What precisely is the "Player Council" mentioned on the Technical Playtest page? Is it related to the Game Changers Program?More importantly, what does the selection process look like?

@WindowsManTv_CZE Well that sux for everyone else that isnt a youtube diva then?Infact all that is going to do is let these game changers give the devs a bunch of utter rubbish idea's and feedback that all suits how they like to play and screw the rest.

@CyberDyme yet not many will be granted the title of "Master Gamer"...sorry, can't let go of the Star Wars vibe in the title.EA/DICE took a beating from nearly every direction with the last two "experiments" in the direction of the franchise.The massive popularity of BF4 following the trailer is a testament to which path leads to more money. I'm confident in a rocky launch, simply because ALL OF US are embarking into the relatively unknown, new consoles, new class set ups, 128 players. The countless incoming threads by myself and others here and not yet joined complaining about this, that, and the other., But I'm also confident in a solid, fun game once we collectively iron out the teething issues.see you on the Battlefield, cheers.

Sounds like either existing EA Game changers or content creators that get to play the game and tell everyone how it is. They said it would include veterans but I haven't seen veterans valued since BF3. Doubt it actually has anything to do with being a veteran to the franchise.

They say veterans but what they really mean is you have to have a million followers on YouTube or twitch. Real veterans of the game probably won't be selected.

@Flare_dE Lol. Made think of " Jedi Council"We all know how that worked out.

Yeah, after reviewing that... it is likely to include Game Changers as @Papzotic said. Having been in some of the recent closed Alpha / Beta tests for BF1 and BFV, it is also likely to be phased and gradually opened up to more and more people. I was usually a mid- to late-phase tester in those situations. So, there is hope that you could be included in those playtests, but I suspect only EA DICE and perhaps Game Changers know anything currently.

@Flare_dE Hey my feeling is that it is like a selection of specific people who have known to be playing with a lot of experience, say like JackFrags or youtubers/ creators/ ex pro players and all that, that play "A LOT" and they would represent the players side (all of us who will be playing/ customers ) voice. Like a board of directors I guess but for the players side ( like how does this feel that feel, is this OP or is that lacking )
I kinda only assume they have a list of go to people (players with A LOT of experience/ play time in the franchise ) outside of their company.

Is just my guess if that makes any sense.

I've been playing since battlefield 1942 and have more hours in the series than anybody else, so I'm expecting an invitation email. 😉

Hello @Flare_dE

Only people from EA Community Program (EA Game Changers) will be invited into BATTLEFIELD 2042 PlayTest.

EA can't invite people from public as the PlayTest is under NDA and people would break the NDA just because they want to try BATTLEFIELD 2042 so EA is carefull about it. 🙂

I'm sure DICE will take feedback carefully. And there will be an Open Beta test in which everyone will be able to participate and share their feedback with devs.
