Does anyone have any faith that nothing will break in the next and final patch? Since something major has broken on just about every patch since launch, I think it’s safe to say DICE will leave us with some game breaking bug that we will have to live with for the rest of the game’s life cycle.
What could go wrong?
Hopefully it won’t be as bad as the invisible soldiers, or the “seizure screen” or the patch the broke the plane hit boxes, that was fun as a pilot.
Man, what a disaster
How to kill a franchise 101
I’m still waiting for the Live Service to start and they are telling me it’s over already?!
So we got the equivalent of one BF1 DLC for a game that had a life cycle that was one year longer than BF1.
DICE could have easily just rolled out another theater like the Eastern Front for this fall/christmas, tailored the cosmetics to be more appealing, made the game free to play to attract more customers.
Surely the decision to stop support revolves around the microtransactions. They are too greedy because their microtransactions aren’t lucrative enough so why waste money on developing a dead game? Surely that’s their mentality.
I bet my 200 boins it will include a blasted ttk change.
Mmgs will be able to laser hipfire across the map.
I know its a joke, but pick up an mg42 in combined arms. It has better unbipodded ads than default.
They cant get much else wrong,can they.
I think it’ll be a combination. When you’re downed it’s not possible to respawn, and a screen appears saying “unable to fetch your report”.
Ffs it’s not the final patch. It’s the end of content additions. Freeman literally said there would still be patches to improve performance and even change community games after June. There just won’t be new chapters or content to go with them.
Did most people literally only read the initial tweet on the BF Twitter page or something?
In all fairness DICE has said that they will fix critical issues onwards also
But I guess what actually constitutes a critical issue is a matter of interpretation.
A “last minute”-balancing screw up may not be included, who knows.
What about the yearly update in November to ruin the gunplay to attract Christmas Noobs?
Will we be spared this year?
EA can think of anything when it comes to money
I honestly do not know what will be permanently broken after the last update has finally arrived. However one can be pretty certain about that the system of microtransaction is not going to get corrupted.
It is almost impossible to guess what they will break and even if they will continue to patch it I hope they do not do any fatal mistakes. I would guess any patch will not come soon after (or maybe it will if we talk ‘DICE soon’).
Every one of those patches will also feel like high risk operations.
With this final patch they could introduce crossplay, so PC cheaters have their opportunity to infest console fanbase. Also another TTK switch to make game unfun forever. Also they could release all these crazy cosmetics from first trailer for free, so battlefield will be flooded by female bionic commando.
BFV was rushed to look crap so the next title seems much better.
Either that or battlefield is dead.
One more post to remind folks that they said the summer update would be the last content update, not the last update period. The game will definitely not be fixed by the time DICE stops actively working on it, but they’ll be on top of things as long as servers are up and I don’t see them being so cynical as to just abandon BFV with common game-breaking issues.
I genuinely expect DICE is done trying to make big overhauls to the gameplay. So for better or worse, what exists right now is mostly how the game is going to be from here on out.
BFV will forever be a failure, but it will be a playable failure.
More servers will be closed, only EU or US servers will remain …
And to “compensate” for that, the “lag compensation” will even be raised higher, so you will only be able to die in cover all of the time and the TTD will be so fast you don’t even notice you are shot at …
And maybe they will even do a first try at crossplay, so we can all enjoy the PC cheaters …
Do you believe everything DICE says? After everything that has went down with this title you are still taking their word as gospel. Man you are dense.
