Please change the assignments.

Cheers for the tag /u/rdstr - We've had this feedback earlier in the chapter and we've already took this into consideration and changed up the design of TOW challenges. Previously in the chapter, you've had weeks where you absolutely had to do 'X' in order to get the weekly reward, and we're satisfied that we've fairly addressed that in our current design.

The team have designed Week 9's challenges to ensure that if you don't like Firestorm, you don't have to jump into Firestorm to unlock the Weapon. There's 12 challenges on the table, only 4 of which must be completed in Firestorm, and there's a super simple path to take that week that completely avoids playing Firestorm, and still unlocks the weapon for you.

There's a total of 118,500 Chapter XP on offer in that week, and 84,000 of...

It is - and thankyou for doing so. I'm either sorting by New or by Hot and so sometimes these things fall into that middle ground depending on what time I wake up/Jeff goes to bed (on our opposite sides of the planet). Please always do tag us.

In relation to this - yeah we've seen this happen broadly across all platforms. Not intended and the team are looking into it.

Thank you for also flagging the problem that this causes. Initially it does feel welcome by folks who haven't used the regular Commando Carbine much but it does carry this problem for folks who've worked through the ranks already.

I don't have anything further just yet but I'll make a point of coming back and helping to share where we are with this soon as possible.

It would be nice if the community team developed a map with the community (and some dev's obviously) and no, not some rehash of a BF1942 map.

It really doesn't matter too much on what theatre, as by the time it is out, then the Pacific and later Russians will likely be in the game. Or a theatre could be given.

We've done it in the past with BF4. Was a great experience for all of us. Maybe it's something we'd revisit in the future :)

I would love to see airborne have its own playlist. Its by far my favorite mode and it really nails the fluidity of how a battle plays out.

Interesting! Don't think I've heard that suggestion before so delighted to read that :)

Sure thing! Out and about at the moment but to summarize - the data centers were consolidated in Frankfurt to improve matchmaking. It offers a much more central location for all of EU, and generally didn't threaten to impact the experience to much for folks in the UK.

It's not a final decision on the matter, it's just the path we're following for now whilst we figure out what's best for everyone. They could well return in the future and me and /u/Braddock512 will chip back in with updates when we have them.

I'd say thats a lot more than the flicker I was expecting from the title! Forwarded through, big thanks for the clip! It really helps to pinpoint this stuff <3

Just had a note through them actually /u/eutonachama - have you adjusted any of your UI settings in the game? Adjusted colors, played with the new screen shake sliders etc?

Patch 3.4 - It's changing to Orange. We'll keep rotating through the spectrum of colors every 3rd patch ;)

Where the last survey discussion notes and results?

Also once again.

Also update on the deluxe edition buyers getting more bang for they buck still being talked about? I feel like DICE just trying to dodge this is being very dishonest to the player base which brought in this version of the game.

I have a general rule in life that encourages me to avoid having conversations with folks who aren't interested in having conversations, but instead arguments.

If you're looking for a response out of me specifically, all you need to do is direct a question at me in a civil manner and I'll do what I can to volunteer what information I have. I'm not ignorant of the frustration that fuels your tone, and it doesn't offend me directly, but there's little to no use me encouraging folks to attract my attention by behaving rudely.

We have posted about it here on Reddit. Is there something in particular you need us to clarify?

I want to work with the team to at least come back to you with 'What you told us' and possibly even 'What we're doing' - gets a bit tricky when we steer into that territory but for sure we want to be as open as we can responsibly be,

It's a public holiday in Sweden today so mostly I'm just finishing up my Tides of War stuff today!

I miss this meme. It only ever comes back out on special occasions.

Really nice survey.

However this survey should follow anthem community survey questions. It should have more pertinent questions like the durability of bfv, etc...

I'll sit down with AJ and Jesse in the next few weeks and compare. Thanks for the nod!

I know this is said before, but I also wanted to share why I don't like Grand Ops. I really thinkt he mode can be so much better. I'll write down what's on my heart about this mode.

It's because the game mode feels like it has no soul or heart. It misses that epic grand feeling. Where is the big intro that is supposed to come with this mode, when I heard about this mode me and my friends started speculating how much better it would be than BF1's already cool Operations mode? It should have an epic intro, you could even mix real footage and combine it with gameplay. Something CoD:WaW, for example, did with their intros of their single player. It doesn't need to be brutal footage, just show some real soldiers walking, talking, firing at something. You don't have to show bodies or people getting killed. This would help build that true feeling. Also, I think the mode should feel more like a real batt...

That somethings already been said shouldn't stop you from volunteering your perspective on top of that. It always helps to see the same thing, but presented from a different perspective and it can be helpful in encouraging others to do the same as well

I think it would’ve been nice if you guys added questions asking what the player like or dislike about the maps/map design.

For example I hate maps where vehicles get an easy access to the high ground. Aerodrome is a prime example of this. The hills of Aerodrome don’t have any cover for infantry to move through. Therefore if a tank can get up there, the driver can easily take out incoming infantry while raining down fire on the players below the hills. Narvik to some extent is the same. Only map where verticality works well is Rotterdam in my opinion.

We could, but from what we do with other games we find that it significantly reduces the amount of people that see it through.

Best practice for us is to put it out there in this format, and then see how the data trends vs. our expectation. If we're seeing feedback that suggests things outside the expectation then it gives us the opportunity to either use platforms like this, twitter, or more surveys to understand why.

There wasn’t a text box to explain why I rated the Grand Ops so low, I’ll throw it in here: the story telling isn’t very good. BF1 made me feel like I was grinding out a multi-day campaign and that is missing from BFV. Some of that feeling has been captured in the Panzerstorm Op but it’s missing from the rest. I also don’t think CQ belongs in Grand Operations, it just doesn’t suit the attacking or defending nature of the mode.

It's good of you to come back to the comments here and share that. Thank you.

1 Speaks volumes about how you feel about it as it is!

Just for my own curiosity, how did you enjoy the Grind variant of Narvik?

Did my part again, as I did last month. I am really not sure how to fairly rate the grand operation questions as I dont like that gamemode at all

All/any questions can be skipped - we potentially missed a N/A option for that page that we can ensure is available next time (which can't be added now it's live).

In the short term I've added some text to say that fields can be left blank.

Ultimately I really appreciate you taking the time to fill it in.

Big thanks to everyone who completed March’s Survey. These will continue to be posted monthly to help us gauge the directions we’re moving in and help us chart better courses.
