There is another organized group of hack users on NA servers playing under the clan tag HKR (get it, hacker, funny, right?) who show up every day individually or in groups to run up impossible scores, talk about how many times they've been banned but it doesn't matter because they can get all the cheap accounts they want, and generally laugh about spoiling the game for everyone else. It is simply unacceptable that the anti-cheat system takes so long for troll cheaters like these to be banned. If PUBG can ban such cheaters in a day or two, there is no good reason it should take EA weeks (if not longer).

New content is a waste of time for PC players if the cheating issue is not dealt with more effectively. Like the still unfixed team balancing problem, if this is not dealt with I for one would see no reason to buy any future BF games. This is something that every DICE dev should be expressing to management as often as possible.

I agree on the hacking issue, there is some ample room for a more aggressive stance here (we have in the beginning not been the most hard hitting). I'm not fully up to speed with where we are at the moment from a anti cheat POV (they are for obvious reasons a little more secretive with what they do) - but I'll make note of looking that up and seeing if there is anything we can do short, mid and long term to improve the experience when it comes to this.

Glad to have you back, and thanks for this very honest and straightforward response! I hope your time with your newborn was fun, it's wonderful you got time off for that! :)

I don't really expect a response here, since you're already being flooded with replies, but since the team is looking to address some of the QoL/etc issues the community has had for the past few months, I've got a couple to consider passing on to the team that aren't the usual "authentic uniforms / vehicle cosmetics / unreleased stuff in the files" that we tend to see around here.

 

Back in BF4, even before CTE started, I was regularly on comms with one of the LA animators (Ryan / AnimationMerc), and through BF4 and BF1 we got pages and pages of fixes, changes, and improvements done to weapon animation, function, and even name correction done through BF4 and BF1, especially BF4; he gifted me the DICE Friend dogtag in BF1 too. :D However, he moved on from DICE a few months back, ...

Hey! I'd consider improving things like this as part of a QOL thing for sure. But names, as you say are not easy to get what you want all the times. Most of the time it's a legal risk assessment that stops us from using the "correct" names, or similar things. In many cases it's not deemed worth it.

It's also a tricky thing to rename something after the fact (many regular players could get confused with a rename) - but that said, I am all for trying if there is something we can do here too.

Imo biggest problem has been lack of content - stuff to play with and to do ingame (vehicles, maps, features, gadgets etc), Feels like most of the 1st year has been focused a lot on fixing and fixing but delayed and cancelled content has made the game sort of desert dry drip fed, especially for us who love the classic core conquest style, very few conquest maps (like 2 vehicle maps from launch until recently) and barely any vehicles (beginning of year we got 4 variants of vehicles). Weapons and skins have continuously been comming out thats great. But so much focus has been on small modes and infantry, its kinda disappointing for being a battlefield game. Adding the cool gadgets from 5v5 mode would enhance the mp so much and make it fun and challenging. So many vehicles for germany and britain has been found in files, i wish you could push...

I hear you - and there's some good stuff coming within the type of gameplay you like, including revisiting things like spawned vehicles etc. I'd lie if I said I wasn't excited for those :)

My squad and I have been having the same issue. Nobody pressing the Xbox button, but it’s been very spotty to maintain connection to a squad or match. Even in the main menu it took several attempts to get out 4-man squad together without someone joining and then immediately disconnecting. Not just one player, either. Three of our four players had this problem at some point or another.

The problem has continued into actual matches, too. One squadmate disconnected three times in one match, with the error message saying he lost connection to the EA servers. We have never had this problem in 4-5 months of playtime.

Can we expect a fix? The squad has decided not to play until the stability issue is solved.

I see.

Has this changed at all with today's patch? I'd be very interested in seeing if there is a connection at all here.

Thanks!

So, to finally get back and answer this post (as I said I would, sorry for the delay):

I was personally pretty bummed out by the controversies surrounding this game around and before launch (especially the focus it took away from the good stuff), and I think that goes for many of the devs. I hope we can bridge that gap and get back to making a better game and experience that meets expectations from players that like Battlefield and ourselves as devs as well. 

There are of course multiple things I'd personally would have done differently, but I prefer to start doing things directly when I realize I should rather than dwelling on what could have been 🙂 - I hope that my personal and the teams effort will be something that speaks for itself within the game rather than merely a topic of discussion.

As some of you know, I recently came back from ~8 months away on parental leave, with fresh eyes and an eager mind to make some Battlefield. Although I stayed away fro...

Is this connected to pressing the XBOX button? It's a known issue (and I think there is a fix coming this week)

I'm sorry about that, I am very much not involved in that setup or know the details of the delay sadly. I'll see if I can find out.

I´m pretty sure a lot of the salt would have been mitigated if you(not you specifically, but DICE in general) had been more open and honest with us. The constant broken promises (one of which, ironically, was for you to be more open and honest with us) and the subsequent PR speak, then radio silence got old a long time ago.

Yes, absolutely. I am very much not arguing against that. I am all for more open and direct communications.

My comments are very much still my own (thankfully) - In hindsight I should have held off on that comment until I had something proper to say, esp given the current comms climate. I didn't realize the full severity of this sentiment. My bad, I'll do better.

And yes, I still intend to give my honest opinion, as soon as I can.

Rather I was told off by the smarter part of myself for now. Wish I could go into details, and I should have kept my chatterbox shut until I could give you something proper in this regard.

Sorry for that. I blame being rusty post paternal.

I'm not [blaming] anyone, in fact I was very much feeling the vibe and acknowledging it. Just to be very clear there, I realize that could be misinterpreted as something other than that, and given the situation that's probably likely.

I do however not control everything that is BF sadly, so I can't go into details or speculate or anything like that without internal support for it.

Then why not wait until it was ready? Do you think more Soon™ is what the community was looking for? At this point it comes across as sarcastic. It's the CM's job to feed us bullshit with a side of Soon™.

It was not sarcastic or a soon-joke or anything similar. I'll give my honest assessment of the game and where we are as I referenced. It was perhaps a tad premature to comment given time that's been since then - but it's because I was thinking the sorting out would be sorted our faster. Ever the optimist!

Sorry for that.

Not at all. I am still in the process of sorting out some stuff. Need to do that first, then I'll comment.

"At it's core, it's a good shooter, but without input from the community on what they want we can't deliver a content rich live-service."

Wow, this sub really is on the saltier side ATM (I don't blame you). Hope to be able to change that. We'll see.

u/tiggr I know you are back working at DICE, do you still work on BFV or have they put you on another project? We need your savings with BFV. Please do with BFV what you did with BF4. I know you are one of us who actually cares about the game and the franchise and know what the playerbase wants.

I'll be going active soon. Theres stuff to get rolling before I do.

It's okay, I assume some is warranted from their perspective. And I'm good taking that on.

Never delete anything, just fresh slate and he most important stuff will get dealt with first (it tends to be refreshes faster)
