BF3 Colour Tweaker, what the...?

[Tomo]

I doubt anyone here is naive enough to blame an individual developer for the decisions of the producers and senior designers. I can easily understand why on so many questions he gives us the frustrating "no comment". Whatever he thinks as a person it doesn't matter in such a big company as EA/DICE, not saying in what kind of trouble he could end up for taking our side or even commenting on it. I don't blame him, as I clearly said that's nothing personal. It's the company new direction, decisions and treatment of customers which I find appalling at best. EA/DICE is a PR disaster and BF franchise gets dumbed down for higher sales AT ANY cost.

Yeah, I often mispronounce that one wrong too My main rant grammar is rather appalling too, but I just can't be bothered to rewrite it. I ranted on the same subject more times then it is worth. Thanks anyway

Raider, we will not introduce new mechanisms on the server side to control supression et al. Sorry.

Just to interject, is there no movement on this at all? Raider is right in asking for server options. Some of the requests for BF3 changes make no sense if it's optional instead of mandatory. Everyone must play this way. The Battlefield community has always asked for server options so we know its something worth badgering you about.There used to be a friendly-fire %age setting

So... server settings. How much would it cost for a server option? Would £5k per server option be reasonable?

Either turning off suppression isn't possible with a simple flip of a switch or they feel it's one of those things that makes the game unique.

It does make the game unique as you need to be...special to think its a good feature in a FPS.

There will be a console command for disabling the color grading entirely in the game included with the next PC game client update.
We believe that turning it off gives no major competitive advantage/disadvantage.
IRNV scope and a few others which turn the image into greyscale or greenscale don't work properly without color grading and will look real ugly.
There will be no in-game UI for turning it on/off.
We are unlikely to handle support questions and bug reports regarding stuff that happens when color grading is disabled.

As for server settings: we are not currently planning to implement any new ones.

Seems like this is a community victory? A bit of my faith is back...

[ThePocetnik]

Thank you Mikael, for bringing us the good news...

Kalms for president!

[myth1485]

Extraordinary news! Kalms, we cannot thank you enough. But we can thank you until we are blue in the face.

But seriously, thanks so much for taking feedback into the office and voicing our feelings with your coworkers.

A man amongst trolls. I look forward to being able to turn the ugly off.

by the by, I don't suppose you have an example pic of the night vision stuff without the grading? =)

[yiyeyigit]

[Dick Taid]

That was... unexpected. I'm completely dumbfounded. This is fantastic news!

A small victory but a victory nonetheless. I do appreciate that DICE has made such decision.

[majnu]

Nice to see a civil conversation with DICE staff

Genuinely didn't think you'd be able to change anything - but huge props, and a huge thank you, for arranging this. And for continuing to constructively and openly communicate with us.

Oh, so you ARE still here then?
