Season Replay

I don't believe relegating 2042 to a maintenance mode is good for the franchise. In fact, by not making new content or updates and legit support, you're telling players (customers) that the content, features and support have a clock on them. The idea is newly release content after launch and the rewards of seasons and modes being unavailable when they end is to drive player numbers for fear of missing out. I get that. I would argue players deserve to play on their time after spending the same amount of money on a game someone with twice the time and frequency to play. Therefore, I feel its only right all who purchase the game, for full launch price or $7 (the price 2 weeks after my full purchase), have a right to earn the same rewards for the game as all the seasons we never got to play.

 I want the player cards, the skins, the tags and all the rest. When I bought the game my ISP was awful and online play was hardly an option. I could play solo/co-op with some issues but minimal compared to official servers and modes. Not only can we not claim any of the content others were able to receive under better circumstances or just time to actually play, but everything in the store is all the same price as it has always been which is a bit strange considering the value now without the seasons, without the promise of new content, without the game support, and without the player numbers or the cost of the game never going over 25% of the release price. 

I strongly feel if devs can give us FNB and weekend and weekly modes aside from the standards, a replay of all the seasons is warranted. 2042 still has a loyal base of players, many of which have played 6 and aren't fans. 6 feels like all our wants and desires were mostly ignored or the loudest and smallest group got what they wanted but that's another topic. How hard would it be to replay and cycle the seasons of 2042 for all the content be really? It can't hurt player numbers in 6, in fact it only helps. Not in real time as the seasons but in player enthusiasm towards the franchise. I cannot purchase or play BF6 knowing the game will eventually go to maintenance mode and have little to no support or new content. Using 2042 as a platform to test enthusiasm would be one of the smartest moves EA/Dice could make after restructuring of its teams. 

Lets start BF2042 season 1 before May please.

    I appreciate that. Really. Some missed out on so much just cause of timing. We bought the game.  We deserve all it offers.

    That still a thing? 

    errors upon errors in BF6 lately to which I’ve replied to the battlefield comms twitter the should show some love to 2042. No responses. It cannot be that difficult in any universe to replay the seasons. It cannot be that difficult to resolve errors in game that span the games existence. It cannot be that difficult to give us what we paid for. Customers used to get finished products at release before downloaded games. A no campaign game yet with an extremely intriguing story via the codex, deserves to real attention. 

    I refuse to pay more than 25% the original cost of bf6 until more is done for 2042. Devs on twitter all day talking about portal/servers and season 3, not a mention of 2042 since WELL before Bf6 release. I find it hard to believe a massive gaming corporation like EA can’t use previous titles as an on the job training tool for interns/devs with minimal experience. It is clear the industry needs a clear bottom up training/progression system. Gone are the days basement coders turned devs for major company overnight meet the finished product at release needs. If Concept to Release pace is what it’s going to be then post release must be heavily staffed. Especially if you’re gonna use the community to test the game pre release entirely for free. 

    Main point is it’s not the devs of various studios that should’ve seen layoffs under EA lately. It’s management. It’s corporate staff. It’s the pro-shareholder mindset. The people who do not give a **bleep** about the customer, just the margins. Do more. The bf6 issues plus the never ending 2042 issues has us all ready to jump ship.
