While I have an opportunity to ask someone who is directly working on this game, is there any chance that we could see parts of the Firestorm map cut up and be introduced as multiplayer maps for the base game? And while I still have the opportunity, bitching and moaning aside, I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we all appreciate the work you guys are doing and it doesn’t seem like people tell any of you that enough.
Splitting the map is not something I have insight into if possible or how much work it entails. If there's areas designed that could be a good as another map that seems like a neat way of reusing good content though - but that's just my personal speculation and not any official stance.
Thank you for the reply tiggr. My understanding based on Jeff's statements at the This Week In Battlefield post last Monday was that the roadmap was already being delayed in order for the legal and financial teams to sign off on the roadmap's content, which was indeed complicated by the switch from one fiscal year to another. Presumably, since some maps whose release dates are after April 1st were announced in the roadmap we ended up getting yesterday, the maps being alluded to in the tweets above would have also been made explicit--but I guess that's not the case? All this stuff is over my head
It's complex to say the least - and that's why we keep things unspecific and vague most of the time as it can't get anyone into troubles :). All I know is that theres some really good stuff coming, and the pace is increasing as well, which will make players happy. But, proofs in the pudding - IE released things.
Honest question, do the people who make these decisions see how much this negatively effects the hype and long term success of the game?
Yes.
So pretty much depends if the people upstairs decide if it's worth it to put more money in the game
No, not sure how you ended up with that conclusion? Reasons to only speak of locked down specific content (which has a set release date) is a financial reporting one in connection to being a publically traded company and the used reporting structure for a bought product like BFV. This doesn't mean we as devs like it - or want it to be this way. It's become both easier and harder in a sans premium world, but I know the next fiscal has less stringent rules, which should translate to more details earlier and more specifics post April 1st.
then put that in the road map! god damn it's not complicated
It is when you can't talk about anything or any details in the next fiscal (without massive legalhoops and delays). Which coincidentally starts on April 1st.
Holy cow are you back already!? I coulda sworn it was just yesterday when i read you were on 6 months leave!
I'm not back, just here as a private citizen :)
The only thing that has me concerned is the 3x armor added to the 150 health for 300 total health. Trying to take someone down wearing all that armor seems ridiculously overpowered and unbalanced to me. Excited to try the mode though the rest all looks good.
Headshots. Same DMG as in reg mp. It's where it's at.
Are they customisable like the other HUD elements, or will us colourblind end up struggling?
Think so, yes. But might be wrong. Haven't been part of playtests in a while ;)
Thanks god I live in Germany, one of the richest countries of the world! I bought best internet flatrate available for only 55€ with maximum download speed of incomprehensible fast 1.2 MB/S!
Even with a good connection you might be out of luck. EAs Origin network constantly shits the bed and delivers only 2.5MB/s at best. For example this was the case for me when I initially downloaded BF:V and for most of the patches so far. (edit: see other comments in this very thread)
Afaik they're using Akamai as CDN, which was critized for being slower than the competition numerous times in the past
I get 12 MB/s In Sweden from origin - but it's once all files are distributed across the backend. It seems to take a while initially every patch.
I believe it's already changed to something less red/enemy colored since that version.
thanks tiggr :D
hows your time off? hows the baby?
It's getting routine now, and it's pretty great I must say :). Finally have time to play games for the first time off work for like 4 years. Got some catching up to do.
You hardly hear anything about it anymore but they are definately not right yet. Way too many wtf still with gunplay and after a few games my eyes are strained from trying to see into every dark nook and pile of wood. If i adjusted my screen anymore it would be solid white. Footsteps are also still hit and miss.
For netcode, turn on netgraph - and record video and post it for us! It will help find any remaining issues and fix em.
For visibility, specific areas and places called out usually is he way - it's based on per weather lighting settings and it's per area as well. So shoot em!
I just looked it up to be more sure but I am fairly certain that DICE Sweden is making BFV, I couldn't find any sources saying LA make the game.
Do you have any by chance?
Hey, I sure was part of both - and we're one DICE...
I might be on parental - so I am donning my player hat: Dice pls!!
Great memories! Man, I miss those times!
Indeed,.what happened to my teens.. :). Hitting 40 this year - I might have to buy a sports car or something
Thanks for all the fish Joyce! We'll get to fika in Sweden soon!
