    I'm not EA/DICE employee but I'm sure that Dev Team is aware that players are not happy about this lack of communication. 🙂

    I wish we could believe this...but given that they seem to not have "gotten" the message so far I'm not optimistic they actually "get it". Because we're still facing walls of silence. Maybe one of the CM's can find some time for a quick blog post explaining the reduction in communication with some context so that the community sentiment isn't, "DICE feels like they've abandoned the game/community...again."

    @edgecrusherO0 Unless the devs are oblivious I am sure they get that the players are not happy loud and clear. But of course, you lot wouldn't believe that otherwise what would you have to post about daily.

    @CantGetRight Again, y'all can keep saying this, but we see no actual evidence of this.

    Communications have not improved, they're arguably getting worse in terms of cadence and them being remotely meaningful. The updates aren't coming any faster so far. We still have no news about the future of the game compared to what we knew in February.

    I'm sure developers individually may know this, but clearly this message isn't filtering up to leadership as the games reputation remains in the dumps and there have been no meaningful efforts to turn sentiment around.

    I get it, "Just wait until S1 and we'll do all our big marketing push then" but that's still too far off, if it even meets the "early summer" target (which is unlikely given that DICE are still routinely failing to meet their own deadlines for communications and updates).

    But that's risky as well, just look at how FO76's terrible reputation continues to plague it to this day, 4 years later, despite the game having improved leaps and bounds in that time and being a solid game now.

    I mean, this is the team that shipped a game missing core features and in a deeply broken state right before the holidays despite, according to reports, apparently thinking the game was in a better state at launch than previous titles in terms of bugs. So like...yeah, the confidence that "they get it" in the absence of them showing "they get it" ain't there, at least for me.

    @edgecrusherO0 So frustrating. In the business world, I respond to all e-mails within 24 hours to at LEAST let the person know that I have received it and am taking a look.

    @r_christman1286 I mean, that level of communication is definitely unreasonable for a CM and a game like this, even with the small population it has now. I'm sure those kinds of requirements exist for internal communications etc. as they should, but no CM should have those kinds of expectations for engagement with the community.

    That's not the issue. They'd have to be deaf and blind to not know that.

    What is the actual issue is the question, do they care? Does Dice give a flying ferret that players are unhappy, or do they think that unhappy players are not worth appeasing? Does the studied silence stem from a great disrespect of the player base, or just terrible communication strategy? 

    At any point is anyone in Dice saying, maybe we should rethink a communication strategy that just continually annoys people?

    @r_christman1286 and respond additionally that you are working on this one. If something is broken - within 20 min and then every hour until it is fixed.
