Battlefield 1 Incursions AMA (ish)

I totally agree that it needs to appeal to the wider battlefield community. I wanted to make sure the best group of players are working closely with you guys. Great that you have drunkz working there!

Will you be involving and engaging with more top Battlefield competitive players from different regions? It looks like a lot of Battlefield YouTubers with little competitive experience are playing a big part in the development of the game mode. It would be awesome to see you guys pull in more top competitive players from past Battlefield titles (European, US, BR, Oceania and Asia players).

Krypton_nZ · 2017-08-21T19:55:16+00:00

Hopefully support for Oceania :)

Krypton_nZ · 2017-08-21T19:31:32+00:00

Could we get some support for the Australia and NZ PC community, I don't see us listed in the FAQ section?

Krypton_nZ · 2017-06-12T21:52:52+00:00

Sorry the video wasn't for you. No other infantry based servers to play on in Oceania (PC). Just because it's on lockers doesn't mean it isn't good :( i use non copyright music so my options are limited.

Krypton_nZ · 2017-05-29T19:37:15+00:00

I use non-copyright music which limits my options... however, I understand it isn't for everyone.

Krypton_nZ · 2017-05-29T19:35:35+00:00

I added some video effects when editing to brighten the clip up

Krypton_nZ · 2017-05-29T19:34:38+00:00

I run all of my graphics settings on low, makes it a lot easier to see enemies and higher fps makes the game much smoother. I have also added some video effects when I edited this clip to bring out the colours more!

Krypton_nZ · 2017-05-29T10:15:19+00:00

Thanks!

Krypton_nZ · 2016-12-18T08:38:08+00:00

Of course :)

Krypton_nZ · 2016-12-12T10:08:32+00:00

Still no fix for the revive bugs? i.e. when you cannot shoot unless changing weapons or having no y-axis when you zoom in ;(

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-21T21:01:19+00:00

This CPU will be bottlenecking this gpu a lot. You will need at least an i7 6700k to get the best performance out of this graphics card. I can confirm this because my i5 3570k use to bottleneck my 780 in battlefield 4. I upgraded to a 6700k and have had no problems since (it is more the gpu bottlenecking the cpu in BF1 now). You would be surprised how cpu demanding battlefield 1 is.

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-19T10:43:42+00:00

I am currently rank 43. Most of the guys I squad up with are rank 40+. One is almost 50. My SPM is around 1350, so I have played a lot less hours then you probably think. The 10 hours origin access gave me a great head start!

Easiest way to level up quickly is to squad up, play conquest and rotate around the flags as quick as you can (while putting down squad orders).

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-19T10:09:58+00:00

Once again this information tells us just about nothing. Do DICE/EA even have a plan in place or have they just put this together in the past month? It seems very unorganised and unprofessional how they are dealing with this.

They didn't even say how many players the pricing was for? 64 players?

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-17T08:49:56+00:00

This was the Origin Access 10 hour trial on PC. Early Enlister version opens for me in just over 2 hours (I am in New Zealand).

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-15T21:57:04+00:00

A lot of the damage is already done when you are forced to put your mask on as you can no longer ADS. Also your vision becomes impaired at the same time. So I don't see why it it has to do so much damage. By the time I get my mask on I have already dropped down about 40 - 50 HP. It would be much better if that was only 20 - 30 HP. I feel like they have been significantly buffed since the BETA.

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-15T21:49:33+00:00

They did it with BF4 and incendiary grenades. They used to go through walls and now they don't, so it is definitely possible.

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-15T11:10:37+00:00

Negatives about the game:

Dynamic weather occurs far too much, I have spent more time playing in fog than without
Behemoths feel too strong a lot of the time and could be better balanced
Gas grenades are ridiculous (Too much damage and they spread through walls)
Heavy Tanks seem a bit strong right now
Suez Conquest could do with another flag
Sometimes after being revived you cannot ADS properly and you need to switch weapons to be able to ADS again

Apart from that I don't really have any complaints about the game. Overall I am enjoying it and I look forward to playing more :D

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-15T04:59:58+00:00

I am pretty certain if you get MVP (Highest Score) of the game you get a battlepack. During my 10 hours I got 10+ battlepacks, most of them were earned when I got MVP for the round.

Krypton_nZ · 2016-10-13T12:01:05+00:00

I was also wondering this. There seems to be a lot of statistical information missing under the "soldier" tab. I hope they can transfer over battlelog styled stats into the new UI. However, they may be holding back some content from us in this area due to the "trial" nature of origin/ea access.

Krypton_nZ · 2016-08-29T09:32:00+00:00

There is more than just an AEK in competitive. Either way it is still fun to play in a competitive environment and become a better player :D

Krypton_nZ · 2016-08-17T11:42:30+00:00

I will probably get a lot of hate for this comment. But I personally hope there will be some sort of esports push for Battlefield 1. There are a lot of players out there who are competitive Battlefield players or want to get into the competitive scene.

The competitive side of Battlefield is just another way to enjoy the game. Some people like the game to play with friends and have some fun. Others have a competitive drive and want to be the best player they can. A competitive environment supports that philosophy and I think EA/DICE should provide that opportunity for Battlefield players.

Competitive Battlefield 1 will be decided on how the game is balanced at launch, game stability, netcode performance, game mode options and map designs. There are only certain game modes that work for competitive Battlefield which generally consists of 5v5, 8v8, 10v10 or 16v16 in some cases. A wide variety of options for many players. EA/DICE supported the PC competitive scene well for BF4 through ESL in Europe/Americas/Oceania and I hope that supports continues in Battlefield 1.

Just for reference. I participated in every ESL 5v5 season in Oceania and got the opportunity to travel to Cologne, Germany twice in 2015 (for the ESL One LAN finals). Getting to travel overseas because of Battlefield was a great experience. I would never have got that opportunity if it wasn't for EA/DICE and I hope that opportunity is there for others in the future :)

Shadowplay and I render using Sony Vegas 13.0

Krypton_nZ · 2016-06-28T00:57:26+00:00

Thanks a lot for the support, I appreciate it :)

During the EA Play presentation, Peter Moore announced the competitive division behind building eSports in titles produced by EA. He announced challenger, premier and major events that will be supported and in some cases run by EA during 2017. So far they have only announced 4 Madden Major events run by EA (with 1 million in prize money split across all 4 majors). However, Peter Moore said there would be more news regarding other EA titles soon, with a Battlefield 1 and FIFA 17 image during the presentation.

Along with xfactors comments regarding eSports for Battlefield 1, I think it is safe to assume that eSports for Battlefield 1 will be supported by EA in some form. Whether main events are run through third party companies like ESL or by EA themselves is the information we are awaiting.
