Updated January 9th 2012 Hello fellow Soldiers! As you all know, we recently removed “Legacy” attachments from Battlefield Play4Free as a way to introduce a better level of balance in the game. We appreciate all the feedback that you’ve been giving our team since this change and we assure you, this was a tough decision and not an easy one to make. That being said, we believe that it will deliver the most fun and enjoyable gaming experience to all players and as such these changes will remain. In the spirit of continually improving Battlefield Play4Free, we are listening to your feedback and responding. Over the next few weeks, we will be implementing several community requested changes to the “+3” weapons: Damage will be increased across all ranges of +3 weapons (Currently +3 weapons do 2 additional base (body) damage over all ranges compared to their non +3 counterpart. This will be increased to 3 addition points of damage) Base ammo count will be increased across all +3 weapons (This will vary depending on the weapon and the weapon type) In addition, we will be making some changes to currently imbalanced boosters (for example, the Mortar Strike and RPG Boosters). If you have additional questions about the “Legacy” attachments, please refer to this Q&A. As always, we greatly appreciate your feedback and if you wish to comment on these new changes, please feel free to join in below. Best regards, The Battlefield Play4Free Team Original Post December 19th 2011 Listen up Soldiers! At the start of this month, we released weapon customization, an update that gave players the ability to personalize their arsenal as they saw fit. During this update we removed all “Elite” and “Veteran” primary weapons and in their place owners of these weapons were given new weapon attachments named “Legacy” items, that they could add to their guns. As some of you may have already noticed, these “Legacy” items have made these weapons too powerful, significantly affecting the balance of the game which we did not foresee. So in an effort to restore balance and an enjoyable experience for everyone, we are eliminating all “Legacy” attachments and removing them from the game. Existing owners of “Elite” and “Veteran” weapons (a.k.a "Legacy" attachment owners) will still get something in return, as we will replace your existing base weapons with new, unique, “+3” versions. These “+3” weapons are more powerful versions of the current base weapons with slightly increased stats and can still be upgraded with the full catalogue of customization items. We value our community and your experience with the game is our top priority. We know it’s not fun to feel like you can’t win, and we know it’s not fun to feel like there’s no challenge. We’ve taken these steps to help ensure that we are delivering the most enjoyable gaming experience possible. These changes will take into effect as of Tuesday, December 20 @ 09:00 UTC If you wish to discuss these changes please leave a comment in this thread. F.A.Q What happened to my Legacy items? As per the announcement from Tuesday, December 20 @ 09:00 UTC , all "Legacy" attachments have been removed from the game. We did this in an effort to bring better balance to the overall gameplay and improve the experience for all Battlefield Play4Free players. For more information, please read the announcement above. Why was this change made? The change was made to improve the balance and the overall experience of the game. The "Legacy" attachments were unfortunately too powerful, significantly affecting the game’s balance. For more information, please read the announcement above. Why not increase the stats of the other attachments instead? Our goal is to create a game that is fun and enjoyable for all our players, from beginners to veterans. If we were to increase the stats of all attachments this would create a much more fast-paced and chaotic experience, that we felt would further imbalance the game and frustrate our community. I owned "Legacy" attachments what do I get in return? For those who previously owned the "Legacy" attachments you will be given a unique "+3" version of the gun that you had "Legacy" attachments for. These "+3" weapons have an increased base damage which you can still improve to your liking by using our catalogue of customization parts. Can I get a refund for weapons I have purchased? No, there is a no refund policy for items purchased in game.

We absolutely value our community. We constantly monitor our forums for feedback and ideas on how to make Battlefield Play4Free a better game. Your experience is our top priority. We know it hasn’t been fun to feel like you can’t win, and we know it hasn’t been fun to feel like there’s no challenge. This is a situation where we had to make a tough decision, and in the short term, it is not pleasant for everyone, but we believe these changes will lead to a more enjoyable gaming experience for all our players.
