Hello again. I wish to voice some concerns and I’ll try to keep it a bit broad so I don’t
write a novel. I am not here to complain or say anything is wrong. I just want to
make sure that if anyone is listening up there is DICE / EA headquarters, I took my
chance and got my opinions out.
B)
This isn’t something I had planned on writing although I have thought of it a lot. I
am concerned of many things but the first is buying an “incomplete” game at launch.
I commend the job all of EA and it’s branches have done with patching games when
things weren’t right. Thing is, things weren’t right from the start with a few titles
recently. This isn’t a DICE exclusive but not entirely seperate. It’s also not about the
content of the games either. I didn’t buy Battlefield 4 right away because I was
worried about the launch (I was there for 3 and not happy) and “Netcode” became
part of my gamer dictionary. I wanted BF4 but my decision saved my money and I
didn’t have to play with the netcode issues. I watched the streams though.
B)
Another thing I am worried about is squad communication. Things haven’t really felt
complete for me as far as squads. Not since BF2142. Communication with the
commander really helped squads work toward common objectives and the
commander felt more apart of the team (if he wanted to be). The commander could
also gone lone wolf and really dominate the enemy if they stack to heavily in 2142.
There are many balance issues with that but communication and commander power
are something I’d like to see more of.
B)
Lastly, I don’t like buying content at launch. You have a valid point with your effort
being worth your time and money. Where you lose me is selling content to a portion
of fans that other fans choose not to buy at launch splits the community. Not only
does it separate the matchmaking lists and opportunities for a portion of players
that content will sometimes bring on new equipment which change the game in
many ways. Some times leaving the players who chose not to buy the content feeling
like the have an incomplete experience or that others have a superior version. Which
let’s face it any time any of us buy the DLC at launch we have a superior version.
B)
I really like what you guys have done with the CTE and honestly I have to learn more
about it and become apart of the experience. I know we’ve been tough on you, a lot
of the time the community over reacts. Those of us who don’t dislike that too. I
think a lot of us may have a different perspective than the corporate handlers on
that though. Things suck but we are just as passionate about the game too. Some
people just need to learn to focus it in constructive ways. Just keep talking to us.
Also, the regular gamers need to have as big a voice as the youtubers. Again, I get
it; sales. How committed are the youtube followers though? Sure they’ll buy every
new title but the majority of the fan base that keeps the community going and
thriving a year after launch doesn’t follow the same trends. Surly some times similar
ones but I just want you guys to keep that in mind.
