One of the things i have mention before was the mess of BF4 at launch and how a community hub was created to be a liaison between the devs and the player base. Before the update were released they were tested on the community hub servers and a forum was added to give feedback on improvements to the game. Once the community decided it was good it was released to the community as a whole and this made the game better.
I think to get your player base back from the mess of this launch we need the have this community hub back and implement and players can join the hub with the decision to give feedback to the devs. Also signing an NDA so players can not openly talk about what is upcoming.
Just my thoughts on this.
Since no one else mentioned it yet, I will: server browsers for the main game. If we are unable to play with more than 3 other people at a time, and the next match randomizes the players over and over, what purpose is VoIP? Why communicate for that one game, make a new connection, then wave bye bye at the end? Bad enough it was hinted there would be rentable servers again, allowing Clans to play together again, but with out a server browser and the ability to stay in a server, the game is pretty useless. I’m so glad I upgraded my PC for this, spending much more than the gold edition of the game. Where’s my skin for that?? That’s a joke, I don’t care about skins, I care about playing with mates and having a good time. We can’t do that, we’ll never apparently be able to do that in BF again as your post makes Zero mention of browsers. I’m going to keep beating this drum. 100 friends allowed in Origin but we can only play with 3 at a time?? Give your heads a shake.
