DICE's silence

We expect a playable state game. Not broken beta. Why did the early access players become beta testers? Never again will I preorder as the game is already discounted. The fact you think it’s ok to not be fixed 2 months after launch is alarming. It should only need balance and few rare small bug tweaks. I now hope player never come back and they have to release the year one content for the bots. I wish this was a battlefield game and not a large map cod clone. You will realize soon that they won’t put resources on a dead product. That already seems to be the current state with player engagement. First year content does not release until March wtf 5 months after launch? 

This is the quality we should expect from a fiver development team lead by a candy crush leader who jumped ship for his next mistake. Whoever hired him needs held accountable. I can for see shareholder suits and a class action for players.  

@Chief2GFDSo you like to buy porsche without lights, no servo and no gas pedal huh ?

Sorry, the point first and foremost is that this game shouldnt have launched like this in the first place, people payed up to 100€/$ for this mess, believing they would have a good experience.

I dont get how they can sit so quiet while the numbers are dropping even faster

Not gonna lie, getting some serious Anthem-vibes ☹️

@TickTack121Who said the phone calls weren't from the 'marketing dudes' wanting an update?

You do realize that this could be solved with a 1 hour meeting midweek, where they discuss the latest news. So Developers / Game-Designers just tell the marketing dudes, what they are allowed to post and what the future plans are. Marketing can do independent stuff from there, no further "phone calls" needed.

Problem would be solved, people would be a bit more happy and i bet Dice has some similar meetings. Yet they decide to post only unnecessary stuff like "Who to play Conquest". Things they should have released pre-launch or close to the launch.

If my company would treat their customers / communicate with them the same way Dice does, we would have no customers. Instead of a "Dear Customer, we are very sorry for your problems ... our Dev-Team is working on it ... we are currently doing ..." we got a "Dear Customer, you suck, it is all your fault".

The best example is season 1. Not only is it probably to late for that, we don't even know what we will get for our money. It is >>3 months<< after launch right now and they didn't post anything about season 1. What is so hard to just post a monthly roadmap? I don't get it. Really embarassing, that you are defending such incompetence as an adult.

Edit: The only thing they need to do right now would be a post like: "Community, we are hearing your critics! We thought, that those changes were good, but we will evaluate, how to change that game. We are aware of the performance issues and bugs. Our devs are doing their best to fix them, please keep reporting bugs! We are also aware of the dying playerbase and we will take action and do our best, to stop that trend......". Yet they are not even able to post a meaningless random post like that.

The game is dead and should stay dead. Dice deserves nothing better than being utterly ashamed of themselves for releasing this broken cringy offspring of Fortnite and World of Tanks. 

@machviper Did Dice/EA say it was going to be March? 

I think you're the one that needs to rephrase. No one at this point is looking for dice to fix it. Fixing it now would mean having a time machine. I wanted past tense it to be correct. Now the only option is to refund people their money cuz what they did was wrong. And enabling companies to feel like they can do any amount of backtracking and promises for patches that obviously won't do anything in the years and months to come. Is going to become the new business model for how we handle gaming. Have you never heard of the book? The Play the movie titled The producers where you purposely make a flop to get this kind of reaction. We want our money back and we want it back now. And more importantly I feel like Microsoft needs to be pinned to the wall cuz anyone in here suggesting they're not getting a refund clearly like myself got it through Xbox. Burn that mother to the ground
