[torn vector]

Uhh I Hope That

[shut comet]

No idea, sorry.

[covert nest]

Everythings still being developed but last I heard and gathered air vehicles are the least developed.

[torn vector]

:')

[coral basin]

We can't tell you

[covert nest]

To be fair. This is pre release.

Pre alpha

[torn vector]

[covert nest]

I thought this shit was just an alpha.

[indigo pebble]

people are only7 abale to play for 1 day out of the weekend acording to a guy on reddit

[torn vector]

Yap, I Hope I Invited To Playtest

[coral basin]

[tepid plinth]

pre

[shut comet]

Most of the stuff you see online is mere speculation

[covert nest]

Makes you curious what the actual alpha is gonna look like.

[shut comet]

We don’t know what it will look like. But I’m remaining hopeful and positive.

[torn vector]

Yeah

[covert nest]

Well yeah we won't know what it looks lkke

But i mean with how publicised this has been. Being there for the development process.

[torn vector]

XD

I hope they'll have a session where players can give suggestions for the game's development.

[shut comet]

Dice and EA have made great leaps and strides including the community when it comes to Labs

Reminds of the CTE from BF1

[torn vector]

[summer scroll]

are the invitations all coming on the same time for everyone or during a day or week?

[covert nest]

They have a discord server.

They read data from there.

Even though there's a lot of garbage data.

They can read heat maps and shit

[normal sparrow]

I think they are not all coming at the same time for everyone

[tepid plinth]

Oh god I can only imagine what their feedback channels are like

[normal sparrow]

I got an invitation just now. I'm just sad I will not be able to play because I got sent ps5 invitation even tho I changed my preferences from ps5 to pc

[nimble bridge]

Remove movement, remove women, remove fun 🤣

At least reddit was like this

[covert nest]

Oh yeah i forgot i sent you another ultrakill theme.

[cold linden]

When can i Download the Client? Just made the rsvp

[covert nest]

Don't tell us. We arent meant to know. But you should go to the chats you've been invited to and give feedback about it.

Ugghh

[shut comet]

What’s wrong

[normal sparrow]

I were not invited to any chats lol

[covert nest]

You should be but im not get into it

[cerulean sleet]

Guys I have an invitation for PS5, in the email they ask me to click on RSVP today to complete a form but when I click on it I have no form

[tepid plinth]

I have no email
I think that might be a bug

[sweet arch]

I haven't either

[fresh solstice]

Log in through where it sends you then click it again

[fresh solstice]

Same

[cerulean sleet]

Okay thank you man

[sweet arch]

I need to know if it's possible

[polar dove]

I got ps5, did you?

[sweet arch]

I didn't think it'd be locked to a specific platform anyways

I don't have PS+

But I got PC

[polar dove]

Did anyone get a PC invite?

[normal sparrow]

Probably not

[fresh solstice]

Ye

[modern inlet]

Same

[modern inlet]

Wanna trade? 💀

[normal sparrow]

I don't have a ps5 anymore 😭. And I got invite to ps5 playtest. Im sad

[polar dove]

Ps5 it is i guess 🤣

[fresh solstice]

[summer scroll]

My uncle, today

[empty tartan]

I also have a email (for PS5) but never signed up for PS5 🤔

[feral garden]

These Sony console sales tactics are next level

[fresh solstice]

Rule 1 of battle labs, don’t talk about battle labs.

[fresh solstice]

Real

Welp ima head to bed.

[ornate silo]

isnt the playtesting strictly for ps5?

[tepid plinth]

Definitely not

[zenith glacier]

no

[summer shale]

Same for me.

[ornate silo]

Why would people who signed up for pc get an invitation for ps5? would not make sense

[ripe fog]

I am actually crazy happy about ps5 because i will be away the whole weekend - visiting my mother, so i can easily bring PS5 with me

[tepid plinth]

That would be if you select a console as a device you regularly play on through the playtest preferences. Evidently they either randomly choose or choose based on the test’s current population and what is required to diversify the pool

[ornate silo]

Ah okay, hopefully i get invited on either one of them

[normal sparrow]

Stupid thing is that I actually changed my preferences. I removed the ps5 from my preferences and I still got the ps5 invite

[ornate silo]

but i guess people here talking about getting an email already im out of luck

[summer shale]

Guys why tf I get the playtesting registration like we got a few months ago

I'm enough registered to receive the playtesting mail but not enough registered to receive the session playtesting email lmao

[tough gyro]

CST is UTC-5 , rights?

I searched CST on Google and it showed UTC-5 or UTC-6. I don't know which one to believe.

[covert nest]

No idea

[tame grove]

No

[cobalt flower]

Same there

Hope we can change for PC

[white hawk]

Same here...

[summer shale]

Ok so I double clicked instead of juste one click and it worked lmao

[modern inlet]

Lets tag the community manager 👀

[cobalt flower]

[white hawk]

It's making me complete the initial survey:(

Double clicking on a pc worked, thank you!!!!!!!

[azure comet]

What does 'selection time' mean? Does it mean I can only choose one session to attend out of the three options?

[white hawk]

It's when they will let you in, as people will be let in at different batch sizes to test the servers

[azure comet]

If I choose the first option, will I still have a chance to attend the second session?

[gaunt sundial]

got invited but on ps5 while i dont have one 😭 lmao

[sweet arch]

I have a PS5, but didn't know I'd need PS+. I primarily play on PC and got a PS5 invite

Wait really?

Where?

I think that's just a title for what we got

[rapid fox]

No.

All platforms received invites

It shows PS5 since you will only be able to play on this platform

I can assure you PC got it

[pearl pulsar]

Is this a one-time test qualification？

[rapid fox]

No idea on that one

They either will revoke access, or it will be permanent

I didn't hear of revoking before

[white hawk]

I heard that some people got access to multiple playtests, while others didn't

[agile jolt]

Hello, does the individual playtest last 24 hours? Like if I choose to play from 10 AM, the portal says from 10 AM to 10 AM, does that mean I'll get 24 hours to play?

[pearl pulsar]

I heard that the qualifications issued this week are one-time

[white hawk]

Nooooo :(((

[agile jolt]

Mhhh I see. So basically the "To 10:00 AM" means the end of the global playtest

Although there's a 12 PM one that ends at 12 PM lol. A bit confusing

[cobalt flower]

Nop PT on all plateforms

[ornate silo]

its 24 hr windows

[feral garden]

The "Dont talk about playtests in public" part, shouldnt be confusing tho

[shut comet]

Look in general chat

[feral garden]

I dont want to lol

[shut comet]

Fair enough Kewk

[agile jolt]

Perhaps then they should make it so that any doubts are clearly resolved by giving information instead of making people having to ask 🙂

[shut comet]

❓

[loud harness]

Of course I wasnt invited to play. Unlucky as always

[feral garden]

The information is given, you are not reading it correctly

[agile jolt]

"Date" from 10 am to 10 am isn't clear information

[shut comet]

Seems to be some confusion here

…

[feral garden]

Ignorance of things, is not an excuse to not follow the rules also.

"I didnt know the speed limit was 30, thats why I was driving at 100", vibes

[loud harness]

Is that you in your profile pic?

[shut comet]

Yes

[shut comet]

Ignorance comes in many forms, reading seems to be one of them

[agile jolt]

I agree, but show me where it's clearly and undoubtly stated that one playtest sessions lasts 24 hours

[feral garden]

I cant...as that info is under NDA

Dear jesus

[shut comet]

NDA most likely

[drowsy plover]

Yo, who has an authority to add me in BF labs play test. I will not leak anything!

[shut comet]

Invites are usually sent via email

[agile jolt]

That's the point

[feral garden]

Just use some common sense and all will be good. Get invited > select the earliest available test you can attend > GG WP

[drowsy plover]

I know that, but I want to try here if some of the BF devs/community managers can make that happend.

[shut comet]

I- I don’t- think anyone here can help you with that

[drowsy plover]

ok

[mild girder]

I love how people are getting invited for PS5 but dont own one lol

[shut comet]

Let’s play jeopardy, what is “what is an NDA for 500”

[feral garden]

they probably selected it as platform they own, but they want PC access now. Most probably thought they would get to choose if they stated they had access to multiple devices

[mild girder]

could be

[agile jolt]

I wonder if those who got a PS5 or whatever invite selected multiple platforms on the survey

[mild girder]

if i get invite for PS5 without even having that in my preferences, i will cry so hard

[mild girder]

btw, i think that message already broke the NDA if you are in it

[rotund pier]

Talking about preferences, they won’t let me change it

[empty tartan]

PS5 owner but I only selected the PC/Mac option for playtests

[mild girder]

they do

[rotund pier]

It just boots me back to the log in page

[mild girder]

Dont click the button its bugged

[tough zinc]

so I understand that A LOT of people are receiving the invite

exciting times

[feral garden]

Didnt share any info, simply stated that info they are asking for is probably covered by an NDA.

[mild girder]

go to My Profile and then go to Preferences

[feral garden]

They are the one who said they have access

[mild girder]

even saying or implying that you know something or are even part of the Playtest is not probably allowed

[shut comet]

Oh brother lol

[feral garden]

I dont know if it is or isnt

[mild girder]

[feral garden]

Im just trying to be helpful to those in need of help. not trying to annoy people with stuff like this

[mild girder]

Most people that get invited cant be helped lol

so many people cant read a simple email that says talking about the mail is forbidden

[tough zinc]

this

[mild girder]

And then proceed to stream the entire thing when it launched lol

also always the PS people that leak shit

[agile jolt]

I signed a handful of NDAs for my line of work and was always given as much information as possible, I didn't see that here. Information shouldn't be up to interpretation or "common sense". Just my two cents, but anyway, who cares. There's people out there sharing videos lol

[tough zinc]

im not complaining tbh

its been a while since I've been this excited for BF

[mild girder]

which one

[tough zinc]

sorry

[mild girder]

i have mixed feelings tbh

[dapper spire]

lab test 24h or 72h？

[mild girder]

72

69

[tough zinc]

[mild girder]

oh guys, guess what i got

Thats right, nothing c:

guess ill be playing deadlock this weekend

[sleek thunder]

I just got a PS5 invite, and I selected PS5 only in the survey

[mild girder]

and the issue being?

[sleek thunder]

Jsut an answer to that

[inland oyster]

People that received the e-mail can change the playtest platform or not ? in case I receive the email I know how to react

[agile jolt]

Makes sense

[mild girder]

no

[inland oyster]

Okay thank you !

[mild girder]

which damn questionnaire

[tough zinc]

the one in preferences into your profile

on playtesting

[mild girder]

you can do that as many times as you want lol

[tough zinc]

yes

you can update it

[cerulean sleet]

exactly the same

i click on RSVP and still nothing... i go back to playtest page

[half halo]

As expected, I received no invites

Fuck I hate this lottery.

[cerulean sleet]

they send another invitation

[half halo]

Still stings that I registered in the first 3k on Day one, all of this for pure randoms who never play FPS receiving invites while real fans being left with nothing.

[mild girder]

i was probably the first to ever sign up since i was in there 10-20mins before the Trailer went up

[half halo]

I'll not receive anything Bro, I already know it. My luck is just bad

[mystic patrol]

when the invites are going to get out?

[cerulean sleet]

already now

[mystic patrol]

oh

[mild girder]

already out and maybe still going

[mystic patrol]

well thats a bomer i guess

[half halo]

Oof, that's even more crazy.

[rapid fox]

Same

[mild girder]

Can you not read?

[reef loom]

I hope send me

[rapid fox]

If only it had approved label somewhere

[mild girder]

i know right

crazy

[feral garden]

Getting banned from Labs playtests : speed run edition

[mild girder]

frfr

[cerulean sleet]

calm down it's just a mail

[mild girder]

the mail is also under NDA

lol

[cerulean sleet]

pfffff

[feral garden]

Just trying to help you dude. When these get seen, you will probably be removed.

Id delete

[mild girder]

I bet they have an archive channel

[cerulean sleet]

it's so stupid i just want help

[rapid fox]

Bro it literally has approved label and dates

How is this possible

[mild girder]

you didnt need help lol just learn to read

[cerulean sleet]

because they ask you to complete a questionnaire by clicking on RSVP, and when I click on it I get no questionnaire at all

[cerulean sleet]

Stop being condescending

[mild girder]

Like do you order stuff on amazon, get a order number and still ask support if the order went through?

[rapid fox]

No way guys does it have some nda

[mild girder]

idk, they didnt say that or anything in the invite

[burnt cradle]

is there any chance to get invite on PC?

[mild girder]

yes

be lucky

[half halo]

No, mails have already been sent our

[burnt cradle]

i want to so bad, im veteran, playing since bf1942

[burnt cradle]

jeeeezzz srsly

[mild girder]

they will probably still go out

since they said over the coming days

[slow apex]

Well the rule of thumb is anything related to EA playtesting is confidential.

[mild girder]

it literally is

[tough zinc]

bro why spreading disinformation

[mild girder]

you are only allowed to say you are part of EA Playtesting but nothing more

[tough zinc]

we dont know anything, just keep an eye out on your mail

[burnt cradle]

WHAT

PC or ps5?

[left marten]

pc

[tough zinc]

as long as you are free to play its ok I guess

[mild girder]

and now you wont be able to play it

GG

[tough zinc]

[mild girder]

Jesus, they need to add a IQ Test

[tough zinc]

[mild girder]

And you are under NDA

which u broke

lol

[half halo]

It's just poor phrasing from DICE. If we look at previous tests and invites, they were all sent out around the same couple of hours

[half halo]

Logical thinking based on previous tests, nothing more nothing less

[mild girder]

shhhh let me cope

[half halo]

EA should have enough servers to send out invites by batch

[coral basin]

lmao you scaring people

[mild girder]

good

[half halo]

Agreed

[mild girder]

i dont want people that cant even read a NDA play Labs

just wasted space

[tough zinc]

too bad this test is not like the previous ones, this is a server perfomance stress test, so there will be waaaay more people

(im delusional hoping to get the mail)

it may be true tho

[half halo]

You don't know that, no numbers were announced. More people? Sure. A LOT more? Nobody knows

[mild girder]

Well, they said tens of thousands in the FAQ, but idk if this is now or later

[half halo]

That's for the later stage I think

[tough zinc]

all we can do is hope and wait

i guess

[half halo]

I bet on maybe 10000 this time

[mild girder]

i mean, Pre-Alpha wont be there much longer and idk if Labs will continue for Alpha Playsessions

[half halo]

Which is still a droplet from the 1.3m registered lol

[loud harness]

Me too

[mild girder]

600k btw

1.3m was just the queue

[half halo]

I believe it will be there until open beta

[tough zinc]

so many people registered its crazy

bf hype is real

[half halo]

They still need to playtest the campaign and other modes as well

[loud harness]

Always has been

[past roost]

If I get picked for a test, will I be automatically picked for future ones as well?

[mild girder]

campaign will be tested inhouse

and not remote

[half halo]

That's what not having a good FPS for years does to a mf

[loud harness]

I dont think so

[past roost]

Ok thx

[mild girder]

wrong

[half halo]

Ues

[past roost]

Oh

[tough zinc]

even after fumbling hard with the last one, people are excited to try the new game

makes me happy tbh

[mild girder]

i still am doubtful

[past roost]

Well, I'm gonna shut up now 😭

[mild girder]

and everyone should be too

[feral garden]

No one here knows, or can tell you. If you are chosen, just wait for more info.

[mild girder]

well i can since people like to talk

[tough zinc]

REAL

[mild girder]

me enjoying deadlock (its not First Person but what ever)

TPS

[half halo]

Does playing Oblivion Remaster count?

[mild girder]

Its not a shooter (bows and magic dont count lol)

[half halo]

[slow apex]

Me still stuck with Battlefront 2 (2017) cuz waiting for a DICE game that surpasses it xd

[tough zinc]

great game

[mild girder]

keep waiting

[tough zinc]

ewok hunt still in my darkest dreams tho

[half halo]

Bro that shit was scary asf

[tough zinc]

was scary lmao

[half halo]

Nightmare simulator

[slow apex]

All those nightmares.. I still hear the trees talking ewok D:

[tough zinc]

loved them in the movies, terrified by them in the game

[slow apex]

Yub nub!

[half halo]

Oogah braaahh

[tough zinc]

we need a scavenger mode or extraction shooter mode with the little guys

utinnii!

[loud harness]

Will it be possible to play on pc in this stress test?

[sand moth]

if you got invite for pc yes? lol

[loud harness]

I didnt even get one

Just asking

Because in all the leaks people are playing on controller

[sand moth]

got a friends and his email said (Platform you can play on : PC)

[loud harness]

Good to know

[mild girder]

bc console players cant read a NDA

[loud harness]

So there will be mouse and keyboard gameplay

[sand moth]

haha i have a xbox one and pc and im able to read it

[feral garden]

When you signed up, If you selected PC as a platform you play on. Then yes, you can get invited to play on PC. If you selected PC and other platforms (PS5/Xbox Series S/X) then you may get chosen for those instead.

[loud harness]

I see what they did as a sacrifice

[sand moth]

its more like... kids these days dont give a fck....!

[halcyon chasm]

Man I’m so annoyed everytime I hear a bunch of people saying they got in but I don’t

[loud harness]

Thx

[loud harness]

I feel you

[sand moth]

Gab: ur not the only one loll sign in since day 1 😦

[halcyon chasm]

Like I thought this time it would be a big one since it was announced here but looks like we will have to look at some leaks again instead

[loud harness]

Lol

[sand moth]

Got access to BF1,V in the mid summer so... it will come lol

[loud harness]

Thats whats left for us

[burnt cradle]

jesus christ i want to play this weekend so bad, im so hyped for this BF

[half halo]

Same, I don't have any commitments this weekend, can play all day and night if I want... But no, I'll be left out and Little Timmy who usually play Sims will be invited and Play 1h at most.

[sand moth]

this is so true haha

i think its link to your EA account so... no sure

[mild girder]

no

[loud harness]

Brutal

[half halo]

Wow, imagine being invited but can't play, this is even worse

All my sympathies Maggiboy

[sand moth]

why check PS5 platform when u sign up if you didnt have a ps5? lol i dont get it haha

[tough zinc]

well that sucks

but you're not alone

if that helps

[stuck heart]

I selected PC as the only platform in my playtest profile

[half halo]

Probably thought they would ask him "so, you said you can play all platforms, which Platform would you like to Play for this test" or something like that

[lethal grail]

Yeah. The survey asked which platforms you own and occasionally play in, not which platform you wanted the invite for. The faq says you need ps online sub, I'm screwed if you actually do. Tried contacting playtest support to maybe get it changed to pc but it's looking like a long shot

[mild girder]

and i think you wont be able to play anyways anymore

[half halo]

[loud harness]

How did you know he chcked tho

[sand moth]

asking WHY he check PS5

[stuck heart]

I've seen several comments on Reddit about this. Perhaps EA made a mistake with the invitations, causing PC players to receive console invites

[lethal grail]

X2

[haughty ore]

hello guys i need some help pleae

so your having the same issue to?

[lethal grail]

I did, too.

[tough zinc]

many did, the response was the same and negative to everyone

unfortunately

[mild girder]

Love how all those people are talking about their invites but forget that they arent allowed to talk about them

[haughty ore]

Want to improve your chances of being selected? - Update your Playtesting Preferences! but it won't let me?

[mild girder]

The Devs will have a good day banning lots of people from Labs

[mild girder]

dont click the button go to your profile and then do it

its bugged

[lethal grail]

Because it asked what do you own, not what do you want the invite for

[haughty ore]

thank you

[stuck heart]

And I selected that I only own a PC and still got a PS5 invitation

[mild girder]

You will need to join a discord server

lol

they will find you

[tough zinc]

pulling an hans landa on the leakers lmaooo

[lethal grail]

Still no way to link it.

[loud harness]

Same lol

[mild plover]

give me access to playtest or i post cringy dad jokes

[mild girder]

Bro, you will need to link your EA Account to the Discord

They will find you if they want to

[haughty ore]

it workd for me

[stuck heart]

That's why you have a throwaway account like I have right now. I wouldn't talk about the invitation with my main account

[lethal grail]

Then I will join with another account, it's not hard lol.

[haughty ore]

i went to my profile

[loud harness]

How will they know which is which

Discord and EA account

[mild girder]

people that get invited are dumb, look at the leaks lol

and almost anyone is talking about the invites

which are under NDA

[lethal grail]

That's a different story. That's actual gameplay with names.

[gaunt wraith]

Sometimes it works better if you go to your EA account and find the playtest list there. That should allow you to update your profile as well.

[iron remnant]

If I already have an invitation for the last visit, do I need to wait for a new invitation to participate in this one?

[lethal grail]

Yes

[iron remnant]

nice

[haughty ore]

thank you i had to do it under my profile then preferences,

[iron remnant]

Oh no, I haven't received a new invitation yet. It looks like this is a separate one-time invitation

[mild girder]

if you didnt play the last session then yes but idk if they reinvite people that missed a session

[iron remnant]

I think it won't go wrong.

[torn vector]

Are we allowed to give suggestions to the developers here?

[loud harness]

I wonder if the stress test game build will be the same from last playtest

I think so

[versed token]

Not a single dev will see your suggestions

[iron remnant]

Specific available time can be selected

[clever summit]

Does anyone know how long each session will last this weekend?

[iron remnant]

3

[wintry raptor]

"As part of our ongoing efforts to test the future of Battlefield, starting May 23, we will run a one-time 72-hour Pre-Alpha Server Performance Test in Europe, North America, and select areas of Asia."

[burnt cradle]

3 sessions, per 24h

[mild girder]

people that got invited say that you have to choice from 3 Days, but i doubt you will only be able to play 24H, so its just their Site being weird

as usual

[iron remnant]

In fact, invitees will be asked to select a suitable time period, not a full 72 hours.

[clever summit]

Ah

So i could still play on friday

[mild girder]

maybe, we cant tell

[clever summit]

I cant change the date can i?

[covert nest]

No.

[copper raft]

If I sign up for friday, I can't play on sunday, right?

[mild girder]

If you picked Saturday and it really is just 24h which i doubt, you will only play on that day

but they wont have a way to seperate players for each day in Labs and it would be dumb to not let all players play at once

its a server stress test

so its 72h

[iron remnant]

The invitation instructions are too vague, we will know the details when the time comes

[mild girder]

Details are in the Labs Discord

[iron remnant]

I don't think they can prevent players who choose other time periods from logging in

[covert nest]

So you know. Stop asking here.

If you are in the tests understand what a fucking NDA is.

[mild girder]

frfr

[iron remnant]

[clever summit]

Im assuming we get sent that discord right before pt

[mild girder]

I bet most of them dont even know they signed an NDA when creating the EA Playtesting Acc

[mild girder]

If you are selected, you would know

[clever summit]

🤐 im asking for a friend

[mild girder]

but 90% of all Labs Players are impatient and cant read at all

which is sad

[iron remnant]

Just don't bind your discord account to your ea account

[sand moth]

in the leak we see : "Click the button below to complete a quick survey, If left incomplete yon won't gain access to play"

[covert nest]

I think its fine asking for help and clarification and there should be resources dedicated to that.

[covert nest]

"Read the 17th line of this NDA and put your answer in the text box"

[sand moth]

i cant i dont have the email lol

[covert nest]

Wait no

[sand moth]

i look screenshot of ppl posting it 😉

[covert nest]

Ok I wasn't being a dick there

Yeah yeag

I just wanted to add on to people and ndas.

And people leaking shit

[sand moth]

everything is said in this lol but ppl CANT READ in 2025 😂

[covert nest]

As a way to those people to force them to read.

[mild girder]

the NDA isnt even shown there

lol

[sand moth]

we need chatgpt!!!

[covert nest]

I was saying in theory.

Understand the hypothetical!

[mild girder]

no

[mild girder]

that shit is for losers

People that rely on ChatGPT are dumb af

[covert nest]

Wojacks are so annoying but that one makes me laugh so hard.

Seriously though.

[sand moth]

its too late already lol!

[covert nest]

I hope people who are in the test and are panicking gets in.

Its natural to panic but i think things will sort themselves out soon enough.

[loud harness]

Lmao

[iron remnant]

[mossy marten]

loads 12ga shells

[cerulean sleet]

it's only for ps5

[wintry raptor]

Not true

[cerulean sleet]

(the mail)

[mild girder]

Jesus, 2 Airbus A400M flew over my city

that was interesting

[cerulean sleet]

you can't change

[mossy marten]

Ooooo
Big plane

[mild girder]

and pretty low too

[verbal storm]

does it matter which time selection i choose? or will i be able to participate for all 3 days?

[mild girder]

not even 200-300m

[regal slate]

Why would they ask what platform and then send it for ps5 though lol

[mossy marten]

Did you put multiple platforms when doing the survey way back when?

[regal slate]

I mean when the announcement went up yesterday or whatever I put PC only

but if its for an earlier survey I'm not sure

[mossy marten]

Hmmm, i dont know then, cuz in the survey in the first one, back in feb, they asked what platforms you play on normally

[regal slate]

hm strange

welp that's annoying lmao

[polar narwhal]

When I play the beta on ps5 guys?

[mild girder]

there is no beta lol

not yet at least

[polar narwhal]

*alpha?

[spare zephyr]

[mild girder]

not even alpha

its pre-alpha

[mossy marten]

[mild girder]

"ew words" - average Labs Playtester

[regal slate]

yeah it's very strange

[sharp quarry]

No email:(

[fair pilot]

How do you get notified if you get chosen for a bf6 play test is it just email?

[sharp quarry]

I don’t know, the announcement said it was an email

[regal slate]

yeah it's an email

[stuck heart]

I don't know what to do now. Should I simply ignore the request, select that I'm not interested or just pick a test day and not play? I'd really like to play on PC, but I don't want to risk being excluded from future playtests if I choose something wrong

Only 1

Have you emailed EA Support?

[unborn osprey]

give me code

bf labs

O.o

[mild girder]

there are no codes for pc lol

[unborn osprey]

battlefield heroes

best battlefield game

🙂

[rapid fox]

Yet

[little ocean]

Hi. In my electronic arts page i can only see 2 games but not battlefield why

[mild girder]

unless they wanna invite people via steam lol

[unborn osprey]

hi eren

[rapid fox]

hi yeger

[unborn osprey]

best anime ❤️

[mild girder]

have you signed up before?

[rapid fox]

AFAIK for ea app it's also codes

[rapid fox]

ending's trash though

[little ocean]

Yes

[mild girder]

but they can easily add games tho

[unborn osprey]

y

[rapid fox]

Yeah we'll see

[mild girder]

then you dont need to do it again lol

[rapid fox]

Hi I'm armored titan

This is collossal

[gleaming patrol]

Rip got invite for PS5 while I only play PC

[little ocean]

But i shouldnt see the bf name there?

[stuck heart]

Same

[mild girder]

you already signed up...

why do it again

[little ocean]

My friends see the name battlefield in progress. I cant see it instead

[unborn osprey]

give me

[mild girder]

let me guess, they checked on mobile?

on the mobile site it may show up like this but not on desktop

idk why

[little ocean]

Yes and i did thee same

[mild girder]

learn to read

💀

[velvet anchor]

Translate Bro

🥲

[mild girder]

Lern lesen junge

[velvet anchor]

No

I cant

[mild girder]

we can tell

dont tag the devs btw

[velvet anchor]

Steht halt Nix davon drin wie ich es auf der PS5 runterladen 🥲

[mild girder]

yea ok he will get banned

[unborn osprey]

lol

[mild girder]

bro es stand alles dort, infos folgen demnächst per mail

[gleaming patrol]

If u give me PC

[velvet anchor]

Habe das Datum und die Uhrzeit alles

[unborn osprey]

i have i5 14600kf rtx 3080 ddr 5 32gb 6000mhz

my pc old

[mild girder]

ja und danach wird dir gesagt infos folgen

[velvet anchor]

Musste ja was angeben

[mild girder]

ich weiß das und bin nicht mal eingeladen

[velvet anchor]

Minus Aura

[mild girder]

für dich ja

Lesen ist nicht sooo schwer

[velvet anchor]

Trust da stand Nix

[vale burrow]

if you get access to this test do you get access to future smaller BF labs tests too?

[velvet anchor]

Sonst würde ich Nix schreiben

[mild girder]

u technically should but cant tell

[vale burrow]

their wording is so odd

[small cove]

"Email me about EA's products, news, events, and promotions." does ths influence invitations to labs?

[mild girder]

no

[keen heart]

Who did you email?

[mild girder]

I guess he just replied to that mail

lol

[modern inlet]

Weird that there’s no like specific contact for labs tbh

Best you kind of have is this lol

[verbal crypt]

Surely they wouldn’t be inviting people to play on consoles they don’t even own/have. Surely they would have a system in place that ensures players get invited to their specified platform from the surveys

[modern inlet]

They don’t have the technology

[gleaming patrol]

Man, it is so tiresome...

Finally got invited, then got invited for the wrong platform

[verbal crypt]

Surely if that happened to me I wouldn’t crash out

[mild girder]

surely they dont care

[rotund pier]

they don't

the survey literally says "console/pc or mobile"

and that's it

[stuck heart]

If they answer, it would be very nice if you could write what the support says about it

[verbal crypt]

Billion dollar company smh lol. I could find someone on Reddit/github to create a working orderly system for this wtf

Invite me on my non existent iPad let’s go

[rotund pier]

you can choose if you want to only be chosen for mobile devices though

which

yeah

mobile only yes, but PC or console only no

[lethal grail]

Welcome to the wrong platform club.

[rotund pier]

I still don't understand how mobile """"gaming"""" is apparently so big

[tough zinc]

can I play on the fridge?

[lethal grail]

Gacha games

[verbal crypt]

Just a crazy concept. We want to ramp up players to REALLY test performance and things but half the people we invite won’t even be able to play lmao

[rotund pier]

I have yet to met a SINGLE person who has played CoD mobile

[lethal grail]

Honkai Star Rail made 100mil+usd last month from a character banner. Mobile gaming is huge.

[mild girder]

hi

you called

[topaz ivy]

It's big in Asia. And games like clash of clans, subway surfers etc are big in general

[mild girder]

💀

another one

[topaz ivy]

CET is Europe

[pearl shuttle]

Okokokok ty 🌹🌹🌹

[verbal crypt]

Server is going to be one big crash out the rest of the week lol

[mild girder]

would be funny

and then they all complain on here instead of the labs server

[cinder fox]

Do you need PS+ to participate on the playstation play test?

[minor linden]

Don’t confirm if you’ve been invited or not. It’s against the nda

[minor linden]

You need to be able to connect to online games

[lethal grail]

Pay to play online is stupid

[cinder fox]

I figured that was the case, so just removed the PS5 from my profile/preferences. sigh oh well, I vastly prefer first person shooter with a mouse and keyboard vs a controller, so probably for the best.

[merry canyon]

You can do that?

[cinder fox]

I logged into my bflabs and edited my preferences (basically re-filling out the survey and unchecked mobile devices and ps5)

[merry canyon]

Ooooh alright

Thank you

Lemme do that aswell

My brother stole my ps5 unfortunately

[cinder fox]

The Wooooorst!

[merry canyon]

Only thing I played on it was Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls

But it sucks

[vocal axle]

Seems like everyone got in to this next test.

[rotund pier]

glad to see everyone's getting invited but me

[verbal crypt]

50% of people are invited to a platform they don’t even own lol

[nimble bridge]

[rapid walrus]

thats bs

[clear viper]

You just violated your NDA

[dire sable]

sue him xD

[mossy marten]

Dang, there's a lot of NDA breakers today

[heavy palm]

I’m not able to either just takes me back to sign in page

[clever summit]

Im pretty sure free to play games dont require ps plus

[rapid walrus]

click on my profile and there should be a box that says preference

[mossy marten]

is it a free to play game though
BF has always been a "premium" game that costs $$

[cinder fox]

Hopefully my question doesn't count as such, as there isn't a direct "ask support this question" link or anything specified in the theoretical invite

[mossy marten]

the question could be answered by simply
#battlefield-labs-discussion message

[heavy palm]

That worked thanks

[clear viper]

From what I've heard they have a whole discord server where you can get answers to your questions as well.

[rapid walrus]

👍

[cinder fox]

You're correct, my apologies -
Battlefield Labs will be available on PC via the EA App, PlayStation 5 (PlayStation Plus subscription required), and Xbox Series X|S (Xbox Game Pass Core (formerly known as Xbox Live Gold) required)

[heavy palm]

I have a question too but don’t want to break nda

[upper crown]

😂😂😂

[silver cedar]

If I sign up all those months ago am I good?

[nimble bridge]

Good, more people break their NDAs higher chance for us to get in 🤣

[clear viper]

Only if you get an email saying you got invited

[silver cedar]

Okay thanks

[burnt cradle]

ye, but funny thing, people who signed up yesterday gets access

this is bs

[mossy marten]

if you expressed interest in Labs back in Feb, you don't have to worry about re-registering
It's not guaranteed access though, still invite only

[rapid walrus]

i mean u cant really tell if there breaking it they could just be lying saying they got it

[silver cedar]

Okay thanks mate

[nimble bridge]

You have to connect your discord account to your EA profile so...

[heavy palm]

If someone received an invite to the wrong platform could they do anything about it

[rapid walrus]

i never did that

[nimble bridge]

Maybe it's different in this but in previous tests you had to

[mild girder]

you have to tho or else you wont be able to play

[rapid walrus]

source?

[split zealot]

Are you guys getting emails from Battlefield Labs? I am not getting anything... If I login to the site, I can see "YOUR PLAYTESTS" what playtest im in!

[heavy palm]

If you didn’t get an email you’re not in

[turbid coral]

Do i need to change my tv settings for playtest?

[split zealot]

Have NEVER got any mail from EA playtest, have been in other over the years!

[mild girder]

If they wouldnt do that, then anyone with a code could play. With EA Playtests you ALWAYS needs an EA Account

People would sell codes for money and they dont want that

so they link access to Accounts

not codes themselves

[split zealot]

Have NEVER got any mail from EA playtest, have been in other over the years!

[rapid walrus]

yea i have an ea account i just didnt link my discord to it

[tepid plinth]

Have you accessed it through the bf labs site

[ebon delta]

The Battlefield labs playtest doesn't even show as an option for me anymore on the playtesting site.

[split zealot]

yes, but I never get any mails from ea about it

[mild girder]

bc u already signed up

[mild girder]

bc u arent in

[ebon delta]

It only disappeared this morning when I went to check. Odd

[tepid plinth]

You should have been sent at least one confirming registration, but I got mine like a full month after doing it

[mild girder]

those mails are just bc people cried about them

[frigid granite]

What platform do you usually use for game testing

[mild girder]

well time to check ur spam folder

lol

[mild girder]

the one where i dont break the NDA

[split zealot]

Never got any... what email are they sending from?

[split zealot]

and no mail in spam, checking all the time

[frigid granite]

Maybe we'll have it tomorrow

🤣

[split zealot]

do anyone know the email adresse EA are sending playtest mail from?

[glacial inlet]

Hey guys i got a slot for pre alpha testing this sunday. its on ps5 (sadly no pc slot 😦

what do i need to do on my ps5 in order to be able to play on sunday?

[mild girder]

1. learn to read, everything was being said

2. wait for further infos

[pulsar shard]

I’ve got invited ! Good luck everyone

[minor linden]

It’s just how PlayStations works in general. You need PlayStation plus essential at minimum to play any online games

[pulsar shard]

The Invites are out

[mild girder]

I dont trust you

[glacial inlet]

Your name clearly is not what ppl get from you

[mild girder]

i legit told you that you just needed to read

not my fault

[glacial inlet]

Also I registered PC as my platform and got a ps5 invite (I don’t have PS Plus) so the Sunday invite is worth nothing for me I guess

[glacial inlet]

I have read through all the info after my invite email. If I’m supposed to read all the chatlogs in here with you I’m out of luck I guess

[mild girder]

You also read the NDA?

dont think so

[snow nest]

I have an email for playtest,I did every step and now I'm waiting for redeem code but still nothing

[mild girder]

they just keep coming..

[glacial inlet]

I’m German. What does MDA mean

[mild girder]

look what you did ea

[mild girder]

im german too,thats not an excuse

[glacial inlet]

I just thing your someone with way too much time on there hand to spam out salty comments for every single person in here 😂

Think*

So nvm

Thanks for the help I guess ✌️

[mossy marten]

NDA is non disclosure agreement
aka, you can't talk about stuff that they mention

and seeing the email invites people posted on reddit that include a quite LARGE red box saying no talking about the playtest, game, or this email that you received

[mild girder]

the red box is in every EA Playtesting email btw

[mossy marten]

never been invited 🤷‍♂️
going off the stuff that's been leaked

[mild girder]

no i mean not even for playtests lol

i swear they were also in mails just asking you to update your preferences

[minor linden]

I’ll take it if you aren’t using it

(I’m pretty sure there’s a no-sharing clause in the nda)

[mossy marten]

never got those 🤷‍♂️

[glacial inlet]

once again i dont know what you guys mean by nda

[nimble bridge]

They locked the other BF labs blog channels Mods are listening

[glacial inlet]

thanks

[split zealot]

From what e-mail are the message coming from?

[glacial inlet]

see THATs helpful

[nimble bridge]

Many people will get their access revoked lmao

[mild girder]

frfr

cant wait for them crying

[mild girder]

tbh, i dont think so, let me check

oh i just found something interesting

"If you participate in the Pre-Release Feedback Program offline, this data will be stored on your device and transmitted to EA when your device connects to the Internet."

[cursive ridge]

Wish people could just read.

[mild girder]

thats creepy

[mild girder]

yea this is not allowed

[minor linden]

That’s probably just so that they get all the feedback instead of losing some due to… “unintelligent users”

[snow nest]

So other people have the same problem as I?

[glacial inlet]

sorry would have been happy to share the code because i will most definetely not buy PS Plus just for Labs purposes

[mild girder]

still not allowed and you could lose your EA Account for that

[glacial inlet]

i might not remember correctly but i think somwhere down the line as part of the registration process you could give info on your preferred platform...

Might be mistaken tho

[glacial inlet]

i know you wrote it some messages before that its forbidden so i will not share the code.

im just sad that i got one for Ps5

[unborn osprey]

i got bf labs

😄

[snow nest]

Did they send redeem codes for this alpha test or not?

[unborn osprey]

no

no codes

for pc

[glacial inlet]

ok

[mild girder]

they could do codes if they want people to invite them for steam

yes, labs is available on steam

[glacial inlet]

ok then i was just mistaken bei thinking thewy would send out PC codes as well

[mild girder]

but those are pretty rare i think

since its easier with EA App

[split zealot]

Can someone please tell me the mail EA are sending invites from? Have to whitelist it on my mail…

[snow nest]

I'm on ps5 and they send an email that they choose me for playtesting,I did every send they told me and they said that they will send me an email with the redeem code

[mild girder]

Ok, T0TALfps made a comment on Reddit where he says that the Invite is ONLY for the 72 Hours and after that you wont have access to labs until you are chosen

[snow nest]

But still nothing

[mild girder]

And it will be 72h so doesnt matter which day you choose

[daring lantern]

Watching all the leakers get access to the game while I sit here with nothing to do is degrading my mental health

[daring lantern]

If you don’t already have one you aren’t getting one. People on Reddit are breaking NDA showing off their emails

[split zealot]

And from that email are they sending it?

[sweet tusk]

Is each alpha test its own totally unique set of players? Or does getting invited once give you access to all future tests?

[split zealot]

Dont Care with mail, I only need the e-mail address to withlist it

[mild girder]

nope, if you get into labs you can play all future sessions. This Test doesnt include labs btw

[clear viper]

You guys are throwing out your NDAs like candy lmao

[mild girder]

not me tho

[sweet tusk]

Oh I didn’t realize this test was separate from Labs

[clear viper]

It's not 😭

[mild girder]

it is

[snow nest]

Omg I'm confused

[mild girder]

I wanna quote T0TALfps on this one: "Correction, this is in reference to the 72 Hour time limit on the test itself. Access for participants invited will find that it is for that 72 hours only. After this, you will still be able to be invited in the future through normal means. "

[clear viper]

I see

[snow nest]

Are they gone to send mails with redeem codes for that test or not?

[mild girder]

Staying in chat and reading the same questions is making me go insane

[snow nest]

I'm in bf labs but I have not redeem code

Sorry man

[mild girder]

you arent even meant to talk about labs

but nobody gives a damn about the NDA sadly

Pinging devs is btw not allowed if they arent active in chat

[sweet tusk]

I think that’s specifically in reference to the invite. Basically saying that if you don’t accept the invite expires within 72 hours but if you don’t accept you can still get another one later. Maybe I’m wrong

[mild girder]

Nope thats not how it goes

the Invite expires before the test even starts

[clear viper]

Same questions, constant NDA violations, it's ridiculous 😭

[mild girder]

frfr

[abstract path]

Enable south america for the love of god!

[mild girder]

Im so sorry for the person that is responsible for banning these people

he cant catch a break

[rain aspen]

they probably have better things to do than banning the hundreds of peoplet alking about it on discord lol

[mild girder]

they do tho

[clear viper]

They take NDA violations very seriously

[solar delta]

That is good they are doing that

[snow nest]

Αυτοί δεν απαντάνε ρε φιλε,κάτι για nda λένε και τετοια

You wont be invited to that

i just learned that this test is not Labs itself but just for stress testing the servers. you will have no access to it after 72h

[earnest quiver]

Klaiw

Και το αστείο είναι ότι το σάιτ για Ασία δεν δουλεύει οπότε δεν μπορώ να κάνω accept to invite 😂

[abstract path]

The only class I care is the the class action lawsuit if you guys don't give us SA servers

[mild girder]

💀

[mossy marten]

the game's not even out yet, and people wanna sue

[covert nest]

Too much the community doesnt

[crystal veldt]

Will the test last 3 days?

[pliant nebula]

guns should not be usable by all classes

[waxen inlet]

Yo DID i GET LET IN?

[crystal veldt]

Can I play at any time during these three days?confused

[dawn rampart]

Wgats that

[half halo]

Yes

Or no

I don't know

Not invited

[celest bone]

How do I get access

[half halo]

You can't

[clear viper]

I'm weak 😭

[half halo]

We can't

[molten roost]

urghhhh latest labs post means still no class locked weapons 😦

[dawn rampart]

Realease date

[celest bone]

I need access

[nova cloak]

[mossy marten]

i was right about people raging about no class locked weapons

[zenith glacier]

lock weapons to classes ffs

[zenith glacier]

wasn’t it obvious? Nobody wants that lmao

[radiant heath]

I still don't know how I feel about class locked vs unlocked weapons. I feel like in the end it's been better for team play locking them, but sometimes more fun when they don't

[mossy marten]

for me, it's kinda a whatever thing 🤷‍♂️

[radiant heath]

I don't feel super strongly but I think I slightly prefer the class locked

[mossy marten]

i can do class locked or not class locked

[zenith glacier]

I already see medics with sniper rifles camping with a health crate

[verbal crypt]

I’m somewhat indifferent about it but I think I lean more towards class locked as well

[radiant heath]

Yeah. Although battlefield snipers are gonna camp in spawn regardless of health crate lol

[fierce otter]

It should be like bf4 tbh with locked weapons but all classes get shotguns, carbines and Marksman Rifles. But the main class be locked to that class. Some freedom without assault or support running snipers or something.

[nova cloak]

[rotund pier]

YYES

CLASS RESTRICTED WEAPONS

[tawny vortex]

only class system I need for this game to be fun is one that gives me an LMG and extra ammo, thnx. Looking forward to test 😘

[rotund pier]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-ares-destroy-my-enemies-and-my-life-is-yours-gif-7965707800203237625

fuck

[mossy marten]

it isn't

[rotund pier]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

[radiant heath]

brother is about to be disappointed by their own reading comprehension 😂

[rotund pier]

IR EAD THAT

[mossy marten]

it's open for all classes

[rotund pier]

I LITERALLY READ

"DMRs and shotguns remain open"

[radiant heath]

This is hilarious lmao

[rotund pier]

AH FUCK

THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR READING TOO FAST

[steady panther]

The devs have two choices, if they change nothing people will call the formula tired and stale and go back to their Battle Royale well until that runs dry too.

If the devs change anything people will scream bloody murder about DEI, nostalgia for old maps, and how they wish it was still the year 2010.

Face it. The biggest mistake the company could ever make is to release battlefield 6 in any way shape or form. All these mongrels want is Battlefield 4, 2.

[crystal veldt]

as i know,its yes

[rotund pier]

nvm then

[cosmic oak]

God... So basically the classes are just 2042 😭,

[rotund pier]

my disappointment knows no bounds

we are so back 2042 😔

[mossy marten]

CLASS-DEFINING

Signature Weapon: Each class has a Signature Weapon category tied to their class identity, which, when used, enhances their role on the battlefield.
,

same system as 2042

[mild girder]

Each class just has a Signature Weapon Type with own perks

[radiant heath]

Hey wait a second, I'd also accept a BF1 crossplay remaster with a better menu system 😂

[minor linden]

2042 but certain weapons get certain perks on each class

[rotund pier]

damn I was so excited thinking this could be a good game but nvm then 😔

[minor linden]

With the perks being borderline useless

[vocal current]

Bf 2043 or smth

[cosmic oak]

They already do tho in 2042

[mossy marten]

bro thinking that class locked weapons make's it automatically a good game

[minor linden]

Like who is going to use recon for sniper for the increased held breath time

[rotund pier]

yes

it does to me

[radiant heath]

The auto tagging thing is useful but I hope it's not overpowered

[minor linden]

Tagging itself seems like it needs to be slightly nerfed so the auto tagging could be really annoying

[mossy marten]

i'm indifferent about it 🤷‍♂️

[covert nest]

Here is less chaotic

[flint atlas]

class locked weapons are easier to balance kits around

[covert nest]

Im comfortable

[mossy marten]

yeah, no slow mode is pain

[rotund pier]

I like that the reception on #1374763710169616525 is being abysmal

as should be

praised be community

🙏

[zenith glacier]

The weapon defines the playstyle. Playstyle = class

[zenith glacier]

It absolutely does

[flint atlas]

classes are the games indentity, any weapon on any class just breaks it

[granite carbon]

Bring back squad leader abilities like bf5? Where the squad leader can call for supports like artillery, vehicle, crate drop etc after accumulating points

[rotund pier]

I just don't understand why they feel the need to reinvent the wheel with every fucking game

well, that's bs because they aren't reinventing shit

it's just 2042 copy pasted

[nova cloak]

[granite carbon]

Bf2042 didn't have a class system

[zenith glacier]

DICE, trying not to shoot themselves in the foot = impossible

[proven sand]

2042 was good

[neon walrus]

When can we get a download link ?

[granite carbon]

EA is pulling the strings

[zenith glacier]

💀

[umbral shard]

this. all they have to do is make it so you can use most weapons except for the guns each class is known for. Assault can use everything except for LMGs and Snipers, or Recons can only use DMR/Carbine/Sniper for example.

[rain aspen]

what's going to happen if you don't get access?

[proven sand]

i played it and had fun

[willow dove]

it should be available in EA app library, right?

[proven sand]

you people just complain, just play the fucking game or dont no ones forcing you to

[granite carbon]

Besides, the devs who worked on the past games left after bf5

[zenith glacier]

good for you, the majority hadn’t

[nova cloak]

2042 goated

[proven sand]

then dont play???

[granite carbon]

Hardline is better than BF2042

[mossy marten]

i would say more the gadgets and grenades gives classes the identity over a singular gun class
BF4 had one weapon locked and 3 open categories
it's not gonna be the end of the world lol

[median zenith]

I literally just opened discord and came here to ask the same question 😅

[mossy marten]

oh and class specilizations

[oak condor]

As you engage more in a match, you'll gradually earn flat-stat bonuses and more
this was the exact wrong lesson to learn from armor plates, introduced randomness in gameplay is frustrating and not fun

[flint atlas]

they want us to talk about the game what are you on, thats what this entire server is for

[zenith glacier]

stop trolling pls

[proven sand]

you guys are literally complaining about weapons bro

[surreal kraken]

2042 had some good maps ruined cause of open weapons things, exposure with snipers abusing lock ons is horrible

[willow dove]

its literally a game about weapons bro

[rotund pier]

hold up I might be missremembering, help me out with this

[proven sand]

idk man i was having too much fun blowing up helicopters

[rotund pier]

the AKM was team locked in BF3 correct?

[proven sand]

my literal only problem with 2042 was it having bots in lobbies

[rotund pier]

until you leveled up to a certain level?

[granite carbon]

Nope

[mossy marten]

BF3 was the last game with faction locked weapons

[minor linden]

Imo Hardline is unironically the best bf game when it comes to “soldiers”

Removing armored vehicles made them have to focus on gunplay so much more

[mossy marten]

until a certain class rank

[rotund pier]

thought so

[surreal kraken]

wdym nope

[rain aspen]

it was until you reached the highest assault rank, same for the M16A3

[flint atlas]

i think its just the squad specialisation bonuses but unlocked over time instead of with squad xp

[rotund pier]

yeah yeah

I remembered something like that but I couldn't figure out if my mind was just making shit up

[proven sand]

mfs complaining over nothing then 😭

[granite carbon]

People used to hate Hardline for not being battlefield enough, a lot of people reconsidered it when bf2042 came out.

[rotund pier]

faction locked =/= class locked

class locked weapons were a thing until 2042

[oak condor]

then people should be mad about them removing a "teamplay element", as flimsy as it was lol

[surreal kraken]

snipers shouldnt be enouraged to carry lock ons to hard to get places just to get cheap kills on vehicles

[long pollen]

I don’t even care about the classes I just want an invite 😂

[minor linden]

Yeah. Hardline is literally just 4 with a different theme, reworked gunplay, and no armored vehicles like tanks

[granite carbon]

Naval combat is a must in the next battlefield. No battlefield since 1 had a good naval combat

[proven sand]

deadass the game looks fire to play

[mossy marten]

don't say that, people will attack you

[flint atlas]

it was way too hard to get and keep all 4 pekrs, you picked the perk tree for the 1st perk and the rest was rng

[rotund pier]

naw I'll only attack DICE for making shit decissions

[mossy marten]

naval combat, imho, is kinda a meh thing

[long pollen]

At this point anything would be welcome lmao

[rotund pier]

but hopefully the backlash will make them lock weapons behind classes

[covert nest]

Im more concerned around balancing the weapons to be open ended to be fair.

[granite carbon]

People liked bf4's naval combat, especially paracel storm

[cinder fox]

What weapon was class-locked? Did something change recently? They added class-locked gadgets but not weapons IIRC

[flint atlas]

it was just tanks but wet

[rotund pier]

eh?

[proven sand]

theyre just complaining theres no class locked weapons

[granite carbon]

Heligoland was peak in bf1

[cinder fox]

oops sorry mis-read, thought you said they were in 2042 my bad

[maiden snow]

Some get invites ?

[mossy marten]

i wouldn't call that naval combat imo
just a strong af boat that farms infantry 🤷‍♂️
if it was tru naval combat, there would be differnt boats, subs, etc

but imagine trying to balance a submarine, fuck nah

[zenith glacier]

True, but coulve been a bit smaller. The smaller island in particular

[golden cloak]

I don’t think not having class lock is that big of a deal🤷‍♂️

[rotund pier]

I hope naval combat makes a return honestly

[proven sand]

class locked or not people would sit with snipers on cheap spots anyways

[covert nest]

I think things can go either way, its annoying balancing with a locked class its annoying balancing it open ended.

[rotund pier]

imo that was one of the biggest improvements of bf4 over 3

[crude bronze]

yeah cuz your brain cant comprehend what it does to the gameplay

[woven kiln]

is this the labs discord?

[median zenith]

I got invite but have no idea how to download it. I guess it will be available on Friday?

[mossy marten]

no

[oak condor]

i'd rather they not have it at all, it's just funny trying to apply shitter logic consistently

[cinder fox]

I'm indifferent on naval combat, I see it being interesting in some cases but then as others said a boat can just spawn camp a beach and mow down guys, but I'd prefer maps to have it as an option versus pretending it doesn't exist at all

[zenith glacier]

no

[mossy marten]

just a public discussion channel

[proven sand]

literally what does it change

[nova mauve]

Does anyone know how active field upgrades work yet

[proven sand]

oh wow the other dude is camping with a sniper on a roof, if he wanted to do it with class locked weapons he would anyways

[minor linden]

It means people using snipers can also use grenade launchers or ammo crates or rocket launchers

[mossy marten]

🤷‍♂️
i wasn't invited to anything

[crude bronze]

class identity. why would a sniper run around with lmgs, or an engineer sniping backline while he could be on the front fixing vehicles, shooting down vehicles???

[rotund pier]

Again, I think of it as a game of chess, you can tell what weapon the person might be using from their class, the weapons being open choice is like having the knight move as a queen

[flint atlas]

spawning in with a sniper rifle, ammo box and some other gadget that can be resupplied is not good

[mossy marten]

all i see is a class icon and someone to shoot

doesn't matter what gun they have

[proven sand]

did you guys even read, gadgets are still class locked

[rotund pier]

good luck fighting someone from the next hill when they have a sniper rifle and you have a smg

[flint atlas]

class silhouetes arnent really an issue when time to kill is so fast

[mossy marten]

i know

[mossy atlas]

bro you're not making these kind of decisions in a shooter like this, what are you talking about? Red icon above head, aim and shoot

[proven sand]

its literally the third fucking line

[golden cloak]

Literally don’t get what they’re crying about. I don’t care if a medic has a sniper lol

[proven sand]

Class Gadgets: You'll have the option to carry two gadgets onto the battlefield, tailored to each class and its specific role.

[mossy marten]

wlel yeah, i'll be able to tell cuz scope glint
then i just ignore them if it's open space cuz they ain't doing anything for their team

[proven sand]

theyre bitching about nothing
