The pricing on this is confusingly very wrong and I've asked the team to investigate.

'5 Boins' is not a price point we use for any item - and with it being listed as Rare it should also have a Company Coin value on it as well.

Here's what happens next, we disable the ability to purchase the item whilst we investigate it and I'll let you know the next part later.

Damn right we did!

It's a good idea - educating people can be a big help! Private Games will likely change the behaviour of how people enter matches though so I'll look to assess it with the gang once we have that.

Any news on more love for sidearms? I see two new sidearms listed in the patch notes. But are we getting any skilltrees or additional unlockable sidearms? Seems like they're really set to the wayside in bfv

No news until it's actually news, but I hear you.

The quickmatch function is a great addition, since it mostly puts you in a server that's just about to start a new map.

But I've posted a video some months ago already to show it doesn't always work, where it puts you in a squad, but you never go into the server. Is the team aware of this problem?

Yeah we've seen it happen a few times in the studio. Not sure on our progress solving it but we're aware that it can happen. Thanks for the extra video!

Can you guys explain how the factions will work? Will it still be Axis vs Allies or will it split into respective factions?

The Company Screen has been fully updated to allow for access to the 4 different factions.

All I hope now is that Amazon Cloud servers in EU will scale after the big release. I remember from past 2 big updates we were stuck with 4 EU conquest servers for an entire day..

This shouldn't be the case. I would encourage that the absolute early birds who are ready to go the instant that the new Pacific Content goes live makes sure that they match make via the front end (vs. the Server Browser). We've also found that its sometimes more successful for the early birds that they queue for Matchmaking in a private group. Our servers are populated to active demand vs. being stood up waiting for players to join them as Empty.

Are ribbons finally fixed in this update? I didn't see them mentioned anywhere in the patch notes. Been trying to get them fixed for the past year.

I've just asked the team and had confirmation that Ribbons have been disabled in this update. We haven't been successful at restoring functionality for them and so unless we can assign resource to rebuilding the system, they will not feature in Battlefield V going forwards.

No they are BFV's versions of battlepickups.

The concept originates from BF4, where you could find the M320 MGL, USAS frag, super-heavy rocketlaunchers and the .50 cal rifles as battlepicups

That's the best way to frame it! Thank you!

ELI5. are battle pickups V's version of elite kits?

They're not kits like in Battlefield 1 - your physical appearance won't change. They're Weapons you can Swap out based on you discovering them on the map. If you die, you'll need to find them again the next time you respawn.

"LOCKED: Awarded at Assault Rank 4" That has to be a bug.

I’ll be looking into this with the team tomorrow. Thanks for letting us know!

What happened to having a CTE, like prior Battlefield's had? This was the best way for the community to provide quality feedback on what needs to be done to get the game into better shape.

Also Dice EA doesn't even have a place to report bugs/gameplay issues like they used to.

Dice devs completely abandoned r/battlefield_live... Since now there isn't a place to report such issues for BFV and no CTE this leaves the community with the distinct impression they are being ignored, or that our feedback is not valued.

Bugs and Issues can be reported via Answers HQ

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-V/ct-p/battlefield-v-en

In relation to your points about CTE, I'm completely open to the idea but there won't and can't be any news about it until there's something you can be hands on with.
