Personally I’m not going to change my game for nothing. If i happen to need that class at the time so be it with the ‘unlocks’ My friends on the other hand are hating it. They are so focus and determine to unlock them that it killed my platoon. Everyone doing their own thing no matter if we win or lose. Took the fun out of it for them and me cause i see it in my team and i could just imagine how many more are doing these side missions. For example He wants to do 10 mortar kills on TDM. Really? (You never go full -Tropical Thunder) I have more but for me it killed my platoon. Bayonet charge mission? When all you have to do is do a MK side step move. Please, I could hear the raging.
Love BF1. Service assignments are rubbish. Would anyone reeaaallly care if they just disappeared?
Me too love BF1.
Those assignments are great again!
Beautiful holiday entertainment even without alcohol or new years explosives.
This week i have learned the hidden powers of repair tool. I have seen the light inside artillery truck.
Kumbaya, my dark Lord!
This week and this year was holy experience. Beautiful year.
Happy new year i hope.
They’re optional so having them in the game doesn’t matter if you don’t want to complete them
Scapegoat?
Scapegoat?!!
”Buy our game and do things you really dislike for hours and hours to get this reward.
We reward you for making our game boring”?
Good call. Looking at them again, I doubt having a few of these scattered through teams is really going to make a huge impact. So, yeah, each to their own. I’m a bit of a completionist and not particularly good so not enjoying the grind. Cheers.
[DICE READ] No more service assignments.
At least for Turning Tide they didn’t make them as insanely ridiculous and liked that DICE listened to us on that and made the assignments something that that class would do to get them, not shooting planes down with LMGs.
But i do find problems when some of these assignments are really good and they give too much of an edge to those that don’t have it unlocked while others are so bad there is no point to even waste time unlocking them.
I like that they challenge a player,as to the assignments, they aren’t that bad they should feel challenging and you should get a sense of, “that was awesome”; “I know I’m getting better.”
As to sliding I hate to see how slide will be coming next to useless, I thought it was a fun and new mechanic; it was nice to see something work out that made the game more interesting and versatile. (Well all like the added vaulting)
I hate to see how casual players have hurt this game immensely, losing sucks, not working as a team sucks since that usually aids in losing. Worrying only about the kd blows, but really it shouldn’t bother someone. I play with alot of good players, some questionable, but honestly more good and great players, then questionable. I hate that people have to say cheaters; it sucks that game developers have to deal with this in a competitive MULTIPLAYER GAME.
I recently played a game and I was in a squad that finally got talking, but only because they were getting one hit kills in a “back to basic” game mode.({Leb back to basics server} Standard issued rifles only) For them it was the first time they ever went positive, were they medics no would they wait for revives? (Sometimes.) Yet they never grasped that if you wait after getting “KILLED” Bleeding out, just before 1. Shooting a flare 2. Dropping Ammo Crate, 3. Dropping a Health crate, 4. Laying dynamite ({In case you didn’t know) which can be shot to detonate), 5. That your kit can be grabbed and utilized, when/IF you wait for a revive. This squad, they only said I love the respawn speed on this server. In the beginning of the round all were sniping not taking objectives, whining, about getting shot from so far never even thinking to understand the games physics, no they just want to get a kill and screw everyone else, but once these people had to be revived, cause a good player kept on them, kept talking as a squad mate, trying to give positions, “STAY DEAD IM ON MY WAY”, they would have kept occurring loss of tickets and watching the Death count just rise, but because I’ve played battlefield for so long, and have been taught alot thought the battlefield years, evolving with series, it really wasn’t until the 2nd expansion I really took a love of battlefield one. Learning all the tricks that are known and unknown, how a bug could just become a feature (I applaud quake and the rocket jump, as well as bunny hoping, since both were bugs, quake is an arena shooter twitch gaming defined in other words different style game) The slide approach in battlefield one was a great take on movement, but people who lacked gaming knowledge found it unfair simply cause they didn’t want to use it, and just wanted a shooter that you stand there and I will stand here, who clicks first on the headshot which should be automatically done by aim assist in their minds, didn’t see how battlefield one took the next step and with it could have even witnessed more movement added to their game, instead have brought it to a point screaming of unfairness and due to this now slide will be pretty useless. I found slide exciting, being able to curve around corners, or slide backwards after nearly making a tragic mistake, being able to dodge and still be moving possible aiding others in combat, or to be able to get to that better position simply because you had help with a distraction. I find it funny that people who strive to complain that bf1 was unfair, and the timetokill was just unrealistic or unfair to a class, simply did not wish to examine that class.
These people cant even find a mic to plug in (they are apparat of earbuds now that you get free with your phone, out that on your shirt or over your ear and have your other headset on, MICROPHONE FOUND) then use the default location of VoIP which is LALT (left ALT) or just go set your keys in key binds.
Battlefield 1 was meant to be a competitive shooter, yes Dice screwed up with the battle packs in the beginning, then they added things that should have been in it since launch since, they should be focused on upgrading their game from all the time from the last. (they really owed it to the fans to take what was bf4 and make it even better) Yet still not all levels support all modes, a server can’t have a set number of people, since some modes don’t accept that number of people, then again why all game mode are not on a new map Heligoland (which should have released with the dlc instead 2, maps both of which are pretty sad, took 2 months to be released instead with the dlc 4 maps together that come with the dlc), when the description for the community mission on Heligoland “complete this map (on any game mode ) 5 times.” That level is so boring to me, it lacks everything that battlefield was trying to do.
Why do the new maps not offer land to sea battles via tanks? Dice I do hope you go ahead and give us a few more great maps, in campaign I know of a bunch of locations unused that could be awesome domination maps, or if fully used great conquest maps.
Please though Please, look at your previous games and build, if class weapons aren’t powerful, make it so each class can have some of other class weapons, Get 5 service stars with a gun and be able to use it on that class. Currently if you wish to play 200% it’s a RSC brawl. I enjoyed trying to find a weapon that worked for that class, yet like the end of battlefield 4 I feel you will destroy it like you did that with your final update. (When you had to use 3 c4 to kill a tank, hard enough chucking 2 with the FLIR available, the entire time the game exsited until that final update 2 c4 {even though we could say it was good team work on the tanks behalf}
why can’t we use lame vehicles bike trucks, to put dynamite on? It was a bug at one point, What I mainly am trying to say are sometimes bugs can be something cool, sometimes things don’t need to be fixed but explained, and if you look at used classes, automatic weapons assault mainly used, with scout class right there, then support and finally medics, (players however not using gadgets as their class would suggest, just seeking k/d) which in BF4 had the assault rifles now just have semi-automatic not as damaging as scout weapons, that don’t hold as much ammo as support which aren’t as fast as assaults.
Our real battlefield enthusiasts know that medics are needed but don’t want to have to use them all the time, cause noobs don’t want to really learn they just know battlefield is a better game then what they used to play, which makes the chat box useless and most hide it until either losing or stomping, then all insults but no real knowledge, people not using mics in fear that they don’t want to just try and talk since probably what appears in the chat box, I can see why it’s so hard to squad up, YOU SUCK, UNISTALL NOOB, YOUR NEGATIVE LOSING TICKETS, ALT+F4, insert anything you know it’s been posted, compared to bf4 games where I know more times then what happened in bf1 the community was there IN BF4, helping (complaining about hardline raving about bf4) Sort of wish origin listed the game where I met that friend in my what was 100 friends list, to thankfully 2000, but I can’t recall, since now well it’s easier just to join the game then it is to find true people to play with, since then possible have to download a different chat program, while in the other program ignoring in game players. I’m lucky to have at least 3-4 squad mates talking with me most games 7pm-9pm.
Again Dice look at your game, and just play it and see what really needs to happen, I’m sorry that the bf1 campaign was horrible, nothing compared to bf4 you were on the ball unlocking guns learning them then when all was done since you had to beat the campaign for 3 weps in multiplayer which was an incentive (hated irish though), That IN BF1 you couldn’t give us a test server, which would solve so many of the problems. Just having that in your bf4 test range was A HUGE HELP spared me possible tons of potential noob remarks. (Still pissed how you warped bf4 at the end of its life, I still am hoping you give a bf4 rebirth patch all the movement and physics of bf1 but in bf4.
All your levels that we have played have parts that are never seen and are sometimes the best part of that map, yet for some reason you think its better to be so far behind the spawn area that most wouldn’t even see it. Realistically, on your levels all of them could have multiple Domination and Team Deathmatch Maps, would you start giving and stop impeding yourselves.
Truly I play a lot of the battlefields in their lifetimes, but I try to play bf1 cause I know what it was for a short time and what it should be, and I KNOW ITS GREAT, yet remember we bought a section of the vision that you envisioned, most of the true followers spent $140 dollars at launch, I bought that 4 times causeI knew people that like it, then when REVOLUTION was released I Bought it for 10 more times for friends., Cause I want that squad and platoon feeling.
I like the earning system, I hate that gaining ranks does nothing but show time from launch or using doublexps and grinding. BF4 offered battle packs for kills with weapons, then ranks, it would have been nice to keep that going, currently 130 rank cap, I don’t really care if you raise it, since nothing is really obtained.
I only care that what you are trying to bring with incursions does happen, it is overlooked, but should be accessible through the bf1 launcher 5vs 5 need to play your role. (AGAIN TRAINING AREA ON CUSTOMIZE SOLDIER WOULD BE AWESOME{ you have a practice area in incursions come on}) I love learning the games and seeing how this fps is different from all the rest, why is this one so much different! Again please don’t run it into the ground because casual gamers don’t want to learn or get better, (but they will if you guide them{bf4 campaign} [Coop levels bf3]) even though there is a campaign in bf1 that can teach how to play fairly fast.
I’m sorry this has become long winded but I want to thank you Dice and for trying,
However you made steps but lost alot of the battlefield followers you had, (afraid it was another hardline) then Bf1 regained with that 2nd dlc(im totally one of them), now that you have this new batch of “gamers” I understand why you listen and lean toward rewarding the mundane Whining, which has changed your vision, I understand. Yet I know what you tried to do, what you were doing, and then why the huge change in January.
Just know real Gamers bought cartages in the beginning they weren’t updated or patched, then cds for pc, then the internet which then developers were able to really make their vison perfected, then developers got lazy and and made beta of completed games which if you don’t play when the beta goes to RELEASE again, it will be another whine fest if this childish nature which is becoming accepted really steals away gaming. If you look you can see how everything is becoming just grey all colors washed away, everything a copy of a copy, another beta that doesn’t get released, and another wannabe game vanishes. Is this what games will become? Ai aiming for them, just clicking one button and saying “I WIN”! Take that same concept and look at Nintendo Mario bros. (technically it was 10 buttons two thumbs) but look what that offered from practically nothing(that game can be beaten in 5 minutes how many of us did everything possible in Mario bros? Days, weeks, months we were kids) Dice know I won’t bail but start caring like you did before(bf3,bf4, 1942, bad company) I might be old-school, but gaming use to bring us together, not just “heres some money that sucked, oh well, what else is there.” (personally I miss coop I wonder what happened to contra, I miss split screen and goldeneye, I miss working together to bring something to life, now we are a wall but who wats to read it?!)
Main points:
-
Slide it exciting and useful
-
Reward people with stupid battle packs for reaching a rank or stars with a gun, how could this hurt?
-
Don’t screw with all the damages making it basically a one hit wonderland (if that’s your vision I respect it, and will learn)
-
A test range, so I don’t look like a noob trying something and failing. Tanks and planes (going to an empty server is kind of a pain)
-
OPERATIONS GET RID OF THE INTORS AND OUTROS, how many times must we hear it? (if you test it and love hearing it OVER AND OVER AND OVER then I am completely lost and gaming has failed me, I understand that it possible could be a loading screen but why give me a skip? I really don’t want to hear about well it should have went the other way, you just fought this war but here it is again cause we bring you 2 operations that even though we lowered the score from 30000 to 25000, we think you love to hear and see the same out intros and outros at least 4x in 11 hours. (Most possible battle back allowed in that segment of time) save me the 5 minutes since operations can be as fast as 10 and as long as 50-70 min at least
-
GIVE SCRAP Why not, if not going to give use battle packs for levels, at least give 25 scrap per highlight, best squad, 200 hundred a day sucks! Since you know I’m going to get addicted and keep playing at least 2-3 more levels. (And no I don’t need really anymore puzzle pieces I think there is enough melee weapons.(hardly any difference at all) {Anyone else think this?})
-
Reward playing together if a platoon plays together and preforms awesome should they see a reward, just a flash with green names well it’s something but wouldn’t people play better granted just cause its PTFO, but to make others want to get that good?!
*Also why cant we complete previously posted community missions for a fraction of whatever was offered?
- let me know what you think going to run this through word post and maybe see a reply or it will just be another brick in the wall. -ChaoticallyCalm
man i hope that fits this thread
U want my feedback trash so are the weapon assignments.
thanks very informative! thanks for your time. you apparently didn’t read anything. If you cant express yourself and either add or agree or disagree, would it not be helpful to possible take a moment and see another’s viewpoint? You apparently have an opinion don’t hide behind cynicism, tell us your opinion or view. We are here on behalf of dice and a game we do truly care about. Is it not a past time and current issue in both our lives?
So apparently all the service assignments in today’s patch are pointless. Detrimental perks and dog-tags. Amazing.
So much time wasted to unlock all the perks in previous DLCs for completionism’s sake, and now this makes it twice more of a waste of my time.
Well, I’ll do the “withering famine” one, because I’ve been waiting for a non-weapon-based golden backside dog-tag since the game came out.
I just completed the Overwatch service assignment but its stil locked , im unable to select it . what can i do about this as its completed?
The new service assignments are pretty ridiculous. 10,000 heals, 1000 revives??
MAP IDEA FOR FUTURE
History of video games has always been just about big wars and big countries. You took first good step by making maps with different kind of armies and not just USA/Russia/Uk etc. I hope you would take this farther and you would make maps with wars that haven’t been so cliches. Here’s one example of next map idea: Finnish civil war. Look from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Civil_War
Some real forest in the north would sound an excellent map for the battlefield.
Different kind of wars and different kind of countries!
There might be an issue with the creeping death service assignment.
There is a part that requires 500 spot assists with the peacok affliction.
The flare gun spot assists are not counting towards the progress. Hope this gets fixed soon.
I think the service assignments are ok. Some are not too bad to get. Some are kind of hard. Some of the perks are really good. Some are so-so. For me the most frustrating thing about them is when the counters don’t work or change without the requirements being updated. For example, Label Infantry / Sniper, Rifle Grenades, etc..
Really frustrating to get kills that should count and not have them count.
In short, I do like them. But broken tracking mechanics can make them very frustrating.
Hi there, it means spot assists using ADS & pressing the RB button (on Xbox one) - Creeping Death is fine & I’ve completed it (a tough grind!) - you cannot use flare gun or trench scope to get the spots.
I finished the Proof of Pride service assignment last night which took a while (10 MVP’s is not easy for an old PC guy using a pad on a console 
) & have also done Suffocating Pestilence, Looming War, Proof of Envy, Proof of Lust, Proof of Gluttony & Withering Famine - just a sucker for a silly grind I guess! …Proof of Wrath is next.
Destroy a Plane with Tripwire?
Destroy Behemoth with the Kolibri..srsly…DICE your taking definitly the wrong Drugs..
