A couple of weeks until specialists are addressed? You realise you'll probably have lost another 1000+ players by then?
Specialists should have been top priority. They need to go. This game, and the decisions being made for it, are just so baffling.
You guys were given a tonne of feedback before the game even launched but didn't listen. And now you're saying "we're listening". Sorry guys, but you done goofed and it will be a miracle if this game ever manages to claw back a playerbase. You can't blame Reddit anymore.

The game was built around specialists and they already said they are here to stay so it makes sense they weren't part of any current changes.
Changing flag positions and how vehicles work all tie in to on-foot traversial QoL; there is also more cover so I don't see why it is such a big deal.

@TTZ_Dipsy*The monetization plan was built around specialists*....the changes they are making do nothing to address any differences between a "class-based" soldier and the specialist.

This is one of my big concerns. They seem to be holding on to he Sunk-cost Fallacy in that they have invested so much time and money into specialists that they don't want to change course. If they abandon Specialists it impacts all of their plans for related skins and other cosmetics, or they have to spend more money to convert them all in some way.
At this point the community is so disappointed that asking people to spend MORE money just doesn't seem appropriate. It would get tremendous backlash to say the least.
- Daeyon-be3 years agoSeasoned Ace@TTZ_Dipsy They did say that, yes. I was just hoping someone who actually played a BF game and had experience would be working at Dice and say "we should get rid of them. ASAP."
I'll put it in EA-terms. More players = more money. Most players did not want specialists, they want regular soldiers and no dumb one liners. No specialists = more players will probably come back = more money.
And technically, the specialists were built for the original BR/Hazard zone idea they had for the game and we all saw how that worked out lol- G-Recons3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Daeyon-be That's Level 1 Marketing and they still don't get it, so funny thar EA is really lacking Level 1 Marketing.

I fail to see how lowering the vehicles is a valid solution. 90% of the players in a round carry shoulder fired rockets. 3 of the 6 ground vehicles you can literally be shot out of with a hand gun.
Its just plain stupid level design. no hard cover. just sandbags and trash. If i wanted a foot soldier only round I would play cod or infantry only.. oh wait..
