discord-server-feedback

[inner grove]

Let's see how this goes...👀

[timber talon]

Looking forward to the future of Battlefield 👀

[trim remnant]

I have all the channels muted except #game-news lol, how should I know

[jade fjord]

Bring back regular role color selection

[jade fjord]

I dont trust him

He already lied with the bfv anti cheat

[elfin gust]

This is already been addressed, but keep the server well and healthy. I wouldn’t want this place to die

[simple dawn]

Add a bug reports channel

I wanted to report a bug https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Annoying-AI/m-p/14023189/highlight/false#M31703

But it doesnt seem theres any place to do that

[simple dawn]

A massive issue as well that many ppl want fixed

[plain gorge]

I hope I don't get forgotten

Anyways, best wishes

[simple dawn]

I though they got rid of the anticheat?

[lethal mantle]

Hopefully the feedback from us actually make a change, we saw how community felt against 2042

[lethal mantle]

Ikr

[leaden mountain]

this is just the feedback channel for the discord, not for the game

[torn delta]

Well a feedback channel for the game itself would go out of hand within the first hour

[chilly night]

Oh it's about to go alright

[round hazel]

Definitely. The forums are good enough as that’s a direct line to devs that can get filtered through

[foggy chasm]

The forums never felt good to me... No response and often no adequate categories and it's unnecessarily hard to interact with the forum from a user experience perspective. I'd welcome a discord forum channel with certain templates for bugs and feature requests.

[lucid ridge]

discord is way better than forums + you can just build forums to this server if admins see the use for it

[round hazel]

If they set it up as a coherent thread list then yeah that’d be welcome. But if it ends up as one channel where people just constantly vent then that won’t serve much purpose. It’s just that I’ve made several bug reports and critiques in the past and got personal responses from devs and community managers, with relevant fixes a few months after, so it always felt pretty responsive for me

[jade fjord]

They added a new one but the cheater situation is still as bad as before

[prime falcon]

Here's my list of feedback and suggestions; Have a general battlefield suggestion/feedback board for legacy support to older titles such as a few minor tweaks to gameplay or long standing bug issues that could be patched. Have a more clear and defined in-server 'rank' system so that way members that're new can understand how to unlock other permissions.

*forum, not board

[lucid ridge]

Hi.
This channel is for feedback for the discord server.
I'll delete some comments that do not belong here.

[prime falcon]

Is what I said not applicable here or is this just a general statement?

[lucid ridge]

Generally :)
Already deleted the messages that needed to be deleted

[prime falcon]

Oh okay, just wanted to make sure.

[strong echo]

Why is it against the rules to recruit for a clan? That makes literally no sense whatsoever and is a great way to kill team based play and working together with like-minded individual.

Y'all have proven that you cannot handle making a game where making friends and sticking together is something that is easy and fun to do. Disbanding lobbies, a friends list that breaks half the time, no dedicated servers... like come on.
And now you want to take away the ability and make it banned to recruit people to a clan? I don't know what y'all have going on in those heads of yours, but it makes literally no sense and it seems like you're trying to kill your player base.

Also, what makes you think you have the right to make it where people need your approval to recruit other players to play in a clan? This is a video game, not a company, not the government, a video game. Let players have the freedom to do whatever they want to do and stay out of it. Make a good game and make it where the community can play together and do whatever they want and just step back and let players have their fun.

Your job is to balance a video game, make it playable, remove bugs, and all that fun stuff, not to police a discord server designed around making friends and playing with people who who enjoy a similar play style.

[willow grove]

ngl idk what kind of feedback I can put here
•Can the old regulars get the vip role like in the dark ages of the server (Ik it’s a question)
•regulars having the option to pick colors does seem pog
•Having different battlefield forums (like bf1, bfv, bf4 and soon bf2042) under #battlefield-legacy-titles could be kek
•art starboard and regular starboard would be pog to have back
•have a new channel called idk “ gameplay vids ” for the lads to post their epic gameplay moment vids (since people been abusing it on the #screenshots-and-clips
•might be biased on this one but can we do a yearly best clip and who ever gets the most votes gets the pog keyplayer role (like the old days )
•idk might comeback to make a new feedback list

also forgot can we bring back BFD Minecraft

[supple trout]

Things are still being worked on behind the scenes. I'm sure they will address it soon

[strong echo]

We will see. Highly doubtful, but here's hoping you don't kill this server like you did to the games you make.

[shrewd night]

Did anyone say IMG and GIF perms yet? Otherwise I want it. I also want the ability to choose between a variety of colors as a member, and not make every single one of us blue.

[supple trout]

The experience on the server should mostly remain unchanged after the transfer is completed, so I'm hopeful

[supple trout]

soon (tm)

[shrewd night]

for both? @supple trout

[fickle girder]

No clan recruiting is stupid AF. That's actively against teamwork and collaboration amongst players and player friendships. Wtf?

[supple trout]

The previous recruitment channel relied on a bot that has been removed as part of the transfer, and I guess we're waiting for EA to come up with their own alternative

[stark nymph]

Why not just let people post in a channel for recruitment

Instead of relying on a bot

[strong echo]

Except the problem is, it's specifically stated in the rules that trying to recruit into another server is grounds for being banned

So y'all can say whatever you want, but it's pretty clear with the goal is

[supple trout]

Previously it was not very fun to moderate, as many didn't follow the format. But that's an opinion some of us previous mods had
I don't have all the answers as to what is to come for now. I think we'll see something come next week

[supple trout]

Invites to other discord servers have always been removed here

nothing new

[supple trout]

you are looking way to deep for intentions that don't exist

[strong echo]

I didn't say that now did I, but y'all removed the bot that allowed to post for clans, and now you're saying you can't even invite other people or say hey I have a Discord with a bunch of people who like to do "X" why don't you join us?

[supple trout]

All I'm saying is to be patient over the weekend

[strong echo]

No VOIP on launch, disbanding lobbies, broken friends list, one man army specialist at launch, the track record of forcing solo play is in your DNA, I'm not inferring anything.

Oh and the squad stuff yall had to completely overhaul

[plain gorge]

What are you talking about

[strong echo]

I'm getting sidetracked, but this is just the next thing in a long line of things that seem to intend to inhibit team play

[plain gorge]

[supple trout]

New bots are replacing old bots, so everything being perfect the first few days should not be expected

[supple trout]

I'm not employed by EA, I'm a community member who volunteered as moderator here

[plain gorge]

Have fun with all the questions, salute to you

[strong echo]

And that's awesome, I'm glad that you're here engaging with me, truly

None of this is meant to be an insult in the slightest, it's just a major concern that I and I'm sure many other players have with the team based aspect of this game, and this is just kind of the last straw, making it a banable offense to ask somebody to to come join a different server

[supple trout]

That being said, thank you for showing great interest in the recruitment channel. I'll be sure to advocate for it, should EA for some unexpected reason not want to have one (which I doubt)

[strong echo]

That would be greatly appreciated, thank you

[sinful path]

Thank you.

[tidal pilot]

I agree 100% that was my favorite part about Battlefield server recently they removed from forums and now from Discord after taking over.. hopefully the make an alternative and still we get an option for it

[willow grove]

@supple trout my condolences lass but your a pog champ

[west dock]

To but it as bluntly as possible; some clan recruiters were some of the most difficult rule breakers to deal with. Lots refused to follow simple rules and guidelines on posts. When stuff like that happens more strict rules get applied.

[tidal pilot]

Until the next title

[vague breach]

We tried that. Lots of inappropriate things

[potent bear]

Since this discord is getting a dedicated mod team provided by EA that can be more active in rule enforcement, can we get pic and video perms in regular chats since there's now more concrete containing of spam, troll, or toxic posts?

[supple trout]

!!regular

[signal flax]

https://i.imgur.com/KtKdR7y.png

[strong echo]

Thank you for replying, and I'm sure that there's always bad apples, but banning something that's a core part of what makes discord so awesome doesn't seem like the best response to that.

[potent bear]

I've never gotten the regular role

[strong echo]

Cause you didn't make it stricter you just straight up banned it. There's a pretty big difference between the two responses

[supple trout]

Oh it became stricter through the bot

[strong echo]

I'm talking about currently not previously

[supple trout]

Ah yes

[tidal pilot]

Yeah, that been a major concern for me as well ever since the transfer, but they also removed recruitment thread on EA forums as well, idk if they want to have same direction for Discord server too,

Considering Battlefield a fully team based game and the chances you had by making your clan and doing fun clan wars, its pretty sad to see us losing that option,

[fading mesa]

As mentioned, I'd like to say this is probably a stop-gap for now until something more substantial releases.

But I can't confirm.

Cause frankly, we don't know.

[strong echo]

Because currently, if I go make a post in the main battlefield chat, and say "hey the ram clan is looking for players who enjoy vehicle based gameplay and want a group of guys to hang out with", that puts me at risk of being banned

[supple trout]

There was a time period where it became a mess to moderate, so it was removed. It was later reinstated with a different recuitment system entirely (the bot)

[west dock]

When a ton of the recruitment posts are glorifying ww2 related topics you have no other options. That's why our rules were very strict, it kept on happening and the clans were doing everything possible to bypass previous filters added. Didn't matter how many got banned because another member would come in right after continuing it.

[willow grove]

Tho I will add to this tho can the regular role be permitted it’s just that it’s not pog that regular roles gets yeeted after a lad or lads goes inactive for a while

[tidal pilot]

I do get it some games like Call of Duty doesn't have but again, they are not team based game like Battlefield and usually are tactical shooters which doesn't have a much point on making clans and teams etc..

Also I do understand if they want people to be more engaged in Battlefield official server but still I hope they leave an alternative for us

[fading mesa]

As previously mentioned, there will probably be a system put in place for recruitment for clans at a later date; I'm sure the team at EA & DICE understand that clans are an integral part of the community.

Would be silly to think otherwise.

[strong echo]

That makes sense and I can appreciate how frustrating it is to deal with people like that. I honestly don't have a solution, I wish I did. I just really don't see how completely banning recruitment is the answer. I'm not sure where the middle ground lies, but I would love to be a part of that if y'all are looking for help as I believe in Battlefield and I love the team based gameplay and I really want this community to be thriving and active.

[west dock]

Recruitment channel was removed now because the bot that managed it was removed from the server. Only option was to close the channel as it would’ve turned into another free for all

[strong echo]

Except for the fact that everything they've done in this game promoted solo play, and then they had to backtrack after community pushback

Again, I know most of y'all are probably not employed by dice/EA, and I'm not trying to bring up the faults of the game, but they do apply to this specific situation

[vague breach]

None of us are

[tidal pilot]

Yeah that is really a big concern, I had my amazing moments on creating clan and doing clan war with fellow community members, those clans events were tons of fun for me and rest of friends we made across Battlefield, even at BF2042,

I hope we get an option in coming future, or until the new Battlefield release,

[strong echo]

OK then why can't y'all allow recruiting then if y'all aren't associated with dice/EA? What you're saying has a two sided face to it

You're saying that EA/dice has a plan but then all the mods here don't work for them? You're not adding up.

[tidal pilot]

Server is transferred to Battlefield officials

[vague breach]

We're no longer here come Monday. Things like recruitment will be in EA's hands

[west dock]

EA is definitely paying attention to this server so as long as you keep criticism and feedback constructive it will be looked at.

[fading mesa]

We are no longer on the moderator staff after this weekend.

We have zero say because EA will be taking over entirely.

[fading mesa]

We do not work for them, no.

We are all volunteers, and have been, since the server opened.

[strong echo]

Then in all kindness, your replies mean nothing. If you have no say whatsoever, why are you pushing back? I posted this here to bring attention to the people who can make the change, not people who have no power or say whatsoever.

The whole purpose of this is to provide feedback for the future of the discord, but none of you have any power to affect that future

[vague breach]

The people who do are also here

[tidal pilot]

True, I really hope they don't take the same direction,

Battlefield should be Battlefield

[willow grove]

idk about anyone here but pretty sure we need this channel on a timer

We need feed back to make the server pog

[fading mesa]

Our replies to you are explaining why the recruitment channel was removed for the time being, as it was a third party bot, not an EA bot, that was managing the recruitment channel, and now that EA is taking over, that bot was removed, thus the closing of the channel.

We can still make suggestions to the EA team as soon to be former staff, but whether or not they agree with those suggestions is another thing entirely.

[strong echo]

In that case thank you. I'll leave it at that.

[potent bear]

Side note: with EA directly taking over this discord and committing their teams to it. Does that mean the next Battlefield will be all in on community feedback and support?

[fading mesa]

You're welcome. 🙂

[supple trout]

No clue, but they have said that discord will be much more utilised for feedback in general than before

[fading mesa]

It looks like it from this text, but, perception can mean many different things.

[willow grove]

I do got another feedback but it might be selfish or rude to those who haven’t but can regular roles have their own channel to yap on (like how the cod server has)

[crystal mist]

Ngl would be cool with ingame content drop from events here if they did that

[fading mesa]

Agree

[dense sun]

i suggest adding recent stat feature to the bot, gives a better overview for players

there is a stat bot that already does it aswell

[vague breach]

What do you mean?

[dense sun]

a bot that shows stats from the moment the recent stat is activated, basically the stat bots that are used in community servers the first time you use / recent player_name it wont show you the stats right away but after that itll start counting the matches that youve played recently/currently and it only shows data for the matches from then on

i can send a screenshot i feel like my explination of it is quite bad

theres overall stats that shows all time stats from every game and recent can show you stats from example the last 2 games youve played

the amount of kills, deaths, kpm, kd

[supple trout]

I believe that data is pulled from tracker network

[vague breach]

(and they don't have the concept of matches sadly)

[dense sun]

wdym?

[dense sun]

yeah

but its just more convinent to have it on a bot

especially after bftrackers update

[vague breach]

BF2042 on Tracker Network doesn't have display matches

[supple trout]

i.e. not something mozzy can implement

[dense sun]

yeah i know it with 42 but bf3 4/1/5 support it

ngl im so sad that 42 doesnt have it

[dense sun]

also why i find it more convinient is that bf tracker you have to check each round individually but recent stats can basically give you a very quick overview on your last game

but also you can like play 3-4 games and then get the overview on the last 3-4 games you played

its just a cool feature to compare your overall stats to recents i think

because for example my first 400 hours on bf1 was like 30fps on a good day and i got really bad stats on those 400 hours so my overall stats are kinda ruined but im getting good recent stats and its just kind of fun to compare the growth

[dense sun]

weapon stats would be cool aswell

[jade fjord]

accurate weapon stats*

[lethal mantle]

And their own VC

[jade fjord]

Regular chat would be insane

[lethal mantle]

Would be nice for us OGs

[fresh ridge]

Fraid #general would never be used again

[plain gorge]

Probably won't happen tbh

[willow grove]

I’m sure some of the wacky characters will still use general

[native marsh]

So is there any way to report users without pinging the mods, like say a person comes into chat and start talking about his awesome new way to earn money using his awesome crypto bank tool with a link to a site that is definitely not a crypto scam, is there going to a ticket system to report those soon?

[deep shard]

Pretty sure they got no automation on moderation due to wanting a personal approach and not bots communicating and managing appeals.

[deep shard]

I guess some cases are obviously unwanted here and moderating could partly be automated to relieve moderation of the BF Discord management.

[west dock]

yes, @subtle dust will be enabled next week

[deep shard]

Nice, Looks interesting.

I guess (folks, )regulairs, Veterans or BF Discord management could vote to manage the cases?

[west dock]

no that will be seen by ea/moderators only

[deep shard]

The system could also proof to be useful to build Bots and automation by using them later on as filters by adding / voting contextually relevant words as we filter out the clutter.
Categories like; Spam, Scam and the many others.
And effectively creating a filter for Discord overall.

[deep shard]

I think that's a good thing, However I can imagine that high server ranked users could assist in first level judgement if or when BF Discord Moderation gets swamped.

I myself aren't very active on chat but am véry active on VoIP and would not mind to spend time on low level first judgement of items as former admin and staff of EA/DICE affiliated community.
Also for me... EA has have the opportunity to copy my real life ID (2016 tho) thus folks would have a guarantee I wouldn't mess about and take it seriously.

[deep shard]

I know EA is managing BF Discord due to having a larger available staff crue and thus has more capacity then DICE to manage Discord thus I suggested in the past to let EA handle it and include DICE as secundair to stay in touch with it's playerbase.

Thus there is likely no need for it.

[prime falcon]

Have a legacy support team for older titles and a channel created under the same idea as well so we can have occasional updates to just maintain the older servers, nothing major, just some needed tweaks. It could work in theory such as this; The channel's name would be 'Battlefield legacy support and feedback' where we'd put in reports of long standing issues in older games like BF4, HL or 1 and the team would release a bi-monthly update or otherwise when needed to ensure the games still run smoothly. Outside of patches, we could also ask for content, for example the BFV pre-order weapons that're as of now permenantly softlocked. The weapons could be made into a bundle along with the howdah shotgun pistol and the C96 international that'd be sold for 7USD$, a dollar for each gun. There's plenty of other uses outside of these initial suggestions to help preserve the remaining multiplayer servers. Hope this idea takes off.

[wind needle]

You know that's not gonna happen

[prime falcon]

Oh gee, maybe that's why I'm uh, I don't know....

suggesting it

[fading mesa]

Remember, all; this is only for feedback related to the discord server, not games.

[prime falcon]

I know, that's only an example of the suggested channel's functionality. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

[fading mesa]

Just wanting to remind everyone, not singling you out. 🙂

[prime falcon]

Still, never hurts to clarify something.

Hope you're having a nice day

[deep shard]

Any game related content can be posted on Battlefield forums and @ Friday Night Battlefield discussions.
The discord is only for discord use overall with the exception of FNB weekly events.
Join them on Friday night, keep in mind it's mostly about 2042.
Legacy support is there in form of Portal, limited yet existent.
Hoping Portal and administrative functionalities will in the future be extended to it's former extensive potential as requested by many thousands of players and those are just the one I listened to myself.

Also I would love to see legacy support...more then available in portal so far.
Thus from this community request Frostbite and older game engine related studio's have released Portal.
Portal is the replacement for Server browser and server hosting.
They had to create a game version and content for available for purchase to allow for publicly available server hosting.
Yes, the options are limited and I miss AdKats RCON and other tools as well that allowed scripting and automation among others with administrative server and player management.

Hoping SQL and other languages will return to BF in future versions of BF Series and it's legacy Portal of which I hope it will be forwarded and continued to ensure legacy games for the long haul.

Missing more legacy content, YES!, I agree it is A LOT of work coding and re-rendering legacy games to be made available in portal.
Yet I can honestly say that even with it's very limited basics portal is a hit, a truly loved successor if one leaves aside what folks are missing.
With other words, Portal 2.0-20 25/26 can be a a real hit if as much legacy content will be made available as possible with ofcourse keeping up quality.

...

[deep shard]

I heard many 10's of thousands complain 2024 was a bust...
I agree on a few points myself despite being a +20K Hours BF veteran and absolutely in love with the series.
All I missed was a more solid hit registrations in the early months of release like many others have mentioned to me.
Besides that more legacy content in portal, what is there is amazing yet I feel with more personal, less loss if (dev) staff and more fluent workflows more content could have been released despite of limited work hours availability internally @ Frostbite/DICE.

But yes, fair point... keep it limited to BF Discord related topics Folks.

Battlefield Series can be discussed on forums, social platforms and for those whom can track and find it....direct emails.

[round hazel]

While I know we've had the art-cinematics channel for a while, I would personally appreciate it if there was one for games other than battlefield too. Simply cause I like seeing and sharing cool photos, and since we discuss other games in the relevant channels I just think it'd be neat

[fading mesa]

I second this

[wind needle]

[lethal mantle]

[prime falcon]

Dude, this isn't the channel for that

[humble briar]

Not feedback but cheers to the years I spent as a mod here during BFV & 2042. The admin/mod team were incredible and it's kinda sad to see the end of an era but hopefully EA can take this and grow from it. Y'all got this!!

[fading mesa]

[willow grove]

That would be pog

[fading mesa]

Guys, let's keep this chat clean.

[willow grove]

Can i suggest a time limit to the channel for things like this

[novel breach]

More community events would be nice

[native marsh]

Add back the starboard for general

It was fun adding stuff there and made general fun when you saw the sort of stuff added

[round flare]

Honestly hope it doesn't change way to drastically

Especially in conversation

[west dock]

Starboard had 20-30 viewers per month in our analytics. Most pointless channel to have. Just takes up space.

[foggy chasm]

To make this discord related, it would be a channel collecting/following events of other battlefield communities and their server announcements.

[simple dawn]

Ngl this whole server kinda has 30 viewers per month

[hushed oak]

Ngl stands for?

[simple dawn]

New gamer lizard

💯

It stands for not gona lie 💀

[deep shard]

Good point, BF stuff can be discussed on discord, as long as in the còrrect channel.
My bad sry, been on VoIP so much and barely on chat it didn't come to mind.

Thanks.

[elfin gust]

@cinder elk Please keep the ability for boosters to Embed in the server and general. That was a much used feature here

[jade fjord]

dont tag him its in the server rules

Bring back the regular voice channels

[elfin gust]

They changed the rules whippy do. I follow OG BF server rules

[storm ridge]

That was in the old rules as well

[elfin gust]

They wasn't even here

[cinder elk]

I was 😉

[elfin gust]

But but... you were so quiet

[cinder elk]

[elfin gust]

Anyways can you still consider this

I feel like our rights to have this should be the same

Since we have been supporting for a long time

[cinder elk]

#general message

It will be the case.

[elfin gust]

I never got that ping so thank you

I should get the regular role soon hopefully since I have been around a bit

[shrewd night]

you already a member bro

[elfin gust]

Regular role isn’t the member role

[shrewd night]

there is no more reg 😦

[lethal mantle]

No more

for now

[leaden mountain]

guys you don't have to unban everyone

[lethal mantle]

They did

[leaden mountain]

yeah they sure did

[lethal mantle]

wtf 😳

L Admin

[leaden mountain]

check Other-Games to see who's back

[prime falcon]

They unbanned everyone?!

That's one of the dumbest things someone could do, outside of trying to give Mike Tyson an earful if it's true

[leaden mountain]

yeah over the years there are some bad eggs already identified, we don't need them unbanned just to be banned again

[lethal mantle]

Mmm 🤔 I see who you talking about. I’m surprised

[round flare]

It's been nearly a year

But I do agree that there are very bad eggs that deserved a perm ban

[shrewd night]

some of them maybe have changed, and to go in and sort out between the thousands of bans might've been a bit much

[novel breach]

yes that would be a great addition

[native marsh]

any reason why cursed_mcdonalds was changed to cursed_fries

[willow grove]

It’s not even McDonalds it’s Burger King

[supple trout]

hence why it was called cursed mcdonalds

[storm ridge]

I was asked to make a mcdonalds one, so I refused in the nicest way possible

[lethal mantle]

Day 5, no legacy regular, no regular… no perms even for server boost

[jade fjord]

Maybe next week

[shrewd night]

maybe next year

😭

[naive oriole]

you don't need a role to signify you're legacy or a mere normal regular. just the sight of thy name should make a non regular shudder with delight and glee

[lethal mantle]

We aren’t special enough, we gotta wait for that update to drop

We know how long they can drop a update

forever

[native marsh]

I wonder who asked

[lethal mantle]

Day 109 still no perms or legacy Regular role

[proper mist]

Gib image perms back plox

[plain gorge]

[jade fjord]

Do they even read this chat

[storm ridge]

I feel ya non-image perms frustrations all over to here

[restive glen]

They probably don't because people are asking for the same goddamn thing over and over.

[prime falcon]

whoa, just like with their games. Getting ignored in real time when requesting bare-bones changes that'll actually make the experience more engaging for us is truly the greatest EA experience there is.

[cobalt holly]

Anyone know why the recruitment channel was deleted?

[shrewd night]

I could be wrong, but perhaps they want to change it, improve it somehow

like they did with the #how-to-report-and-appeal channel etc

[prime falcon]

I've found a good temp solution in the lfg channels by making the squad up requests more broadband and 'recruit' orented, that seemed to do the trick for the time being.

[cobalt holly]

Thank you both for responding

[fading mesa]

#discord-server-feedback message

Read from here down. 🙂

[cobalt holly]

Thank you! So plans to bring it back with a new bot eventually?

[fading mesa]

Unsure. Don't really know EAs plan; hopefully they will bring something together for it.

Whether a new bot, or forums, or just a channel.

[cobalt holly]

Copy. Thanks again

[fading mesa]

No worries. 🙂

[prime falcon]

happy to help, too

[native marsh]

How long till old regs get the regular member role?

[lethal mantle]

[lethal mantle]

Nevermind it’s here

[weary inlet]

[proper mist]

so do only regs get image perms

[lethal mantle]

Regs, staff/dev and legacy mods

[storm ridge]

Do be aware, we do not yet know what getting regular entails. Nobody has said (as far as I know) what is required.

[jade fjord]

a discord account is required

[fresh ridge]

Could we get a more formal answer as to when former regulars get their roles back? While i’ve been joking around with false rage about the time it has taken, it has become slightly frustrating seeing other former regulars obtain their roles back while I and other people such as FG, lego, and the like are just left with zero information as to why everyone else is getting it yet we don’t. I’m not asking for you guys to rush us ahead of the line should there be one, but i would like to at least know why we are still waiting.

[jade fjord]

truly rigged

[proper mist]

apprently its gonna take some time, from what I've heard and been told my perception is that EA has gone in and basically gutted the entire server on the back end and are rebuilding it

[fresh ridge]

That’s rough

[vernal helm]

Sounds Awesome!

[prime falcon]

Why didn't they just do that before the takeover with test channels and post an update with an 'everyone' ping in the server news channel and then implement said changes immediately?

Nothing here is streamlined in the slightest and it's causing massive server-wide stagnation due to the fact it's taken the better part of a week just to add a marginal percentage of what was here previously. Within reason I understand they need time to get things done the right way but still, this should've been done more effectively.

[fading mesa]

[prime falcon]

We silently judge EA's descisions most of the time, their lack of care and proper planning for this server being one of them.

[crystal mist]

Idk if you trolling or not but this exact channel you are typing in should show they care 🤷 🤔

[storm ridge]

I doubt many have experience of switching huge Discord servers from one complete setup to another completely different one while retaining roles etc. Also, bots going through 100.000+ users multiple time to do role stuff just takes time I would imagine - the few who have made a Discord bot that does anything like it on a huge scale will probably know that.

Also, the switch is well placed in the well known downtime between games.

It's easy to be overlycritical of what one don't understand is what I'm saying I guess.

[prime falcon]

a small pinch of fun poking.

[prime falcon]

No, I understand perfectly fine how complex such a task is. It's just EA usually rushing things out in unfinished states is what I'm doing a jab at. Par for the course and all.

[storm ridge]

Feedback: Add Zeppelin emoji to server

[prime falcon]

Or better yet just have one of the legacy mods rp as him

[west dock]

This wasn’t a rushed task at all, was in the works for months. Another example of how a typical server user has no idea of what goes on behind the scenes.

[prime falcon]

well it'd be nice to have some sort of communication about these things at the very least. This channel's a good start don't get me wrong but the server's stagnation all joking aside's due to the lack getting image/link permissions previously. Here's hoping the new server formatting would make it a more clear process.

[west dock]

I don’t imagine image permissions being high on the priority list, there’s lots of behind the scenes things to sort out… way more than will ever be explained here. Not being able to post gifs for a couple weeks isn’t the end of the world.

[fading mesa]

But muh gifz

[shrewd night]

I think it was partly that some people started getting it, and then for like a day nobody else did

nobody wanna feel like they lost their perm's or anything

[fresh ridge]

Aye that was exactly the issue i had. I was fine when there was no regular but all of a sudden people are getting regular again and here you are with no clue why you aren’t

Just a simple “a bot is adding roles, will take a few days to get everyone” would have been nice and quelled my frustrations

[fading mesa]

It was stated. In a pinned message by t0tal.

#general message

And here

#general message

[jade fjord]

that sounds good

big W

[fresh ridge]

Those tell me that regular was coming back and that there would be some changes to how it is kept and taken. We were aware regular was coming back and i while i made joking frustrations in #general, i only came here and seriously complained when people were getting regular and yet some members weren’t

I’m not bitching about not being a regular for a few days, i’m bitching that people were regaining their roles back and for the rest of us weren’t told why they have theirs back and we still waited

[fading mesa]

Total was going through the list of regulars, one at a time, and assigning the roles.

Not everything can happen immediately.

[fresh ridge]

Hey and that’s all i wanted to hear

[fading mesa]

T0tal is only human.

[fresh ridge]

As i said, i just wanted an explanation as to what’s specifically happening

[elfin gust]

I see

So why don't I have regular hmm? I have been around for a while and active in VCs more than text

So same statement goes as above. I can see the pain of going through everyone

[fading mesa]

Did you have regular when the server transitioned? If not, then you don't get it.

[elfin gust]

Not at the time but I will get it soon I hope

But if they just said they will be adding it back soooo that means it must of been discontinued between the time I got here and up till now

So I don't know how much the server has changed

[fading mesa]

Again; read the messages I linked.

[prime falcon]

Maybe add a legacy feedback channel so there could be updates for older titles that'd tweak long standing issues such as glitches and weapon imbalences.

[wind needle]

Atleast suggest something realistic

[restive glen]

The old games are done done KEK.

[prime falcon]

Isn't it? BF1's still going strong with an average of 7k players daily from what I've seen on PSN alone.

[fleet tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-confused-gif-15712129875520007531

[prime falcon]

Which still pains me because many people still played them and had amazingly strong numbers, instead of killing their legacy DICE should've killed the game no one wanted at all, 2042. Take the budget for that game and just resell the original games' campaigns and multiplayer as a current generation bundle.

[lethal mantle]

If you know dice. If you don’t, well they don’t do any remasters or remakes or whatever you all it. Would be dope to see. But it also requires a lot of time to remake it from ground up again for new gens.

Set of making a brand new game in the franchise

[prime falcon]

Not even a remaster, just a port of the original games, with some tweaks to gameplay like adding sprinting to the older titles and having some accessibility features too with more bindable control schemes. Sort of like the Battlefront Classic Collection. But with Battlefield. Maybe some aditional patches to fix long standing bugs.

[lethal mantle]

Why do all of that when they just continue making new games and content for their current game?

[prime falcon]

It'd be doable, but given the cost of just modernizing the code and ensuring it's stable is the main reason why I'd say it'd be quite the task, but if enough of us ask for it, maybe we'll get a 'bad company collection definitive edition' for PS4/5 and XBO/SS that could be cross platform.

[prime falcon]

because on top of that, they'd be able to keep legacy titles alive and still make money off of it. Imagine have the rent a server feature from BF4 onwards but with 1942, or Battlefield 2?

They'd make more money that way because not only would it be the initial sale of a game like that, it'd also be passive income from rented servers.

[lethal mantle]

That’s alot of reverse engineering tbh. Relearn the game, codes and ect. They are used to new engine, game and codes

Also Star Wars collection is made by other people. Not the OG dev team themselves

[prime falcon]

Well if the OG BF3 was released we'd not have to worry about Pandemic going under, selling star wars to disney was one of the worst trade deals in history.

[lethal mantle]

If, wym if. It been dropped and worked on ages ago

[prime falcon]

Battlefront 3, it was set to come out and was almost done but since EA got the star wars liscense and disney owned star wars we never got the third game and thus Pandemic studios was shut down and then bought up by EA as well only to later be disolved entirely

[lethal mantle]

SW BF3 isn’t a thing

[prime falcon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRiH1byxzQ

[lethal mantle]

I guess it was a thing

Mmm 🤔 interesting

[prime falcon]

the game was so close to being finished too! Rebellion picked up the scraps and made a DS and PSP version of it to salvage what they could

[lethal mantle]

Sucks due to license reasons. Hopefully we see a 3rd one in the reboot series. That will be years from now

[prime falcon]

Or you know, just polish off the original SWBF3 and release it on the PS3/XB360 and current gen consoles. It was 98% finished and whomever has the rights to SW for games now should just finish it.

[native marsh]

Question about regular role, will it be like the old regualr rules?

or are you planning on changing it?

[lucid ridge]

there was different rules for that?

interesting

[native marsh]

No I'm asking if it'll follow different rules

like I meant, how would other users who just joined be able to get it?

[pallid skiff]

where is the recruitment page? I see it's gone but when will it be back?

[lucid ridge]

Hi that was maintained by us when we were in charge, as we're not in charge anymore the bot maintaining it is gone!
Good feedback though, that would definitely benefit making friends to play with 👏

[prime falcon]

Agreed, and we don't even need a bot anyways, we could just keep the same concept, fill out a copy/paste template and then post it. with a 6hr cooldown to prevent spam

[pallid skiff]

clans too

[pallid skiff]

vouch

[lucid ridge]

I personally would love to see this channel as forums channel so you could see by reactions what gets popular and what doesn't

[prime falcon]

Or at the very leaqst let us talk in the forums channel, there's like 20 of them and they're all closed off

[lucid ridge]

those are old posts about game feedback

[dense sun]

recently checked it was 25k on steamcharts alone

on pc ofc

[prime falcon]

noice

[dense sun]

pretty crazy though pc has roughly 3x more players than console just by steamcharts alone

[lethal mantle]

Not including EA app

[dense sun]

ye exactly

thats just steamcharts

went off-topic there though sorry

[prime falcon]

Still, bf1 seeing such high activity even 8 years later should be cause to make a support channel for it.

[dense sun]

What support would you want to give it?

[prime falcon]

A legacy of life update to fix minor desync issues with shots not registering, reduce the threshold to start a server from 20 people down to 4 like in BF4 and HL to increase server activity, reduce the price of all DLC to 5USD, the Premium Pass down to 15USD and the main game to 20USD on digital to entice new people to come into the game for a 35USD dollar price, add a 8USD weapon bundle of all the BFV pre-order guns, melee weapons and the C96 international along with the howdah shotgun pistol. Also balance the SMG08's fire rate to what it was initially with a 2% increase of damage, make the Martini Grenade launcher function as an impact grenade with 350% damage boost to regular grenade, make all double barrel shotgun variants register the double shot as one shot instead of a two shot burst of both barrels firing one after another. Outside of all this the only thing I can think of is making the spectator mode filters applicable to the main game in display settings to give the game a better look.

[dense sun]

Doesnt need any rebalance imo

[prime falcon]

I will quite literally throw money at DICE, for the 8USD weapon bundle

[prime falcon]

The Martini henry grenade launcher doesn't do jack shit, it's too weak because of the flack perks.

[dense sun]

Hitreg is more likely to be client side not server sided (idk about console)

[dense sun]

Id scrape my scalp off if i got killed by splash damage from henry launcher

Nade spam is enough of a problem in 1

[prime falcon]

it's an elite kit, it's meant to actually be useful, same issue with the dreadnaughts, they disolve into shredded cheese and do no damage.

[prime falcon]

The crossbow launcher fires twice the speed of the martini grnade launcher

[dense sun]

It is really good alr imo

[dense sun]

Its twice as more cancerous aswell

Id uninstall lol

If anything lessen grenade spam

[prime falcon]

There's still money to be made with BF1, and hell, do you have any idea how many people would buy a weapon pack of all the previously cut content? Almost everyone I talk to on PSN at least says they'd pay for these guns and the incursions melee weapon if they were sold as a bundle. DICE needs a steady income to compensate the losses of BFV and 2042, lowering the prices of BF1, it's dlcs/season pass along with adding a weapon pack dlc would bring in 53USD if it's a new player, that'd not only be enticing because of the price, but also due to the weapons being sold, it'd both bring new players in along with their money but also old players back to play with newer guns.

[prime falcon]

It's one gun, for the elite kit, the tank hunter gets three grenades and the flametrooper gets three fire grenades too

Maybe even give BF1 a 'next gen' upgrade too. Metro Exodus did it and it's amazing.

[dense sun]

Eh idk

[agile veldt]

Was just wondering what happened to the clans looking for members section?

[fading mesa]

#discord-server-feedback message

[agile veldt]

TY.

[proper mist]

gib image perms back plox

[lilac sandal]

I post a PSA for a server I created in BF4, then I got a message from the discord bot saying my message was reported

I need a mod to verify why this is the case

Is this not the Battlefield discord?

No @mod role or @owner for discord

I don’t mean to come off as rude but how do you plan on running a community without any direct channel for support?

“Legacy members” is not a mod list

[vague breach]

#how-to-report-and-appeal

[fading mesa]

Can we get a ticket made to appeal warnings/mutes, to be looked over, if there is a legitimate argument to be made against the warning or mute?

[prime falcon]

Why wasn't that a thing from the start?

[fading mesa]

I have zero clue. I don't make the decisions. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[prime falcon]

Still, quite the oversight. Hope we get a legacy support channel so we can get legacy of life updates for BF3, 4, HL, 1 and maybe V.

[vague breach]

I assume things can be appealed in #how-to-report-and-appeal

Also, older games 99% will not get touched unless it's new anti-cheat or something completely breaks

oh nvm I just read the channel

[fading mesa]

Yeah, no appeals allowed.

Lol

[shrewd night]

not having the right to appeal is pretty terrible

[prime falcon]

silly billy forgot that this is the feedback channel, for giving feedback in the channel about the server.

[vague breach]

just lowering your expectations

[prime falcon]

After twenty fortypoo I got none left

Honestly if the next one even works at all that'd be 50USD I owe someone, we've taken bets on weather or not it'll even be functional, let alone good.

[fickle loom]

@fading mesa

@prime falcon @pizz

[prime falcon]

why are you pinging me?

[prime falcon]

There's no feedback channel for games themselves yet so I'll put this here, it's an insanely detailed fan mod that fixes historical inaccuracies in Battlefield 1; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFm-XWifajk

[lethal mantle]

It’s a video game

[fresh ridge]

While I was expect there will be a return of the star board for #screenshots-and-clips, I would like to propose a new board. I believe there should be a board dedicated to shaming people with terrible photography in the hopes that they either learn to get better or lose hope and give up. I believe the addition of this channel would lead to the long term betterment of photo quality in #screenshots-and-clips

Some people take terrible photos and I think it’s for their sake just as much as ours that we have a place to “guide” them

[jade fjord]

The new mods can‘t even handle the current cinematic channel

[fresh ridge]

And that is why it is up to us

Unfortunately you can’t report someone for taking shit photos and that needs to change

[lunar kelp]

Let us appeal warnings. Half the time i'm being warned for swearing or screwing around with someone, and I don't think it's fair to have that reflect on me when I don't believe it's warranted.

[shrewd night]

not being able to at least appeal would be EA acting as if they could do nothing wrong, which is of course not true and I don't think they believe that either

so being able to appeal in some is certainly important

[fresh ridge]

I disagree with that. So far EA has made zero mistakes so far in the handling of the server

[shrewd night]

that's not the point

the point is that nobody is infallible, the reason why support systems/forums etc have ways to appeal is because admins and moderators make mistakes, nobody is perfect

so to not prepare for at least making a hasty decision or missing a piece of information and making a mistake in moderation would be strange

[storm ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-good-place-nobodys-perfect-pobodys-nerfect-oh-well-perfect-gif-12563652

[shrewd night]

even if they dont have to use it, they should have one, they arent skynet

[prime falcon]

That people still play and devote their time to.

[native marsh]

Can you give regs permission to start activities

[native marsh]

or give to every member since, it allows people to do stuff in general VC and have fun with poker night or other activities

[prime falcon]

Since there's no channel that's more fitting for this, why not release a Battlefield 1 Vinyl collection?

Give us the base game and DLC soundtracks on Vinyl records? I'd drop a phat 50USD for that.

[fading mesa]

Chaos will reign.

[native marsh]

Or people will have fun

Being able to play poker night

[fading mesa]

There is no way to moderate it.

Especially for this mod team.

[native marsh]

Alright, but what about only giving it to regulars

[fading mesa]

It isn't like it's community ran anymore.

[native marsh]

I understand but do you support giving it to regulars?

[fading mesa]

Not here, no.

[fresh ridge]

So when can we expect some responses from EA here? Cause so far we’ve seen virtually nothing. So far the only people responding 99 percent of the time is legacy mods and admins, which works ok for the most part, but when two people have brought up you can’t appeal warns, an official response seems quite important

Paaaaaarticularly since this is an official server now

[lunar kelp]

I've even asked a mod in a support ticket while reporting someone else.

The mod did not respond, simply closed my ticket.

Should be noted that the mods don't seem to have the EA tags at all.

[fresh ridge]

So far this change feels like it has done nothing but neuter the server for no good reason, while EA just immediately buggers off

But I of course am just a humble discord member, who has no clue how to run a server and has no clue of the current struggles going on

[lunar kelp]

I mean i've moderated relatively large discords before. Answering questions should not be this hard, especially when they are only about the discord server itself.

Which they have control of.

[fresh ridge]

Yeah I’m being severely sarcastic

I look forward to an official response

[cinder elk]

1. We have no current intention for regulars to receive start activity permissions.
2. We're looking into the appeal process. Expect more word on this when possible, but we're aiming to have it exist** for some rule breaks.**
3. We'll also be looking into reworking this area into a forum style, since it will offer up more guidance on submitting suggestions rather than the favourite discussion of moderation.

And this is the final reminder, this area is for offering up any suggestions about the Battlefield Discord. It is not a place to be testing the moderation team, and will only result in sanctions and warnings. The intent of this server is to offer up an environment where people can talk and discuss all things Battlefield that is where the focus should be.

[jade fjord]

Maybe the #screenshots-and-clips channel should be renamed to cinematics/clips since no mod was able to clean the channel since EA took over. Or are they still ,,investigating'' like i was told in my ticket

[willow grove]

I thought it was a new channel I just wanna see cinematic pics not gameplay clips
But yea also having a gameplay/clips channel would be nice for those that want to post it

[jade fjord]

it is what it is

now the mods need to do less than before

[digital pawn]

i made a video of battlefield 1, how do i get permission to post it in the #streams-and-videos channel

[prime falcon]

The #rules channel isn't visible on my screen unless I hashtag it like this message.

[fading mesa]

Make sure it's visible. Click "Channels and Roles", click the "All Channels" tab, make sure it's clicked.

[prime falcon]

Ah, thanks. Appreciate it.

[languid vessel]

right click "channels & roles" and check "show all channels" for more quality of life

[upbeat ingot]

Any reason why the recruitment tab was deleted?

[fading mesa]

#discord-server-feedback message

Read from here down. 🙂

[prime falcon]

Why's it an issue if the bot isn't an EA bot if it works?

[vague breach]

I am no longer maintaining the bot

If they plan on adding similar functionality, they will. Just keep the feedback here and we'll see

[prime falcon]

Pity, it was really useful, instead of you maintaining it, why didn't they just have you train someone else to keep it?

[upbeat ingot]

We need it back it helps keep the games alive with Scrims, group games or even milsim!

[vague breach]

It's open source if they want to use it

[prime falcon]

It's how I was able to get people into my platoon and help me preserve BF1 on PSN.

[bronze flume]

Bring back Siege of Shanghai

[proper mist]

Mr T0TAL i would like to make some suggestions here

1. I think that those who were boosting the server before the takeover should get embed perms back especially for those who hadn't achieved the regular perk because its feels like we have been robbed of our embed without fair compensation or just reasoning and it really has rubbed some the wrong way as some had used their free boosts on this server which can now be considered wasted, I understand that you are against the idea of boosting to attain permissions and the server has enough boosts as is, and is a verified server. Since the legacy mods have a role to acknowledge their roles for the past years could there be a way to introduce a legacy booster role.

2. The new Mods need to be publicly shown within the member list, having an anonymous mod team does not help with transparency and could lead to corruption within the team, that's not to say nobody trusts the moderators as the previous team had done quite well its just to say that it has happened on other sites cough cough, twitch and whos to say it cant happen here. Now I don't mean to come off as harsh but if a mod abuses their powers or makes some wonky calls they deserve to be publicly named and shamed for their actions.

[fading mesa]

That last part is exactly why they are not shown in the list.

Nobody deserves to be harassed for doing anything.

[proper mist]

It is a bit of a grey area and yeah I was second guessing when I sent it, and consider that last bit retracted. But my concerns remain transparency is needed.

[fading mesa]

Can't tell you how many times me, or other members of the legacy mod team, were harassed & threatened over mod actions taken, and not even by us, but by other members on the team.

It's not even okay in the slightest.

[proper mist]

Agreed. Like I said I was second guessing it and worded it pretty poorly as from my experience you and the other mods done a fine job and I never saw any abuse hurled towards the Mods though idk about dms but that's a private matter

[cinder elk]

I was under the impression that this was still in place, I will have a look.

But again, it is our stance that people should not be paying their own money in order to benefit / gain something. While I admire the show of support that boosting a server does, I really don't feel comfortable in it when it comes to a server (or game) of this scale.

[cinder elk]

The Moderation Team are actually a professional team of individuals that are paid to do this, they are not individuals that volunteer their time, nor do they really have the capacity to be abusive or selective in their power.

They all adhere to a certain matrix that defines what type of incident gets what punishment, and we as the Battlefield Community Team also review and provide routes of growth based on those actions.

It is in within no ones interests to have dialog with these individuals, or to know who they are - that's to not only protect them, but to also remove the obstacle of constant discussion around moderation.

The whole aim of this is to have it so that people are focusing less on moderators, and more on game, community, discussing great stuff within Battlefield. If people are doing those things, then the thought of moderators - or their actions - would not even be a second thought.

[willow grove]

Can we have a art channel

[jade fjord]

The mods couldn't handle the last one, i doubt that its gonna work

[fading mesa]

Nah, we did handle it; just got monotonous. Nobody read the pinned messages

[jade fjord]

Yes the old mods did handle it

but not the new ones

thats why the channel purpose was changed now

[proper mist]

That has actually surprised me that the mods are paid, as I said to revelation my last sentence was in poor taste and I got carried away and let some venom through and I extend my apologies for that poor behaviour. But thanks for letting the community know more about how the new moderation works.

[lethal mantle]

Imagine being paid to mod a server

[proper mist]

hell yea

free money

[lethal mantle]

Fr tho. Ez job to

[neat pawn]

Wheres the clan recruitment channel?

[real rover]

how to get permission to post it in the ⁠streams-and-videos channel (Need Help) ????

[lucid ridge]

The channel was maintained by a bot that we made when we ran the server, the bot is not here to maintain the channel anymore, so the channel would have became useless

[lucid ridge]

Check out the Channels and Roles section :)

[prime falcon]

Why not just have a copy/paste template in a channel bio for recruitment and put a six hour delay for it.

[neat pawn]

Bros high iq my hero

[lethal mantle]

He’s a legacy admin. He don’t have those perms anymore

[prime falcon]

A suggestion that'd remedy the issue would still be applicable to get posted here no?

[native marsh]

A suggestion, a temporary way to appeal till you get the permanent solution

Like something quick till the other one comes up

[proper mist]

Mr Total could we get a meme channel or would that be too much of a hassle to moderate?

[fading mesa]

I can tell you, it's too much to moderate

[lethal mantle]

Battlefield memes

Be close the community, give us more ways to be active in the server. Ob to a certain extent.

[prime falcon]

Fix the 'regular' role, I've been in the server about a year and STILL don't have link or image permissions

Please.

[proper mist]

ok ill cross that off the list then

[shrewd night]

at the very least they should say how it works these days

when do people get perms/regular

[prime falcon]

It's been eighty-four years

[prime falcon]

Maybe it's DLC

[shrewd night]

I tink that perhaps they dont know what to do yet, which is a bit worrying : )

[prime falcon]

Everyone lived together in harmony, but then everything changed when corperate took over avatar the last airbender theme

[slender radish]

hi i just came across this section and wanted to bring up some stuff:

the first would be having a educational channel where people can talk or share stuff to help fellow new players to develop their game knowledge / sense and skills

[ancient nest]

anyone even banning cheaters? the guy about 2 week cheating non stop at Portal 1000% hardcore match and still not banned. even now he is online and cheating!

[proper mist]

not the right channel

[prime falcon]

All the actual direct communication channels are blocked off to us so there's no better options really.

[dense sun]

pretty crazy lol

esp if its good pay aswell

[deep shard]

Good suggestion, I vote plus one.
However more activity on voice channels would also make it redundant / unnecessary to a degree.

[deep shard]

Sounds like a clan/community managed server.
Please contact the admin if this is the case.
Record and report discretely, public shame comes with educating fame.
If one mentions it in public anywhere you learn cheaters to do a better job hiding it.

Be a defender, Record, report (with time stamps) and keep media private yet available to moderators and admins.

[deep shard]

Plus one, I think that is (likely) correct.

I would not mind to be a EA Admin @BF Series Server and or Discord moderator (volunteer) in the future.
Likely will never take a paycheck in return for it.

[deep shard]

Agreed.

[deep shard]

One can create art in he form of Gameplay (stream) video edits, there is a channel for that.

[deep shard]

I have had over hundreds of how-to asked/requested permissions from users since active @BF Series official Discord.

[deep shard]

Several including myself have missed it.

[deep shard]

If re-introduced, good suggestion.

[willow grove]

in video thats called cinematic videos

little things makes a huge difference

and also we got #streams-and-videos

[fossil delta]

I think you should add a #media share channel for battlefield related media, memes etc.

Also a #community creations channel forum for things people made about battlefield, like art, and other stuff

[jade fjord]

@fossil delta all that stuff belongs into #screenshots-and-clips

[slender radish]

still guys we can use a #educational where we can post everything around educating other players either by EA self or by content creators dropping their posts

or a mix or 2 diff channels each dedicated channels

[fossil delta]

does a minecraft map built by hand based on battlefield count as art?

[jade fjord]

sure

[leaden mountain]

content creators? educating people? what?

[slender radish]

exactly cats

[leaden mountain]

if I need content creators to educate me about anything then society has failed

[slender radish]

never too late to learn something or check something to learn more especially for the newer players

i mean i just played tonight with a young fella who just played one of his first matches of bf2042

and on the contrary, where did you learn a big portion of what you know based on the foundation that school and your parents thought you aswell as your friends giving advice so society is not failing again stated on the contrary sharing information to grow as a person is uplifting society

[deft galleon]

I think it would be fun to add this christmas themed discord bot. You have to grow a christmas tree with the community https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1050722873569968128&permissions=0&scope=bot applications.commands

[willow grove]

a shame that the art channel will eventually be that

[viral helm]

Hi guy's! A seriously good event! The soundtrack is orchestral and amazing, the skins look so good and the darker spookier themes for the maps are pretty solid! Really hopeful for the next game! Great job it makes me spend money! Keep on whatever you're doing!

[jade fjord]

This server really needs more moderators Are there even any EU mods?

[slender radish]

yeah i agree'

not only mods but also a redesign

and partnerships with for example the battlefield wiki

and more communication with content creators to like promote the game

by using EA official channels to expand the playerbase thru content creator stuff and more

also like maybe partner up with twitch n stuff to like bring more attention to the game

[outer dragon]

How do you post in the streams and videos channel? It says read the pinned comment to read the rules but what does that mean. What pinned message?

[native marsh]

Fix tenor gif not embedding

[agile veldt]

Clan recruitment section should return

[shrewd night]

I think EA stopped caring about this discord

they dont care anymore about adding systems for clan recruitment and for adding some sort of "regular" status for new players, and embedding gifs for them etc

[prime falcon]

It's been about a year of me being here, when will I get 'regular' role and are we ever getting platoon recruitments back?

[prime falcon]

Agreed, it was great but EA loves to ruin eveything that isn't broken. It's like a kid sees a vase and thinks 'that should be shattered'

[buoyant wyvern]

They got rid of platoon support in 2042 why would they care about clans lol

[agile veldt]

Who said it had to be for 2042? The previous section allowed recruitment for all BF games. And just because there is no platoon system in 2042 doesn't mean you can't put a group together.....

[buoyant wyvern]

I didn't say it had to be, why get so hostile lol.

I'm a BFV group leader currently with 70 members

I was making a joke, calm down

[agile veldt]

I'm not hostile. Was just answering to what you said. I don't even run clans anymore. But it's a good section to have for those looking to promote their groups and for those maybe looking to join a group.

[buoyant wyvern]

I agree, but like I said dice has different opinions obviously by removing it

Or whoever is controlling this discord

[shrewd night]

its EA

but i think they mainly dont care yet, maybe waiting for next BF to be announced

[prime falcon]

If they can't even run a discord server properly then what hope does anything else they touch have?

[tribal lotus]

Admins can we please have a better breakdown of the voice channels? Maybe into REGIONS/SERVER for easier grouping without having to scroll through LFG.

[deft galleon]

Hi,
I had a fun idea for the finals discord server, made a christmas themed bot where the goal is to grow a tree with the community. Everyone can water it but only once in a row. The more you water it the higher it grows. It has fun minigames, daily rewards and soon a advent calendar to keep the users engaged.
Its a slash command bot with basically 0 permissions. So no weird studf can happen. Currently over 2100 trees have been planted 🙂

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1050722873569968128

A new feature was added, tree styles, which give the tree a certain style. It would be possible to develop a specific style for the battlefield server to theme it accordingly

[cinder elk]

Great suggestion and we'll note it down for the next refresh!

[prime falcon]

Can we have a clear indicator on how to get 'regular' role? I've been here an entire year without it and it's getting rather old that I can't so much as send an image.

Also how about a feature request channel for in-game tweaks or content ideas?

[cinder elk]

Regular roles were given to individuals that were caught on our lists during the transition phase. As it stands there will be no further handing out of the role until next year. What I will say is, it isn't defined by a length of time - it is about how you conduct yourself, and there will be changes and clarity next year around this too.

The aim is for it not to be a coolcat club or clique of individuals flexing on others, and the rights that you're referring to will become more fair to attain.

Again - we haven't spoke on it because it is not being given out. More next year.

[cinder elk]

No plans for this with Battlefield 2042 at the moment, but perhaps the next one. 😉

[lunar kelp]

I appreciate the total deleting of my thoughts about moderation on this server.

I thought this is where the thoughts were supposed to go.

Why even have a feedback channel if you're going to delete the feedback.

Y'know what, i'll repost it.

Why do the moderation hide from the public? Why do they have empty accounts and only speak through copy pasted statements in support tickets? Why is moderation inconsistent, or in some cases, absolutely non-existent? I am having trouble believing that the EA Takeover™️ has been beneficial to the server when it seems that it has only made moderation slower, less active, less consistent, and less reliable.

How can I trust people who don't actually exist in the community to moderate this server effectively? They seem to be incapable of dealing with problems that aren't clear and blatant, and even attempting to explain context about problematic individuals to them directly does not seem to matter, as they only seem to be concerned with judging things based on a rigid and unknown set of guidelines that frankly make no sense, I have never seen any one be tempbanned on this server except for myself and MG42, and we were tempbanned for the crime of yapping on this very channel. I've seen people get muted for posting memes, yet people who are even a little but subtle with their disruptions are not effected at all.

I get warned for answering a question someone asked me about climate change, a topic triggered by the very setting of Battlefield 2042, yet a conversation about foreign policy in the Middle East in General goes unmentioned/unpunished. I've been told that the modeation monitor the chats, I am very much doubtful of that claim, it seems that they only take action on something if it's mentioned in a support ticket, because I believe the employees in charge of moderation only look at them, rather than the communities they're tasked with looking over.

I speak of Moderators specifically, because pinging staff is not allowed as per the rules, so I don't consider pinging anyone with an employee role to be an acceptable measure for getting someone's attention, because if it was, why would there be a rule against it.

Not that that seems to work anyway, even if I ping someone from the EA Community Team, because apparently it was not within her hours, despite the fact that she was online at the time.

I am giving you feedback. Take it.

[jade fjord]

The mods are totally gonna delete it again, how dare you critizise them! This is not allowed on this server. They are perfect and make no mistakes

[lethal mantle]

They get paid to ban/warn you. And delete feedback

[prime falcon]

Thanks for the clarity on the 'Regular Role' and the fun little teaser for what comes next.

[prime falcon]

"Bias and bullshit is our goal" seems to be the case. Because I called out BFV's horrid historical censorship numerous times and had no repercussions from it. Maybe it was how you formatted your statements? Phrasing could be key to this. Just my angle on it. There's still a fair bit of bias over all you're not wrong on that.

[lunar kelp]

Regardless of how my statements are formatted, they are my thoughts and I am giving feedback. I am not convinced that the way I am phrasing my thoughts makes it not count as feedback.

[lethal mantle]

^that is true. its called Feedback for a reason

as long its not of the top and overboard. which the feedback isnt

[prime falcon]

I'm not saying that for certain, just a shot in the dark guess at best really.

[native marsh]

Add a command that allows users to message a LFG bot post instead of having to link all three in one post

[green sphinx]

Any thoughts on bring back the recruitment section?

[prime falcon]

no clue why they axed it

Can't even run a damned discord server right

[chrome ledge]

I thought this was worked out awhile ago?

[native marsh]

It was, but when EA took over, they removed it

[chrome ledge]

Oh, I see. I hadn't paid attention to that since I was barely going into LFG, but I guess there have been some updates I was not tracking.

[shrewd night]

mods so asleep a guy posts an obvious virus but 1 ½ hours later link is still up

[fading mesa]

Report the message.

[jade fjord]

This server really needs mods from EU

[shy oracle]

This server needs a Batman mod lmao haha

[prime falcon]

Give us back the recruitment channel, it's neigh impossible to find people to squad with outside of the basically dormant 'lfg psn' channel that barely anyone uses. Or at the very least allow us to talk about our discord servers if it pertains to our battlefield platoons.

It baffles me that EA is so incompetent that the 'official moderators' are so out of touch as to how difficult it is to even maintain contact or get any confirmation we're heard at all with our suggestions, complaints or anything else. The Legacy mods were great because not only were they chill but they also responded to issues and feedback openly and within a timely manner. Why the legacy moderators weren't at the very least rotated out slowly after getting the new ones up to speed is beyond me. Too many eager bevers overcorrecting at every minor turn where such enforcement isn't needed.

[fading mesa]

[lunar kelp]

The moderation here really does not beat the "Only care about something if it's in a support ticket" allegations, to be honest.

And even if it's in a support ticket, god damn will they sometimes take their time with it.

[prime falcon]

Why the hell do they need tickets when there's audit bots that log our postings anyways? It's beyond stupid how lazy and unprepared EA's 'moderators' are. You'd stand a better chance of watching fifty eclipses in your lifetime than you'd stand seeing anyone make a smart decision with this server these days.

All the 'feedback' channels for 2042 are closed off, really not selling the whole 'we care about open communication' lie they've been pedaling.

[prime falcon]

you know our pain and have my respect for being a real one.

[prime falcon]

@stone arch

[leaden mountain]

@gray geyser got timed out for a week because he forwarded a message from the direct communication channel to the 2042 channel to answer someone's question. Can someone look into this?

[fading mesa]

[fading mesa]

I'll forward that.

[cinder elk]

Hey there, thanks for this. It has been removed and I'll look into how that happened.

• Kev.

[gray geyser]

The message I attempted to forward was an embedded message and I feel like maybe the server thought I was trying to circumvent the role restrictions or something... which I guess is technically true but wasn't the intention

[lunar kelp]

Again, moderation here not really beating the "Doesn't pay attention to anything unless it's in a Support Ticket" allegations.

Bot just swept through, posted the same shit in every single accessible channel. Getting close to 30 minutes and they're still there.

Like, in a server that has their shit together this would be a non-issue, i'd just ping a mod and boom, they'd be gone.

But there are no mods.

At least not visibly.

Because they're all empty discord accounts that do nothing but wait for support tickets and copypaste three statements before closing them.

half an hour now, they're still here.

In fact, account's been here for 10 days. Never said a thing before now.

Does anyone actually read this stuff, by the way?

Like, anyone who actually makes decisions about the server?

[jade fjord]

probably not until next bf releases tbh, they took over the server and abandoned it

[lunar kelp]

Someone must've made a ticket, because the messages are gone now.

Still, 40/50 minutes, geez.

Why even have this channel? Doesn't seem like any of the feedback gets taken.

Hell, deleting the feedback seems more likely.

Either that or getting tempbanned for talking.

While i'm yapping, I'll also mention that mentioning the nation that someone lives in is not harassment, and I don't know why it was ever considered reasonable to mute me for 3 days for doing so.

I don't care that my appeal for that was technically accepted, I wanna know why that warranted more severe punishment than several things that i've reported people for.

The moderation here makes no god damn sense is what i'm trying to say and i've said this before but again, it's not like anyone reads this shit.

[lunar kelp]

This server really needs mods*

[jade fjord]

Or just active ones

[lunar kelp]

Any actual mods at all, really.

I don't consider the current ones that look at the tickets and copypaste statements to count.

[shrewd night]

some people on server are probably glad there arent more mods. I see some users disrespect and insult others almost on a daily basis and they are still here

[prime falcon]

WE NEED OUR REAL MODERATORS BACK, DICE AND EA FUCK UP ALL THEY TOUCH!

Didn't mean to make the text that big, but the point still stands.

[prime falcon]

General shit talking's a two way street the mods understand. But really bad stuff gets mutes, warnings or bans issued.

[fading mesa]

Yep, just gotta report them.

Thats the only way that'll stop.

[fading mesa]

A majority, if not all of us, don't want to come back, and I don't blame them. Y'all don't listen anyways. 🤣

[royal hare]

Do they read tickets? Tried a few times with something and never heard back

[fading mesa]

They do, and you get a transcript of the interaction.

[royal hare]

I do get the transcripts, but it reads as though a bot closes it after 5 minutes of me opening it

[fading mesa]

I mean, all they do is just let you know they'll investigate & can't give any more info about what actions they take; the same exact thing we said to everyone as legacy mods.

Thats where if you have more info, you put it in there.

[royal hare]

I'm just trying to ask the mods how to get a ripple effect role 🥲

[fading mesa]

DM t0talfps.

Or one of the community managers

[royal hare]

I did a while back, didn't want to double-message

to t0tal I mean, not to any other community managers

[fading mesa]

Thats fair. I'd probably circle back around again just to check in.

[lunar kelp]

General shit talking's a two way street the mods understand
except for when they don't

[prime falcon]

OUR mods, not these new kids.

[lunar kelp]

I mean, this hands-off ticket only bullshit's not really effective or working out, if you guys don't wanna come back then that's fine but I feel like they should try to get a different team of actual moderators that actually are a part of the community, because having moderators that are entirely disconnected from it is not beneficial and just serves to make the server actively annoying a lot of the time.

[prime falcon]

At least you bothered to talk, these new ones are more dead air than a terminal breath.

[lunar kelp]

Also, i ask again, why even have this channel? Nobody who can actually make decisions about the server actually says anything or acknowledges the feedback given.

I've seen more people get tempbanned for talking in here.

[fading mesa]

Perhaps it's deserved.

[fading mesa]

Thats how EA wants to handle moderation.

[lunar kelp]

I recognize that's how EA wants to handle it. But I also recognize that it's really easy to act like doing that is a good idea when you never actually interact in the server.

So, I don't care. It still sucks ass, and I'm going to continue saying it's a bad idea.

[lunar kelp]

About warnings, by the way, they don't fucking matter.

Might as well be a slap on the wrist.

Who gives a shit.

Doesn't esculate at all from what I can tell.

[cinder elk]

Trust me, double message any day. I'm just a very busy lad! 😊

Responded though!

[fading mesa]

If they offered to me to come back, in the same capacity, I'd do it, because I enjoyed interacting w/ everyone as a mod & didn't mind handling what needed to be handled.

But, to be honest, having a moderation team that doesn't talk in the server w/ the members is the most beneficial form of moderation because there's no bias. It's all unbiased & report based.

But thats my opinion.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lunar kelp]

I disagree, I think a moderation team that is disconnected from the community it moderates is less effective than a moderation team that is actually active ahd associated with the community, they are held to higher standards, they can actually be held accountable, and they are motivated to keep the community decent, because they're a part of the same community.

I don't think bias is necessarily a negative thing when it comes to moderation, it's natural when you care about something, especially when you care about keeping a community clean and decent.

How can I trust people who i've never seen speak outside of copypasted statements in private tickets to moderate this place properly? They've already made questionable decisions in the past. They're not exactly quick to deal with issues.

I've literally written a whole ass essay about this.

[prime falcon]

the same way they're handling the servers that go out like the US' rotting infrastructure every other week?

[fading mesa]

Yeah, like spam bots.

😑

[gray geyser]

Can we have a 0 tolerance policy for posting scam links? I reported this guy already a few weeks ago

Clearly these accounts are either just bots or are compromised accounts and have 0 interest in anything related to battlefield.

[storm ridge]

Remember to rapport it to discord as well

So the link itself will get banned from all servers

[gray geyser]

Do i have to do that from somewhere else? The report options don't have anything related to what someone posts, only image, name, or status

[storm ridge]

Right click or long click the post, then rapport

[native marsh]

So how does it solve the problem with the discord Server related to weaker moderations, long wait time with tickets, plus an appeal system that doesn't exist

like it's great promoting something but if you don't have the tools for the discord to be moderated well and with long wait times in moderation tickets what's problem is this solving later then getting more people here, you're going to see your flaws with the moderation you haven't fixed

[jade fjord]

Give us a regular channel please

[native marsh]

That won't even help because remember they struggled with simple users posting scam link, As it took a while for them to remove it. With them promoting the game more, There will be more users who are going to try to scam people Which means longer wait times for the link to get removed

[marble dew]

They used to have one

Years ago...

[merry vigil]

I have soiled my pants, cleanup on isle 5

[karmic glen]

I wish

[jade fjord]

Insane how unprepared the admin/mod team is, who could have seen this chaos coming

Someone should show t0talfps how to run a big discord server

[gray geyser]

Ask old mods if they would be willing to come back for temporary amount of time for reveal events seems like a smart plan

[native marsh]

The problem is what I stated before, all these issues existed with ea ownership before and now it’s showing all the flaws

[gray geyser]

Or just get some more new ones

[native marsh]

I suggest a 3 second limit on chat and any slur temp ban 10 minutes with a bot and the hard er perma ban

Also hire temp volunteer moderators before for a week till order returns

[gray geyser]

Oh look the same scam I've reported 3 times

[naive oriole]

Hi, I was told that this channel was for solving matters about regular status retrieval. Now I had left for a bit, but came back today, so I don't know if this affects my case, but I still have an transcript of the ticket that I send in, but was closed immediately without any answer. I can still provide that transcript if you need to see it. Either way, this was my original ticket message:

"Hello there, i had a question about regular status. I've been part of the discord since 2018 or so and gained the regular status the old fashioned way, where it was granted by moderators at the time.

Sadly shortly before mods departures and the moderation handover to EA, i lost it due inactivity and turned back white. I'm not sure how, cause i felt like i was still checking in regularly, but i suppose i didn't chat enough.
Either way, i've noticed a lot of people I've seen and met through the years turned purple, while i remained blue. I assume when a list or some sort was made of regulars on the server, i sadly managed to miss the boat.

So I was wondering if there was a way to re-attain the purple role?

Kind regards,
Jer9-Carver"

[willow grove]

Old regs should get their regular role back

Also if regulars are able to be given out to everyone why can’t we have special names like legacy regulars
Also having regulars back on the list would be nice

[karmic glen]

I hope you get yours back, you and Lasagna

I vote to sacrifice bmac

[native marsh]

Bro why not entice as well, like we're going to sacrifice Bmac anyway

but in serious discord feedback, why not have a sort of way for everyone to get a chance of regular

[karmic glen]

Total said they'll introduce something like that soon

The question is, when is 'soon'

[native marsh]

the old system worked because essentially you have to be active to be able to get it. So why not re add that back or that takes time because now you're having all these issues with the discord because you failed to listen to users feedback on the discord Problems

[karmic glen]

He said that 5 months ago btw

[native marsh]

yeah it tells you what they're focused on

I feel like if you're so focused on the game why not be focused on the discord. look at all these issues showing their ugly heads because you failed to Tackle community issues

[karmic glen]

They put slowmode on the new chats

I guess that's their 'solution'

[karmic glen]

Thinking back on it, it also solves the moderation problem, many less people can embed

but alas, EA kept this channel up as a ruse to show they are 'listening'

[native marsh]

Wow a band aid solution, It doesn't solve any problem,

tickets will still take a long time

so all they're doing is slowing down chat, without trying to solve the real solution with the moderation team here

Requiring more moderators

plus the long ticket process where they take forever to respond

[toxic fable]

im moved by this but why hate on bmac hes also one of us fellow regulars. lets be nice. but ye we need a new system of potent bots who can do stuff around here

[lean coral]

Admin of United Brotherhood here, is the platoon recruitment channel gone for good? No one uses the BF subreddit(s) for recruiting anymore and groups like mine have to resort to in-game chat to find new players. Would be good to have a place here to recruit for the upcoming release, I remember posting here before for UB a couple years ago :) A forum channel would be the best format so each group can make one thread and keep it organized without having to re-post in a text channel.

[native marsh]

well I can say you're not the first person the first person did it when EA took over, That's how much they listen to the feedback on this channel

[round elbow]

So who can we get in contact with here to ask what was done to the auto moderation system since yesterday?

The system right now seems to be going a little overboard, earlier I had typed something and got an instant 24 hr time out (although someone apparently reversed that )
but now it seems @tired kestrel also typed something (about himself no less) and got the same 24 hr instant time out??

[cinder elk]

This should now be resolved.

[round elbow]

Its like walking on landmines now with this new system

(i think thats what he meant by its resolved)

[cinder elk]

Yeah, the filtering got a little tooooo sensitive and I have been working to reduce that. Timeouts are being removed too.

Appreciate the patience with that 🙂

[toxic fable]

hope this isnt the wrong place, but i lost my regular role because i left the server on an impuls when i was muted by a bot earlier and rejoined right after (i did respect the timeout and didnt rejoin or type again untill it was over) how would one go about to become a regular again?

i have ADD and have really hard time with impulses sometimes

[pallid wave]

Not sure why I’m not able to post in community creation clips, streams, etc when I have a role? I’d like to post I stream and do some content creation

[shrewd night]

sounds like you want to be friends with the mod team to ban others easier

having this server being the center of some sort of reporting war is a scary thought to me

[wet granite]

I think that's fair feedback on the response time and we definitely didn't get enough sorted over the last few days to handle the increase. And everybody can have an opion what moderation system works better. No need to argue. Feedback has been provided.

Appreciate the thoughts around this. We will discuss this internally. As it is the official Discord we will continue linking it to drive players in here but we will have to do better in these moments of heavy traffic.

[fading mesa]

I'd appreciate if you didn't tag me randomly if I'm not active in the chat, thanks.

You still tagged me, did you not?

[fading mesa]

Refer to this:

[toxic fable]

it would be cool if someone could adress how to become a regular now that the bots are not around anymore.

[wet granite]

If you lost a previous role that will unfortunately stay lost, as we don't use the same systems as before. We're looking to offer a similar system, rewarding users for their activity in here, but we currently don't have any concere information to share.

[shrewd night]

It's not an easy balance tbh, i am referring to what TotalFPS wrote above about filtering being too sensitive etc and timeouts got removed. I just hope that the system is as fair to everyone as possible, and that users personal opinions on politics etc not affect mod decisions. Hopefully the discord can reach a place where people chill and talk instead of looking for trouble and reporting left and right

[naive oriole]

Shame to hear that

[toxic fable]

thank you for your reply

[wet granite]

As politics are against the rules on the server they definitely can have an impact on your status in here. Or did I misunderstand what you were trying to say?

[shrewd night]

You understood me correctly i think, it's just that politics are frequently discussed here, and it always ends up with people reporting eachother. I just hope that regardless of what political stances people have (im not taking sides here) mods take a balanced view and be as objective as possible. So if two users support different sides neither of them should be talking politics. I wouldn't want two people talking about politics, but person A reports person B and person B gets warned. Surely they both did wrong, it's just that person B did not report

[wet granite]

Well it's a Battlefield server. Politics are not meant to be discussed here. And just reporting somebody doesn't immediately mean that report is being acted upon, that's also important to keep in mind.

[shrewd night]

Yes, and agreed

[coral gazelle]

its just numbers

they spammed flags yesterday

better than fake links

yesterdsy was italianfield

hey atleast its not the finals discord where you get banned for everything instantly, so yeah better this than way too hard moderation

also while alot of ea franchises are being severly neglected i feel like they are putting alot into this new bf

its not a maybe, they are making the effort to let the community have proper impact into its Development

which is very good

(generally tho this isnt needed cause they should have enough data of what people like and what they dont but hey, atleast they are trying)

i had a great experience with dice on twitter a few years back

i asked them if they could add night maps to the game, and a few years later they acttually did

we have to see, i need to see more gameplay

its cool its different

ok so

if you dont like sonething, you can hate it, or you can simply not play it, the third option would be to give feedback

worst map fr fr

imagen if they tried something else

[fresh ridge]

I dunno, I enjoyed it

[willow grove]

an older account too

[fading mesa]

You know, instead of just throwing a fit about it, you could just... report it?

[short fractal]

@fading mesa is there a location, with provided info and inquiries about the Legacy Mod Team? 🫡

[fading mesa]

I don't understand your question.

[short fractal]

Is there a channel, server description of roles, what is the legacy mod team? Basically. 🙏

@fading mesa

Ahhhh, gotcha. Thanks.

[fading mesa]

Oh, yeah, like Lycan was mentioning; we're just the former members who were once a part of the mod staff before EA took over.

[forest spear]

Does EA deal with the inside and outside of Battlefield 5?

？

[karmic meteor]

Poor tom

[karmic glen]

[jagged storm]

[split estuary]

When are we playing the game?

[karmic glen]

week or 2 as dice said

[jade fjord]

2 what

[twin mason]

they mean 1 or 2 weeks

[jade fjord]

i know

[karmic glen]

Fasts and Furioses

https://tenor.com/view/family-toretto-dominic-gif-23895685

[chilly lily]

Is there anything we know about whether we can create and manage our platoon like we could do in Bf4 and Bf1? It would be epic and really necessary to create teams and be able to play matches, tournaments, leagues and also meet friends and possible additions to the community. Being able to carry the tag and logo on the soldier and the weapon, give personality and more reason and meaning to the battles, fight for your team and represent it... this is vital.

[fading mesa]

Not the right channel for this.

This channel is for feedback regarding the discord server itself, not the game.

[short fractal]

I think server boosters should be aloud to post pics and content. 🤔

[fresh ridge]

There was a time where that was allowed

[cinder elk]

This was disabled, as we do not want to encourage people to be spending money on something like that for a few simple permissions and it being a 'pay to post' route.

Regulars at the moment, and crews such as FNB, Legacy, Staff etc are the only ones that are able to post imagery.

[short fractal]

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Thanks man. 🙏

[round elbow]

Is it not possible to turn off boosting entirely?

[wanton current]

It is not

[round elbow]

(I realized that would be dumb since discord wants money)

[supple trout]

https://tenor.com/view/money-money-money-gif-3641396535535975514

[karmic glen]

Nah let more people be tricked

[short fractal]

Not sure if it's already planned. But perhaps advising users to unlink their accounts. Already have some displaying "playing Battlefield Labs" on their profiles. Just fyi. 🫡 Whether they're fake or not.

[vague breach]

It's people trolling. EA can restrict the playtest client from showing up on Discord if they want to

[karmic glen]

you can fake games you play using discord's 'rich presence'

Look it up on YouTube, plenty of guides to do it if you want to mess around with it

[short fractal]

Oh Im aware. 🙏

That's not something I'm into.

[short fractal]

100%, not very found of users faking the system. It's cringe.

[deep shard]

Good and fair point, not recieving communication to read back upon after sign up for Battlefield Labs can and has the potential to continue to fluster and confuse folks and leave them wondering. #1335998561820872824

[prime widget]

Hm, yeah, that entire category is hidden by default. I just tried to submit some feedback about channels being hidden by default here. Apparently Discord added a feature where the user has to manually add channels to their channel list, and the default is that it's hiding things like rules, this channel, and a bunch of others.... Like, under Information, I only had #info, #game-news, and #server-news until a link from the Battlefield website took me to #rules, and it presented a button to add that to my channel list.

I've been wondering for a while now where the server rules disappeared to.

It seems to be related to Discord's "suggested channels" and "browse channels" feature. Only once I've found a link to a channel and actually entered it, does it show up in the suggested channels list, and ask if I actually want that channel in my channel list.

Right-clicking on a channel category and selecting "add to channel list" makes the rest of the channels in a group show up. Going into Channels & Roles above the channel list and using Browse Channels also lets you select what you want to see.

Leave it to Discord to break basic features, right?

[fresh ridge]

Lmao

[shrewd night]

no thanks

[round elbow]

Actual feedback time, can we start banning these steam scammers?

[cinder elk]

Done, it's a inevitability when more attention takes place and always cat and mouse but we're making steps to filter it out more

[light niche]

Hello. I think adding customizable titles to VC channels would help save time for everyone. Seems like most people join randomly instead of looking at LFG channel.

[native marsh]

One feedback, I have is adding to the rules that any drug or alcohol references is prohibited as you guys are moderating like that and it isn't common sense to many users even older users as it was not a prohibited to strict before

[prime falcon]

Can one of those steps be to make a 'moderator' role ping so that way we don't have to manually ping someone who's online

[jade fjord]

no, pinging a mod would give you a warning

thats how i got one

[prime falcon]

'ping us if you need help, you're now warned for pinging us' the hell is happening to this server

Seriously, I tried to post something like five times and it was all moderated

EA

The moderative team, if you can even call these lazy slack off excuses mods, we got now are ass. No one does anything, the server is dead with ghostlight conversations just echoing endlessly because there's nothing else to talk about anymore.

[jade fjord]

Oh they do things, sometimes people get a warning for something they said hours ago

[prime falcon]

And now I'm getting denied postings because despite being a server catering to M rated games that have strong language in them, I'm not allowed to post 'big meanie swear words' what is this, a phyucking daycare?!

[prime falcon]

Or weeks ago

[jade fjord]

The state of this server is just in shambles

[prime falcon]

The EA seal of 'quality'

[prime falcon]

'mcdonald's bathroom floor gravy certified to give you the gaming experience that'd equate to all three strains of hepatitis at the same time or your money not back'

[cinder elk]

Okay, enough. This is constantly a recurring thing from certain individuals and it is becoming a little bit silly now. There are #rules in place within this discord, if you're unable to abide by them then that is okay - you simply won't be able to partake within the Discord.

I'd like to think that there has been some leniency shown in many ways when it comes to discussion, that is so that discussion can naturally continue to flow. We've reminded you constantly that if there are any issues taking place within channels then feel free to raise that within the #how-to-report-and-appeal so that the moderation team can actively work on it when they are able to do so.

The section you're in, is for thoughts and suggestions (in a constructive manner) that is not derogatory or constant critique without feedback. Things are constantly changing, we are constantly working to ensure the filtering - which you're referring to - is improving.

[prime falcon]

That's not the feedback I meant, allow me to rephrase; the lack of direct accessibility to moderation intervention done in a way that's effective and needed is lacking. In other words, the former crew before EA took over were very well trained and tenured in properly dealing with issues as they arose. Now if the same issue were to arise, the pointless overcomplication of a support desk ticket instead of a role that'd be pingable and any moderator currently online could get a notification from would be able to see what the ping is about and thus pick up the issue and assess it from there. Thus far since EA's direct take over, there's been a nonstop string of overreach, overreaction due to misunderstanding AND worse still lack of any real changes made to ensure the new moderative team is 'up to snuff'. It's been months and little to nothing at all has seen inprovement.

In other words, having a '@ moderator' role that'd be pingable would make response time to issues as they arose MUCH more streamlined and efficient and that way any moderator online would be able to just respond more directly rather than through the support desk, which is rather useless since we don't have image permissions and instead would need to describe the issue in detail instead of just sending a screenshot or something.

[cinder elk]

That is just not something that will take place at this time, the moderation team is on call to do a certain thing and they will work towards certain processes and systems in place. Everyone else is seemingly being able to raise a ticket and get a resolution, this is tracked it allows for a history of things to take place, and for reference to take place thereafter at a later point.

You do keep referencing the fact that volunteers were able to do things better, and again, this is because it is on free time and is very much up to the whims of that person. The difference here is that there are processes, escalations and tracking for what is taking place. To suggest things have not improved since the change and the early issues that were flagged is a matter of opinion, but reactivity and response to the issues has improved.

So again, I would say at this moment in time - enough with this, and if you'd like to offer up any other suggestions that you would like to see in the discord - by all means ping me.

With that said, enjoy your weekend and some videogames - afterall, that is what we are here for.

[prime falcon]

Actually yes, I've a suggestion unrelated to the previous conversation

[cinder elk]

Fire it up!

[prime falcon]

Instead of battlefield labs, why not just have a proper community feedback system in this server. There's always a third party niche system on some webite no one knows about really. Why not just double down on this server being centralised as the main Battlefield hub. there's a community feedback forum already in place, a proper overhaul is all that's needed to really get it in order to where the developers could actually talk with us for direct feedback and/or suggestions.

[cinder elk]

Good question:

[prime falcon]

I'm sure there's plenty of others out there who've fun ideas but at the same time they probably don't want to sign onto a 'lottery' of 'will I get picked to give feedback' it feels like they're just doing that to only have 'yesmen' they can cherrypick

The BF labs is a good concept but pointlessly overcomplicated, why not just make it a CTE thing, but instead of just one game, it'd be a free communal playground where we'd get to see the devbuild stages of all the older games' maps. Sort of like a machine museum so we could explore not only the lineage of the older games but also get the options to playtest them so we ourselves as the players could choose to see first hand what does and doesn't work and from there vote for what'd be added in the next game off of the basis of what came before.

If they want the best possible feedback, a CTE survey that's free where it'd basically be a 1:1 port of the original games' mechanics, maps, weapons, gadgets and so on where we'd get to expereince them as a tech demo of sorts. Portal could've been exactly that had there been more effort put into it.

[cinder elk]

I cannot go into too much detail at the moment, but I will talk about the grander plan for this Discord. As you know, we took the reigns to turn it into an official discord - that's something we had wanted to do for a while, make it truly official.

That now allows us to support it as much as we want and put the full power of our Battlefield Studios and the plans behind it, and you're seeing us support it already by putting it front and center on the Battlefield site, you're seeing Byron talk about the discord on the recent Battlefield Labs video. There are big plans to be using this Discord as the central community hub for all things Battlefield - that involves feedback, developer chats, blogs and more. Not everything is going to happen in a flash however, and things will unfold more over time, but the priority will be here - that's for sure.

I think with Battlefield 2042 you also saw me testing out #1077689769246593044, all of that is with the intent of building upon that for the next game. I and many within the community team are quite big on feedback, but also action out of that feedback, and I am quite big on simply chatting things through with the players. We'll be doing just that, but give us a bit of time.

We took ownership a few months ago, because we are building out that stuff in advance 🙂

Battlefield Labs is however its own thing, it's a community collaboration environment that will be under an NDA. It has it's own purpose, and that is simply the way of it.
Does that mean surveying, feedback, discussion, announcements, events, giveaways don't happen here? No. So again, stay tuned.

[prime falcon]

Obviously you can't drive across an overpass with it being just the struts and girders, it needs to be built up first before you take a semi over it. I'm by no means in any hurry, if anything I'd rather y'all take all the time needed to get it right from the start. I've been playing Battlefield since I first rented BC1 from Blockbuster (Yes I'm kind, I rewind) and I'd love nothing more than to help in any way possible to ensure that whatever comes next is not only its own new thing that tries out new ideas but at the same time maintains the core 'battlefield' expectations and experience. Whatever ideas or insight I can give to help make the best product possible you damned well better beleive I'll do my part.

[cinder elk]

And that's what we want and need, because it is about doing a lot of this stuff alongside you. That's the only way I know. 🙂

Stay tuned.

[prime falcon]

Okay, Alistair

(get it, because that's what he said in the Hazbin Hotel pilot)

(I'm hip with the kids, right? I'm not a square I swear!)

[cinder elk]

You've had a hip replacement, cause that's more hip than me. I ain't watched Hazbin Hotel! 😁
Time for the weekend though, enjoy it and get some games played!

[shy oracle]

@cinder elk Good morning I was wondering, since this is the official Battlefield Discord can we have 2 channels added. 1. Easter Egg channel - it would be nice to have actual official Battlefield mods run this channel on this server. This would be great for any or if any new Easter Eggs still come out 2042 and of course the new Battlefield game. I'm sure the Devs appreciate that the players love hunt/find the work they put into creating on their spare time. 2. Lore channel - there is a huge amount of loyal players like myself playing Battlefield
Games for 17 years love all the lore of the series. Especially right now with 2042 and it connection to other previous games in the series. Just a thought since this is the official Battlefield Discord I think it's important to have these channels. Trying to bring positive creative ideas 💡 to make this Discord successful especially with reminder of 2042 left and the new Battlefield game coming. Everything needs to be connected here.

[short fractal]

I personally feel the BFEE should reign supreme when it comes to EE's. As you already know Will. 😜🙏

[prime falcon]

Isn't that server dead and really pompus though?

[native marsh]

Why is the bot so aggressive against cursed words

Why is cursing no longer allowed, how am I suppose to call a bad professor, a donkeys hole without being censored

[fading mesa]

Keep it friendly and positive.

[native marsh]

I want a better reason

[fading mesa]

They don't need to give a better reason when that reason alone is sufficient.

🙃

[shrewd night]

call him a what

[karmic glen]

so it's understandable that external emojis(from other servers) have been switched off because of bad actors but surely it can be allowed for regulars since there's significantly less of us compared to the blues?

[fading mesa]

[karmic glen]

I need my 300 pepe emojis and kekw emoji bro

[native marsh]

But still, it seems like a mistake for it to be added to the filter

[restive glen]

It's genuinely an overreaction to remove emojis from boosters and regulars.

[wind needle]

Clamping down on people expressing themselves is not the move

[short fractal]

I don't believe so.

[prime falcon]

Heard that it was more pious and gatekeepish

[prime falcon]

wait they did that?

[shrewd night]

no thanks

[toxic fable]

so many hijacked accounts distributing scams in discord

discord need to adress this

[shrewd night]

yeah, it seems like everytime i check this discord, there is another scammer

[toxic fable]

a few every day

[gaunt sluice]

any mod to delete this? '-'

[round elbow]

Is there a way to lock down the server to someone until they click a "Im not a bot" button? so on the off chance an old account here gets hijacked once again they cant spam the channels

[karmic glen]

It's impossible to, it's a side effect of offering a free community-focused socialising app

[gray geyser]

I don't remember how each of the messages was worded exactly but they all deal with some sort of "50$ gift" and usually have a different link each time since those can be dealt with. I would suggest just prohibiting the phrase "50$ gift -" and see if they still come through with different versions or something

[toxic fable]

yeah some AI filter from discords side should be able to handle it

[gray geyser]

There are like 20 actual legit messages in the whole server using that phrase so I really don't see it becoming an issue with anyone who would use it in a normal way

[toxic fable]

this server has had one like every day

for a few days now

[shrewd night]

dont they usually use the same website link?

[gray geyser]

The most recent was different

I reported one in January and it had a different link but still said "50$ gift -"

[native marsh]

As a member of cursed cat appreciation, I ask for you to add the new bfd emoji as cursed_glorb

[toxic fable]

i can second this

we want that emoji

also i dont think total knew, now hes gonna know

about the thread and all

[short fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/right-to-jail-ban-downvote-mod-admin-gif-16911219

Platoons?

[cinder elk]

Oh I am aware, don't worry 🤣🤣

[toxic fable]

see what you did

[round hazel]

Please keep the labs channel open if possible. I assume that once testing starts it’ll become a private one for people actually testing, but having a dedicated channel to have genuine discussions about the next game just for fun should stick around

[karmic glen]

will this promised eventual overhaul to the regular system also allow for them to use emoji from outside the server?

[wet granite]

That channel will not be used for the test under NDA and will stay open for general Labs discussions!

[wet granite]

We'll have a look but my prediction is that we likely won't allow external emojis for a while, even with a new system implemented. That being said, we all have emojis we like to use and we'll see what we can do to 1. get more emojis here that are Battlefield themed but can hopefully fill some of the void that missing emojis cause, and 2. reevaluate what privileges certain ranks will offer and this could be something for long time members in good standing. Definitely on our feedback list now, thanks for sharing!

[karmic glen]

I got a response no way

But yeah I'm just happy you're listening, thanks for the clarification

[round hazel]

yay!

[native marsh]

Can we also propose emojis to also fill the void so the community can have some involvement with what emojis should be added

[jade fjord]

Atleast one single kek emote

[karmic glen]

I concur

[steel mural]

EA your BF4 servers keep going down just to lyk.

[chilly lily]

This new BF need:
-Management Section Platoon with tag in soldiers.
-5 or 6 players in squad
-Server Browser
-120hz server tickrate
-squad improvements like in Bf3
-urban maps than Azzadi Palace, Bazar,gulf of oman,karkand,damavand peak..
-level progression system like in Bf3
-end of round statistics like in Bf1

[jade fjord]

sir this is the discord feedback channel

[chilly lily]

Feedback... feedback is this right?

[wind needle]

Not game feedback

[chilly lily]

And what is the feedback section for the game?

[wind needle]

There isn't one

[jade fjord]

,,Share your thoughts and suggestions about the Battlefield Discord within this area!´´

[fading mesa]

You, uh, could use #battlefield-labs-discussion

Probably best spot for it.

[gray geyser]

Can we just block the phrase "50$ gift" from the server, every time it's said is the same scam and different links

[toxic fable]

its blocked for me already. i think discord did something

[jade fjord]

dont worry the team is already ,,investigating´´

[shrewd night]

im sick of reporting them at this point

[jade fjord]

feels like the mods do their copy&paste reply and just go and do something else

someone else will surely handle it

[marble river]

We want to rent an operation server, can you give us information?

[leaden mountain]

Can a mod please look at why @scarlet shuttle is muted for a week for some random comment? no vulgarity nothing he's just muted

[jade fjord]

Kato should dm the legacy mods, they handled things like this before

[fading mesa]

If they're muted... it's best to read the message why, and then not make the same mistake again

[leaden mountain]

blocked for spam or sus activity, told to contact modmail, but there is no way to contact mod mail

[wind needle]

Don't you do that through #how-to-report-and-appeal

[scarlet shuttle]

yeah i had no message perms throughout the entire server

[leaden mountain]

oh you're back

[scarlet shuttle]

the gods have smiled upon me

and right on time to grill the 5070

[shrewd night]

you got a 5070?

😮 did it cost you an arm and a leg?

[karmic glen]

I don't think he meant that kind of 'grill'

[brisk stag]

Don't you dare make a Battle Royale or I will pray to the gods of fleas to infest the armpits of its creator!!

h

h

[karmic glen]

[simple cloud]

Oh God

[gray geyser]

can we add #battlefield-labs-news #1335997362258186292 #battlefield-labs-discussion to the channel list on #info

[simple cloud]

Can we add a #FANART channel in the #screenshots-and-clips #streams-and-videos place so people can show there art to you DICE

[fresh ridge]

#screenshots-and-clips was originally a place meant for cinematic photos and art, it was renamed to it’s current name and is now in the state you can see

[simple cloud]

Oh

[fresh ridge]

It was a beautiful place my boy. We even had a starboard meant for photos people found to be particularly nice

I know, it was beautiful seeing a ton of shitpost memes that the community voted to preserve

I hope they add it back, one day

[fresh ridge]

Lol, lmao even

[toxic fable]

are we talking about the starboard? im all for it aswell

[fresh ridge]

Yeah i’d like the starboard back

[karmic glen]

deco gave a likely explanation here a few weeks ago for why they removed it and why it likely(understandibly) may never come back

[vague breach]

To chime in on the very old conversation, If EA wanted to use Zeppelin, they would

[karmic glen]

[jade fjord]

no fun community stuff allowed here

[solemn burrow]

I am having issues launching and playing BF4 and BF1. Can someone help me? BF1 says I am offline because Origin didn't open properly, however, I have had this game for about a year and played it every once in a while and never downloaded/needed Origin.

[willow grove]

I still miss that channel

[fading mesa]

And my recipes...

🙃 🙃 🙃

[fresh ridge]

Ah yeah I totally forgot you did those

[scarlet shuttle]

my good friend @frosty dome got timed out by the bot for accidentally saying a blacklisted word

anyone that can help?

[frosty dome]

Oh

Are you the reason why I was un timed? @scarlet shuttle 💀

[scarlet shuttle]

perhaps

[frosty dome]

I also messaged admin but I doubt they saw

[scarlet shuttle]

that might've been it then

idk how often they look in here

[lunar cobalt]

Hello, i began playing BF1 this weekend, but when I check the server list there's only servers with the same 4 maps. Does any of you now why? I'm playing on PS5.
