Re: Official PATCH 1.5 Feedback Thread

I've been bitching about DICE and all their failures ever since BF2 was released. But I have to agree with AAK...the employees that we've been in contact with have all been extremely friendly and supportive. They were the ones who actually had to fight with EA and its legal army to get these maps ranked in the first place.

We all know the modding situation for Battlefield sucks compared to many other games. But I've come to realize that the developers at DICE definitely aren't the ones to blame.

Note: I don't expect to change anyone's mindset, nor persuade you guys to stop voicing your opinions. This just explains my experiences working with them. :)

Re: Official PATCH 1.5 Feedback Thread

but this is DICE we're talking about, such task probably is way too much work for their standards and easy to ignore. lets face it; they ignored this and a bunch of other bugs since the game's release. it's not like they don't know, they just don't care to get it fixed.

Have you ever worked with DICE to develop something? No.
Have I? Yes.

Based on the aforementioned information:

You are very wrong about the individuals at DICE. I am unaware of their overall company's policies and/or directives, but I know that the producers and developers there do care. It is WAY more complicated than you can imagine.

I used to be on the other side of the coin, like you are. I figured they were just lazy and slightly alektorophobic. I've been truly enlightened while working side by side with them to bring the Battlefield community new content. Yeah, too little, too late, you might say, but at least we got this much.

So, try to tone down the "DICE is gheyz0rz and dunt love us" rhetoric and keep a more positive mindset. :)

Verdun Asplode? That one? That can be fixed quite easily...

all they have to do is change the elevation of the titan. but this is DICE we're talking about, such task probably is way too much work for their standards and easy to ignore. lets face it; they ignored this and a bunch of other bugs since the game's release. it's not like they don't know, they just don't care to get it fixed.

Re: Official PATCH 1.5 Feedback Thread

insta-explode is actually done by another glitch that is really easy to do and can be done by accident through regular gameplay. Most of the time it only it is only on one map but can be recreated on other titan maps.

Re: Official PATCH 1.5 Feedback Thread

We'll rectify all of that.

Re: Official PATCH 1.5 Feedback Thread

I already posted this in the official ea forums but thought I would get better feedback from this community.

1. Insta blow up the titan when ever you want While it appears that some attempt to fix this was made. The method has changed, but this is still possible. If anything they have made the exploit even better. This seems like it should be a real easy fix.

2. Titan/Pilum exploit I don't know if this can be fixed without completely nerfing the pilum. However this expoit seems to be catching on. I have personally seen two people use it this week.

3. Ability to get into enemy titan hanger. Not really a big one, Not many people use it and most are kicked from the server upon using it.

I have seen no improvement on server stability.

While aak625 has already spoken to me about titan attack and defend points on the docked titan(wake). I would like to see others feedback. For the most part, both teams just stay in the hanger/titan, so they can get double points for every kill. While the rest of the map is unplayed, and if some one does decide to go cap another control point they are bombarded by pk rockets and sniper fire from players on the titan. Just in a round today I had over 100 pts, clear sky pin, multiple titan attack and defend pins, troop transport pin(I have never been able to get this pin in the regular game) and i really was not even trying cause I was testing out parts of the map. I personally feel that this is a cq map and you should not receive titan awards, or attack/defend bonus. I think that if released how it is, this map will be statpadder paradise.

On a side note I would like to thank the sir community for making a great map, with some really cool design aspects.

end rant:yay:

Ability to get in the titan hanger would be quite hard to fix I imagine, and yes, it rarely happens and when it does...:banned:

No idea about any pilum or insta-explode glitches though. Is the insta-explode titan the one with two air transports?

I really like getting double points, the titan attack badge is hell to get as it is now, I just need to hop on wake and get the gold badge sometime. I like wake as it is. I noticed you also get double points if you orbital someone whilst on your/their titan.

Re: Official PATCH 1.5 Feedback Thread

Shields are behaving funny. I know I saw another post about it earlier with someone complaining about the tank shields. It definitely seems like shields almost don't work now. About 80-90% of rockets seem to go through gunship shields, and this is happening with me both on the receiving end and the serving end.
