Battlefieldo.com - Blackout Battlefield

Discussion in 'News & Updates' started by PR3SIDENT, Today at 2:38 PM.

It may come to this...



The real issue with Battlefield 3 isn’t the game itself believe it or not. The great thing about a game is it can be patched, fixed, corrected and enhanced where needed… and whose job is that you wonder? DICE, the game developer and the people who should be running the Battlefield community, not some marketing/publisher powerhouse with nothing but dollar signs and stock projections in mind… why am I talking about this you may ask? It’s because the loyal, dedicated, veterans of this game know and understand that DICE is working their ass off to fix the game, and the issues we demand, but Electronic Arts worried about nothing but money. This community has been neglected since the launch of the game in October. No information on patches until release date, and no communication at all from the studio and developers on issues.

As a longtime battlefield player, community manager, and a person who knows what is going on with this community on a daily basis, I’m frustrated, you’re frustrated… Shouldn’t we expect better? At least acknowledge the existence of the issues we present, and have a very long list of things to work on. Yet... we know none of this information have that communication now do we? You wonder why I assume of course, why is it that the studio who developed the game, cannot communicate with the followers, fans, and community that the very game they built? The answer of course is Electronic Arts… We can’t get information, or even acknowledgement about the issues we raise, patching schedules, game updates, or even hints at Downloadable content. Electronic Arts is too concerned with releasing information based on their precious yet inaccurate numbers that calculate the best times to release game updates and DLC. Not the community, not you, and certainly not me.

DICE after all, is owned by EA… this isn’t all EA’s fault to be honest; some of the blame lies with DICE as well. Obviously there are some issues that are currently in the game that exist as problems because of the failure to QA said problems. (USAS-12, MAV Elevators, etc…) We can assume that a lot of these instances with weapons being so severely unbalanced and blatant issues with map glitches such as the MAV situation are because of the rush to push the game out to compete with Modern Warfare 3. Nevertheless, we’re kept in the dark with no patch schedule, no details, and not even direct responses from DICE, at all.

So… this is what we’re going to do… as a community. We’re going to give Electronic Arts until Friday, March 2nd to announce the next major patch and the fixes that they have made, or are currently making. SOME acknowledgement of the outcry about the issues that is currently wrong with the game right now, today… Or we’re going to black out the entire battlefield community for 1 day, 24 hours, no playing, no posting, and no tweeting. Silence fed right back into the mouths of those who have chosen to give us the very same silence. We’ll be waiting for you to give us our community back EA, and put it in the very capable hands of the people who developed, and made the game. Please, we beg you, allow us to communicate, get information, and answers from the game developers, not bullshit responses on twitter from @Battlefield telling them to contact a game advisor.

We’d just like to also clarify that we love and appreciate all the DICE developers, and enjoy very much interacting with them, sharing ideas and planning events with them. However, we are a community site, and we carry the voice and speak for the community, right now, the community needs your attention, communication, and a little more transparency as to what’s going on with the game.

Stay updated here, and across all our sites for motivation and movement to Black Out the entire Battlefield community should it come to that… Follow the @dontrevivemebro and @Battlefieldo twitters for more information on the #BF3Blackout , should it come to this… hopefully it does not.

PR3SIDENT, Today at 2:38 PM #1
==================================================

More info...Mp1st.com - Battlefield 3 Community Initiates #BF3Blackout Movement

Quote:
David VeselkaFebruary 22, 2012Battlefield, Battlefield 3, News

Communication is key to building a strong community, especially when millions of players are involved. Battlefield/Digital Illusions CE has one of the most dedicated following in the FPS genre – rightly earned thanks to their support for those who love playing their games.

Battlefield 3, one of DICE’s/EA’s most important launches ever, has been out on shelves for almost 5 months now. While it wasn’t graced with the smoothest launch ever, things are slowly but surely looking up. Unfortunately, despite the amount of work we know DICE is putting into Battlefield 3 – polishing and ridding it of bugs and and other annoyances, frustration is rapidly building within the community and is caused by that key strength DICE once possessed: Communication, or the lack thereof.

While many factors could possibly be contributing to this decay, be it EA’s rigidity of release date announcements or unwillingness to allow open dialogue between players and developers, one thing is for sure: The Battlefield 3 community has been kept in the dark for too long. While we’re not asking for a patch or DLC right this very instant, a little bit of transparency can go a long way.

Earlier today, community website, Battlefieldo, who recently merged with community podcast, Don’t Revive Me Bro, have taken the first steps in a plan to show EA that the Battlefield community is no longer willing to accept these standards of communication. Cory “Pr3esident” Niblett says it best in a recent article: “As a longtime battlefield player, community manager, and a person who knows what is going on with this community on a daily basis, I’m frustrated, you’re frustrated… Shouldn’t we expect better? At least acknowledge the existence of the issues we present, and have a very long list of things to work on.” He added, “we’re kept in the dark with no patch schedule, no details, and not even direct responses from DICE, at all.”

So, what exactly is going to be done about it? Cory explains, “So… this is what we’re going to do… as a community. We’re going to give Electronic Arts until Friday, March 2nd to announce the next major patch and the fixes that they have made, or are currently making. SOME acknowledgement of the outcry about the issues that is currently wrong with the game right now, today… Or we’re going to black out the entire battlefield community for 1 day, 24 hours, no playing, no posting, and no tweeting. Silence fed right back into the mouths of those who have chosen to give us the very same silence. We’ll be waiting for you to give us our community back EA, and put it in the very capable hands of the people who developed, and made the game.”

Battlefield 3 Community Manager, Daniel Matros, has officially responded, sympathizing with the Battlefield community: “I completely understand the motives behind it.” He continued, “I support the BF community in any way I can and if you express your opinions like this, I must understand it.” Gameplay Designer, Tim Kjiell rightfully added, “Staying in touch with community and having a transparent workflow is key to the lifetime of a game. I understand and agree. Will do what I can to push for more direct comm.”

So, if you love Battlefield 3 and DICE, join the movement and show your support for #BF3Blackout on Twitter. We know MP1st will!

I have to agree. The community is what keeps a game/series alive. I'm getting extremely tired of the MAV riding horseshit. Sure its fun to try it out to see where you can go, but those asshats that put themselves up on the tall buildings in Karkand on Squad DM make me want to throw my PC out the window sometimes.... I'm onboard. We need patches, release notes, and some acknowledgement of the issues that have been found.

What comment are you looking for? Hyperthreading looks cooler with 12 threads?

Yeah I got to shoot one off his Mav tonight on Karg Island. It was sweet.
Finally got the stuff I was working on all weekend tonight.

Yes it does look better with 12 but I think it plays better without HT.

Given the comments earlier I assumed that BF3 wouldn't scale to 6 cores or more. I went from 80% load on 4 on my 920 at 3.8Ghz to ~40% on 6 at stock clocks on the 970. To me that would seem like an improvement.

No, they made him black (e.g. his arms as well in 1st person view).

Ah I thought you were talking about the SPECACT kit you can buy off of Origin. When I bought mine the assault guy was still black. I thought they fixed that.

Most of these tweaks look good, but I question a few of the air vehicle tweaks.
Guess if a flew I wouldn't, but any advantage they get is a dis-advantage for me

Battlefieldo.com - Blackout Update: We Spoke, They Listened

Quote:
in 'News & Updates' started by PR3SIDENT, Today at 11:58 AM.

.PR3SIDENT Managing Director Battlelog/Origin ID:BFO-

Our post yesterday calling for an increase in transparency and open communication between the Battlefield developers at DICE and the BF3 community at large has received widespread support throughout the community and thanks in part to coverage from sites such as Eurogamer, MP1st, PCGames.de and others, the people at EA have listened and responded! We also received support from several DICE developers themselves who sent words of support and encouragement on Twitter, including Elxx, zh1nt0, and stormonster.

This morning, lead Battlefield community manager Daniel "zh1nt0" Matros posted a partial (but nevertheless extensive) list of changes for the upcoming patch, including bugfixes, tweaks, and gameplay balancing changes. On top of that, Eurogamer announced today that EA has informed them of plans to launch a weekly blog feature on the Battlefield Blog called "Inside DICE" which they say "will debut next week and is a way for us to update you, our fans, with all the latest news, content plans, updates and upgrades we have planned for Battlefield 3." This is obviously a direct response to the groundswell of support and community outcry that commenced after our BF3 Blackout post yesterday.

So pat yourselves on the back everyone! This is the kind of positive change that can be made if gamers take a respectful and mature attitude towards voicing their concerns and needs. We spoke, and EA has listened and responded directly with two measures meant to mollify our concerns and address the issues of communication that we raised as a community. Thanks to everybody who showed their support and to all of the gaming press outlets and community sites who helped us spread our plea for communication.

Of course, while this is all a great step and an unexpectedly prompt response from the folks at EA, we need to emphasize that it needs to be the beginning of increased communication, not just a band-aid for the problems at hand - they have thrown us a bone, and it's delicious, but we need to make sure they know that a one-time solution like this won't fix the problem. To extend the metaphor, we don't just want a bone now and then - we want our doghouse renovated! This is a great move on EA's behalf to show that they are willing to listen to and address the concerns of the Battlefield community, but nevertheless they need to commit to a permanent increase in the level of communication and transparency between the devs at DICE and the BF3 community.
