Re: Weekly weapons Scrap Exchange updates

Hey folks,

We're checking out why it didn't update. We'll let you know once it's good to go.

Thanks for flagging!

Yea, noticed that around 8m EST on Sunday when they were supposed to change over. Been the No.3 Revolver and LT skins since May 2nd. Been waiting for the M1911 Super Rare Skin to become available on the Exchange for about 1 month 3 weeks now.😢

Operations campaign han't been changed either

Have you guys thought about making everything available for purchase? It’s been about 5 years since the game came out, why not just add everything to a big exchange or something? Even the exclusives people missed out on?

Logged on just now and the exchange is still not updated.  I hope EA can get it fixed soon.

Tbh I am worried that because we missed this weeks exchange refresh (or skipped) that the skin will be a pistol. We haven’t had a shotgun like the 10-A or a SMG like the MP-18/Hellreigel/Automatico in like months. We need to bring back bundles for super legendaries as well

And the weekly Exchange still hasn't updated since 8pm EST on Sunday when they are supposed to. Reminder, this has been the No.3 Revolver and Light Tank skins since MAY 2ND.

Unfortunately looks like it will be the same skins for 3 weeks now. If they keep them unchanged for long enough we'll all have enough scraps for the Holiday Package.

Ah yes, the exchange did not update. Should have earlier this morning on Monday. Looks like week 3 with the NO.3 Revolver. 
No SMGs in a month or even shotguns people want.

Wonderful. 5 year old game that people are still dedicated towards playing and a lot of new players. This is sad, very sad.

Also...haven’t they been trying to fix this since last week? Like cmon. 

i wish after all that patience dice come back with reddit dagger or coupe coupe or some zodiacs or new maps etc...

i love battlefield 1 and would like the game to be more active. 

Welp, as of 5am CST, the exchange didn’t refresh. Please keep me updated if it did or did not

My thought process is this, how is it the "Community Managers" from EA/DICE have been aware that this has been a issue since May 2nd and not been resolved, yet inform us they are looking into the matter with ZERO feedback to the community for 3 WEEKS? However, when the Battlepack "glitch" or "Could Not Fetch Report" errors occur, they are quick to fix those. Recently, BF1 has gained popularity to their counterpart BFV since the "hype" for BATTLEFIELD teaser in June. I understand the in-game support for BF1 ended when BFV went live back in 2018, but come on, this issue hasn't been resolved for 3 weeks now. How is this conducive to customers when your game isn't functioning properly? It's frustrating when the developer (DICE) looses it's focus on their community to resolve QOL issues.

As a extent to mitigate this issue, why not enable ALL 750+ skins be purchasable via the Exchange instead of having a once a week "timer", working or not Exchange to flip the coin to see what we are offered? Suggestively, I would mirror the "Inventory" tab but the skins are purchasable. Is the reason why DICE would not make such a thing happen will lose money because players are not buying Battlepacks? No. Players will still be able to buy those Battlepacks for more Scraps so they can purchase more skins. Furthermore, how much with each skin cost? 2000 scraps for Legendary, or 270 scraps just as same as the scrap refund you obtain from scrapping a legendary skin? I highly doubt this would be considered since patch support for BF1 was ended in 2018, except resolving "major" issues that need to be addressed and some are perhaps no longer in the interest for DICE to fix, case in point, the Exchange system has been broke since May 2nd.

"Results, not excuses...."

Logged in and still the same old items in the Exchange.

Exchange has not been changed since 4-27-21 so 21 days now with the same items.

Please fix it EA!

Well everyone, it is 1:30pm Central Time (Chicago) and it has basically been confirmed that EA will not be updating the Exchange, despite stating that they will be fixing it....3 weeks ago. Am I surprised? No. But I am losing my encouragement to keep playing this game and waiting for skins I’d actually purchase. Maybe in week 4 we will get a new weapon in the exchange finally, and be the Kolibri...even though we haven’t had an SMG in like 12 weeks. I’m sorry if this seems like a passively toxic comment, but what’s even more toxic is the fact that it’s been THREE WEEKS!!!!

@MLG_HOCK219It can be frustrating when these bugs happen.

In fairness the battle pack bug took a month or two to fix and when they did fix that they also fixed the endless Blood and Sand Ops Rotation.

Got me thinking that the Exchange being stuck on the same skins coincides very closely with the aforementioned fixes. So maybe whoever fixed those bugs can now take another look at how the Exchange is rotated.

I think they will get it fixed as they've been on a tear fixing bugs recently.  We can bump this thread in the meantime to keep the issue front and center.

le bump!

@Straatford87hey brother,
i'm appreciate your efforts and EA/dice as well.
but it's around one week since you told me that "We're checking out why it didn't update. We'll let you know once it's good to go". but till now the issue still not solved yet.
we love bf1 and we need some help to revive the game.
brother even when they released bfv all the fans bought bfv as we thought it would be better than bf1. but to be honest bf1 still better and have a big base of players. we need to send this message to Dice "please EA/DICE revive bf1". 
thanks a lot Straaford & best wishes. 

@Mo3tazibrahim  Hello friends , i totaly agree with you guys. Im 150 rank player , i been waiting for some skins for almost 4 years. I have to wait for 10 years to get the skins and melee weapons that i want? That Jaqub dude prommised us last year that until the end of 2020 all the weapon skins  will be available on weekly rotation. Well it wasn,t the case. I asked many times how we could get the coupe coupe or the arditi dagger? Nothing!!!Some of the skins are rarer than the super rare skins. Some weapon skins never been in the scrap exchange, i been waiting since 2018, buyed alot of battlepacks, but they are not in the battlepacks. Im talking about the skin for the model 10 shotgun The Cleveland, for the mp18 Der Weimaraner, lewis gun The Golden Retriever,  M1897 shotgun The Washington,The Hutier (mp18), The Pegahmagabow (smle mkIII). These skins where never been on scrap exchange, im 100% sure because i been whatcing every week since 2018, when i missed them on the road to B5. Some skins are repeating for the 2 or 3 time in one year like the pistol skins or the skin for the M1917 Enfield. They think they are doing us a favor? We are doing them a favor by playing the game and buying their products, so we demand some respect for crying out loud!!! Three weeks with the same  skins , who's responsible?  I dont need your battlepack glitch, i been saving scarps for years to buy what i want. What about The Super Rare Edition Spectacular Battlepacks? What about the  Fedorov Degtyarev and other weapons that we dont have? We dont want them for free, let us buy them or a challange or something.
