By the time the first DLC was added to BF1, a couple maps had already been added to the game, including the 4 (or was it 5?) maps in the DLC. This was in the game's first 4 months. Yes we've had more weapons than that added to BFV than the several in the French dlc but it has been like 14-15 months.

    5 out of 7 Tides of War rewards (counting next week as well) has been Tier skips. Of course DICE has to protect their employees, but I still don't think it's an excuse for that lazy bullshit.

    As someone who works for a software company already and has been working from home for many years. Productivity will go up not down. They just dont realise it yet. I get way more work done working from home then i do in the office. In office i see people waste so much time chewing the fat with people metres away from their desk as do i when i go in. As a remote i tend to chat and work simultaneously at my desk.

  • @Akarichan375
    @Akarichan375 4 года назад +1

    Honestly despite some of dice's flaws, I think we have to give them some respect for the possible delay on content here. They are putting the members of their staff's health first instead of the game and for that I have a greater respect for them.

  • @MightyTitanCoCo
    @MightyTitanCoCo 4 года назад

    As a software dev thats worked from home many times for a very large company, I can tell you that working from home has almost no impact on speed or quality of work. Theres effectively no dependency on being in an office.
    Like most large companies Dice probably has a large central hub of lan servers that hold all the code, documents, and other assets that employees access through a vpn connection when not in the office. That means that once they log in to the vpn on their computer whereever they are, itll be as if they were in the office. The only real change will be converting in person meetings to phone/video meetings which are just as common. Ive seen a few people comment that they need specific hardware to do their jobs, but all the hardware that renders, compiles, and otherwise processes the content is again either a Dice owned server they remotely connect to, or a cloud computing solution like aws, google, or microsoft's solutions, theres 0 need for employees for tech companies to be in the office. Obviously individual employees might work better face to face, but at the same time I know many people who work more effectively from the quiet of their houses.
    Overall this probably wont cause more than a weeks delay for individual employees to get set up and used to not being in the office.

    Can we get a coronavirus limited time mode where everyone picks a building and sticks to themselves, except when you have to attack the stocks of toilet paper and bring them back to your building. Your main weapon is the "hand gun" and you use hand sanitizer instead of health pouches.

    What annoys me isn't the fact that it's slowing down...what annoys me is the fact that the slow down will be so little because compared to what they already have been doing there probably won't be much difference.

  • @postathehun6235
    @postathehun6235 4 года назад +1

    Safety is cool and all but they were already slow.
    Lot of players are already done with the Tow and after that you can only do the weekly challenges for 100 Boins. Don't tell me people that we "have enough" content. The devs can just honestly start working from home then. The teams don't even need to communicate to know what each of them is doing to the game, cause it was already something they could never done.

    While I agree that this is the best approach for Dice to protect their employees, I can't help but think that this really worked in their favor. Just look at the current Tides of War content and the lack of road map.
