We have active confirmation and discussion in the form of the known bugs list and the BattlefieldComms Twitter although, yes, they could still do better.
The sheer volume of data and feedback they recieve is staggering to say the least but trust me when I say they are listening -- They quite often agree with the majority of players, we just all need to work together
communication should be a two way street. i don't consider a tweet once a week communication. we should have a roadmap by now with the understanding that things can change on it
@Psubond
If they went back to Premium we would probably have the roadmap you're looking for but this live service model will always be "**subject to change". By delaying S1 again they have effectively erased the ability to guarantee any timeline for content outside of weekly challenges (these are done months in advance).
Obviously there is room for improvement, I just think they have backed themselves into a corner at the moment - once they get over this first hurdle, we should in theory see a more dedicated timeline + roadmap
- @TTZ_Dipsy The model doesn't impact roadmaps in the slightest, there's no difference if DLC would be paid or free. And we're not even talking a content roadmap, which is what DLC is for, many of us are talking a roadmap for the next 3 months where DICE is focusing on addressing core issues within the game.
If they're nearly 2 full months into the year and don't have a plan for the next 3 months of work so they can hit their "early summer" target for S1, they're further behind and the game is in a rougher state than we thought. - @TTZ_Dipsy i would pay for a premium pass to avoid this *. i already paid an extra 40 bucks for year 1...

And most importantly we knew what would be in each DLC in advance. !
- @RayD_O1 That's down to DICE back then knowing what they were doing and having good leadership and has nothing to do with how they fund ongoing development.
This is a very difference DICE than the DICE that launched BF4.
