But it impacts a large portion of others.
I can’t speak for everyone. I was asked MY opinion.
But it impacts a large portion of others.
I can’t speak for everyone. I was asked MY opinion.
But in your opinion is this a good decision? Don’t you think that it ruins immersion?
My opinion is irrelevant.
At the end of the day, I just care about having fun. What someone is wearing doesn’t impact my enjoyment.
any news on RSP? Is there still a post coming?
I’ll have some info Monday about Private Games. (Sneak peak - we’re renaming it to focus on the community.)
Also if I am playing as a brit why cant i play with Ilse? I know you will say; two different factions! The japanese and the germans are also DIFFERENT!!!!!!
Japan and German were on the same side, though. So that’s the key difference and what exposes the flaw in your argument.
Look, I’m not saying you’re right or wrong. And I respect your opinion on this topic - it’s obviously something some are quite passionate about. I’m just sharing the info I have today. And I am sharing the feedback that y’all are posting with the Devs.
I think the bigger concern for the company overall would be to piss off the people who spent money on these skins and can’t use them whenever they want.
Yes they could express their concern here, but most won’t. And the chances that someone paid money to buy an elite skin are higher they’ll pay for another, so why alienate a consumer that can give you more potential earnings?
I feel like this is just a small inconvenience and a necessary evil most of us will have to pay when we aren’t actually paying for new content and have to rely on the (piss poor) business model EA has set forth to finance further development of this game.
At the end of the day, there’s always going to be someone who is unhappy regardless which direction we take it. Lock the Elites - those that want to play as Hannah will get pissed. Keep them available - those that don’t want to see non-faction Elites will be unhappy.
And like I said elsewhere, I’m just relating the info that I have today. This may change. It may not. I’ll try to get more info next week.
So what about the epic skins do you maybe know how they are handled?
The Japanese and American factions will have their own Epic customizations, as far as I know.
Jeff this honestly doesn't make sense at all. The elites have a place of birth a language and a faction it's just stupid and without any sense to put them into the pacific. And the other thing is why are you always talking about elites.The epic skins are 7.50€ as well and you won't be able to use them.
And the other thing is why are you always talking about elites.
Because I was specifically asked about the Elites. I'm not "always talking about them".
That is like saying that just because I bought Elsa for the axis I get to use it for the allies as well. Its ok to lock things to specific scenarios. Keep in mind that although we might not represent the majority who plays we do represent the majority who CARES. If I am here is because I am invested in the game and want to see it succeed as much you all do. Love you buddy. Thank you for listening and having to put up with us :)
I gotta be honest. That is nothing like saying that you should be able to use Ilsa for the Allies.
It's not like the Irish dude will be available for the Japanese faction. (I know what you were trying to say, but that was a terrible overreaching example. I get ya, though.)
As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm just relaying the info I have today. If the devs take a look and go "Hmm, maybe we should lock them to this/that" I promise I'll be one of the first to let you know. And they are aware of the feedback from the community.
Then why can’t we use a Tiger on Iwo Jima since it is linked to the Axis faction? This is so dumb DICE...Ilse speaking Deutsch near a japanese lmao.
Because the devs wouldn't spawn a Tiger on Iwo Jima. The M4 Sherman or the Type 97 would be spawned.
(I know what you're trying to say, but that's a terrible comparison because it's not based on user choice - it's based on how the game is designed. The cosmetics of Elites is user choice, which is the point of why they are - at this time - going to be available for the Pacific. That may change - I don't know. I'm just relaying the info that is available to me.)
u/Braddock512 , is it a known issue that the community challenge is not tracking correctly?? Many users on the subreddit have confirmed that many of their kills have not been recorded.
Edit: Just now saw your reply to someone else, sorry for the spam.
Yes, it is a known bug we're tracking.
That being said - while your personal counter may not track correctly (for whatever reason), the global counter is tracking correctly.
How you announced the next update is the way to go forward! If not sure, make it more vague like "plan to release within next two weeks". Still better than complete silence.
And it avoids us making errors and missing dates. It's a win-win!
Patch notes after the weekend then? :)
Yep, we'll have the Update notes out early next week.
The majority of the community don't see it that way. Might want to reassess that decision.
I think you may be confusing the word "majority" with "vocal". (I'm not trying to be snarky, but reality in games is... the majority aren't on forums and reddit. The majority are playing.)
This is the comment that includes no answer, right?
No, it was a nicer, less blunt way of saying "They'll be able to use their Elites. "
Sorry if you didn't catch that.
u/Braddock512 What will happen with the Elites? Will they be playable on all maps or have you guys changed your mind and will make them theater limited?
With the current backlash, the correct choice is obvious.
If I may be bold, it's an interesting way of saying "do what we tell you to do". At the end of the day, we want players who spent their money on Elites to be able to use them when/where they want.
This is how it is at this time. Will that change? I don't know.
If I can speak freely, if you purchased an Elite, you wouldn't want someone telling you that you couldn't use it, would you?
Please link them to their theater. You saw the feedback on Niels comment and all the other posts in the last days.
Definitely understand where you're coming from.
On the other hand, those that spent money on their Elites shouldn't be limited on when/where they can use them.
Hi Braddock!
Awesome week, congratulations on your work and I hope you're better by now.
I haven't the best internet connection so a patch download is always kind of an "adventure" for me.
Can you already play the new content (new maps, US and Japanese, ...) after you have downloaded the patch or do we have to wait till the actual start of the chapter next Thursday?
Regards
Content won't be available until Thursday. So you'll get the update ahead of time, then we'll switch everything on Thursday.
Any news on what's happening with the European elites????
I’ll have some info to share on Monday about current Elites and where we are with Private Games.
Why, oh why do we have to play grand operations? Why throw us into a specific game mode? Or specific maps. I don’t know how they have split it up, but you only get a few of your kills registered. I have hated grand operations since it launched and I really don’t want to play it now.
You don’t have to. You can play on any live mode, as noted in the pic.
good morning julia!
Afternoon, Penelope.
