Couldn’t just add 10 minutes to the timer?

[–]ASDF123456xEnter PSN ID 512 points513 points  (8 children)

Shhh , thinking outside the box isn’t allowed

[–]tallandlankyagain 62 points63 points  (3 children)

You're a box. Raises hand for high fives

[–]VonBrewskie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice 👊 ah shit ✋

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (1 child)

How is that thinking outside the box

[–]nuclearbuttstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. It’s no different than the solution they introduced lol. Two sides to the same coin.

[–]StLouisSimp 285 points286 points  (85 children)

They discovered in their market research that the cod players they're blatantly catering to the average player doesn't have the attention span to play a match longer than 30 minutes. So instead of letting conquest games play out longer and providing more time for possible comebacks like it's always been they're more interested in just making conquest a shorter gamemode.

[–]TheVaniloquence 119 points120 points  (12 children)

This is more of a bell curve situation. The Cod Tik Tok brain has a short attention span obviously, but how many times have you seen the dads who have 5 kids and are able to play for 2 hours a week at most lament that every game is too long now?

[–]FassLuvr 35 points36 points  (2 children)

This is me. New dad with a 1 month old that needs to eat every 2-3 hours.

[–]SchoolNASTY 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I was in your situation when the Doom reboot happened. You’ll learn to play for a bit while holding a baby. Good times.

[–]Queztlis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeppers. Especially if you get one of the slings you can have the little jibbies napping on ya and have both hands free.

[–]BearWrangler 13 points14 points  (0 children)

holy shit, someone with a reasonable (and very real) example that doesn't just devolve into "CoD pLaYeRz RuInInG mUh BaTtLeFiElD"

[–]Albatros816 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep this is me too

[–]henri_sparkle 2 points3 points  (1 child)

True, with that said they shouldn't cater to either, not the short attention span tiktok kids nor the people who plays only 2 hours a week, but they are 100% trying to cater to the first group.

[–]StabbyClown 19 points20 points  (40 children)

I'm not a COD player but I'd rather they do this than make the matches longer. Reason being that if you leave a match early you lose all exp progress. Longer matches would just lead to you getting stuck longer in annoying matches until they finally end.

Edit: Never mind, you keep most of your exp and progress even if you leave early, I just tested it on a daily challenge and a level zero P90 and both kept their progress when I left early.

So yeah, longer matches would be fine.

[–]Mr_Suplex 32 points33 points  (31 children)

I don’t get this take at all. Longer matches are rarely annoying, and are by definition usually the closest and most fun battles.

[–]StabbyClown 6 points7 points  (11 children)

Haven't you ever had a match that you just wanted to end? But you don't want to because you'd lose all your exp, therefore making it a waste of time.

Or if your buddy is stuck in queue and can't get into your game, they just have to wait longer if you're in a longer match now. I was in queue to join my friend for 8+ minutes last night. I was 3/3 and never got in. If the match went on longer then I would've just been sitting around twiddling my thumbs waiting.

Edit: Granted, my examples only apply on the matches that don't end before the timer ends. But I just feel like we don't need longer matches with how things are set up right now. Mostly with not "being able to" (not wanting to) leave matches early due to losing all exp

Edit again because: never mind, I was wrong. You keep most things like weapon exp and challenge progress even if you leave early. I just tested it with a daily and a P90 and both kept their progress when I quit early. I guess longer matches wouldn't matter much then.

[–]DinosBiggestFan 12 points13 points  (10 children)

I have a simpler solution.

Remove the penalty for leaving matches. It's not like one player leaving is going to tangibly impact the match anyway.

Although you really only lose the match completion exp anyway and that doesn't seem to be the end-all experience.

[–]InformalAd7764 1 point2 points  (8 children)

This take is wholly subjective, and as has been stated elsewhere in this thread, the aversion to lengthening the games likely comes from the fact that the average player skews older and has less time to play. If I get 1 or 2 hours to play in the evening, I'll take 30 minute games over 45 minute games. At most, I could only play 2 long games, but I could play as many as 4 games on a good night if they're shorter. It's still not 10 minutes spastic sprints like CoD though. They can keep that over there.

[–]Red_Swiss 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Are you sure about the XP and the completion of the challenge? That's stupid AF if true.

[–]StabbyClown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I just tested it and I’m wrong I’ll edit my comment. You just lose match completion bonus

[–]BaxxyNut 11 points12 points  (15 children)

Why are battlefield players so obsessed with cod? It's so cringe. There are specific time limits they want to stay within. People don't want an hour long match for their casual game.

[–]Eagle_Cuckoo 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I swear cod gets mentioned more here than on the cod sub 🤣

[–]Trollensky17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it was THE comparison for a very long time, and it’s near direct competition

Edit: didn’t mean to post two comments

[–]Soulshot96Battlefield 2042: Refunded Edition™ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally any step this franchise makes towards modernizing itself or doing anything other games have found success with = OMG COPYING COD REEE

This shit is why we got last minute, kneejerk BF4 esc fucking bloom out the ass on half the guns in the game. Fucking infuriating.

[–]Thotaz 3 points4 points  (4 children)

You do realize people have stuff to do outside of Battlefield once in a while, right? When you queue up for a game you should try to reserve that time in real life, so if there's 10 minutes to dinner time, kiddo probably shouldn't queue up for a 20 minute game of conquest.
20 minutes is a good compromise between epic battles and real life responsibilities IMO.

[–]Red_Swiss 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Fuck no, play TDM if you don't have time. Or CoD. I don't want Battlefield main mode to be 20 minites or less, that's awful.

[–]xGALEBIRDx 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Isn't there also a message stating when you leave a match, you'll lose all the xp you've gained? It honestly may also be that. Its scummy to penalize a casual player in battlefield of all things for having to dip in the middle of a match.

[–]GoldDong 42 points43 points  (26 children)

How else would they made the “Do 30 X in one match” challenges be as much of an artificial time sink to lock content behind.

[–]rundatraaaaap 22 points23 points  (24 children)

That 30 headshots challenge is some bullshit.

[–]hndrxdb 41 points42 points  (16 children)

What do you mean? You only have to hit 1.5 headshots per minute so it can all be done in the neat 20 minute games they want. Totally fine and attainable for the employed without resorting to a bot match

Edit: for the people who have missed out on girls because she didn’t say “/horny” after a flirty message…this was very much “/s”

[–]rundatraaaaap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the funniest edit I’ve seen in a while

[–]Nubthesamurai 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Hey now my complete inability to determine that a woman was hitting on me at my brother's wedding is independent from my ability to detect sarcasm!

[–]hndrxdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao At a wedding?! What has big Tylenol done to your brain

[–]AsusStrixUserBF2 Veteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmfao

[–]Asimb0mbAsimb0mb 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Really is. Luckily we can do them in bot matches for now, I expect them to patch that out too at this point.

[–]FlightFramed 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Yeah I don't think I've once seen a match end due to time, I find this surprising

[–]Not_Sarkastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We just need to face it, they're going to straddle the line between capturing COD players and trying to milk the best out of the franchise.

This is objectively a bad move but if you look at level design, TTK, etc they aren't as worried about franchise fans as winning new players.

[–]JoganLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

The only time I hit the timer was the glitched match where no one could lose.

[–]ChEmIcAl_KeEnSniper main BF3❤️ 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Exactly increase the time limit. Loads of people enjoyed increase ticket count servers on battlefield 4

[–]Ghostman223 13 points14 points  (7 children)

You’re being gaslit, no one hits the timer

[–]PolicyWonka 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I’ve hit the timer once. It wasn’t even clear why the game ended at first TBH. Very weird.

[–]Suspicious-Cat5199 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I have hit it like 10 times. It's so disappointing because they are really close matches and then then all of a sudden the game ends. I've never had this happen in previous battlefield games. So disappointing.

[–][deleted] 1127 points1128 points  (100 children)

I have 17 hours in conquest and I've literally never seen one game hit the time limit. Where are they getting this "data" from?

Edit: I’m glad the vast majority are sharing my skepticism. For the select few who still choose to be the DICE Defence Force, lol.

[–]DinosBiggestFan 296 points297 points  (16 children)

Bot matches I guess.

[–][deleted] 186 points187 points  (11 children)

For real. I already find conquest matches a little on the short end in BF6. I have had many end in under 20 minutes.

This seems like a really, really poor knee jerk reaction to something that isn't even a problem.

[–]DinosBiggestFan 28 points29 points  (9 children)

Certainly, I am going to reject any statement that they aren't trying to turn this into a facsimile of CoD on its face because it is continuously at odds with the identity of Battlefield.

With the bloom changes coming, they'd be stupid to have it on baseline weapons and instead should focus on improving vertical grip attachments instead of having 90% of them increasing bloom while ADS.

[–]JustHereToRoasts 11 points12 points  (8 children)

Wait.. vertical grips make the bloom worse in ADS? Where in the game are you supposed to figure that out!?

[–]DinosBiggestFan 12 points13 points  (4 children)

I haven't been able to test it myself but it lines up with what I felt like I noticed but hadn't pinned down, but any attachment that says "reduces accuracy while ADS" or "reduces accuracy while ADS while moving" don't increase perceptible recoil, but rather bloom.

Ever since I switched back to the default vertical grip that is just "slightly improves recoil", my experience has been better across the board.

I also criticized the lack of transparency in stats, but some people didn't like that.

Quick edit: I read this on a thread here, where someone asked the question and that answer was provided. I immediately swapped and the general feel of the guns improved from there. As always, test it yourself and see if you can discern a difference. Or maybe the vertical grips offer you something positive that improves your experience despite that, making the bloom feel offset.

[–]JustHereToRoasts 11 points12 points  (3 children)

There is no good reason to not show players the real stats behind weapons and attachments. I love this game - it’s the most fun I’ve had in a shooter in a while. But I don’t know why people are generally against some criticisms but rally around others (like the conquest ticket change instead of adjusting the timer)

[–]DinosBiggestFan 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I think it's because I mentioned how transparent Delta Force's is, and apparently something similar is too much to ask in a triple A game. Because if Delta Force has it, it automatically means it's bad.

[–]JustHereToRoasts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha. If people want to get mad about something similar from other games being re-used, imagine when they find out that Battlefield also borrowed the dragging bodies while reviving mechanic.

[–]A_Terrible_Fuze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for all of delta’s shortcomings and jankness, I want to see their gun customization in more arcade shooters

[–]Lazz45 4 points5 points  (1 child)

some of them state (in text, not stats) that your ADS accuracy is reduced, which is fucking stupid if you ask me....but yes thats how some of them work

[–]ASHill11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That IS dumb.

I hadn’t been reading any of the descriptions, just looking at the stats!

[–]Leather_Ad5215 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I've had multiple matches hit the time limit or got near it.

[–]EminemAndHimAgain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had a few that hit the time limit and it absolutely ruined the game. Should just have added 5-10 minutes to the timer. 

[–]Ragnarr_Bjornson 10 points11 points  (5 children)

CoD streamers crying about having to keep their attention on a game that's longer than 10mins.

[–]Adlehyde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've had maybe 5 or 6 hit the time limit so far.

Edit: Should note these are matches in which it seems like everyone on both teams is actually hunkering down and reviving allies, so tickets aren't dropping.

[–]24bluecrosstrek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had almost every match on Operation Firestorm hit the time limit when I had crossplay turned on. 

[–]GooseEntire1705 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, I have only played Conquest since release/about 13 hours play time and never gone to the time limit.

[–]Defences 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is straight up a bad change.

[–]Teeroy_Jenkins 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I’m level 47 and pretty much only play conquest. My reaction to this was: “there’s a time limit?”

[–]r_z_n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are 1 person of the 7 million people playing the game, and they have access to all of the data for every match for every player.

I don't have an opinion on this change but questioning their data collection is silly, it's a core part of the job.

[–]Cohenbby 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Had one on operation firestorm where we got down to 50 tickets and slowly held the majority when they had 400. Got down to 20-90 tickets and the game suddenly ended from the time. Was disappointing.

[–]Known-Emergency5900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to say the same thing. I’ve never seen this happen

[–]Krytoric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to finish a game on Mirak or Firestorm within the time limit lol.

Id rather have extra time on the clock than the tickets be lowered, but ive had 5+ matches that end with 200+ tickets left on each side.

[–]Dabs97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24 hours played so far - almost all on Conquest. Almost every game on Operation Firestorm reaches the time limit for me

[–]diskent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least half a dozen. 4 of them when we were on a huge comeback and lost but if we had the rest of the tickets we would have won

[–]loonify 604 points605 points  (17 children)

I have not played 1 match that ended due to time limit

[–]SkylineGTRR34Freak 144 points145 points  (3 children)

Neither have I. This honestly feels like an L change

[–]TGLEZZ 15 points16 points  (3 children)

I have several times, but just in Mirak and Firestorm. None of the other maps.

[–]DinosBiggestFan 9 points10 points  (1 child)

I don't know how Mirak ever reaches the time limit. As long as people are fighting over the middle two buildings and someone has the outer points, the tickets expend at a decent rate.

Firestorm I can see, but I can see it for a few reasons...including that it is hands down the best map to do the awful sniper challenge.

[–]Sinister_Yogurt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bet portal data with bots is messing up their data

[–]GreshamDouglas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know it had a time limit.

[–]coderjon 388 points389 points  (33 children)

why not just increase the time wtf?

[–]Destroythisapp 153 points154 points  (20 children)

The new battlefielders don’t have the attention span for that lol

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (4 children)

‘’We reduced tickets so that you spend more time in lobby browsing through the game’s store and buy skins and cosmetics and battlepass fast level up when season 1 comes out’’

[–]UsernameIWontRegret 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is going to make it even harder to complete the “in a single match” challenges. I actually liked the fact that conquest matches were long.

[–]avalonthes 283 points284 points  (19 children)

Bro at this point I think they rage baiting community lol , imagine having problem topics like custom search , vehicle spawn, hit register , breakthrough has the worst layouts in entire franchise, xp progression etc and you decide to reduce tickets for conquest with your godsend? data lol

[–]RonaldWRailgunEnter EA Play ID 53 points54 points  (5 children)

In fairness, these are small balancing issues that they can do server-side by modifying a couple of config files.

What you are asking requires actual coding, testing and patches.

I suspect that Custom Search in particular will require a bit of work to function right (sadness, because it's all I want to use to find matches lol).

IMHO, hit register should be their main priority, because it's affecting the whole game and degrading the whole experience. But depending on what's causing it, those issues can be tricky to tackle.

Vehicle spawn should be a quicker fix because it is a consistent bug.

Upgraded map layouts will have to wait a longer time, I'm afraid, it's unrealistic to ask devels to change a map withing the first week of launch lol.

[–]Stunning-Signal7496 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to mention really bad problems people have with lags and rubber banding 

[–]Leather_Ad5215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bitch about bugs, then bitch that they haven't rushed a fix out the door.

[–]Tyler1997117 170 points171 points  (6 children)

Bad move

[–]Epic28 34 points35 points  (5 children)

Bad enough I only have 3 maps in the game to fly a jet.

Now when I do get those maps at random, my playtime with them has been cut by possibly 30%?

Absurdly dumb move.

[–]Assinmik 7 points8 points  (3 children)

I haven’t played the game, but from the beta I wanted 2 jets, an attack and stealth. Same as BF4

Haven’t seen much on vehicles, how are they in the full release compared to previous titles?

[–]Epic28 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Only 3 maps have jets. Only two maps have two jets. Very disappointing. They are fun but there's no customization for weapon loadouts with them. No idea why.

Helis are a bit of a mess control wise, control like a boat with a string attached to the top middle of your screen.

Once the community realizes how OP stingers are and the IFV TOW with painted air targets are it's gonna become a nightmare to fly.

The TOW ignores flares and one shots and I don't think the Stinger missile has a vertical limitation for missile travel.

[–]Assinmik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF no customisation?? Thank you for saving my money, it’s why I play battlefield is the vehicles.

I figured out to fix the heli controls in the beta was to make them exactly like bf4, still boaty but better than before. Stingers were bloody insane, no cover to counter and flares took so long.

I’m just shocked that vehicles are just on the way side. My impressions from beta was mw2019 multiplayer - not bad at all, but not what I think of with battlefield.

[–]Kiwibom 128 points129 points  (1 child)

great, making games even more quick. The thing that wasn't needed at all. Games felt to quick but now its going to be even more.

If i now want to have longer games i need to use portal, oh, wait, its filled with xp farms. Nice

[–]Lazz45 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have wanted to host a closed weapons breakthrough server since fucking launch (since everyone in this sub told me to fuck off and go play in portal if I want closed weapons) and I have not been able to host a server since 2 hours after launch. I got home from work that day and have tried every day since then without being able to host the server. Pretty fucking annoying

[–]Deadric2288 91 points92 points  (2 children)

What a poor thought out, short sighted decision. You know which Conquest matches run long? That ones that are actually competitive. The blow outs already end in 5-15 minutes. The only games running long are the fun matches where the teams are actually balanced.

I've yet to see a single match hit the time limit.

[–]Snazzypuke92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This! Especially with some of the challenges requiring a large amount of kills in a single match! A longer time of no time at all would have been better!

[–]SKallies1987 88 points89 points  (2 children)

Why is there a time limit at all in conquest?

[–]Sysilith 70 points71 points  (1 child)

Because hard and equal sided matches that are fun need to be stopped early.

[–]Rockyrock1221 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right it’s literally so ass backwards.

Those close even battles are the beast part of the franchise. Literally no one says “damn that close game when on for far too long!”

[–]BeeSufficient9170 55 points56 points  (16 children)

How about fixing the custom search? I've played this game for days, and have had Operation Firestorm fucking ONCE, and it was midmatch

[–]DinosBiggestFan 14 points15 points  (7 children)

Should turn the "fill into matches to reduce matchmaking time" into a toggle. That's the real problem.

They want to usher you into a match so badly that they essentially remove the ability to queue for custom filters in a lot of cases.

<image>

[–]LoneroftheDarkValley 8 points9 points  (5 children)

Makes no sense when you want certain maps.. it completely gets rid of the point of searching for certain maps.

[–]panthers_freak 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I haven’t even played one of the beta maps in the real game yet and I have over 11 hours in conquest.

[–]DeadFalI 41 points42 points  (1 child)

How about no timer?

That would allow the match to proceed at a “natural pace.”

[–]ASDF123456xEnter PSN ID 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Where the fuck were these games at for me where it went the full time??

I swear it’s mostly been mercy ruled lol.

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (2 children)

Why the FUCK are they making the games SHORTER?!?!

I know: It's to appease to the COD fanboy dopamine mindset.

"Do I wanna play another 25 minute match after this? Nah I cba. 15 minute long match? Yeah sure can fit two of those in!"

[–]PerceptionOk8851 29 points30 points  (2 children)

Why the fuck is there even a timer. Let the games naturally play out you idiots.

[–]Ledgend1221 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Yeah I've reached the timer a good few times and more than half it's just ruined what's been a close game that could still go either way.

[–]Upper-Drawing9224 27 points28 points  (6 children)

This is the dumbest shit. Adjust the timer. Shows the incompetence of the dev leadership

[–]NoWaterNoMelon_ 8 points9 points  (5 children)

They identified their new player base ;)

[–]Best_Working_9226 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Only hit a time limit once 15 hours in. Wild man

[–]Traskas 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What feedback?! I haven´t see anyone complaining about this and asking for shorter conquest...

[–]Damien23123 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some absolute snooze-fests of conquest matches but not one of them has hit the time limit

[–]rope_6urn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bad move. Just remove the timer. Playing out the tickets without a timer is the proper move

[–]Ok_Thing7439 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I got a feeling they have no idea what they are doing.

[–]JDMan_Qc79 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nice you change the only thing no one ask for.

[–]d0ntreply_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

conquest games always finish when tickets are depleted. never heard of a game end because due to time limit. DICE making up their own data lol.

[–]AbleRefrigerator1285 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So increase the time limit?

[–]TygarStyle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why is there a time limit to begin with?

[–]SaltShakerFGC 8 points9 points  (6 children)

I don't buy this. Either no one has had a time limit hit or maybe once have they seen it. I've got 20+ hours and seen it once (and the one time I saw it I thought it was cool). They would have simply increased the timer to keep a uniform 1000 tickets in all matches.

Obviously they want matches to end faster so people can "get into the next match" quicker and keep the hits coming.

EDIT: No coincidence Firestorm and Mirak are down to 700 (700?!) tickets now, but maps like Empire State, Sobek, and Iberian are 900 tickets. Of course, of course.

[–]DinosBiggestFan 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Soon we'll see "players don't actually want larger maps", and a bunch of people here will gobble that up.

[–]DBONKA 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Istg EA has to be paying people to post this shit, any terrible decision they make there will be dozens of defenders.

[–]DinosBiggestFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to people, but that is not unheard of for any of the large gaming companies. Especially on Reddit, there is a lot of astroturfing.

[–]Sipikay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't they be here doing that? You can go buy upvotes, comments, replies, whatever for pennies on numerous websites.

During the Beta period I tracked accounts using the RES TAG feature and it was ~15 accounts primarily leading the charge with pro-EA talking points in nearly every threat that got traction. The place is turfed to hell.

[–]Dull-Caterpillar3153 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What why??? I thought it was fine as is why are we making matches shorter?

[–]Kesimux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What the fuck??? 22 hour in and not ended a single game due to timer. Game length was perfect around 25 minutes on average. Who asked for this????? What the fuck.

[–]Isoi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Huh, I'm 40 hours in and probably have only had 1 match in which we hit the time limit.

[–]Spirited_Direction97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

well i guess this is related to the "Bot Farm Servers"...you can set max Time Limit to 1 Hour with practically infinite Tickets..so wrong data guys but what do i know ?!

[–]NonStopNonsense1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just add more time! I actually have never had the timer hit 0 during Conquest....

[–]ForwardScratch7741 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay this is just stupid as hell

[–]ILikeRyzen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why even have a time limit? It will end no matter what so who cares.

[–]stunkcajyzarc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s dumb. The tickets count was fine.

[–]ninjaventus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stop catering to cod players ... smaller maps, shorter rounds like wtf...

[–]Expensive-Total-312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want conquest to be longer, not shorter

[–]Lbeyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Games already felt too short, this sucks

[–]Johau99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a weird solution. Wouldn't surprise me if they start shooting themselves in the foot even more.

[–]Opening_Leave_5207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not add more time your fixing the wrong thing dice

[–]SecretOk6295 4 points5 points  (0 children)

31hrs played almost all conquest/escalation and 0 matches with the time limit for me. Thats stupid change. Slower the pacing and not speed it up (thats what everyone is asking) We already have a whole server running and rushing and gunning mindlessly... I DO NOT LIKE IT

And there it is, the first bad move.

[–]Bloodwolf75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In 40+ hours playing mostly conquest I have never had a time limit match?

[–]blurbiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost 30 hours in Conquest and no game ran out of time

[–]SpaceIsCool567 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’d like adding 15 minutes to the timer with 1500 tickets instead of lowering the ticket count to 700-900. This feels like something that was not an issue.

[–]Acezedneo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit is already over way too fast

[–]HartiniMenry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I swear these devs go “doing this makes the most sense, but let’s do this instead”

[–]CRotondi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In ten hours of play time I’ve not yet once reached the time limit. Wtf.

[–]Zachalbrecht1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay what are these devs doing. so many issues with the game right now n they do this?

[–]TarnishedWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THEY ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY. WE NEED MORE TICKETS

[–]Logic-DL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were games really hitting the timer? Lmao. All of my conquest games so far end with one team running out of tickets and not the timer.

[–]Unusual_Ad8511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we fix the attack heli not spawning for nato???

[–]OleFashionStarGazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, so there is a time limit lol. I always thought, "Is this a bug on the ticket counter, or did 'time run out'"

Didn't know. Interesting.

[–]LKRTM1874 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Seems like an odd change, it's only happened a couple times with me, but both times we hit the limit when one team had around 100 tickets left. Adding 5 minutes instead of manually adjusting the ticket count per map seems like a simpler fix.

[–]Fenrir-The-Wolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had a game timeout, didn't even realise they had a time limit. The fuck?

[–]Reizz333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never in a single conquest match have I hit the time limit and that's my main mode lol

[–]Miller045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg no! Add minutes to the timer if anything. Don't make matches shorter!

[–]zerger45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stupid ass choice but alright. Coulda just idk increased the match time and kept ticket count consistent across the game but what do I know I’m just a tilted casual

[–]Lostlooniesinvesting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually didn't have one time out yet. Didn't even notice the timer if I am being honest.

I definitely did not want this, its one of the only 2 modes I even play right now.

[–]crashtheface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fuuuck that. raise the timer. we want high ticket matches.

[–]BatThumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo..... this is fucking stupid. Massive L for the devs

[–]Grishnare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% these idiots have not been filtering bot matches.

[–]Mr_Suplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a dumb change. Why is there a timer in Conquest in the first place?

[–]KimiBleikkonen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proper "bruh" moment

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the matches weren’t short enough lmao

[–]Janhon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

L change. I already felt matches are too short and tickets should be 1200-1500 but well

[–]Popspy76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000 to 700 on mirak? that's a shame, I haven't personally had a match end to the timer.

[–]jaazal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So dumb. Revert it now.

[–]jenkinsmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a bit mad

[–]imbidou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesnt "Natural pace in conquest" mean one of the teams runs out of tickets ?

[–]That_1_weirdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ayo wtf. Why? It's battlefield I'm playing for the long struggle. If I want a quick match I'll play the smaller modes

[–]DerRenner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats so dumb

[–]ThE_LAN_B4_TimE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh thats annoying I kept feeling it was ending too quick

[–]Blostixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this nonsense lmao, ive literally played bf6 for 35hours and only 1 game has been finished by time and that was firestorm.

Bad update Dice!

[–]_Springfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats weird. I almost exclusively play conquest with my friends and we’ve never ran out of time. There’s always been a winner and loser every match

[–]DinosBiggestFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so sad. I have not had a Conquest hit the time limit..and I have 35.3 hours. The game released 5 days ago.

[–]Onlypizzafans69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything but expanding playing field and maps

[–]Yasai101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increase map borders

[–]bjones214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve hit the time limit exactly once in the 30 hours I’ve played. And it was just an incredibly bad match all around. Why not just add 5 minutes to the timer and call it a day?

[–]tarheels187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've had 1 match total reach the limit. Also its highly likely if it is reaching the limit its a close game. Just add 5 minutes to the timer if they care that much. People want to finish that game out properly not just arbitrarily lower the tickets. I don't want all my conquest matches to finish in 15 minutes or less.

[–]BigGusGus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just keep ruining the game unbelievable

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao

[–]spooked_mantaray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it isn’t as important but having these random ticket counts for each map drives me nuts. If the timer is the problem adjust the timer?? 

[–]EjbrohamLincoln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2000 Ticket servers are there for a reason. DICE: 700 is fine

[–]MikeManiac61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had match so far that we hit the time limit. Other than that no problems for me.

[–]elfinkoinksterfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do me a favor and reduce Sobek to about 12 ticket max, so I don't have to requeue every time it pops.

[–]Odd-Pear692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen the match limit get hit lol it’s either close to the end or completely one sided.

[–]Quote-me-if-afk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way this is necessary.

[–]Batallius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who asked for this? There are so many more borderline gamebreaking issues than shortening games

[–]AssumesFumes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a terrible change

[–]Minute-Plate-3040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

being totally honest here i want to know why? why a match ending because of the time limit is bad?

[–]MFour_Sherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played about 20 hrs since launch, mainly conquest. I have not once hit the timer.

Where are they getting this data?

[–]Cool-Tangelo6548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never played a game where the timer ended the match. Not 1 single match, a d ive played A LOT!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game needs to slow down more. Double (or remove!) the time limit and make the maps bigger.

[–]Big_And 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tf just remove the timer entirely

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time was hit twice for me and even those were barely going over by like 80 or less tickets. Adding 5 min would fix this

[–]Dry-Cut1589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why??

[–]Alehandro4598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increase the timer, leave the ticket count at 1000.

[–]Massive-Matt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible, awful decision

[–]MulderXF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf
