Funny how the epic skin for CC was fixed immediately though isn’t it?

Players don’t matter to dice or EA only money matters.

Fixing a known currency purchase option error is much easier than finding out the reason texture streaming isn’t working properly.

elliott316 I’m not defending anything, I’m simply explaining why DICE was able to quickly fix the currency error that allowed people to unintentionally purchase epic cosmetics with CC when they couldn’t fix the invisible soldier bug as quickly.

I think that sometimes, the half invisible soldiers are actually easier to see than the prone campers in the game. 😃

Agreed, something about their oddness makes them stand out quite often. Makes you paranoid on Devastation though. Those papers blowing about quite often look like the invisible player outline and I kept shooting at them yesterday just to be safe 🤣
