- Submit 17/10 14:00 <DarkLord7854> loadout presets in game? not really
- Submit 17/10 14:01 <DarkLord7854> requires a large fundamental change in how loadout data is saved
- Submit 17/10 13:59 <Onslaught> Will the commander be a non spawning player?

- Submit 17/10 14:28 <Cheshire cat> Oh yeah I've been meaning to ask, is there a way to change uncaps to cappable? and if so, would we be able to keep it ranked?
- Submit 17/10 14:29 <DarkLord7854> you can't cap uncaps as in every BF game
- Submit 17/10 14:30 <Cheshire cat> I meant, will we be able to turn them into capable bases? ala Bad company 1 and IIRC 2142 conquest assault
- Submit 17/10 14:25 <woess> how many weapons in bf4 ?
- Submit 17/10 14:25 <DarkLord7854> many

- Submit 17/10 14:26 <Cheshire cat> HOLY SHIT
- Submit 17/10 14:26 <Cheshire cat> 5?!
- Submit 17/10 14:26 <Cheshire cat> You sure that's not a typo?
- Submit 17/10 14:26 <woess> i hoped 5 is max... dissapointed
- Submit 17/10 14:26 <Cheshire cat> I thought Battlefield 3 had a lot with 4!
- Submit 17/10 14:27 <Onslaught> I call it Battlefield 3.4
- Submit 17/10 14:27 <DarkLord7854> 3.5* now

- Submit 17/10 14:41 <majnu> @darklord I never had chance to test in Beta but on Pc can you create a group and use voice chat whilst in battlelog (similar to microsoft party chat)
- Submit 17/10 14:43 <DarkLord7854> no, we removed voice chat in BL
- Submit 17/10 14:59 <DarkLord7854> it took us 240 employees to make BF4 in 2 years
- Submit 17/10 15:00 <DarkLord7854> and that's not counting management/marketing/etc
- Submit 17/10 15:01 <DarkLord7854> at it's peak, we had ~200 devs/artists/designers
- Submit 17/10 15:02 <woess> whats actually is the new dice studio in the us ? what are they doing there dlcs ?

- Submit 17/10 15:08 <AdrIneX> how do you progress?
- Submit 17/10 15:08 <AdrIneX> do you just earn XP and your rank goes up?
- Submit 17/10 15:08 <AdrIneX> or is it different this time around?
- Submit 17/10 15:09 <DarkLord7854> you need to buy ranks with $$, duh
- Submit 17/10 15:09 <DarkLord7854> $1,000 == automatic rank 100
- Submit 17/10 15:09 <AdrIneX> lol
- Submit 17/10 15:09 <DarkLord7854> no but I can't talk about persistence
- Submit 17/10 15:10 <AdrIneX> :(
- Submit 17/10 15:13 <Cheshire cat> Darklord, this sounds like a stupid question, but after you finish a game do you play it for a while after? or after working on it for so long do you feel sick of it
- Submit 17/10 15:20 <DarkLord7854> well
- Submit 17/10 15:21 <DarkLord7854> I'm sick and tired of Siege
- Submit 17/10 15:21 <Cheshire cat> Why is that?
- Submit 17/10 15:22 <DarkLord7854> everyone's still playing almost every part of the game
- Submit 17/10 15:22 <DarkLord7854> since we have regular playtests (multiple times per day)
- Submit 17/10 15:25 <DarkLord7854> siege was for alpha and beta
- Submit 17/10 15:25 <DarkLord7854> I've played that map more than enough times
- Submit 17/10 15:22 <Cheshire cat> Darklord have you personally played the campaign yet? not asking for any information about it, just curious if you've tried it
- Submit 17/10 15:22 <DarkLord7854> I've played it 14 times
- Submit 17/10 15:22 <Cheshire cat> what, all the way through or just played it in general
- Submit 17/10 15:23 <DarkLord7854> 14 full plays

- Submit 17/10 15:23 <Cheshire cat> holy shit
- Submit 17/10 15:27 <Cheshire cat> Darklord, did the platform focus change again like Battlefield 3? or has it been consistent throughout
- Submit 17/10 15:33 <DarkLord7854> platform focused for BF3 only changed because 360/PS3 didn't work
- Submit 17/10 15:34 <DarkLord7854> at all
- Submit 17/10 15:34 <DarkLord7854> as in
- Submit 17/10 15:34 <DarkLord7854> the game didn't even boot up
- Submit 17/10 15:34 <DarkLord7854> and that was done late in the summer
- Submit 17/10 15:34 <DarkLord7854> as a "oh shit guys we have no working console version"
- Submit 17/10 15:34 <DarkLord7854> :P
- Submit 17/10 15:34 <DarkLord7854> this time all platforms have been working pretty reliably
- Submit 17/10 15:36 <TheRA1DER> darklord, rolliethepolie said there is no working battlerecorder for bf4 at all, but that it will return in the future
- Submit 17/10 15:37 <TheRA1DER> s that "future" within bf4 lifespan?
- Submit 17/10 15:39 <DarkLord7854> I don't know the status on battlerecorder
- Submit 17/10 15:39 <DarkLord7854> I tried to use it in BF3
- Submit 17/10 15:39 <Lord Crc> dark: uh oh, you're gonna be in deep dodo soon
- Submit 17/10 15:39 <DarkLord7854> I BSOD'ed my computer with a bad config, I didn't bother trying again

- Submit 17/10 15:43 <DarkLord7854> yes, I didn't get my medieval black knight armor camo
- Submit 17/10 15:43 <DarkLord7854> we also removed the debug animation for "Negative" commo rose
- Submit 17/10 15:43 <Cheshire cat> what does that mean?
- Submit 17/10 15:43 <DarkLord7854> your soldier would give the middle finger to whoever you were looking at
- Submit 17/10 15:43 <Lord Crc> haha
- Submit 17/10 15:44 <TheRA1DER> LOL
- Submit 17/10 15:44 <Cheshire cat> hahahaah

- Submit 17/10 15:44 <TheRA1DER> can you please give us the option to disable all 3D icons in the HUD options?
- Submit 17/10 15:44 <TheRA1DER> LZ
- Submit 17/10 15:44 <TheRA1DER> PLZ
- Submit 17/10 15:45 <DarkLord7854> You must fetch me.. a shrubbery
- Submit 17/10 15:45 <Cheshire cat> or select hud elements
- Submit 17/10 15:45 <Cheshire cat> In Battlefield 2 you could change the opacity of certain parts of the hud, will that option be given in Battlefield 4? even down the line if it's not present on release
- Submit 17/10 15:46 <DarkLord7854> I don't know, I don't really delve into UI, shit's scary
- Submit 17/10 15:46 <DarkLord7854> game UI that is*
- Submit 17/10 16:02 <DarkLord7854> UI was done in-house for BF4
- Submit 17/10 16:02 <DarkLord7854> we made our own language for it too
- Submit 17/10 16:02 <woess> ohh nice
- Submit 17/10 16:02 <DarkLord7854> dumped Scaleform
- Submit 17/10 16:03 <woess> so you can make changes to it after bf4 release based on feedbach ?
- Submit 17/10 16:03 <DarkLord7854> dunno
- Submit 17/10 16:03 <DarkLord7854> I try to stay away from game UI, it's a scary place
