Important Feedback I Feel is Overlooked - EA please read

The Important Stuff:

  • When with an in-game party, the chat needs to default to squad chat, not party chat. If you gain additional squad-mates, they cannot talk to you. Trying to switch from party chat to squad chat is confusing, glitchy, and resets every time you start a new search! Not many people know about this.
  • Remove the "headphone" audio setting. It is mono. Nobody needs that and it is misleading!
  • BUSHES need to reduce efficacy of spotting distance similarly to smoke. If a player is shooting while concealed in a bush and without a flash hider, a red indicator shows everybody where to shoot their face just as if they were standing in an empty parking lot! Bushes need to act similarly to smoke, but with this proposition: each bush between line of sight will subtract from the maximum auto-spot distance dramatically. Example: No bush <=75m. One bush <= 25m. Two bushes <= 10m. If a player is in a bush it should also reduce the time that player is spotted for (might already do this, haven't checked).
  • It would be really nice to be able to implement HOLD button bindings for anything on console. This would effectively double our freedom of binds.
  • When switching from equipment the gun switched to should be the same gun held previously, not the first slot gun.

 

Moderately Important Stuff:

  • On console we can't reload vehicles manually. I presume this can be done on pc.
  • All described requirements for unlocks should remain after the item is unlocked. I have no idea how I got some things and I want to feel accomplished.
  • All badges earned in a match should be viewable in the summary. I want to feel accomplished.
  • On Xbox, the Quick Resume feature isn't supported as it doesn't function correctly.
  • The exit vehicle/reload button binding says "hold" to exit, but that isn't how it works.
  • The targets in the shooting range often don't come back up.
  • Allow using ALL weapons in the shooting range. Secondaries, launchers, and grenades.
  • Implement a free-look button while maintaining direction while diving as the leader in Battle Royale.
  • Reload cancel on shotguns needs to be faster and more consistent.
  • Improve the flame shotgun or just delete it. Selling us skins for the thing is an insult.
  • Downsizing magazines on weapons should not cost nearly as much attachment points as they do.
  • Relying on thermal vision of various types seems like a silly way to be strategic in Battle Royale. Not sure how I feel about this.

Additionally, I will say the default controller sensitivity settings is really not good. I spent so long finding a certain configuration that I feel it's proprietary - it's not known by any of the top settings videos on youtube.

  • Good feedback! I agree with all of this, anything to make the experience of existing in the game better is what I'm wishing for in the near future.

    To add to this.

    I am a big proponent of having the Spotting and Pinging buttons be two seperate binding options, I feel this is way past due its inclusion.
    Letting us choose which specific weapon settings are kept on redeploy. (Fire mode, laser/light setting, zoom level, etc. Having firemode be remembered but laser setting forgotten is strange.)
    Having a recoil and reticle bloom playback example in the customization menu while fiddling with weapon attachments. (In the vein of Helldivers 2.)
    Have a detailed explanation of what each weapon stat and actually does, what those symbols mean, etc.
    The option to skip "Keep squad" option on match ending to start queuing sooner.
    The option to pick a crosshair that doesn't magnetize to where the game assumes I want to redeploy. 

    Also, yes, PC players can reload manually. I'm shocked console players can't with how much of the game was so clearly leaning towards console players.

    Thanks for agreeing, and also for your contribution. You made some really good points!

    Your spotting/pinging idea reminded me that there's also the problem of not being able to spot or ping enemies (or things) behind landmarks like redeploy towers, because it clings to the landmark/redeploy tower. Even if you are aiming well beside it.
