Just read the patch notes for tomorrow's updates, I'm seriously impressed by how little the devs have managed to fix in this update. The last "update" made the net code worse and broke more than it fixed... and this update has just a few fixes, mostly concerning melee attacks.
Sorry devs, but this is pretty weak.
BTW... to anyone wondering, there is no mention of net code improvements. That's right, the last time they tried to fix it they bumbled badly and made it worse, now instead of at least reverting the changes, they have given up. Pathetic.
Wonder what this joke of an update will break?
yeah 8 things fixed? i was like none of these were issues i've seen wtf
Agreed I’ve seen the community provide and complain about hit reg, lag, rubber banding, etc and they are just nerfing the jets lol.
And still NO updates for Xbox Series X users - still crashing and unable to play. But hey - as long as EA took their £70 and pocketed it… 🧐
Based on how the game launched, the promises made to listen to the community... then the dumpster fire where they are currently at, its been an interesting implosion and probably a future case study in how to over promise and under deliver.
It does raise questions about where the problem lies, and whether the dev team is just not particularly gifted or if management has been pushing bad ideas on them.
It's a completely lackluster update. It's amazing they couldn't even work in a buff to 90% of the weapons that are just bad picks. They couldn't even add a little bit of work to stop exploiters, and still haven't added the disable crossplay button for PC.
All in all, I'm curious what they have spent all this time working on. I mean, maybe they've been putting in the grind to make season 2 NOT a dumpster fire like season 1. But then I see the skins in the game that are meant for season 2 and I think... Boy, they don't get it.
I'm afraid there are a combination of factors, there is a lack of clear direction of what game they want it to be... so they try to make it everything. Battle Royale, creation toolkit, 100 game modes, conquest... and eventually it does all those things badly.
Their focus is all over the place, and the talent just isn't there. So instead of trying to do a few things well, they do everything badly. This last update again breaks more than it fixes, and the things it fixes were non important stuff. Instead of focusing on real issues, its again just more noise, rather then actual progress.
I really don't know how it came to this, but across the board, from skins, net code, map design, balancing, it's all pretty poor. If all the base issues are going backwards, then focus, effort and the talent is just lacking. This is usually what happens when the accountants start telling creatives what to do. Talented people won't put up with it and compromise artistic integrity for the sake of loot boxes, and have probably all left over the years.
