Dice Rolls Back Battlefield V’s Recent Time To Kill Update

Battlefield V continues to catch flak as Dice has rolled back on their initial ‘Time to Kill’ adjustment issued only less than a week ago. The recent update was supposed to provide newer Battlefield players an edge by increasing the amount of damage needed before meeting their end.

However, the update was not received well by the veteran Battlefield player base, and they let Dice know about it.

In a letter to the community on Reddit, the developers of Battlefield V acknowledged the bitter reception of the update that lengthened the time to kill (TTK) when playing online. They claim that the update was in part of a decision that they’d hoped would allow amateur players to feel more comfortable sticking with the Battlefield experience, as they’ve stated it’s become “a challenge bringing new players into Battlefield V”.

The update that appeared last week allowed players to take more damage allowing new players to die off less frequently, in turn keeping both new and old Battlefield players engaged in the experience for longer. This move backfired quickly, creating a backlash from the veteran community — who never asked for the update in the first place.

“Clearly we didn’t get it right. Veteran players didn’t ask for the change, but as game developers, we took it upon ourselves to make those changes based on extensive data and deliberation. It truthfully wasn’t an easy decision for us.” – The Battlefield Team

Battlefield V has recently been under fire for it’s rather obtuse launch schedule where a flurry of game modes and updates (including their own take on battle royale mode) known as the Tides of War will be rolled out within the coming months after the initial release date. The game will consistently received new features added to the experience at no additional cost to the player, but the unorthodox approach to releasing the full game has been leaving much of the community with a bitter taste in their mouth.

Battlefield V is available now for the PS4, Xbox One and PC — while the upcoming battle royal mode, Firestorm, isn’t set to arrive until March, 2019.

After a long wait, it appears that the search for a capable Hollywood actor to bring the brooding Shadow the Hedgehog to life has come to an end. Keanu Reeves, a renowned actor known for his iconic roles in film franchises such as The Matrix and John Wick, as well as his involvement in the highly anticipated game Cyberpunk 2077, has officially been cast for the role.

Speculation has been running wild lately, but The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed the casting, citing reliable sources in the know. News of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 being showcased at Cinemacon has quickly spread. Reeves is sure to bring his own special touch to the role, but it’s uncertain how well he will mesh with the mustachioed Dr. Robotnik, as Jim Carrey is set to reprise the character.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Retry Wording Has Been Updated in a Subtle Manner

Despite the numerous praises players have showered upon Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there is one particular aspect of the game that has garnered nothing but criticism: the perplexing wording of its retry screen, which players encounter when facing a Game Over. Fortunately, the developers have discreetly resolved this issue in the game’s latest patch. They have fixed the Platinum Trophy progression, resulting in a slightly less confusing experience for players.

If you don’t possess exceptional combat abilities, chances are you’ve come across the game’s notorious four options: “Retry from Current Battle, Retry from This Battle, Retry from Before Battle, or Resume.”. As an avid gamer, I must admit that I’ve experienced the frustration of losing precious time due to my own foolish mistake. In this particular instance, I found myself engrossed in fine-tuning my matrix and equipping my party, only to have it all go to waste when I encountered a formidable enemy. To compound my error, I made the ill-advised decision to retry the battle, resulting in an hour of agonizing repetition. Lesson learned!

The “Retry from This Battle” option has become a source of frustration for players who are struggling with the game’s final boss encounter, leading to a significant number of rage-quits. Without giving away any surprises, opting for that choice after being defeated would result in players being sent back to the beginning of the final boss encounter, needlessly forcing them to forfeit approximately an hour’s worth of hard-earned progress in battle.

After the update, players now have the option to select “Retry from the Current Phase” instead of “Retry from Before the Current Battle.”. It’s worth noting that this change is only slightly improved. It’s rather disappointing that the screen is overly convoluted, which may lead to players feeling frustrated. While it’s better late than never, we can’t help but wonder if this issue will persist in the future.
