My recommendation for folks who are curious to try it out (beyond engaging with folks on Twitch/Mixer or watching YouTube) will always be to set up a Subscription to EA or Origin Access Basic and play the game for a month at barely the cost of lunch.

The way it's setup, you can sub, then immediately cancel your sub so that it won't auto renew and that way if by the end of the month you feel you're having a good time, you're in the best place to decide which way you go about playing the game (either buying it physical, second hand, Digital, EA Access sub etc.)

Anything you do carries with you from EA/Origin Access, plus you get the whole rest of the catalogue to play with.

(Not a #ad btw - just a big believer in this sort of stuff! If you're an xbox player you should absolutely check out Gamepass, it's a bloody steal to be able to play Gears and Sea of Thieves and everything else for a couple of quid).

Thanks for the tag! We'll investigate next week.

It absolutely is - I'm guessing you're on an AMD card? We have the gang looking at this one for sure.

Edit - We'll see about adding it to Trello next week too so anyone affected can help track it

TLDR is - Yes, they'll be available for CC after the Chapter has ended. We haven't decided yet how long a period will need to lapse after the chapter has ended to make them available but we will 100% have them purchasable for CC for anyone who either doesn't play the chapter, or doesn't hit the ranks (so don't sweat it!)

Nobel Peace Prize.

Fixed. Sorry about that!

This is fixed now for any one checking in.

This is now fixed. We had very stern words with the backend server.

For any late lurkers - this is now resolved. If you have it happen in the future just pop a client restart and you should be Gucci.

I’ll get an answer on this before the end of the week.

Great episode of Doctor Who that one.

We'll be monitoring for more instances of this throughout the day, but a Client Restart appeared to resolve most of the issues folks bumped into first thing this morning.

Same.

This is the known issue that's tracked above in the main post - we're working on getting a fix out as soon as possible.

We're making good progress. I'll have an update by the end of the day.

Weirdly, this one happened to me yesterday. Exact same problem. We spent an hour running around the office trying to figure out what went wrong and then when we loaded the game back up is was 100% fine.

I'm expecting that this is the same for you now (regarding blank classes) and that you're back to normal.

Disconnections are unfortunately common right now - if you press the Xbox Button on your pad, it just does that. Working hard as we can to stop and fix that.

Flakfire first coined the term IIRC. It was at a pre-release feedback session some six months before the game was released. I've always been a fan of the term, our marketing team less so 😅

Didn’t we do that for free in 4.0?

(too soon?)

It's unfair of me to speculate, but based on experiences working on other things it's likely a lot more work than just a few toggles in the backend or lines of code.

It sounds like work that an engineer and then UX designer needs to be dedicated too for some time (plus the QA testing beyond that), and if they're needing to stop what they're doing to make that happen, that means that something that's potentially better, or more important gets delayed. That means other parts of the team get held up and these things can wildly knock on until you're left waiting for new features, fixes, or improvements to the game.

It's not to say that it's clearly not important to some players, and not to say that helping to meet your expectations isn't important to us too.

As I've volunteered elsewhere, if something changes, I'll share it. In the mean time, I can only help to explain that what we have in the game today is a conscious choice on our part, and working per our de...
