Community Broadcast - An Update on Updates DETAILS

[Noodlesocks]

What are the chances of all game modes being made available during this quarantine?

[fragnstein]

What are the chances of getting a hot fix for broken plane missles? Or do we just have to suck it up until someone gets around to deciding they want to fix it? Surely this is something that can be fixed through values at home with a laptop

Chance of a hotfix is probably nil as we’ve pushed 6.4 back to combine with 6.6 for May release (as noted in the link to the Community Broadcast above). It’s not about “someone deciding to fix it”. They do want to fix it. (And it should be addressed in the next update) And while the Devs are busy working from home, getting ready for 6.6 (which is 6.4 and 6.6 combined), pushing a hotfix requires testing etc. and delays current production. Shoving a hotfix in the middle of a dev-cycle isn’t something anyone wants to do just willy-nilly.
While I know it’s frustrating - and it is something that the team is working to address with a future update - you don’t have to be snarky.

I appreciate the fact that the game is still being managed during these times.

I wasnt “snarky”,just very frustrated. I dont know if you realize just how frustrating it is. Maybe if you played the game like your customers do, you would realize the level of frustration it brings because when something like this breaks, there are quit a few people who abuse it which ruins the game for several people. The more often people rage quit, the more likely they wont return. Is that what you want? To take your time as more players quit over 2 planes with broken values?

Frag, you were a bit snarky. It’s not a matter of “if someone decides to fix it” and it’s not just “something that can be fixed through values at home with a laptop”. I had already noted a couple weeks ago that the team has a fix for the issue coming in the next update. Then the entire company was moved to work-from-home due to quarantine rules. If it can’t be fixed with a back-end fix (which is probably likely), then it needs a client update. Our 6.4 update was pushed back and combined with 6.6 due to the extreme circumstances facing everyone. And while it is 100% frustrating, “just changing some values” can impact multiple other things, so the fix needs to be tested, QA’d, tested again, then signed-off.

And then you assumed I don’t play the game. I play on all platforms (as I’ve done for every Battlefield title since Bad Co 2). I try to play daily (mainly on PC), but hit PS4 and Xbox One as much as I can while maintaining a balanced life of not “working” constantly.

I absolutely DO understand the frustration - and have expressed that frustration from a personal level and shared the feedback from the community.

@Braddock512

Short answer: Because of legal restrictions of shipping prizes to some regions, legal restrictions on the value of some prizes.

SoI have been trying to do research on how to obtain new emblems, and I haven’t been successful. I know this is probably a topic brought up in the past and I must be overlooking the readings, but could anyone tell me how I would go about earning or unlocking new emblems? ( PS4 player if that matters)
