Thank you for making that clear.

Thanks for this post. Definitely a lot of great points to think about. I’ll be sharing this with the team today in my “Big Ass Feedback Doc” I’ve been drafting since returning to work on Monday.

Wait did u/braddock512 really mute the word "revert" on twitter...If so, I am just speechless.

The only words I have muted on my personal Twitter (the only twitter account I manage) are #caturday (I’m a dog lover), and some offensive hate speech words. I’m not going to post them, but they have to do with racism and homophobia.

Is there anyway to go back and finish older tides of war challenges, like from week 1 for example? Otherwise I won't have enough XP to get all the skins

Unfortunately, no. If you missed the previous weeks completion, there’s no way to go back and earn that XP.

At the risk of being downvoted - there is the option of tier skips to skip tiers in the Chapter Rewards and unlock those, but nothing for the weekly ones. I’m really sorry, bud.

More than fair and I appreciate your response and that you have said you will follow up. Honestly Its nice because personally I have just gotten frustrated with the constant waiting for answers which we are told will come but dont, again like armory cosmetics being locked behind paywalls that have been stated in materials they would not be and being told after months of asking an answer is still "waiting for info".

I understand that you may have received an answer that needs to remain internal because of the content of it or even the reaction it would generate without a vetting of it first. I hope I haven't seemed rude or anything like that. I just wanted to express my own frustrations and how I am sure others feel and appreciate your response and that you read it.

I totally understand. Thanks for giving me the opportunity. Have a good one!

Heyyy can we put the BAR in the Armory please? I was on vacation that TOW week and it's been a while. THAAAAANKS.

Check your Company. Weapons from TOW end up in the Company, not the Armory. It became available on December 26, I believe.

Is there any guarantee you can offer on either a time frame or by when we can expect a response to our feedback? It seems more often than not you guys pass things along and answers to our issues are promised and they never appear, like answers about the armory which we have been waiting on since months before the break or firestorm and the wall of silence around it. We need some guarantee, because at this point many do not trust you to ever give an answer on this stuff and to just say "I am waiting for more information", which seems to be the only answer you guys give.

I will keep driving for a response, but I can’t guarantee a timeframe (mainly because I don’t want to further set an expectation that I am unable to meet due to circumstances I can’t control). I’ve flagged this post in my bookmarks and will pop back in sometime next week with a status update - this doesn’t guarantee that the feedback will be applied, but I’ll definitely make sure enough people see it. And If I have something to share regarding changes, I’ll make sure to let you know as soon as possible.

Is that fair?

You didn’t get the items mentioned in the description of the Deluxe Edition when you preordered it? The below is what you should’ve gotten with your pre-order Deluxe Edition.

Pre-order Enlister Offer

Early Access to the Battlefield V Beta: Be one of the first to forge the frontlines as you test your playstyle and strategies in an ever-changing World War 2.

Paratrooper Outfit: Once Battlefield V launches, choose one of eight Special Soldier Sets available in the game to customize your troops.

Special Assignments: Earn rewards and get an edge over the competition when you complete Special Assignments.

Immediate Access to Five Battlefield 1 Weapons: Unlock five of the Great War’s most modern weapons for use in Battlefield 1, as you bridge the interwar period on the road to Battlefield V.

Battlefield V Deluxe Edition

Amazing post. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions. Will add this to my large feedback doc I’m sending to the team today.

Hi-Fi Warfare doesn't work. I've been in squads that have launched a total of 2 JB-2's, and 2 artillery strikes, but there is nothing on the progress bar. I reckon if I was the squad leader it would count, so why doesn't it work like it says it should?

I escalated the inconsistent tracking of nodes earlier this week and the team is tracking this via JIRA. I don’t have any update/workaround to share today. I’ll check back on Monday to see what options we have. I understand it’s frustrating and I’m sorry.

And what then? We wasted our money on useless thing, and all you do is removing it from the stores? No doubt, great f**king job.

It was replaced with the Year 2 Edition. If you purchased it prior to the Year 2 Edition release, you should’ve received the content that was mentioned in the description. If you didn’t, you can contact EA Help (as they’ll need to look into your account) to resolve this.

I can't access either right now because I'm at work. I can't remember the last time I looked on either the Xbox or PlayStation store for this game, but the deluxe edition is still available in a lot of other places. I purchased mine from CDKeys. I'm sure you could also purchase the deluxe edition from Amazon. The main issue is that there are statements made within the description of the deluxe edition that now aren't true. For example, the weekly airlifts, I understand that the game's launch is long gone but we should still be able to claim all of that launch content in one go. Especially as it's advertised everywhere saying the same thing. The description needs to be changed so that people don't go buying something they aren't getting their full buck back on. Either that or just completely erase the deluxe edition from existence, or reward the players with something else. Because all the time the deluxe edition is out there people are still gonna be reading the same description, t...

I absolutely agree that if the edition was sunset it should be removed. And I fully agree that if there are still editions out there in retailers like Amazon (just checked, it’s there) or CDKeys, it should still deliver the content that’s mentioned in the description. That’s what I’m looking into right now.

Comment

The Deluxe Edition should have been removed when we launched the Year 2 Edition. It shouldn’t be on the Xbox or PS Marketplaces. Can you PM me here on Reddit so I can look into this for you?

It definitely needs work.

Thanks Mr. Jeff! I see what you mean with with a hardcore mode. I personally have never been too much of a fan of hardcore as those kinds of servers get pretty sweaty pretty fast, cannot speak for anyone else though.

I don't think the balance and damage value's we had in 5.0 were that close to a hardcore experience, due to the map design and gameplay those values made sense. BF has longer sight-lines and engagement distances than most other comparable FPS games, so most weapons being able to compete at a bit of a variety of ranges is almost required. I think these kinds of differences is what draws people into the BF franchise, that large scale combat. With the current balance and damage values you are forced to engage at shorter distances making a lot of guns obsolete on many of the maps, which is never good, infantry players need to be able to have versatility with their weapon of choice. Even if that weapon is meant for a bit of a shorter range engagement, it is nice to ...

I like your suggestion. Added to my feedback doc. Thanks.

u/braddock512 I understand your point about explaining why we should have a revert back to the 5.0 ttk. Here’s my reasoning.

I understand why your dev team increased the ttk as a way to help the more inexperienced players compete against more skilled players. The problem with that is the skilled players are always going to out gun them no matter what. I think increasing the TTK has kinda dumbed down the experience level player should be getting. They only way to adapt to something is to practice and push yourself to get better not handicap less skilled player and cater them.

The old values were also satisfying as well when you actually got kills. Yes sometimes getting kills at range with an smg was a little ridiculous but that’s the nature of the game. It’s a FPS shooter but above all it’s a battlefield game. Battlefield is meant to have long lines of sight and if you run out in the open and get killed without smoke or a group of play...

Thank you for the post. Adding it to my large document I’m sending over to the team tomorrow - verbatim.

Well, you told that other guy in this thread that “valuable feedback” means we gotta explain why we want this reverted, why it sucks, etc.

...like we haven’t done that already with the thousands of posts made on this sub since the update.

There have been some amazingly well-thought out posts - I never denied that nor did I overlook those. They have been shared with the team.

There’s also been an exponentially larger amount of blanket “revert to 5.0” (just that). Some folks have different reasons, as I had explained earlier, on what is not working for them. I was trying to gather specific info on what they dislike (spotting, vehicles, planes, weapons, etc) to help push stronger feedback to the team.

You explicitly claimed there was 'Discussion prior to implementation' and that "We're taking feedback to make adjustments".

The feedback was a wholesale revert. It was the top post as soon as you announced 5.2 It was the top ten posts of the subreddit for nearly every day for the past month. Including in depth discussions. These are posts by different individuals. The feedback already occurred when a surprisingly -better- version of the changes was implemented last year. To the point where you reverted them entirely.

I refuse to believe any data that took an entire year for the development team to come to the conclusion "No the playerbase is wrong again"

One. Whole. Year. And the same changes were made for the same reason. If the data stated that it was right for the players then, you would have kept it, but no, the feedback was there, people hated it. Had someone not made an executive choice of "Screw player feedback, they...

I replied to your specific post because it showed up in my inbox because you tagged me.

And I wasn’t being flippant. If I had legitimately made a blanket statement about the entire community that there has been “no constructive feedback”, I would absolutely deserve to be destroyed.

If I didn't already uninstall the game almost immediately after 5.2, this would have easily been the last straw with the game, and DICE.

"No meaningful feedback" is genuinely insulting, not just to me as a player, but to every single person who posted meaningful advice and critiques of the hastily put together 5.2 Which was put together quickly, like, there's no doubt about that, as different weapons in the same categories had borderline random stats compared to one another.

There were dozens of posts, dozens that bordered on essay length about how 5.2 was miserable, how the game lacked even basic features like autobalance or an anti-cheat that functioned (Seriously, punkbuster actually banned people, even if it was a complete nightmare of a program)

These included statistical breakdowns of how each weapon type was affected, how every playstyle would change, and why this overall turned the sandbox g...

Show me exactly where I said there “has been no meaningful feedback”.

I was specifically talking to ONE person on the Battlefield forums regarding THEIR feedback and the difference between “revert!” and detailed feedback on why someone wanted it reverted.
