Lackluster BattlePass Content (Season 1)

Season 1 has been out for almost 4 weeks now. I was curious to see if every Specialist and vehicle got at least one skin (hint: they did not).

So I broke down the entire BattlePass loot into categories for Season 1. If you have seen this breakdown, disregard, if not, take a gander:

18 - Weapon Skins

14 - Specialists Skins (3 Specialists got 2 skins)

12 - Vehicle Skins (9 vehicles got skins, 7 vehicles did not get unique skins, 1 got 2)

12 - Vehicle Decals

12 - Boins (1,200)

11 - Player Card Tags

10 - Player Card Backgrounds

6 - Weapon Charms

3 - Takedowns

2 - Weapons

2 - Aircraft

1 - Equipment (Smoke Grenade Launcher)

1 - Specialist

I am somewhat confused by the order as well. Was there any effort involved in determining what each BattlePass level would reward? Rao gets 2x skins 7 levels apart (14 and 21), Dozer gets 2x skins 4 levels apart (84 and 88). Why not swap one of Dozer's and Rao's so you get one early and one later? It feels like zero effort was put into this.

Here are the vehicles without skins this season, watch out for them in Season 2:

M1A5 KA-520
CONDOR WILDCAT
F-35 BOLTE YG-99

Do you know what would be a good idea? Release skins for the remaining weapons and vehicles (free) throughout the season as a reward for logging in. Good luck if that ever happens though.

    @Adamonic The charms can be used on any weapon. It's just displayed on the m5a3. Same for 3 skins. 2 of them being dead channel and midnight tundra can't pronounce the other (Archepeligeo or something, it's woodland colors)

    @Adamonic Tbh Battle Pass kinda lame, from 100 items there's like 20 worth to have.

    12 spots are wasted by coins, at least 10 are literally copy paste / same skins on guns and specialists, another 10 are default skins but with changed .png images.

    Don't get me started on vehicle decals, they removed custom player emblems for these meh decals.

    The K30 and AC-42 skins, and some specialists skins, some vehicle skins lookin' nice sure, but what's the point if they don't improve the game? 1 map per Season? no more Portal content??

    And I thought we will be getting at least 4~7 maps per Season, new content for Portal, 2~4 new vehicles, 5~10 new guns..

    Now what we got is same old bugs getting back into the game (no ADS bug), more mouse input issues, stuck in blown up transport helicopters, etc.

    I'm just as frustrated. I figured we would have heard something by now or gotten more stuff

    @GrizzGolf Now looking back at the roadmap, it's literally nothing. Nothingfield 2042.

    May

    • Removed 128 BT without communities feedbacks, added 64 BT.
    • Stops support on Hazard Mode. Btw, it was reported that it had 400 player's on the first week of the games release date, and DICE stopped reporting at that.

    June

    • Season 1 starts, with 1 day delay issues ofc.
    • Some players still receives the removed "Grin Reaper" skin by DICE's mistake. If they really supported Ukraine, then they should've remove completely that skin. I still manage to got it in weekly mission before it was removed.
    • Some balance / nerfs.
    • Bug fixes and old bug fixes returning.
    • Added reloading while vaulting animation improvements.

    July

    • ?

    August

    • 1 re-worked map Kaleidoscope, instead of 2 Renewal. 7~9 months for 1 fixed map.
    • ?

    If you call this "Live Service" game, by the "Powerhouse" DICE.. then I have no hopes left.

    I'm literally here helping community, playing the game daily, and all they do is bad PR talking. Instead of at least trying to fix old bugs being back in the game.

    So okay, DICE said all hands on Battlefield 2042, then why are we seeing Seattle's studio is already looking to hire people for single-player?

    I hate these tactics, make a bank on rushed game, don't listen to good community feedbacks and then go in silence mode, which btw works.

    But no, better to release new item bundles each week in store for 9$-17$..

    I'm getting mad each time DICE goes in silence mode, I'm sorry.

    Why even bother disqussing this matter, we cant even play the useless game atm ie... theres NO server to get into and play, just wind up in that endless waiting squad "QUAKE".

    This idiotic "legacy feature" to give us a USELESS matchmaking BS, when they instead could give us a USEFUL serverbrowser!... DICE ? HELLO!?

    @Wessmarc That's what I have been saying! we need actual changes! fixes! and community managers to start replying on these forums! Otherwise these forums are just meetup chat rooms.

    I still have no idea why they left reddits r/battlefield2042 sub, was it that toxic? or was it too much feedbacks to handle?

    Why would anybody care that official Battlefield 2042 accounts; EA / DICE, and dev's and CM's are tweeting something on Twitters? It would make much more sense to have community in one place, like on these EA Forums.

    Same goes for Discords, sure CM's are active there and tries to respond to every DM, but in my opinion that's just wasteful.

    @DedzigsI almost guarantee you that they have been directed not to engage with us. For legal purposes. Otherwise, what do they get paid for, to do nothing? If that is the case, are they hiring?
