I tryed all on the training mode nothing to do with the aim assist i know what im talking about i tryed all setting possible and still the same thing when i move the joystyk slowly it go to too slow even with hight sensivity the start of the curve is too slow, i have bf1 and bf4 on ps4 too i still play them no problem, what i asked is an addition of option to choice the aiming curve as on Apex, on Apex i play with the steady curve its similar to bf1, its a good addition for consoles players, im not asking for a redesingn of the aiming system, one of the devs called Julian Manolove told me on twitter that it is already on his list of things he will do but he was busy with the 5v5 competitive now he works on other project becouse he left bfv so nothing until now.That's why.

Doesn't the advanced settings for controllers allow you to tune this to your heart's content? It should be possible to reach the same feeling?

Controller peeps with detail insight - correct me if I'm wrong here.

My initial verdict was that in many ways there have been little to no improvement or movement in some small, but key/important areas many players (myself included) care most about.

Such as? I can come up with my own list with ease, I'd like to know what issues you see. I'd also like to know how some of those issues qualify as small, frankly there still being no team balancing or endemic cheating on PC don't strike me as small issues.

We will be talking about specifics in a bit - and why we deem them important as well. I don't wish to use the S-word.

The foundation is there, its a great super gameplay in BFV. its just buggy and very small content wise so far.

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 development of 2-3-4 of these every 3 months at least since its getting very dry in this area.

Bugs has been nasty until latest few months. Now i dont experience any game breaking ones and can play easily, so thats ok for me atm. Team balancing often break server sessions since it often derails the games, cheating has become more common than ever in my opinion (pc), like every 2-3 maps now has a cheater, i barely met any cheaters before last 2 months.

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 :)

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 from social and the game in...

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!

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

Olegchan

While we're at more open and direct communication, do you have any information about the letters from the front? Or regarding the 4.6 patch. I mean there are 6 days left in September, it's pretty silent atm. Anything would be appreciated at this point.

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.

Spartancarver

Can you really blame people for being "salty" about being sold a product which is, literally and without exaggeration, non-functional?

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.

Elbram_Tsol

Perhaps he was told not to by his higher ups.

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.

Snaakmat

Hmm yeah the moment I read the comment I thought: Either EA/DICE will let the answer get removed because it is too upfront or it is something so vague the community doesn't want to hear it anyway

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.

henriksen97

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.

-sYmbiont-

Looks to me like a troll post.

Edit: Not troll post confirmed. The man himself has spoken.

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

SilasCybin

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.

phantasatron

Watch him blame the players for not giving enough feedback or not taking surveys and as a result they didn't know what direction to take. Lol

"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.

UniQue1992

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.

I'll give you my comment here in a bit. Watch this space.

Misanthrope357

Hey mate, I apologize in advance for all the morons on here that take pleasure in personally attacking devs. Some of us appreciate you guys.

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

It's like 2 more weeks still? Don't ask me, I'm not sure what weekday it is at this point...

phantasatron

Don't delete the ones that mention how useless the bolt actions are in this game. Also, there's still no sign of the MAS-36 and French faction.

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

jman014

Yeah paternal leave is actually a really dope idea- allows you to spend time with the family at arguably one of the most important times in a child’s development.

Having kids is fucking taxing!

Hear hear. And yeah, there's the other 4 yo monster after 16pm too :)
