I am pre-order delux edition user and i feel that only two weeks after the release of the game the drop price of it is really not faire and makes me feel really disappointed.

Τhis does not go away that so many people paid the full price of the game and it’s completely unfair for them.

If so, they are idiots. DICE’s marketing campain is one huge red flag. Also, them pushing forwards the original release date was a red flag that the game wasnt ready yet and they needed more time.

3rd. Not all game modes are ready and aviable yet. The live service is just a cover up to release an unfinished game in small parts at a time.

4th. In case you havent noticed, 99% of the forum posts are negative feedback because of how unbalanced and broken the game is.

5th. Most people only got early access through their origin membership and not actually buying the game. DICE needs more people to buy it. Compared to BF1, their sales number are half right now in relation to the same time BF1 was released.

6th. A lot of what was advertised: dragging bodies into cover while reviving and battle royale ISNT AVIABLE despite the game being out. So many people are holding out because clearly DICE hasnt lived up to expectations.

If anything, DICE should be refunding people who paid for early access and premium because the state of the game is even worse than a BETA. I have never seen so many glitches, bugs and unbalancing before.

Well it does affect the price. DICE needs to sell more games to make profit. With all the bugs, not enough people are buying the game.

Thats why DICE now is lowering the price. It’s very simple.

Cause and effect. Not fair to you/us, but it is what it is. Money talks

I understand the reason! And i agree of what you said about the game and how it looks like. I just say that it’s very bad for people who paid the full price and support the game. After only two weeks this is really unprecedented. EA for once must respect the community and give them that money back.

Lol one thing is for sure… EA does not respect anyone until they get massive negative feedback on social media. Look at battlefront 2 disaster with pay 2 win system. I agree with you but DICE aint gonna do for us.

I don’t really see the problem here. Everyone who pre-paid or bought BFV in the first week did so willingly and was willing to pay full price for a game they already knew had problems. We all wanted to play the game and see it succeed. Sure I would have liked to pay less, but considering all the hours I’ve already put into BFV, it’s quite a bargain.  
Posting these kind of sales numbers only makes people who haven’t bought the game not buy it. Hell, the from DICE who got fired has even put up video where he literally lies several times about the game in a pitiful attempt to drive people away from it. As a result, this makes future support unsure as DICE and EA are only willing to lose so much money.  
I want the game to succeed, and I want to play it for years to come. I love the series, and I’ve played every game since BF1942.  
Also, many people, like me, are really enjoying the game despite the bugs. It’s a known fact that people are much more willing to go to a forum to complain than they are to give accolades.

I haven’t seen a price reduction for the deluxe version. Best buy had V on sale for $40 physical copy, and target has the console version for $30 both standard versions. Pretty sure EA has no say as to what price retailers can sell their merchandise for.  
There is ALWAYS someone who complains when the product they bought goes on sale.

It’s one week after standart edition release. What are you talking about? It’s the first time that i see something like this only one week after the release.

Maybe for the console market is different, but I haven’t encountered that many bugs - if any. The game even has faster loading time, which is a bliss after BF1. I’m not regretting my money, I’ve paid full price for far more bugged and almost unplayable stuff, like Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Only price reduced for digital on console as far as I can see in the U.K.

PC still around £38.

It will be in the “bargain box” in a few months or just free to play with micro-transactions

So am I the only one who realizes it is reduced due to the holiday season like most other things people buy as gifts. I preordered deluxe and I am not mad that it is on sale around Christmas time. Even if ea reduced it you cant forget this game was pushed back a month and they probably already decided to reduce the price for the season before they realized the release date needed to be delayed for a month. Sometimes business is business and nothing will always go as planned.

Why do people not understand that the retailers do the discounts not EA! EA has it’s Origin store, everything else is based on the retailer. If they decide that BFV didn’t sell as well then they lower the price. It certainly sold under expectations and now Amazon, Best Buy, Target, PSN etc. sell it for a discounted price for a while.

Look, the game is priced around 40 euro’s already. It’s never going to go up in price again. I payed 36 euro’s for it and I wouldn’t have payed a single euro more for it.  
I pre-ordered the game, played the alpha, played the beta and asked for a refund. Now I’m glade I only payed half of what the pre-order price was.

I wouldn’t be suprised if they make the battle royale mode free if it’s a succes. Keep in mind that they only stopped asking premium pass price because they are expected to make lots of money with skins.

The game is unfinished at release. Battlefield 1 already missed many features the previous titles had and most of them got added later on. Now, with this launch, they released a game that is so basic, it’s basicly still in alpha stage.

I’ve been playing for two days:

- Floating bodys
- I went under the map when I died twice already
- Impossible to switch teams
- No empty servers wich result in big blans ( like mine ) with 8 people in queue to join
- No platoon emblems
- TTD is bugged as hell. Shooting an enemy costs 1-2 seconds while getting killed happens in half a second.
- Impossible to spawn on squadmates even though they are no longer in battle
- Gadget settings change without me actually chaning it
- Changing Texture filter settings in Nvidia/AMD settings results in blurry textures ingame
- Avarage framerate in maps is far from simular, making it very hard to find the correct settings to play the game
- Directx 12 stutters on many high-end AMD hardware, and AMD is not to blame
- No RSP

That there are only 8 maps, and that the battle royale mode gets added later on, that’s totally acceptable. But the amount of basic game features that are lacking and the obvious amount of bugs in this release are not.

And most importantly, impossible to play on the same squad/team as a clan:

Next weeks patch still doesn’t result in a full game.
