State of the Game - Help DICE Prioritize!

Have been saying this for a long time. It would be really nice.

Re-populating servers is another issue that I would like to see being worked on. I played a whole match of Operations last night with 5 less people on our team. The only reason I stayed was because I was playing with a couple of platoon friends.

Top priority ---- Add a working CLIENT SIDE ANTICHEAT. The amount of free cheating in BF1 has become rather ridiculous.

Add live server info.

48 player servers.

Ability to customize tank loadouts without being in one! Most of the time it’s impossible to get a tank with the current method. This needs addressing.

Reduce high cpu usage/better optimization for i5 users.

Create a better report function for reporting suspected cheaters and provide some feedback on the outcome/current status of a report.

More communication with the community..

@StarscreamUK , were you in LMZF ?

I wasn’t no, my psn is Starscream_UK

Balance
No matter how great the game and it’s features a badly balanced game ruins the whole thing for everyone and it happens often.

  • Please no more team switching except to smaller/losing team. It is crazy you can switch to the bigger/winning team
  • Please some kind of in-game balancing. Auto-balance is unpopular, but some system to facilitate and incentivise a switch when the other team loses players is needed
  • Another kind of in-game balance: lengthen/reduce spawn times appropriately if teams become imbalanced
  • Buff behemoths. They are too easy to destroy and very rarely serve to address an imbalance
  • Don’t start games badly imbalanced. They sometimes start 20 to 32 and stay that way for a while, then people leave and it gets even worse. Either allocate people when they are loaded and not before or make it more transparent so people know more team mates will be there shortly.

I say heck no to buffing behemoth. They could make it indestructible and it still wouldn’t turn most games, because of the incompetence of the team that has it. Team balance is the bigger issue, which if improved would reduce behemoths altogether, creating a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

I’m playing mostly on Xbox One (but also play on PC and PS4 Pro) and I just want the game to stop having constant micro-stutters (it’s the only game I own on PC, Xbox One and PS4 that has the issue and I’ve checked my ports, NAT and router and all that is fine).

Hey, I’ll leave my thoughts and wants here:

Conquest: make defending and holding objectives worth more, not as much as capping, but make them worth enough to make defending worthwhile.

Spawn: Squad leader respawns. similiar to the way it was in HC on previous editions. Spawn on Squad leader only and

Squad leader can spawn on any squad member. I think this will aid in team work.

Enemy respawn on dead enemies has been getting more and more problematic. If the Spawn target dies, boot the respawning unit back to the map screen.

Map voting, I like being able to vote for an upcoming map, but there need to be something to prevent the same two maps from being played over and over again. Put a limit in place, like if a Fort is the map just ending, then two other maps must be played before Fort can be voted in again.

Bring back the Server browser from BF4.

Just a few right now, I may add a few more later after I read some more of the comments as they come up.

Thanks!

Priority = Fix netcode and hit detection, i couldn’t care less about any other fluff.

I was under the impression the latest patch/update was meant to be addressing being shot while in cover? (sure i read that somewhere). Guess not as i’ve just been killed by the same 150 pinger twice now while behind a wall/in a trench who, coincidentally, was topping the enemy leaderboard. Biggest issue in the game for me which was fixed in the spring patch then destroyed again a few days later.

How about u listen to us this time …oh & this needs addressing FIX spawning on dead people , how is this not fixed yet

Operations needs some desperate attention but it doesn’t seem like Dice cares about that game type at all. Does anyone play It? Just curious.

As for fixes, the most important is that it needs to be added to the server browsing area. This will entirely end the issue of people joining empty servers. Its ridiculous that the best you can hope for is doing the random search in the operations menu which of course doesn’t let you pick the map or the game size.

On a minor note, I think scores should carry over between maps on operations and the end game bonus should count for the overall final score, not just the final map score. And while you’re at It, maybe fix the bonus too. If you make it to the final objectives on 3rd map in the desert but don’t win, it’s not a “major defeat” by any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks for your time.

I mostly avoid Operations. I often spend several minutes in a queue only to end up in a match with no players and no one joining.

Operations is in need of several adjustments, particularly a server browser. But, for whatever reason, DICE hasn’t been prioritizing this game mode.

I think it might be important if people put down their ideas on how to improve the game even if other people have already said what you are thinking a hundred times.

hi I know this has been covered but it annoys me so I’m going to mention it again

I used to love operations but for a while now I can’t find a server that has anyone in it,
the only way I can play is if a choose a random game, it always puts me on the same map but it never starts me at the beginning so I have no chance of completing the summer challenge.

I have not seen this mentioned so it could be me but it is frustrating when you play operations over several maps for well over an hour to find they only give you
a score plus xp etc. on the last map ,why cant the score be carrier over to the end, I might be wrong so someone can comment.

it would be great if you could choose any medal without time limit.

when someone kills you and you get the on screen 0-1 it would be nice if there was a smaller indication that youve got him back 1-1 in the corner of the screen.

one more thing which for me would make a great game even better would be if when you rank up to 50 , 100 and 110 you get a new uniform with added protection and a better gun with more power across all classes . to make it fair for the noobs anyone taking down a level 50, 100 or 110 could earn more xp , for me this would make it worth while otherwise what’s the point in ranking up .

thanks!

Hi,

My points. I am playing the infantry most of the time, so my points are valid only for the infantry

  • Remove sweet spot. Only Headshots should be OHK. It’s hard to find cover from every sniper in the game. But at least, when you’re hit you have time to find cover or do something. With Sweet spot it’s impossible - one hit and you’re dead. I am OK with AA and Snap to Target, but Sweet spot should be removed from Scout rifles
  • Spawn only on Squad Leader
  • Increase the points for Defending flags. I stopped playing Conquest, because now it’s just a Zerg rush from flag to flag. Every time I am trying to defend the Flags, we are 2-3 people trying to hold the position and in next few minutes we’re wrecked by another enemy’s zerg wave + >100 grenades
  • Decrease the grenade blast radius. Now, it’s now like a Holy grenade from Worms, that destroys everything within 10-15 meter radius.
  • Increase the LMG damage or decrease the pistol damage. It’s ridiculous when pistol beats the LMG, even at range
  • I don’t know how is it called, but it happens a lot. When the enemy behind the cover and you see only his head or even part of it, but he sees everything and kills you through the cover. Maybe it’s a server lag or some glitch
  • Weapon damage inconsistency, but i think it’s related to a hit detection or server lag. Sometimes I am killed by Bar or Lewis faster than Automatico :slight_smile:
  • Grenade accuracy. I don’t know, maybe people are really good, but all grenades thrown at me fall directly under my feet

Official dice servers with all maps in rotation.
Vanilla & DLC maps.

my top wants:

-operations in server browser
-an end to a-d-a-d spam

Get operations sorted…90% of the time I’m put into an empty or almost empty server that never fills up and when I do finally get into a server with players it’s invariably Iron Walls or Conquer Hell. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind either of them but it would be nice to be able to play the other maps.

Fix spawning on dead people.

Get a decent AC to enhance Fairfight where it falls short. Not complaining about FF as it seems to do what it does well but it doesn’t cover all bases and that needs rectifying.

I know ALOT of people have been shouting about the above so not too sure how DICE cannot already be aware yet very little seems to have been done about any of them.

Since this might be the one chance to actually get a message through, and I do greatly appreciate that, I’m going to ignore any of my personal opinions about priorities and get to this, and I’m going to do it loudly because this is the biggest by far of the many problems that have been covered here:

THE #1 PRIORITY IS THIS THREAD!

EVERYTHING in this thread has been said before and it’s all been done to death. We shouldn’t need a special thread to help prioritise and provide feedback. You need to get staff to work with the community ALL THE TIME. Every single thread should be viewed and listed and prioritised and worked on. I realise that what I’m asking is expensive, but you should be aware that many of us would be more than happy to volunteer our time, if that’s what is needed to make it happen. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
This thread is a great start.
