"A Begining" Dog Tag - Easter Egg - Did Not Receive - BF1 - PS4 - Fixed - Solved

I had spent 9 hours going map to map picking up head phones, decrypting secret messages, and finding small symbols. I got to stage nine in the Easter egg  listened to the mores code play. Enter the Giants Shadow map climbed up the closest windmill on the German spawn side. I waited atop the windmill for two minutes, then here comes the pigeon and the sound of the achievement. I then waited a moment and left the map, I brought up my dog tags and the "A Beginning" was not there. I had contacted EA Support to be told to contact back later so a specialist could help me with my problem. After some time had passed I had contacted EA Support once again to be told they could do nothing about it. I was told to post my problem here so that maybe the studio team could see this and help fix the problem. I being one who enjoys the Battle Filed Easter eggs, I have completed the Phantom Missions and Dice LA camo Easter Eggs in BF4. So I am hoping this issue can be resolved so I don't have to watch others going future in this new set of Easter Eggs and I can only watch due to an error in the game.

  • Okay guys I found my problem. I went back to an Amiens map found the headphones saw the telegraph was still cyan meaning the achievement has not registered yet. I then loaded up Giants Shadow map spawned in on the German side, at this point I looked around and noticed there is a windmill behind you when you spawn. I had originally went to the first windmill I saw which was the first one right after the first field. So obviously error on my part. Make sure you look for the windmill right behind you when you spawn on German spawn point. Second of all another post where Lazathelobster was having a problem with Getting the dog tag, his solution was to shoot the pigeon when it was coming at you. Here is a Link to that post. http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Easter-Egg-Dog-Tag-Did-not-receive-dog-tag/m-p/5891148#U5891148

    Tried a few times in each windmill to get this tag, no luck. The last time I tried I shot that filthy thief right in his beak. I now have a shiny new dog tag. I was in the windmill overlooking the river. Hope this helps.

    Spent way too many hours on this, kinda pissed, but it finally showed up when I went to the phone app and looked at the dog tags there. Equipped it, then it showed up in game. Hope this helps someone. I tried so many times doing it over and over and over again fml.
  • If you have problems with the new step in decrypting the next step sometimes I had to back to previous sysbols an decipher again. I think the process was a little buggy but I was able to manage to fix it and get the dog tag
  • I spent quite a few hours one weekend doing it (bad connection to populated servers, great connection to empty servers) so I decided to unlock it all. 

    I got to the 8th stage and had plane sounds overhead that ruined my morse code.

    I went back to the symbol and looked at it again, and re did the morse code without noise.

    When I finally went to Giants Shadow, there were NO empty servers so I went to the proper windmill... waited... a pigeon flew close.. but it didn't register the dog tag.

    All in all, I had to wait something like 5 minutes during the battle (looking up, picking off the odd enemy from the Zeppelin area, hahahah, while they all took pot shots at me.

    In the end, the pigeon finally flew to me and gave me the dog tag!

    FOr some, it takes longer than others.

    Hope the new challenges will be  different! Glad you guys worked yours out

  • I attempted to do this too and it worked, but when i checked it didn't do anything, no dogtag

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
