Stop with the playtests and aim for getting at least one server up and running for good. Play tests are just gonna kill off the game. Already have seen people stop caring for this because of the push of just constant play tests and not anything else. The entire point of a beta Is for constant feedback and knowledge on the issues for a game as it provides constant availability to play the game amongst any time zone or country. Playtests should only be a thing to make sure said thing functions while adding it. we do not need constant playtests, we just need beta to release, or one server.

give oki the money for that and i’m sure he’d do it
give oki the money for that and i’m sure he’d do it
but there’s reasons he doesn’t , and it’s cause he needs to watch over the tests as they happen and he needs time to develop stuff for the game , and adding only one server that only 245 people could play at a time would be a bad idea for the thousands wanting to play and would not make people wanna play since the one server would always be full
Wouldn't matter how it's done, game isn't going into Early Access until Mar-Apr
the game isn't in beta
So, you're not gonna get it any faster, either way
Thus the issue, wasnt the game supposed to be release in end of 2022?
No?
why give a date on beta when your not gonna follow up
yes?
ive heard countless people shit on it about that
unless we're all gonna forget it
they aimed for it but never confirmed it
they were planning on realeasing in 2022
so thats what theyll call it when march or april
playtests arent worth it just push for beta
You act like this is a huge dev studio.
bro give them the money and they will 😭
but considering he took a while to implement eac
It’s three guys mainly!
ive gave them money 😭
then tons of server stuff
No, it was pushed back, had you read #bbr-news , you'd know that
they need a lot 🤷🏻♂️
gave up on news in this game
also no one said of 2022
as 90% of it is just playtests
which do absolutely nothing
for the game
that a beta wouldnt
I argue that playtests are better
I like that that's the time I play
they aren’t for the player they are for the game
and that's when everyone is on
lmao
I do know some people who aren't gonna play till ea
which made more sense back when you'd wait a month for a 3 day playtest only for it to get cancelled 20 minutes in due to servers not working
and now what do you wait for a 30 min playtest?
I do not wait
where eventually the servers stop working
I play when servers up
I do that for other games
you schedule when you gonna play and play then
I know that a certain event happens same time every week
you have to fit said schedule around when a 30 min playtest is up
and even with that
there will always be a conflict
whether the servers dont work or servers are full
I mean it's bad for people who's timezones it doesn't fit
Yes, the Playtest are to find bug, test fixes & new content, they are not for our enjoyment specifically, that's just the bonus by-product we get
those haven't been a problem in months
thats what a beta is for
also oki didn't want this many people playing the tests
IMO “releasing a game which will need to be updated on steam every 2 to 6 days and constantly have server up and down for every problem Oki alone has to work on, would waste all the money his supporting community has given to the game!
and not for a limit
he got way more people than he wanted before the game was ready
hiring is not an option
thats theyre problem then
unless you want stuff delayed
well it’s for the dev team not the players , they need the game working not for player enjoyment
a lot
beta would offer way more to the dev team then playtests
and at nobodys expense
Not been around many alpha/betas have you, they work differently for different game and companies
and cost way more
like you all said they didnt expect this much from people
they can afford it if it exceeded expetations
Um. The devs have to pay for the server to run a Beta build of the game, meaning all the cash you and the other donated would be washed out in A week.
steam holds funds for 2 months , if they don’t have funds put aside for 2 months of servers they can’t do it ….
What he said
Again, your assumptions are wrong, more people, means more servers, more servers, means more money is required
Its not expensive to run a server even a single one
yeah, that's where you're wrong
if theyre wasting all that patreon money that fast then the games gonna crash simple
maybe one server
but oki would get so many more complaints if there was one single server up 24/7
you have one server up constant, who ever gets in gets in
they aren’t
like your suggestion
who ever doesint, doesint
nah
Do you understand how much money it takes to pay for a commercial server box to run a large number of connections threw??
so limit the player base 😭 your points are so mixed now
I don't imagine people being happy with the lets load up battlebit and see if I get to play testing model
It's $50,000 per month to run the servers full time.
i didnt say patreon priority
i said who ever gets in gets in
whoever doesint doesint
no, I'm waiting for you to eventually get to that point
uh huh
you want people to play more but you want less people to play , making more people unable to wouldn’t that kill the game too ??
see no point in argueing with you
your argueing the entirety of it in your mind
assuming what im gonna say
bad feedback
playtests kill a game
no one sees a point arguing with you, playtests are playTESTS for a reason
It's pretty easy to assume what you're going to say ngl
???
i havent seen a single game that has made it have done playtests
how could it kill a game that hasnt released
So, bring up 1 server, so 250 players can have fun, and 50k+ are left salty... how's that gonna help the game?
games in beta
die constantly
??
this games not even in beta
what do you think thats gonna do to it
it’s not a big team either
like i said ive already seen people quit the game
3 guys
almost every game does QA playtesting, not public playtests 🤯
This one's who can't play, are gonna come on here, complaining they can't play
that means paying more, which they cant. none of them have made money from this game
people can quit the game , not everyone has to play forever ???
BBR is the first in a long time that’s for sure

no a project that never released 💀
Battlebit was 2016, BBR was 2017
its been rewritten? never failed or released
whens this one gonna get another remaster?
that was redone, god you know nothing do you
bit off more they can chew and theyre gonna flop
I mean he's outed himself as a troll... Could just archive thread
uh that's exactly what the playtests are for lmao
hm yes today I think Ill doompost about playtests killing a game
so you want betas but they kill games ???? bro wtf are you saying rn
this has nothing to do with politcs but a game
When your nerd glasses are so tight to your face that you can’t see the facts anymore.
games in betas where theyre in betas for too long
literally kill a gasme
you can do the research
No one mentioned politics, lol
"betas kill games so I want BB to go to early access so it doesn't die"
whats gonna happen when this games in playtesting phase for too long
People only read, what they want to see... Which is how we got here in the 1st place
bruh once again another shit post in #1019712628970508338
presumably the kinks will get ironed out so the game can be released
this is feedback
the fact you cant accept it as
isnt my problem
youll only have to wait and see
Sure it's feedback, but it's not constructive at all.
either im going to be proven wrong and this game will make into beta and release
your feedback indicates severe mental deficiency
It’s been in play test for years man it’s gone in and out of attention countless times I’ve heard this all. Every game has its up and downs.
or im going to be proven right and this game will never get out
see thats another issue with this game
Ok, so you've said your feedback, let's all stop, and see where it goes
communitys already toxic and cant resolve a arguement without herling insults
makes nobody want to be apart of it either
you can all call me wrong when the game releases and insult me and ill take it and accept it
all you’ve said is the games gonna flop , who tf would just agree
you mean development ????
it’s in development my guy
been in development too long
While I do seriously agree that some offer stomp out others in this community, and they are toxic as F. This isn’t a channel for making that argument.
WW3 is a game no one really wanted or needed.
3 devs one coder ??? you want this shit done in a week?
didn't ww3 flop because people played it, it wasn't great, and people refunded
like i said 3 devs is their issue
they refuse to grow
if theyre project only grows and grows
while they dont grow their team
ok biggie will make the game better himself guys let him on the team
WW3 flopped because you can just play Battlefield.
No Oki doesn’t want someone making mistakes on “his” games code.
You could honestly have this discussion with yourself since you're not getting anything from here through your skull.
also oki wrote the code himself so hiring another will mean he has to take time to train them and that will only take longer
im not gonna get anything through from insults simple
why would i
you have to insult me for your arguement because you cant with anything else
why would i want to take your arguement after that
maybe but that will have the progress of the game be done faster in the long run
How did I insult you, I'm stating a fact, you haven't listened to anyone here. You just wanted to spark an argument/outrage.
You've been repeating the same point.
because thats the arguement
That's not how you argue, the person that's louder doesn't mean they're right.
how am i louder
im in the minority here
i had to argue with 7 of you at once
?
XD
hows that repeating the same point right there
the point of having to argue with several of you
...
now your repeating the same point
Honestly there's no point in engaging in this.
like ??
🍿
ignorance is bliss with you
Right, the game will come out when it's ready, and not before
arguing with multiple people is obviously the goal
its not
???
???
yeah clearly it's killing the game
this game is already better than most fps out right now
the goal is to tell you the game will most likely flop in its playtest phase
that's why every playtest there's fewer and fewer people
i mean you pledged money?
because i like the idea and project
Its in it's playtest phase now?
😔
yo what, last time I struggled joining any server
doesint mean i dont have the right to critize it
well it hasnt "flopped" during their free playtest
it's over boys battlebit died
then play the playtests and stop saying how the game is dead
Before it even launched.
the playtests.... they killed the game.........
you have the right to say what ever you want, doesn't mean its correct lmao
look at player charts 💀
i didnt say the game was dead
😔
cant argue with people who cant read the point
with thousands of players
replying off this statement
you do understand how many games die in beta
the will die if the game is realeased in a bad state
because they never release
this is why we have playtest
tell you what actually will kill the game: not sorting out proper scalability and playability before EA, which is what the playtests are in service of
i understand that games die in beta, this game can die but that doesnt mean it will
thank you biggie for stating something that we already knew
"games can die"
i didnt know that
so why are you getting so upset about it when i said this game could die
if you knew of the possibility
celebratory party for him XD
you know what game could've used more playtests? BF2042
why are you assuming im getting upset?
am i knocking on your door trying to kill you lmao?
is that being upset to you?
no im commenting in discord
you wanted a 24/7 server of a game that isnt ready? that would show a worse side of a game that isnt 100% stable 100% of the time
you dont even know your own points
quite the jumo for you biggie
you know what a beta is for right?
stop assuming and garner some knowledge
This isn't beta
this game isnt in beta
i never said that
it'll help you in the future
i understand the concept, of course
we are playtesting the game weekly
you claim i repeat my points and i will never see any of yours
you know for what reason?
but none of you actualyl read what im saying
and prefer to type something before thinking on it
i have been trying to understand you this entire time
biggie, we have read everything you have written
im sorry if your words dont stick the way you want them too
you are making it very hard for us
.
That was a real shitshow, be glad the devs are doing playtests here.
😏
what are you gonna do? all you can do is not buy their games
what's the matter? don't like bugs bro? it's a BaTtLeFiELd MoMenT
great way to put it
maximizing profits is what these big companies are all aboiut
I voted with not buying it right away, cant trust EA these days
In fact I didn't buy it at all lol
once ppl stop buying their games and actually lose money on release. maybe they'll change their business model
Ok, here the points.. the game is not ready for release yet, more stuff is being added, it will be out in to Early Access in Mar-Apr
haven't bought an ea game in years, and i dont plan on doing so until they release a good game
Last one I bought was BF1 back in the early covid years afaik
@iron elbow Do you know if the game will retain a testing branch after EA release?
i didnt even get that one, i loved hardcore, when i found out they took it out of the game BF died for me.
I have no information on that
last one i played was Bf4
i play bc2 from time to time but hard to find good lobbies
are you thinking of Early Access or Electronic Arts? 
Personal preference, the atmosphere in BF1 was amazing imo.
overall good gunplay, was more laid back, I know than the usual bf games
i agree i loved the vibe and the atmosphere. I just love war sims and hate having to dump bullets into a person
I won't disagree with Biggie's point stating the community here is toxic. 85% of the discussions I've either started or hopped into resulted in either insults or lack on constructive criticism. There's a very prominent lack of empathy here.
unfortunately that's how the internet has gone
or maybe your suggestions aren't as good as you think they are
case and point.
That's not really true. You can find many communities that are less hostile. This is the worst I've seen in the 120+ servers I've been in.
there's only so far constructive criticism will take you
It takes you pretty far.
if your suggestions are consistently being met with hostility that's an indication that they may not be very good
I don't know if I've read any of them myself
I could just as easily say that 85% of what gets posted as a suggestion or as feedback is utterly deranged
this very thread is an excellent example
They're not... but saying stuff like "skill issue" to something someone considers an issue is dismissive of a possible problem. Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it wont affect part of the playerbase. It's also disrespectful because you're not even taking their idea into account or seeing it from their perspective, you're just dismissing it outright because it's something you don't want.
When I give feedback to a suggestion or a discussion I ask myself: "Where are they coming from?" "How would this affect X set of players?". I then write what I like or would change about their idea, formulate a compromise that takes x set of players into account, etc.
or it's a pointless gripe that someone's making because they're bad
Even if they're bad, their opinion is still valid.
no, because appealing to the lowest common denominator for every problem is a big mistake
Correct, but you should still take them into account. If you ignore newer or low skill players entirely, that's how your game stops growing and dies.
You have bad, then you have below bad, you have troll, don’t give trolls your mental energy. Everyone else gets a consideration.
there's literally some dude who wants snipers to be a 1-hit body shot kill because he can't seem to hit heads
He's not calling you a troll Wave, just so you know.
there's another that thinks DMRs should have the same damage profile as a bolt-action
In that case give them advice on how to be a better sniper, if they're not receptive at all, its not worth the time, just downvote it.
I'm aware
This! This is just lack of time played, also armor. Armor is dumb and rubs snipers of headshots. Not everyone understands right out of the gate how armor works. Not even the game is consistent with armor.
"aim better"
≈
"your aim is not good enough"
≈
"skill issue"
it is now
Instead of saying skill issue, be more specific.
"you suck at aiming my dude and this change would be deplorable" doesn't quite have the same ring to it
This should only apply to DMR with designs for super high damage mid range combat. But those aren’t added yet so I’ll shh.
A semi automatic weapon having the same damage profile as a bolt action is not a good idea because the semi automatic weapons would outclass the bolt actions entirely.
I prefer the savage long answers to the cringe two word ones.
skill issue
😎
it's only right to meet thoughtless myopic suggestions with short and snappy dismissals
they clearly didn't put very much thought into it, why should anyone put thought into the dismissal?
"Sniping is hard and is meant to be hard because it's an incredibly powerful skill to master. Making it easier would make gameplay for standard infantrymen less fun, and reduce the skill ceiling of sniping which many tend to enjoy the climb to.
So can we som up this whole thread as “skill issue and dismiss it from existence?”
this whole thread is some sort of ridiculous fever dream
and when the same or very similar suggestion crops up time and time again, will you have the patience to rebut it as eloquently each time?
I'm just trying to improve the community here, and having a chat. I know I'm not really making a difference but I want to get the point across.
Go to the last thread and screenshot it.
Yes in I’ll seriousness I think sniping right now is fine. I just want an ASP to fuck with AS Val nerds.
glintshitters make a post what feels like every single playtest about how it's unfair that high-powered scopes have a visible glint
just shoot people lol
My issue with glint is just that it's ugly, I don't even snipe.
conveniently forgetting that being able to sit 600 meters away is also pretty unfair
a thoughtless and myopic (ironic) gripe that is repeated ad nauseam
TBF hitting anything at that distance is difficult, and if you're standing still, you deserve to get sniped.
it's not, and I say that as a recon player
I never use anything higher than a 4x
That moment when you realize windows magnifier is the same as an 8x
the only thing wrong with the current sniping model is that the m200 has precisely zero drawbacks whatsoever but is uniquely powerful in more than one way
I can see that being an issue. I haven't sniped enough to know though.
if memory serves you've got a projectile velocity 300 m/s faster than the next in line, the damage is such that it is the only gun in the game that can kill an exo helmet support in one shot, and it has competitive stats in all other respects
there is no actual reason to use any other rifle in the game for sniping
it alredy in beta tho 🗿
using anything else is simply stubborn flexing or an attempt to be special; I should know, since I exclusively use the L96
I would like to see vehicle optics being able to take damage, like in WW3. Recon could have AMRs for an AT option. AMRs could have heavy drop and long reloads. They would not bodyshot in 1, but would do significant damage to chest. the AMRs would also provide some needed variety to the recon class.
Maybe they could also pop tires.
Oki would have to code all that to work as a new gear for recon. thats a lot of time used on making recon more useful, then everyone needs to get something new as well.
I've got all the anti-material capability I need with my C4
Assault needs some love... I don't agree that assault needs utility, a basic class would be nice. If you took ARs away from Engi and Medic, then buffed them. Assault would be more enticing as the "push" class.
o.o
yeah giving ARs to both medic and engie feels weird if you want assault to have its own identity
Nice photo shop 69 head 
ok 🤓
i dont even have photoshop 😭
nor i could use it
But i bet you wish you could tho. Then again Photo shop steals peoples stuff so maybe don't do that.
I figured thats what he screen shot but its on a blank back ground, So i thought 'OH funny joke time."
oops
i could learn it if i wanted to but i dont think its worth it for me
im not creative at all
Bet
"Local man makes millions on taking BBR screenshots and photoshopping them into works of art."
This is a legit thing btw.
battlebit nfts when
When Ok unbans the NFT boys who tried to NFT the shit out of BBR last year.
Oki, if i remember correctly, said He hated NFT's and would never allow anything kin to them near his project. Also Steam would have to remove BBR from its store as they have a strick no NFT thing going on as of last year too.
powerful
honestly a safe move, NFT's have suddenly become toxic. All content related to them is starting to get really cancer ridden.
they were always cancer
I love suggestions
This is true, every thread I click on is toxic energy and people arguing.
Not including Timoruz in this, but most of those toxic people that aren't helpful at all. Payed for the game already threw patron. Just a pattern, i've noticed, its not a fact.
Interesting, maybe some buyers remorse.
how do you reach that conclusion
buyers elitisms IMO But that's not true for all of them. I planned on donating to the game just to see the game have as little a chance to fall as possible thre funds. (yet Oki turned down my Damn offer of A 20 Trillion dollar deal. Cause me bad luck and the deal was put on hold now I have to work. In Florida. DO YOU KNOW WHAT LIVES IN FLORIDA?! Florida people thats what.
How did* Its not true to everyone just a select few.
I'm asking how do you reach that conclusion
how does anyone reach that conclusion
I'd understand the opposite, but to say that it's buyer's remorse driving it is absurd
I was about to go way to introspective for a moment then you clarified, WOOOOW dodged a bullet. OP of this post is a good example. donated, bashes game now caz they are miss informed, mislead, or missing some screws.
Ok find a server provider that matches these : high frequency cpu, unmetered connection, cheap APAC rates
OP is mad that he can't play the game more often and resorts to inane bullshit to vent his frustrations
thats fair
I can imagine a lot of the orangeposter responses to some of the suggestions are the result of patreon supporters liking what they had enough to "buy" the game already and don't see the changes as positive
Spitballing nothing serious.
I don't think it's buyer's remorse. I think it's more likely that the invested or sweaty players are likely to donate to the game, since they're invested.
I really don’t understand the “put up one server” stance. One server would hold a max of 254 players. Which means if that one server is full, no one that isn’t already in would be able to play.
So you’d just have to sit in server browser endlessly trying to get in. Imagine thousands of people trying to do this.
Versus what we have now, tons of servers everyone can join multiple times throughout the week as we continue development to actually release the game into EA.
THIS^^ but not only this. The server's are subject to attacks often and making one single target for them to focus on means they server will come down by external forces within minutes. Along with the unintended effect of SO MANY ip's trying to connect to one address at once, it be like a DOS attack!
Then it would be “put up more servers 24/7” - which basically would translate to “release the game right now”
And it’s not ready to be released
Still has the heli's framework to get worked out, tweaks on the new boats and how they work, fixing some issues with classes being broken in playtests screwing with Data per play test. It still has some work to go threw and Im NOT an avid Dev for Unity and I can see those being some issues that need working on over time.
Oh also the hole in security with Steam allowing aim assist threw its back end controller confie stuff, that need some addressing. lol. Love getting auto sniped by people with scripted controllers. (I dont actually know how that all works or if Oki already has some net to catch that issue.)
I already told him this, like twice now, and they didn't pay any attention..
So this thread is done yeah?
Seems so
did we gleam anything from this??
nothing we didn't already know
The playtest is not for you to have fun. It’s for the devs to test out the game before early access
So basically what you are saying is everyone being able to play the game for a few hours every couple days is going to kill the game but one single server (which probably isn’t as good for testing either) where you have a 1 in 160 chance of getting into a server would magically keep the game alive? Stop acting like you somehow know more then the dev who I would very much guess thinks about this game a lot
I regret reading this post OP actually gave me brainrot
Backer, regular, tester, programmer or visitor...the playtests are all we have until release. If some folks lose interest and stop playing because of this, that's okay...life goes on and the rest of us will patiently await release. Nothing of quality is ever created by rushing the process.
Humanity is doomed and there is no going back
I'm gonna buy this game twice even though I already backed it. GIVE ME GIVE ME
now if only more people understood that about projects like Star Citizen ^_^
give oki the money for that and i’m sure he’d do it
This game rips, I have a blast everytime I'm on.
I feel like if it did come out today or within the next week it would easily earn enough money to run the servers, sense everyone whos stuck around loves and likes the game and a few big youtubers have been making videos on it, so i can see why some people want it to release,though i would say just to wait until the decide to release the game if people really enjoy it they will stick around until then and buy it
Steam locks revenue for around two months so they’d run out of money keeping servers up before they’d get their money from steam
TIL. Maybe Oki can push out a cosmetic Patreon tier for the 2 months? Label it early access supporter or something
2b2t reference
what...
2b2t always has a massive queue
2b2t has like 250 playerslots
the que was like usualy around 20 hrs
ish
gotcha
Oh so you know how to develop games and code? you seem to know a lot. what kills off a game are people like you complaining unnecessarily.
holy fuck this happened months ago why the fuck are you bothering to respond,
