So I guess all the other cosmetics that were added in December, and then removed, are all going to be EPIC and cost Boins. Good lord.
I've asked the teams for help clarifying if this will be the case for any of them. Anything they can share back with me I will be working with /u/braddock512 to come back and talk about before it goes back in.
I dont think that they will have RSP options for game modes that they had removed months ago.
We will be ensuring that unless we release a gamemode that is horribly broken (or universally hated), that it's available via Private Games.
That will include Domination and Frontlines. We will enable the community to create their own servers running this mode when the feature launches.
Read moreThanks for the Community Broadcast!
My thoughts on the game modes changes:
- Domination should stay as a permanent game mode. While i like Squad Conquest (good job for adding more maps btw), it just isnt the same (SQC has a vehicle and only 8 players per team). Domination is a good mode for completing assignments and also for ppl who like small scale infantry gameplay.
- Frontlines for me, were a worse version compared to Bf1. Personally it was maybe my least favorite mode and it wasnt populated. So removing it, seems a logical choice. I wanna see in the future a proper plant/defuse bomb game mode though (like Defuse, Obliteration etc).
- Grand Operations needs some tweaks (Change Winning Conditions, better bonus for winning each day, Final Stand should occur more often, Remove Conquest Entirely from Grand Ops, more game modes added etc), but i am already enjoying this game mode in its current state.
- Team Deathmatch is also a mode that ...
I don't get to say this enough but really, it means a lot to myself and /u/braddock512 when people take this much time out their day to share feedback with us. I'll do my best to push as much of it through to the right persons as possible.
Some of my own personal thoughts on what you shared:
We're not against rotating it back in and out of the game through Tides of War if we can see a clear benefit to the experience for doing it. We've long toyed around with the idea of creating mixed mode playlists that match playstyles to player count, and we'll experiment with upcoming new maps to see if we can find better ways for the mode to play out.
We do have more objective focused modes coming to BFV. I don't believe I've heard talk of us attempting classics like Defuse or Obli...
Firstly, thank you for being more communicative and transparent about upcoming changes, it is appreciated.
That being said, don't take my frontlines! It's one of the best game modes BFV has. Most of these limited time modes are just too niche. Fortress would be decent as a day 3 mode in a Grand Operation and Squad Conquest is only ok if you have a coordinated team. Operations and Frontlines were the best modes in BF1 and its one of the few things that keeps me playing BFV.
And calling it a "bug" that the Pit Crew outfit was originally purchasable by CC doesn't make me any more likely to believe it wasn't a conscious decision.
I can appreciate that. It genuinely was a database/administration error that was remedied months ago, but naturally it created a fresh problem that we didn't anticipate much further down the line.
I can't change the stance taken on the issue but I'm keenest to try and figure out why it is we couldn't have messaged everyone before it went back in to help folks understand this. I've also asked the team to help review any of the internal patch notes to figure out if there were any similar skins that were also patched.
Myself and /u/braddock512 genuinely want to be as open, honest and transparent as it's possible for us to be and that on some days, that means sharing news that we know won't be popular. I can only ask for folks to trust us when we say that we're not here to tell lies, and we'd soone...
Read moreLetting you know there is a bug with The Writer outfit. I bought the full set from the armory for 14900cc about 2 weeks ago and I still can't wear it. Every color is locked except for one and it wants an extra 1700cc to unlock it.
That's odd. Can you get in touch with a member of the team at EA Help so that they can look at this one with you? It's not something we can solve publicly and we only ever share info about folks accounts on owned and secured platforms. Keen to get this looked at though.
Not likely, now that you can pay real money for tides of war xp.
Why would they make it easier when that means you’re less likely to pay them?
Arguably there are changes to the way XP gain happens but we'll be talking more about that later this week relating to the Ranks stuff. Attempting to answer the question tonight won't make it any clearer.

Hi folks -
Because of the recent public holidays in both the US and UK, we’ve found ourselves backed up with a bit of a lengthy post covering a couple of different topics.
Apologies from myself for that, here’s what I’m here with today:
Let’s get to it - the below was shared with me from the team at DICE relating to the Pit Crew Skin.

On May 22, 2019, we updated the Battlefield V Armory with some new skins for weapons, and a return of some previous skins for soldiers.
As you may have no...
Read more External link →Please tell me there are going to be more 64 player maps coming out with this, and we don’t have to wait months for more. It’s great that we finally get something after over 6 months, but 1 map isn’t going to last long.
EA Play is only a couple weeks away. I'd watch.
What time does it get released?
Intention is to release it as part of the regular Tides of War refresh.
Really excited for everyone to get hands on with this on Thursday. Plays brilliantly. Mega kudos to Randy and the team who always make these things look so amazing!
Stunned by all of the super informative comments! Thank you all! I’ll reply to all of them when I’m no longer on a boat!
Its a nice idea. Not sure if Radio is the best way to communicate it, but the alternative would essentially be 3D spotting for planes.
Happy to share it with the teams regardless - thanks for the tag!
Read moreLook, I'll be honest, this was the worst LTM mode yet and I hope it doesn't make a return.
In regards to the specified points: * Fantasy shouldn't be placed above gameplay ever. While it might be atmospheric its frustrating to play. Like I'm sure Hamada had a concept of a massive incoming assault with various squads as well as tanks of the horizon but as an infantry player it means being in full view of MG turrets, Pak 40s and a significant amount of small arms with no cover. I quickly learned to not even spawn in at the beginning of the round so that I could spawn both closer to the action and in cover.
Fortifications and map changes were pretty good and made them feel fresher. Makes me think that more modes (standard as well as LTM) would be better if they were tweaked to be more suitable for the type of gameplay offered (linear vs non linear etc).
Neither map included enough lanes for attackers to flank and defenders had significantly be...
We're all good with Criticism. Really appreciate you taking the time to share what your experience was with it <3
I don’t know why you got downvoted.
It's cooler to be a hater ;)
(Debrief Comment for reference) https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/bsko78/weekend_friend_finder/eoo56wr/
Fair enough. We'll still get an update in the near future, right?
Good or Bad, rain or shine.
You're just really trying to find a friend on here, aren't you /u/partwelsh
In lieu of no debrief, is there going to be an update on the Pit Crew uniform from the Armory? Braddock said he'd have an update for us today.
We didn't get the sign off we needed to post it yet.
Ghetto Hijacking the thread to post a quick note heading into the weekend that we won't have a Weekly Debrief this week.
/u/braddock512 is celebrating his Birthday with his friends and family this weekend and neither me or Ben want him doing any extra work. It's hard enough to stop him as it is!
Happy Birthday Jeff, you're magnificent.
So here's the Freeman version of the Weekly Debrief, typed out at 2 beers in on a Friday night!
Key Links from this week!
Read moreAfternoon folks -
Last week through Tides of War, you all got to spend time with Fortress mode. Today we thought we'd introduce you to /u/legmek (Ludvig - @nattskfit) who designed the mode, as there's feedback we'd love to get from you all about your experience with Fortress.
Ludvig's...
Read more External link →u/partwelsh will all lost xp be restored?
you wrote that it is fixed but my xp from yesterday are still lost...
Yep the team solved the initial problem that was causing the issue to take place. An entirely seperate team needs to look at if it's possible to restore rewards/awards. My personal expectation is that this will be difficult to solve, and might not happen but if that changes I will let you know.
