would happen.

  2. This isn't something I can address and discuss at this time. I assure you, it is something that is discussed daily - but as far as next steps, plans, etc - I don't have any details I can share publicly.

  3. The team is aware of the ongoing (and frustrating) issues of team balance - especially when half the team quits because they're losing and it turns into a "good ol' stompin'". The team is working to address this - again, it's not something I can share publicly yet.

  4. This has been answered elsewhere, but if you did miss it, this is something PartWelsh and ...

The Tier Skip unlocks the next available tier. It's not something you can choose which tier to unlock. This is something we discussed when we introduced Tier Skips with 6.0 back at the beginning of February.

I'm sorry this has frustrated you.

I believe PartWelsh will be sharing those details with the notes tomorrow.

I'm sure you understand this but I'd love to reiterate it: without TOW progressions, Community Games is dead on arrival. The feature looks extremely promising and will most likely increase BFV's longevity, but without TOW no one will want to use it and all the effort will go to waste.

100% understand and agree.

Any update on community servers? Anything at all? Look forward to better understanding the update. Suggestion: FG42 should be 4-5 with more recoil. Only 20 rounds!!!

Getting info on what's happening next with Community Games is a top priority for PartWelsh and myself. I don't have any details today. As soon as Freeman and/or I get something to share (hopefully shortly), we'll have an update/Community Broadcast with all the details.

Jeff, sorry for bothering you the other day. The problem was in my hard disc, not on EA servers.

Thank you for everything and excited for wednesday! Can't wait to see the changes

Glad to hear you got it figured out. Can’t wait for Thursday myself!

It should also be noted that if past datamines are anything to go by (and the Last Tiger skin), all skins initially didn't had decoupled chassis and turret.

Also, on that note; will the Last Tiger now be split up into 3 items?

Yep.

Some info I got while chatting with a Dev at 3am PST.

The Last Tiger will be split into 3 pieces (mix & match possibilities)

Patrol is default. Factory removes everything.

All Company vehicles will have the Tank Body Customization feature.

Your paint job will be visible under your selected chassis and turret dressings.

Will update the main post when I’m back at work on Monday, but I wanted to share this info real quick because I know these questions have been on folks minds. I am also going to chat with the marketplace team about the prices - but I don’t know if they will be changed.

Also, while you’re at it, changing your tank number would be pretty sweet, but we would get a hell of a lot of 69’s and 420’s

1337 all day. ;)

Thank you, I don't mean to insult you, but I just want the best for the game and it's been quite frustrating. I understand that ultimately you are not the decision maker behind the game, but you certainly have influence, which is why I wonder whether or not you're going to address certain issues since it seems like they're often ignored.

I didn't take it as an insult.

When I'm given the green-light to talk about certain things, I will talk about them.
