battlefield-2042

[sour meadow]

could be worse i guess

gives me time to eat

[solid imp]

love the positivity 🙂

[gusty needle]

thats also not unique, why give steam a portion of profit when you can just download it online

[sour meadow]

we could be playing redfall

[solid imp]

access to playerbase, exposure to more people who only browse the store in one place

[edgy oriole]

redfall kinda dope

[upbeat sand]

Like WW3 and it needs to be downloaded by the much slower mb launcher instead of just downloading the 50gb on steam then having first time launch download the launcher

Like with EA games

[sour meadow]

i heard it's a broken overpriced piece of shit

[solid imp]

and also steam is fairly standard these days, lots of people complained that it wasn't in steam

and then it was back in steam but people complain about it being in steam /shrug

[edgy oriole]

overpriced for sure. and buggy but not heap of trash buggy imo

id say its a 30 game

[sour meadow]

i can't wait for bf to go $70 base

[gloomy latch]

i heard it runs like ass

[edgy oriole]

i cant comment on that bc my system a beef boy.

[gusty needle]

idc ill just sell some stuff i have in my steam inventory for it since bf games are on steam now

[gloomy latch]

play star wars survivor then

[gusty needle]

still cringe to mark games up tho

[livid swift]

what I find stupid is having to open EAs broken app to launch the game...like keep it all ingame or something

[gusty needle]

then again, idk shit about game development so

[sour meadow]

shit blows

[livid swift]

for Steams users I mean

[edgy oriole]

i didnt play the first one really and kinda dont wanna play this one. im not really a soul game kinda fan

[solid imp]

it doesn't help the EA app is fairly awful.. not all launcher launches launcher schemes are terrible... cumbersome but not terrible

[upbeat sand]

Fucking Vampire with blue rotating sheild

[livid swift]

10 years from now they gonna face ID you for every time you open a game I swear

[rocky bear]

cant make me buy a camera tho

[edgy oriole]

nothing the UV beam gun cant fix

[gloomy latch]

10 years? dont mobile games use face id rn anyway?

[solid imp]

if your phone has it enabled/allow the app to use it

[sour meadow]

mobile games

[solid imp]

lots of people don't/won't

[gloomy latch]

mobile game trends come to the rest of the platforms eventually

[zenith hemlock]

게임이 앙대..

[solid imp]

oh so instead of an ad interrupting bf someday they'll just put full on commercials in game playing on a billboard with a tiny 'x' that you can't quiiiiite hit with a bullet to turn it off

[gloomy latch]

the X button redirects you to a cryptoscam website

[solid imp]

lol teleport to some random room on the map somewhere

[rocky bear]

immersion

i would honestly prefer this

[solid imp]

as long as it's destructible 😄

[gusty needle]

there already are ads in 2042

[solid imp]

yeah but ads for Fruijin don't count lol

[gloomy latch]

didnt they put ads on the floor in the ufc fighting game?

classic EA move

[rocky bear]

i think this isnt ea specific tho

[gusty needle]

also logitech

[edgy oriole]

well the octagon is one big ad

[solid imp]

ohh forgot about that... Hourglass billboards yea?

[gloomy latch]

the in game car radio will sell yoiu real stuff

[solid imp]

I'd be okay with that if I could link a real spotify playlist to the car radio

[gusty needle]

ive never heard an ad in the radio

[gloomy latch]

ai generated radio host voice targetting each player individually thanks to google adsense

[solid imp]

and as long as Oz interrupts occasionally

[edgy oriole]

my fav ad in games was the monster energy in death stranding

[gusty needle]

you mean walking simulator

[upbeat sand]

I was on manifest and the car radio have my an Ad about Synseco and how it was the future and growing and agriculture

[next onyx]

I forget the ads are a thing.

[edgy oriole]

a lot of games are walking simulators

[remote kiln]

still waiting on the infamous explosion on flashpoint everyone was convinced about on launch of s4

[next onyx]

To be honest as dumb as it sounds. I wouldn't mind a billboard ad as long as it was linked to the Animal planet channel.

Thinking back on that monkey ad on siege of shanghai.

[solid imp]

until it opens a tab in a browser when you get too close to it

and your game alt-tabs

[upbeat sand]

I think I remember S3's map trailer had something bout the D flag being able to blow up

[gloomy latch]

in a battle against the commies?? drink a pepsi

[upbeat sand]

Never seen it tho

[gusty needle]

idc about real ads on billboards as long as it gets additional funding for game development and isnt unskippable/interferes with gameplay

[solid imp]

There's the Spearhead missile strike that came out of the easter egg

and ever since the missile strike has been part of the matches

[untold kindle]

EA Apps down ?

[gusty needle]

i miss the old ee's tho

i yearn for the morse code

[upbeat sand]

Ea's servers got fucked rn

[solid imp]

these last EEs were... hard af

[untold kindle]

oh rip :*(

[gloomy latch]

when you try to aim but the billboard blinds the scope

[solid imp]

that Exposure one

dang

And I was crawling all over cliffsides looking for things and never found it, had to use the guide 😦

very sad

[gusty needle]

which

[solid imp]

I must have been meters away

You had to hack the thing with Rao and open a crate

[upbeat sand]

Really I did it like in 5

Hardest part was trying to get too it even tho I could see it

[gusty needle]

i dont think i did that one

[thin quiver]

[solid imp]

Everyone knew about the switches on the walls but finding the crate to know the switch order was the key

[upbeat sand]

Wonder if the squad orders will have the S3 cruise missle

[sour meadow]

doubt it

[solid imp]

COD vibes

I think squad orders will be more an XP event thing

[upbeat sand]

I mean it gives off Bfv's V1 rocket vibes

But more modern

[solid imp]

and squad management will be more of a party/matchmaking thing

[last schooner]

Servers Down?

[upbeat sand]

Ya

[bold bane]

yes

[solid imp]

I personally want it to be more than just an XP event but my expectations are tempered lol

[sour meadow]

soivers

[solid imp]

Would like squad call-ins and perks and such

If mackay is squad leader and the squad racks up enough XP everyone gets a grapple gun

[sour meadow]

i want to be able to call in supply boxes

getting resupplied is a bitch

[gusty needle]

i wish 2042's weapon selection was better, rather than just adding niche gadgets and stuff for standing in a circle for 3 minutes

[upbeat sand]

Wait does the game have Squad order fulfilled

I think I've never seen it even when I cap myself

[solid imp]

They added XP events for fulfilling support requests like resupply and revive

not sure about squad orders..

[livid swift]

well yeah...but xp events only gives you level ups which in turn gives....you guessed it, nothing.
Squad orders with actual IN MATCH rewards such as a missile call in or something objective related would make more sense

give me a 2x ticket presence reward in objective zones for accomplishing squad orders and boom, teamwork++

[solid imp]

agree, but they would have to roll out a whole structure to make that happen... again agreed it would be nice but... expectations lol

[livid swift]

nothing crazy, it could be just straight up numbers / stats changes like the ticket presence

with the way specialists are in now + vehicle call ins, there's already stuff that can't go through for squad orders probably

[solid imp]

So vehicle call-ins are interesting because iirc they said that was put in entirely because originally they expected players in large maps to cap a flag, stop, call in a fast mover, and proceed to the next flag.

But since they realized that wasn't happening and players weren't behaving as expected, not sure how much time they're spending on enriching call-ins

[livid swift]

yeah, I use it for calling tranposrts/brawlers in secluded points if it's the case, but like you're saying, 90% of the time I don't see anything dropping

more flexibility resulted in an identity crisis imo :)) you can do everything but why do anything when you can just camp stuff, right?

[solid imp]

more flexibility resulted in an identity crisis imo
and thus, classes are returned to the game lol

[copper ice]

if they wanted people to call a fast mover and progress then they needed to not make vehicles painfully vulnerable up close and so effective at camping (everything has aoe cannons)

this is directly caused by how they designed the game

[lyric snow]

why aint my ea app launching

😡

[gloomy latch]

serves down

[edgy oriole]

ea died

[lyric snow]

scam

[next onyx]

Someone headbutted the part that does the login service part in their servers and it's all gone to shit.

[livid swift]

I mean how can you, as a DICE developer, look at your franchise history and think "hmmmm, yeah, no restrictions on classes would be more Battlefield than what we did 1942 through 5", with exceptions as it was when in 4 you could have carbines/DMRs/shottys for all ofc

bet some of them haven't even heard of Codename Eagle :))

[still vault]

Being a Moderator does not mean you work for DICE or EA. I don't work for EA or DICE.

[gloomy latch]

lol

[livid swift]

Wasn't directed towards you, I meant "you" as in a developer working in that domain

[solid imp]

I'm good, we're good 🙂

[livid swift]

Sorry if it came the wrong way

[solid imp]

we are allllll good

except EA app isn't good

[livid swift]

been down for >30 min now?

[solid imp]

for a moment the behavior was different and looked like a proxy/cookie/session issue not loading in a frame, now it's back to the more generic connectivity error

[still vault]

Even the EA Updater downloads slow atm. so something is probably wrong

[low timber]

Kaossilator, was it you or Windowsman that wanted the Irish BF4 skin?

[solid imp]

I don't recall asking for it so probably Windows

but it would be nice anyway, good idea 🙂

[gloomy latch]

who does ea use for its cloud servers

[solid imp]

I'm going to guess AWS, lots of people use AWS

[low timber]

Well just did read that what if it’s a reward form a Battlefest?

As there is a Temporyal tweet saying he thinks there will be a Battlefest.

[gloomy latch]

yeah ea uses AWS

[low timber]

And I have said that it could be a Season 5 tier 100 reward but it was visible on the S4 trailer

Speak of the devil, Windowsman is here

[quaint vector]

Whole EA Services are down at this moment... So we can have a great time here..

[thin quiver]

yeah even the auth server as it came up with 80s style activation screen

[next onyx]

DOS?

[quaint vector]

[next onyx]

Fuck me.

[low timber]

So what do you think Windowsman, if we do get a Battlefest and the BF4 Irish skin would be a reward?

[next onyx]

I feel old when people mention DOS.

[solid imp]

I feel reminiscent when people mention DOS

[next onyx]

I didn't use it a whole lot but my mum was super good with it.

[surreal pivot]

I dont even know what DOS is

[quaint vector]

That Skin shouldn't be time limited... No, no no, that's the answer from me.

[sour meadow]

old computer OS

[humble hound]

are the servers down?

[low timber]

Will you buy it for me then? jk

[sour meadow]

yea

[fresh lintel]

I know what DOS is but havent touched it.

The oldest OS ive used was Windows XP.

[surreal pivot]

how old we talkin

[fresh lintel]

Older than 2000's kids.

[sour meadow]

80's-90's

[thin quiver]

pre windows me

[surreal pivot]

DAMN

[next onyx]

XP was goated.

[sour meadow]

oldest i used was probably XP or 98

[surreal pivot]

Oldest I used was XP

[quaint vector]

I can do a giveaway for it tho...

[next onyx]

10 is the best we have though.

[surreal pivot]

family puter

[sour meadow]

i'm using 11

[fresh lintel]

Vista was the goat

[solid imp]

wut

I've literally never seen anyone say that 😄

[next onyx]

With doom, Crystal caves, mechwarrior, COD 1 and 2, Medal of honour and all that good stuff.

[gloomy latch]

Must be a big problem it's affected every way online game

[fresh lintel]

What, vista is the goat?

[solid imp]

no

it wasn't lol

[sour meadow]

windows 9

[surreal pivot]

yeah I upgraded to 11 a couple days ago and I like it so far

[thin quiver]

and offline XD

[fresh lintel]

I'm not a tech wizard but it did its job

It looked nice too 😤

[next onyx]

https://youtu.be/jMvn6B6avrk @fresh lintel

[solid imp]

I mean to each their own, I find myself stepping into that realm of telling people what they should like... sorry about that.

[fresh lintel]

That is slander

[copper ice]

so people can all play as their favourite specialist and buy their skins
it literally all comes down to that

[gloomy latch]

Vista was a plague

[surreal pivot]

medal of honour

[gloomy latch]

Beginning of modern windows spyware

[solid imp]

I feel Vista was that typical Microsoft release pattern was upheld with Vista... every other OS is good, the ones in between they tried to do new stuff that eventually led to a good OS

[fresh lintel]

Nah its fine dont worry. I liked Vista because I genuinely didnt use anything else until W10-11

XP usage was here and there because it wasnt my computer.

But when I did have my own computer it was Vista. Every time. Because I had no control over what OS could be on it 🤭

[next onyx]

A good OS is one that tries to be simple.

Which was W XP & W 10.

[sour meadow]

i tried playing max payne 1 on my machine

didn't work

game too old. pc too stronk

[livid swift]

It's just sad man...why stain the name of the franchise like that. I would put money in for cosmetics if it was an actual Battlefield game

[gloomy latch]

I'd really appreciate if w11 stopped shoving bing down my throat

[next onyx]

The best part turning on your family computer?

Hearing the clicks.

[sour meadow]

fr

[next onyx]

OH THAT REMINDS ME.

Dusk opens with a DOS intro.

[sour meadow]

and Faith

[gloomy latch]

I use like 4 different apps to stop the scourge of bing and every update they find new ways to annoy me

[next onyx]

https://youtu.be/bedud4kfk98

[sour meadow]

both New Blood games

[gloomy latch]

Now there a new bing ai chat bubble in windows search that I can't get rid off

[next onyx]

Hearing the disc spin.

Hearing this and that.

OH GOD.

Ultrakill's dos as well.

[fresh lintel]

Having a disc drive in the computer and putting Unreal Tournament in

[sour meadow]

yea cuz newblood

[fresh lintel]

Or putting in uh..

[next onyx]

To be fair.

It's not like it's everywehre.

Oh yeah there's squirrel stapler.

[sour meadow]

i used to play the Halo CE demo on our family puter

worms 2

[gloomy latch]

Road rash >>>

[sour meadow]

so many flash games

[fresh lintel]

I still have a bunch of CDs for games.

Like Starwars Galactic Battlegrounds and a game called Universal Combat

[sour meadow]

trophy hunter 2003

i almost got to play BF2

but i didn't know about pc game codes

[limpid pond]

So I was looking and didn't see any heads up on why the servers are down currently anyone know why?

[forest snow]

@ripe hedge grot rifle for 2042?

[gloomy latch]

Ea is having a huge outage

All games all services even mobile

[sour meadow]

DDOS attack?

[gloomy latch]

No way

[ripe hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-perhaps-family-guy-thinking-gif-13587558

[gloomy latch]

Ain't no one stupid enough to ddos aws

[sour meadow]

what's AWS

the bf4 lmg?

[gloomy latch]

Amazon Web services

[sour meadow]

oh

[limpid pond]

Oh well that's unfortunate

[forest snow]

Thank for you acknowledging the request good sir.

[limpid pond]

Was tryna bang out a fee games before I went to work

Of course Alex acknowledges he's the best dev there is

[next onyx]

AWS is an m4 IAR I believe?

[sour meadow]

yea

[royal swan]

Alex I have a question, what's your opinion on stationary weapons (anti air and anti tank stationary weapons) would love to see them in base maps

[ripe hedge]

me too

[sour meadow]

i feel like cannons n shit would be too much

keep stationaries to like machine guns or something

[rocky bear]

nah

[royal swan]

Should make a twitter poll or those surveys about it

[quaint vector]

No more explosives...

[full finch]

Boy it's been a while since I've been in here.

[quaint vector]

There are plantly, so pls don't add more

[full finch]

Hello world!

[rocky bear]

depleted uranium shell stationary guns

[quaint vector]

[royal swan]

I wouldn't be too worried about stationary weapons mate

When we have tanks with 60mm mortars

[rocky bear]

stationary aa would be nice

[pine roost]

Doesn't mean said tanks with 60mm mortars are okay

[royal swan]

The AA would be a want

[quaint vector]

It would make things worse.. Also it would make players just camping on that like it was in BFV

[rocky bear]

thats fun though right

no?

[thin quiver]

looks like ea might be back a tiny bit

[pine roost]

there are plenty of AA options at the moment, enough to make me happy at least

[rocky bear]

more

[royal swan]

[sturdy socket]

need TOW launchers that can lockon to soflam again

[pine roost]

in bfv it made sense since there weren't nearly as many

[rocky bear]

more boom?

[sturdy socket]

OH

LET BORIS USE A TOW LAUNCHER EMPLACEMENT

[royal swan]

The stationary weapons made it a great way to combat tanks

[forest snow]

I really miss levolution in battlefield

[royal swan]

Plus they weren't that hard to kill anyways

[next onyx]

Henlo!

How are you doing, Colonal?

[pine roost]

would be better designed than lis that's for sure

since he'd actually need to be exposed to fire

and if it's a tow, even more so

[full finch]

I'm good! How are you?

[sturdy socket]

honestly I'd be down for it, considering Boris is basically extinct

[next onyx]

I'm good! Reading some manga!

[rocky bear]

i just want fortifications back tbh

[ripe hedge]

which one?

[next onyx]

UQ holder.

I meant to read it years ago but it wasn't fully done until recently-ish.

[sturdy socket]

😬

[ripe hedge]

never heard of it

[next onyx]

(I love that I mention manga and Alex appears IMMEDIATELY. :

[ripe hedge]

WEEBS RISE UP

[royal swan]

Wait the aek is getting a thermal scope?

[humble hound]

the servers ever going to come back up?

[next onyx]

AWOOG AWOOGA.

[full finch]

He's always here, you just don't know about it.

[quaint vector]

[next onyx]

There's the 1x IRNC in the files.

IRNV.

But we're not completely sure if they're to add it.

[ripe hedge]

5.0

[solid imp]

don't underestimate some people just want to watch things burn

[low timber]

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello World!";
    return 0;
}```

[next onyx]

You say that and the song "Caveman Rejoice" plays in my head.

[low timber]

[royal swan]

Where is our 40x scope, was it scrapped

[full finch]

Please don't.

[pine roost]

it never happened

[next onyx]

Can't stop us.

[pine roost]

if I say that it did apparently alex will be after me

[ripe hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-penguins-of-madagascar-madagascar-movies-animation-cartoons-gif-16596826

[thin quiver]

weebs fall down

[full finch]

But I will try until the day that I draw my last breath.

[low timber]

Alex can you tease us more what the weapon with 50 in its name is and why it’s Deagle .50

[ripe hedge]

joke's on you we cant fall lower

[next onyx]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[quaint vector]

This chat is something extra now...

[thin quiver]

aw shucks i forgot rock bottom was above weeb

[next onyx]

Oh trust me game services die we need something that entertains us other than battlefield.

[ripe hedge]

Sure, it has 50 on its name and it shoots bullets

[low timber]

There we got it folks!

[thin quiver]

^the one time i feel like playing ea servers go brrrr

[copper ice]

please god

[pine roost]

rorsch mark 50

[rocky bear]

please no

[low timber]

Now we just need a Gold universal skin

[next onyx]

Who here loved folded Bipods?

OH SHIT THAT'S RIGHT.

[royal swan]

I'ma take that as a no

[pine roost]

alex bamboozled us with the rorsch

[next onyx]

@full finch Are you a green or pink Zebra enjoyer?

(We seriously need these as universal skins)

[low timber]

What about Alex

[ripe hedge]

i love the Rorsch so much

[copper ice]

pink zebra all the way

[next onyx]

I asked him in the DM's.

[low timber]

Is he green or pink Zoe

[rocky bear]

pink all the way dude

[ripe hedge]

He knows im a green zebra enjoyer

[next onyx]

YEP.

[low timber]

Yeah, you asked him in the DMs

[full finch]

I have to say pink. Endlessly classy.

[quaint vector]

Pink all the way

[pine roost]

well played btw

[rocky bear]

pink rise up

[next onyx]

Unironically though.

[calm bison]

Lemme guess, EA servers shat the bed?

[next onyx]

If these were able to be claimed in game that'd go a long way.

Servers had a stronk.

[quaint vector]

Gimme the Pink one

[calm bison]

Still are

[ripe hedge]

The pink one looks like a collab with Blackpink

[low timber]

I still want a universal gold skin
We do need more universal skins that are not so wear and tear looking

[rocky bear]

oopsie 🤭

[full finch]

You have no taste.

[radiant prism]

We need more duotone skins

[next onyx]

Dev fight?

[ripe hedge]

i like blackpink, so my taste is near perfect

[radiant prism]

Like olive green highlights, or tan, or grey

[tropic delta]

Pray, I also want more darker ones, the universal skins are either bright or mixed with white

[radiant prism]

Just basic recolors

[next onyx]

There's a universal I wouldn't mind buying and it's the one that comes with the rao bundle.

[quaint vector]

Dev 1 v 1

[next onyx]

Like this digital navy skin.

[low timber]

And look so worn out, though it’s more of the weapon than the universal skin

[royal swan]

Wait so we confirmed universal skins, what about tier skins like the tier 1 skin for vault weapons

[quaint vector]

Place bets

[ripe hedge]

we can pick from a multitude of games, i wouldnt win on any

[low timber]

T1 is not universal

[rocky bear]

bolte 1 v 1

[mental delta]

Hum interesting... I see it's Dice officials meeting in here

[ripe hedge]

not unhinged enough

[full finch]

Yeah all the meeting rooms in the office are full so we came here.

[solid imp]

oh no

[royal swan]

That's going to disappoint so many people

[quaint vector]

Lemme play for you but Shhhhhsshh..

[next onyx]

Shall we go unhinged and make things worse?

[solid imp]

yes

[radiant prism]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1101934178032963744/dozer_pet.gif

[ripe hedge]

no

[radiant prism]

THERAPY RANGER

[next onyx]

I wonder if we will get more ranger skins.

[royal swan]

Find new clips

[forest snow]

Seeing that makes me sad we dont have more skins for the ranger 😦

[low timber]

Two in fact

[next onyx]

Oh yeah Titan perhaps a secret weapon in reference to ultrakill?

[copper ice]

please give ranger a dozer shield so he can scare the life out of everyone

[solid imp]

oh @radiant prism you're here! I have another one for you 😄

[next onyx]

Not Titan I mean Alex.

Dammit.

[tropic delta]

Hopefully no, it is only a matter of time until they go back to Christmas Boris on those poor rangers

[full finch]

That dog, the amount of stories we have on that thing.

[quaint vector]

What's DICE...

[ripe hedge]

I want Sony's Aibo skin

[mental delta]

I see, you work hard on those vault weapons so you needed a little break, fair enough you'll probably brring us the best in terms of weapons

[radiant prism]

Ive seen that 👀

[next onyx]

Oh!

Yeah.

[solid imp]

dang it, thought I hadn't shared it yet

mb

[next onyx]

What's the best one that you can share?

[low timber]

What was that 2142 mode called with Alex flying above?

[next onyx]

HAHA.

[next onyx]

I have a made called Titan that I talk about guns with.

[mental delta]

I can be your office meetings boss if you want to, in terms of experience I got no experience

[calm bison]

And now we wait for EA to get their shit together

[quaint vector]

Would love Ranger skins tho... I have the only one from Ultimate Edition and no more were added...

[sour meadow]

i'm just watching better call saul while waiting

[rocky bear]

dam is that a rex enjoyer

[calm bison]

Based

[full finch]

I think it killed me in a playtest like three times, after that I nerfed its health by like 75%, the day after I had a meeting with the AI team and we had to settle for a middle ground.

Not at all salty.

[calm bison]

Personally I just want more jet variety

[next onyx]

One of the things I wish we could do is at least ride it.

[forest snow]

the ranger is in a good place now

[low timber]

I got killed by Ranger once trough my Dozer shield

[calm bison]

We’ve been stuck with the Lightning and Felon for nearly 2 years

[full finch]

This was way back though.

[low timber]

Though I was bashing it with the shield

[forest snow]

just the controls to command it are still a bit wonky to use.

[rocky bear]

ranger 50

[solid imp]

I got killed by the Syrette through my Dozer shield

[copper ice]

please make a ranger with a TOW on its back

[next onyx]

Weird to think how obnoxious it was back then.

[ripe hedge]

At some point the NTW one-shotted it and a LOT of people got mad

[next onyx]

WHAT.

LOL?

HAHAHAHA.

[low timber]

Tbh Ranger and Boris turret shouldn’t have a Headshot multiplier

[rocky bear]

why

[solid imp]

Boris turret needs all the help it can get

That thing... so sad

[forest snow]

even maybe let us change the weapon on top of the ranger

[full finch]

NTW "Doggo Destroyer" 50

[elfin coral]

we need a ranger variant that can resupply

[rocky bear]

yes

[low timber]

Why not?

[calm bison]

Damnit EA. You’re actually making me play FH5

[next onyx]

Thermal NTW is so fucking dirty.

[radiant prism]

While I have devs here....can we fix this please? Dozer revives are borked on occasion. Was stuck on melee, couldn't do anything. Happens all the time.

[copper ice]

dog buster

[solid imp]

YES so it's not just me!

[quaint vector]

Also Ranger was supposed to have Ammo/Heal so you could grab it. I know i heard that way back before BF2042 was released..👀

[solid imp]

Revived with the shield out 100% of the time results in being stuck with melee out that doesn't even work 😦

although I see you too have the taser baton so maybe it's specific just to that takedown??

[low timber]

That helmet and shock stick, are you cosplaying as Half Life Combine?

[mental delta]

I want to see new images of those upgraded vault weapons

[copper ice]

Why did that shield smack only do 25 damage?

[next onyx]

I wish slide could be bounded to double crouch.

[copper ice]

Or was that a hitreg failure with a false hitmarker

[radiant prism]

No, its happened with any melee.

[radiant prism]

It was a reflected bullet. I never smacked them.

[low timber]

Too much lube

[radiant prism]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1097275266163802233/1097285373283020800/Dozer_Takedown.gif

[copper ice]

ohhhhh

[full finch]

Interesting

[solid imp]

Can confirm, +1 on that behavior

[copper ice]

I forgot he could even do that

[low timber]

I’ve had that Dozer melee only after revived bug as well

[next onyx]

Am I a horrible person for this?

[rocky bear]

no

[low timber]

No

[next onyx]

Dude I've been rocking that event skin for Dozer.

unironically one of the better skins.

[solid imp]

ngl didn't watch the clip but going to answer "yes"

[low timber]

But you are with your 30k kills Sfar

[radiant prism]

The new one?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[radiant prism]

Nice

yeah its good

I just can't leave combine dozer

[elfin coral]

so why is it called the SFAR?

[solid imp]

Because it's not the SCAR lol

[low timber]

Try the blue Dozer torso from the S4 pass with the combine helmet, looks a bit more like combine

[full finch]

Same reason every weapon has its own special name. Legal reasons.

[copper ice]

stands for Super Fucking Assault Rifle

[elfin coral]

i thought it'd be some lore reason

[low timber]

Special Forces Assault Rifle

[next onyx]

Special forces assault rifle heavy.

[full finch]

I wish.

[next onyx]

Oh wait I'm looking into the H.

[rocky bear]

no its a lot simpler than that

[next onyx]

Lol.

[radiant prism]

Yeah but I like the Tan torso

[next onyx]

Gun companies have become super pissy as of late.

[radiant prism]

The blue clashes with the white too much for me

[next onyx]

Wait not that's it.

Special forces combat assault rifle.

[copper ice]

It's when you get a little wound

[royal swan]

The dozer behind his shield watching me load a second nube tube:

[rocky bear]

SPF 50 new gun

[radiant prism]

https://tenor.com/view/pick-up-that-can-no-fuck-off-half-life-valve-gif-17567269

[elfin coral]

obviously legal reasons but i was hoping there'd be a lore reason like idk: "In the 2030s, a new replacement for the SCAR came along" or something along these lines

[rocky bear]

damn wth

bro evaporated?

[radiant prism]

I mean in game its manufactured by United Arms

[next onyx]

Hey Colonal any changes we can have grenade launchers with the same explosive power as the mines?

[forest snow]

4 had the correct names for a lot of guns i seem to remember

[royal swan]

That's what happened to the dozer when he let me shoot a second nube tube

[next onyx]

I just want an ACE GALIL man.

Imagine the nuke.

"Oh yeah that's mine"

[low timber]

But Alex called it ugly didn’t he?

[next onyx]

"No it's NOT"

HE DID AND IT BROKE MY HEART.

[full finch]

Actually that might be true, but based on the history of naming I doubt it. I tend not to pay too much attention to that part.

[next onyx]

:(

[solid imp]

can we agree the throwing knife 1hk range is... totally fair and balanced lol

[fossil trench]

Are the servers still down?

[mental delta]

Hey, can you get us any clue on guns coming with season 5, maybe just a little hint 📋🖊️

[full finch]

That would take me about 5 minutes to fix. But if I would've had my way with all of these balancing questions. Nobody would play this game.

[next onyx]

Bit dumb aha.

[rocky bear]

yep

[fossil trench]

Ffs

[low timber]

RK 62M when?

[royal swan]

Yeah absolutely, not easy hitting it with it anyways

[elfin coral]

also i really wish that the player card for the stranded, spearhead, and flashpoint maps would have lore like how they wrote it out for the base maps and exposure

[next onyx]

LOL fair. Just imagine the nukes going off aha.

[patent path]

can we have more accurate underbarrel grenade launchers

[radiant prism]

I couldnt find the last guy :(

[patent path]

it feels like the grenades aren't going where I'm aiming

[full finch]

They shoot digital projectiles. They probably have the same speed as some other projectiles. These projectiles can actually ricochet of terrain which is super cool but nobody seems to care.

[full finch]

Exactly.

[forest snow]

Need some skins that also change Dozers shield like in the game concept art.

[radiant prism]

Every gun in teh game

[dapper narwhal]

ayo servers off?

[fossil trench]

Interesting

[full finch]

[dapper narwhal]

I cant connect to ea servers

[quaint vector]

[full finch]

Yes, yes I do.

[radiant prism]

Im genuinely sad no one talks about the ricochets! I notice them all the time

[quaint vector]

EA Services are down

[full finch]

😍

[rocky bear]

there is ricochets?

[elfin coral]

we need more descriptive lore for stuff like the maps and the guns

[solid imp]

I mean that guy was like 45m away in the clip but "According to my totally exhaustive search on The Internet" the longest knife throw confirmed kill was 87 feet in WWII

[elfin coral]

pls

[patent path]

there's bullet ricochet in 2042?

[mental delta]

Ok that's even more than what I hoped thanks a lot Mr Dice it'll make me wait

[dapper narwhal]

thank you

[patent path]

[hybrid totem]

Digital projectiles.... EMP ammo confirmed

[radiant prism]

Always wondered if its possible to get kills with ricochets though?

[simple chasm]

is the game good? or still fucking dogshit

[full finch]

I'm probably the last person in the company you should talk to about lore.

[hybrid totem]

A gun that shoots micro computers

[rocky bear]

i like it

[full finch]

It is.

[fossil trench]

Bullets ricochet?

[elfin coral]

who's on the lore team?

[radiant prism]

I have an encyclopedic knowledge of this games lore lol

[low timber]

There was datamined a long time ago an ammo type that would auto spot the enemy it hit, but that now Paik’s trait.

[full finch]

Yes.

[next onyx]

I once got into the Polaris razor, Drove it without a thought until I encountered the Tornado gate, Spotted my squadmate who was walking over the mine, tripped the mine and blew both of us up. Couldn't stop laughing.

[solid imp]

first time I noticed ricochets in the game it changed everything visually for me from that point on, noticing it all the time now

[radiant prism]

Honorary DICE lore team leader?

[solid imp]

it's great

[royal swan]

Can't wait for the next Easter egg

[hybrid totem]

If you're coming in feeling like this, it's probably still dogshit

[fossil trench]

Over 450 hours. Never noticed. Interesting

[radiant prism]

It was in V too

[full finch]

I can't call people out by name. Sorry.

[radiant prism]

IIRC

[mental delta]

On which guns ?

[next onyx]

Wait they richochet off the tanks?

[elfin coral]

@full finch pls nerf the tornado, i lost my ranger to it

[royal swan]

Hey there should be a reward for finding all of the limited time Easter eggs from each season

[next onyx]

Not just the tanks?

Ayo the fuck.

[elfin coral]

[elfin coral]

alright

[forest snow]

noooo buff the twister!

[radiant prism]

Any gun. Its most noticeable at range

[full finch]

It's easy to miss, but when you debug the projectile path, you see it all the time.

[elfin coral]

i lost my goodest boy

[royal swan]

That's a skill issue buddy

[next onyx]

I wonder what you've seen with your eyes, Colonal.

[radiant prism]

Happens at shallow angles for the most part

[royal swan]

You can't be trusted with a robot dog so we took it away

[full finch]

Mostly obscure error messages.

[forest snow]

the lighting strikes should EMP choppers jets and ground vehicles.

[radiant prism]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-oh-snap-oh-shit-chris-pratt-parks-and-rec-gif-5703806

[elfin coral]

IT'S NOT THE SAME

THAT WAS MY ROBODOG

[mental delta]

I didn't know that at all

[hybrid totem]

is that how lightning works?\

[radiant prism]

Its not like some controllable mechanic, its mostly random for realistic effect

[next onyx]

[royal swan]

You lost your robot dog for a reason

[next onyx]

I was thinking about making a game to be honest.

Something like a horror game.

[forest snow]

first time today with over 1500 hours saw a container in the twister take out a condor ha

[errant scarab]

Snorlaxxxx

[next onyx]

The random flying cars are hilarious.

[solid imp]

folks... we did it.

[elfin coral]

what's next? is it gonna be like that one star wars meme where, you gonna tell me my care for the robodog is not real?

[next onyx]

Servers up?

[rocky bear]

im still out

[mental delta]

Can it land on you or it's just about visual effects ?

[solid imp]

the ones by me are I think?

[full finch]

Exactly, but sometimes I see the weirdest stuff. When I built the crossbow, the arrows I shot out at first were the size of houses. It took me some time to figure out why.

[next onyx]

LMAO.

[solid imp]

omg I want to see that

clips!

[radiant prism]

You can apparently get hit by ricochets!

[solid imp]

share

[next onyx]

Safe to say after the first shot you were scared shitless?

[low timber]

Now that’s a weapon to surpass metal gear

[radiant prism]

We need a DICE blooper reel

[next onyx]

Most likely had a bunch of stuff he cannot share.

[elfin coral]

from now on you're my lore consultant

[royal swan]

We need a video of that now

[radiant prism]

YES

[mental delta]

Mmmhhh impressive, very nice, now let's Paul Allen's type of ammunition

[full finch]

I can't, I don't even think I have a video of it.

[radiant prism]

boooooooooo

[royal swan]

Remake it then

[solid imp]

Quick everyone pick whatever you're trying to T1... we're going to have bot matches for awhile today 🙂

[low timber]

PF51

[next onyx]

Actually since a dev is here I'll leave this bit of feedback quickly. A bit of the recoil bug is back where it doesn't read my mouse input, noticeable at ranges but I don't have any videos at the moment.

[fresh lintel]

I'll T1 the Repair tool.

[low timber]

Oh, I thought you were asking

[radiant prism]

Im just gonna get the S3 badge and then finish my J:S playthrough

[quaint vector]

Imagine K30 that shoots Incendiary granades that are big like Ranger

[full finch]

I should be fixing other things!

Yes

[sour meadow]

i wish that bug where you can't see flag occupants gets fixed

[next onyx]

Fucking.

[radiant prism]

Especially today! May the 4th be with you

[next onyx]

A trebuchet that can send houses flying.

[solid imp]

Sci-fi has been invoking the mass driver concept for awhile 🙂

[next onyx]

We have the technology.

Take care Gecko!

[solid imp]

orbital mass driver planetary bombardment notion

[elfin coral]

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFISED!?

[radiant prism]

https://tenor.com/view/norman-osborn-oh-you-cant-do-this-to-me-spiderman-no-ways-gif-17373736

[hybrid totem]

Now I want to see blooper reels for video game design

[royal swan]

YOU SHOULD'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE LETTING THAT TORNADO TAKE YOUR DOG

[elfin coral]

we were trying to cap on the ship in discarded

[radiant prism]

What do you need to know my child

[elfin coral]

everything

[radiant prism]

Well

we gotta start somewhere

[elfin coral]

i'll ping you when something comes to mind

[royal swan]

So you thought it was more important to take the objective than take care of your dog

[inland rapids]

is ea down right now cant get int 2042

[radiant prism]

ye EA down

[elfin coral]

I'M SORRY OK

[radiant prism]

We took the objective
but at what cost

[inland rapids]

what is going on lol

[elfin coral]

nerf the tornadoes

[solid imp]

just remember to look at the pings everyone

[calm bison]

Are the servers back?

[elfin coral]

cause i lost my robo dog

that's what's going on

[calm bison]

Well where did you leave him?

[radiant prism]

[elfin coral]

the tornado took him

[quaint vector]

[elfin coral]

can't have shit in India

[calm bison]

Yeah man you don’t wanna go to India

Overpopulated as fuck

[royal swan]

There's a reason the map is named discarded

[radiant prism]

Yes

[solid imp]

ok guys lets lay off insulting a whole nation

[calm bison]

Sort of

It goes into a massive refugee crisis

[elfin coral]

i'm pretty sure India is one of the few non failed states left

[calm bison]

Because in the world of 2042, France never lowered the retirement age

[royal swan]

You got it

[calm bison]

So is Italy and all the alpine countries

ITALIA STRONK

[radiant prism]

Europe is fucked IIRC

Lot of wildfires apparently

[calm bison]

The Baltic States are on fire

Germany Collapsed

[elfin coral]

EU finally broke apart

[calm bison]

England is underwater (deserved)

[elfin coral]

[radiant prism]

BREXIT MEANS BREXIT

[sour meadow]

thought you were talking irl for a sec

[radiant prism]

Brexit (the world)

[royal swan]

Still insulting nations damn

[low timber]

There is still the European Recovery Foundation, and it is EU in 2142 as one of the factions.

[radiant prism]

Br*tish 🤢

[thin quiver]

brexit means brexit apart from where it suits

[calm bison]

We don’t know what happened to Spain

[elfin coral]

it failed

[thin quiver]

the longest siesta

[elfin coral]

Blasco's bio talks about it

[calm bison]

Ah

[radiant prism]

EU failed for the most part

[calm bison]

Listen when you have an awful history like the UK we will make fun of you

[elfin coral]

disbands August 6, 2035

[royal swan]

Why is Germany gone

[elfin coral]

it did

oh

[calm bison]

What happened to the eastern bloc in 2042

[radiant prism]

2042 is IRL

[calm bison]

Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus

[radiant prism]

Either collapsed or under Russian control

[elfin coral]

second great depression

[calm bison]

Civil War from 2020

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-chris-rock-jada-pinkett-smith-oscars2022-smack-gif-25234614

[elfin coral]

it collapsed which is why the EU disbands

[radiant prism]

Probably fractured after the civil war

[calm bison]

Fucking Battlefield Lore

[quaint vector]

Alright knock it off... You already been told by Staff..

[royal swan]

We are talking about lore nations

[sour meadow]

one of them is my farts

[royal swan]

Apparently

[low timber]

There hasn’t been nukes in BF timeline after BF3

[royal swan]

The bf2042 lore nations

[naive quiver]

Battlefield topics pls

[calm bison]

Be very careful what you say about Israel, fictitious or not

[elfin coral]

August 8, 2035: EU disbands following Germany's collapse

[thin quiver]

i think the doomsday clock would be all backwards on bf lore

[royal swan]

It's still on topic as it's bf2042 lore

[calm bison]

Sir that’s not better

Well apparently

[royal swan]

Canada is still around, probably under the influence of the USA most likely

[radiant prism]

Yes

[calm bison]

Due to the Civil War in China, chances are Russia wasn’t given the opportunity to fight Ukraine

[thin quiver]

they have the oil so id immgine they would get annexed at some point

[elfin coral]

GFL moment

[calm bison]

See this is in an AU where Russia actually has a competent military

[low timber]

The facility in Exposure was a joint project of US and Canada

[radiant prism]

Lmao

[calm bison]

Yes

[radiant prism]

Yes ofc

[calm bison]

BFV

Yes

[radiant prism]

yes

[thin quiver]

yes BFV and then BF1 was ww1

[radiant prism]

Yes

BF3 nuke happened too

[calm bison]

Technically hardline is canon

[radiant prism]

Also yes

[calm bison]

Hardline happens during BF3

[royal swan]

Yeah but seeing how agonizing the US is now, most likely it became a puppet

[thin quiver]

i guess they arent a fan of nukes after discovering MAD is very real

[radiant prism]

Sundances parents die in the Paris bombings

[calm bison]

This could be a very interesting Timeline

[low timber]

Paris was nuked in BF3 and on Sundace’s Bio it is mentioned as well.

[royal swan]

Bombing you mean nuked

[radiant prism]

Still a bomb

[elfin coral]

i see hardline as a separate universe so i see it as nothing happening for a connection

[calm bison]

Paris got glassed

Well according to the opening intro to 2042

France was suffering from tons of riots

[thin quiver]

big hole in ground

[calm bison]

Kinda hard to nuke everyone when your populace hates you

[bleak nebula]

they probably surrendered

[low timber]

Iirc after the Paris incident all super powers got rid of their nukes which then resulted in the war of BF4

[fresh lintel]

Also Canada under America? We're the damn hat here.

[elfin coral]

ok but what we need is a fill in the gap for between 2020 and 2030

[radiant prism]

Collapsed

[calm bison]

I don’t think Canada is controlled by the US so much as it’s a sphere of influence

[elfin coral]

cause there's nothing talking about right after the war of 2020 and the rest of the 20s

[thin quiver]

best interests to work together

[royal swan]

It's like saying you got shot in the leg when your leg got blown off by a 50 cal

[calm bison]

What even happened to Mexico? I feel like I missed out on Dozer’s lore here

[fresh lintel]

That's what I thought. I refuse to allow another Fallout "America Annexed Canada" to happen 😤

[radiant prism]

Still factually accurate :)

Doesn't say

[royal swan]

It's annoying

[lilac dust]

Disappointed they didn't even mention that tier 1 skins are in the pipeline for vault weapons. A simple confirmation of it for the future on today's vault weapon post would've been nice

[thin quiver]

idk i feel the skins are lacking this time round

[elfin coral]

BF4 was just kickstarted cause Chang wanted a war

[calm bison]

Well given BF3

Probably

[radiant prism]

see BF3

[elfin coral]

and the Russians wanted to cash in on that

[royal swan]

Let's not go there, it will make the mods mad

[thin quiver]

I loved Vs skins and BF1 was neat being mosty free but not really big cosmetics

[calm bison]

Supposedly in between BF4 and 2042 I think the Bad Company timeline fits

[low timber]

And whats a better time to star a war when theres no fear of nukes?

[thin quiver]

unmentioned so unlikey

[royal swan]

[calm bison]

I never played the BF3 campaign so IDK. I just remember it ending with a defused nuke in Times Square

[elfin coral]

Hetalia would like a word

[radiant prism]

EA back?

[calm bison]

I’m assuming it failed upon BF3

[thin quiver]

looks back im able to get past login

[elfin coral]

probably fell apart in the 30s

[radiant prism]

Yea same here

[elfin coral]

Singapore is doing fine and so is South Korea

[neat iris]

Wow, glad it wasn't just me wondering about the EA app.

[elfin coral]

that's about all we know

[thin quiver]

EA back yall can hermit

[elfin coral]

what's CSTO?

[neat iris]

sort of... I can connect to the app, just not BF servers.

n/m it finally connected

[thin quiver]

wooo! ive just passed bf Vs auth so it looks like is just returned

[elfin coral]

at this point it's safe to assume they've collapsed

When joining BFV - I still the error for servers being unavailable, however when I reconnect, it works just fine. Anyone else with this?

Because if the servers were fully up I wouldn’t have to reconnect every time I log in

[sharp marten]

Do you think dozer has feet finder

[arctic grove]

Nah Bloodhound does though

[sharp marten]

Tbh falck def has feet finder

I was there, I was in the promised land but then black screened and had to close the game... now I'm stuck retrying to connect to EA servers 😢

[calm bison]

For me I could connect, but 2042 it was after the EA servers are unavailable pop up came up on the login page

And in BFV

I could get past the login screen

But then I had to reconnect

So the servers aren’t 100% yet

[solid imp]

yeah I was past that and playing and after relaunching 2042 I'm in the same spot you're in

yeah for sure it's probably a % of the infra is back up but struggling to handle the volume of traffic

[calm bison]

And some users are experiencing difficulty getting into BF4

So uh.. yeah. Fix ya game Blizzard

[solid imp]

I mean it's nice to have one identity to log into everything EA, but man when your authentication service takes a dump it brings everything down

[calm bison]

Yeah

[solid imp]

I'll help... let just click this retry button a bunch and send it more traffic

[calm bison]

Dude while I’m waiting I’m checking out this new SoT mystery

They’re giving away the gold hoarders skull IRL

[solid imp]

oh I got to the exodus, it is truly intermittently working

[calm bison]

Yeah when loading into 2042 you would press connect, the pop up for EA servers sucking would come up, you would press retry, and then it would load in

Which while not bad is also just

“Great, this is another thing I have to wait for in order to get into a game”

[spare depot]

whats that

[solid imp]

don't ask that lol

[left hollow]

Be glad you don't know

[calm bison]

Man today has been weird

EA servers are fucked up hard

SoT mystery giving out a golden skull

And no negative comments on Disney+’s May 4th video

[pine roost]

And I got made redundant in my job 👍

[solid imp]

wuuut I'm sorry to hear that!

[pine roost]

It’s alright, it was only a small shop that I worked at for around 7 months. The people were fantastic but the management was the worst imaginable

I have no frame of reference for what constitutes as bad management but there is no way that shop is going to survive more than a few months

[sharp marten]

Do you have it

[solid imp]

certainly not

[calm bison]

I’d say you should play some Battlefield to cheer you up but uh

[pine roost]

As long as I don’t play 2042

[calm bison]

It doesn’t matter

[pine roost]

That has the adverse effect most of the time

[calm bison]

Servers are down across the board

[pine roost]

I’m hopping on SoT later which is always a good time

[pine roost]

Oh

[calm bison]

Although you could join a game, you’d still have to fight with EA servers a bit

[static prairie]

Even bigger joke than EA server is that its actually snowing atm

[calm bison]

But it’s May

[static prairie]

Yes

[pine roost]

/weather clear

[calm bison]

What part of the world are you in where it’s snowing in May

[pine roost]

Fixed it for you

[static prairie]

Finland
