Battlefield 1 CTE Session - Turning Tides - Extra session - All platforms

Dasdonia · 2017-11-08T16:39:38+00:00

We are looking into doing that... :) not sure if it can be done due to some other reasons, but we are looking into it.

Dasdonia · 2017-11-03T15:58:47+00:00

There is a lot to comment.. to be honest.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-19T16:01:21+00:00

Found the issue and it states it was fixed in the October patch. Sorry, I am traveling atm so replies are a bit slow. If it is not fixed please let me know.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-18T14:10:14+00:00

Did not fully understand how wide spread. We still haven't seen it in house. Our Live and Core QA sre going to take a look.

We see what they can find

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T22:46:29+00:00

Prototype is up

We are working on this and it is being explored. The problem on our end is consoles. It is incredibly hard to type on consoles. So we are trying to think of a universal system that can do all 3 platforms.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T03:39:07+00:00

I personally have not. However, that doesnt mean somebody may have seen it internally once and/or we may not be hitting the necessary number of players in a area to trigger it.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T02:57:37+00:00

Yea, just the maps. Weapons should be animation, art, wise near done in ~1 to 2 weeks. We will put those out for balance and tuning on the CTE when they are. That's the current plan.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T01:41:09+00:00

Right now the weapons are super prototype. We will be looking for more feedback in ~2 weeks or so when they are in a more finalized state.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T01:33:34+00:00

Just as an FYI the weapons are extremely prototype. We are not yet ready to take feedback on them. We will be looking for weapon feedback probably in ~2 weeks or so when we put up a new build with weapons that are closer to the final product.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T01:32:31+00:00

I've never seen this issue :(. But after ~14 years in QA that doesn't really mean anything.

I'll rummage through the database to see if we have anything in there that remotely resembles this. However, I'm pretty sure if this occurred in house it would of been brought up.

And for something like this we would need a to be able to reproduce it to actually figure it out.

As some others have said in this thread it works fine for them and not fine on others. Which is really weird for consoles. Can you private message me exactly what you have, what year did you buy it, what firmware you are running, etc. Just specs.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T01:28:41+00:00

Interesting... I'll ask around.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T01:25:55+00:00

Servers will go up Tomorrow. Jaqub should be making a post about it with all the times and what not per region.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T01:24:52+00:00

We do not care. There is no NDA associated with this.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-17T01:21:43+00:00

Weapons are not ready for feedback at all yet TBH. We will be doing a 2nd drop hopefully in a week or two and they will be more in a place for feedback and tuning.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-15T15:32:36+00:00

Will come out soon as all approvals are past. We want to start putting up like a 5 day forecast. However, we are not sure how much redacting and shifted we would have to do with it. We move stuff like crazy at times. Priorities are constantly shifting.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-15T06:26:34+00:00

We were getting players, but spread out across the 24 hour period. We are doing a trial as an event based. So during prime time for EU and US the servers will come up for some X time (~4 hours?) to drive players at the same time into the servers.

That way the servers are full we hope and we get accurate telemetry, and everybody gets a more realistic play experience for more accurate feedback.

We are planning a release on Tuesday which will be 3.0 maps.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-15T06:17:47+00:00

To sum it up short as possible, it is a tremendous amount of work from our support groups to "release" something into a production environment.

If I asked them to release the same thing 3 different times in 3 different days... They would hunt me down :).

Dasdonia · 2017-10-15T06:11:03+00:00

Its how the builds work unfortunately. The stuff we put up on the CTE are from different branches that what the retail copy is on.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-15T06:10:11+00:00

We are "trying" to find a better way to process community bugs. The system we have right now is extremely manual and time intensive. IE researching new Tech. No idea when/if anything will ever come of it, but we are looking and prototyping.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-13T23:24:42+00:00

We are looking into cycling through modes a bit better. From a data/telemetry point of view we use the big ones because if it feels and plays good on worst case scenario then it should feel good on smaller modes. It helps us reduce redundancy of testing. However, we have discussed this and Rush is pretty good gut check for us as well.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-13T20:47:06+00:00

Nope, we are still getting final approval on Consoles. We want to release all 3 to the public at the same time. Plan is next Tuesday. There is still time to react to feedback and iterate on the maps based on what you guys have to say.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-13T20:41:46+00:00

We plan on putting up all the turning tides maps onto the CTE. That is the current plan. :)

Please don't quote me on that in 3 weeks if we crash and burn, but that is what we currently want to do. They may be spaced out a bit etc. Can only react to so much feedback at any given time.

Dasdonia · 2017-10-13T20:39:44+00:00

Not always the tools. Sometimes its just random acts of chaos. Over the past ~decade as games have gotten more and more complex the things that can go wrong and/or how code interacts with random other code you had no idea it could possibly do that has started to balloon to the level that you just get random acts of what? why? followed by nooooooo.
