> [@Axlerod1](#): > > Don’t expect African Servers until middle of March. The same time the Spring DLC is due out. It could come before but do not expect it to. It would be smarter to first get the servers, make sure they are stable and working globally before launching a new DLC that will most likely contain many UNKNOWN bugs. The risk of running in to problems and getting a headache by launching the DLC and Servers at the same time is to big of a risk. Get you freaking deals in order, cut the check and provide your paying customers with concrete info on when they can actually start playing the game that they paid for 3 months ago. It is very arrogant to assume that after 3 months your customers are suppose to just “play” along and wait for DICE/EA to finish the game. Those that have paid for BF1 and are from a region affected better get some form of compensation, a voucher of X amount that can be used in Origin store or something. Just to show that you actually do feel empathy. @Striterax seriöst vad händer fan håller ni på med? Jag förstår att du har mycket för dig och stress från varje håll för att uppfylla nästa spel mode, men var för nytta gör det när folk inte kan spela? Ni dödar allt ni har jobbat för, folk kanske uppskattar spelet om ett halvår när det är fixat med servers och pingen kommer ner. Men tills dess det är inte roligt, det var inte ens så roligt att spela när jag var på semester i Sverige förutom när jag gick till Inferno och gibbade med grabbarna. Men min poäng är hypen jag hade i BETAN och i början av releasen dog snabbt då man spelar med minst 200 ping. Jag fattar att du stressar personen ovan dig och den personen detsamma, men något som är fundamental till ett multiplayer online spel kan inte glömmas eller halkas efter 3-6 månader. Jag vill verkligen spela Titanfall 2 och även förhandsboka Mass Effect men kommer ALDRIG att ens röra dom så länge jag är i Africa. Jag tror att många känner så. EA och Syd Afrika var inte lönsamt några år tillbaka, men det är nya tider och antalet folk som kopplar upp sig idag är mycket mer och det ökas kvartalsvis väldigt snabbt framåt. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” - Martin Luther King Jr ---

@SpectaJin Dom borde ge ALLA regioner där titeln säljs servrar. Ska säga dig att pingen från Sverige inte heller är något direkt att hurra över. Frankrike och Irland har servrar som tydligen skall täcka hela “EU”.. Bra för dom som bor i dom två länderna, Dåligt för alla oss andra. Att sedan kvalitén på hårdvaran är under all kritik gör ju knappast saken bättre. Dom borde passa sig lite ifall dom verkligen vill behålla sin spelarbas. ---

Ja det är helt sjukt, satt med en ping på 50-70 när jag spelade på Inferno, samma sak att spela hemma med en lina på 100/100. Jag förstår inte hur man kan stressa fram ett spel så här mycket innan den är klar. Det värsta är att informationen som dom inte ger är bara mer frustrerande, de behöver mycket bättre kommunikation med spelarbasen och inte bara vända sig till kända YouTube profiler som ska falsk promota spelet. How can you guys release a game that is intended to be played MOSTLY on multiplayer but is not a uniform playable experience, not even in the country it was created in? The game is being promoted falsely through Youtubers even though people are complaining in the back of their minds. The promotion is of course sponsored by bribes in forms of money or goodies from DICE. [https://twitter.com/WDA\_Punisher/status/822077822265131008](https://twitter.com/WDA_Punisher/status/822077822265131008) As Newton’s laws states: an object (project in this case) will remain at rest unless ACTED upon by a force that counters it. The amount of force (energy) provided will determine the acceleration of the object(product). For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action. To conclude, STOP WASTING time on promotion and advertisement, when the game is fully developed and you have put energy on the actual GAME, you know the thing that people buy and play, then word of mouth and etc will carry your game. I have never seen a CS GO commercial but the playerbase is there because the game is there…sort of:). Seriously it is a problem with the game if people from Sweden are playing as if they are connected from the countryside using hotspot from their 3G Mobile connection. ---

PCCW Global selects the Djibouti Data Center (DDC) as a “critical element” for pan-African expansion. [QOUTE from article] _“The Djibouti Data Center has been built to Tier III data center standards and serves as a major meeting point for undersea fiber cable systems including the new Asia-Africa-Europe-1 (AAE-1) submarine cable designed to connect Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. PCCW Global is a founder consortium member of the AAE-1 which is expected to be ready for service by early 2017.”_ Even though the data center is not located in South Africa, the expansion will boost the regions that @Striterax mentioned. PCCW Global are also expecting to be ready EARLY 2017, hence that is the reason for why DICE can’t mention an exact date.

Seriously I think it is very interesting that an internal FEEDBACK service created by the creator of the game we are trying to play are not responding on their own outlets, but only via twitter? It is like Trump would be silent on a his own press conference but then spill all the ALTERNATIVE NEWS via twitter. LMAO @Striterax or whoever is suppose to provide information to the community @Braddock512…If a community is asking for feedback then you should provide them with proper information? What is the point of having a forum and discussions if no officials respond to feedback made? We have been waiting since October 30, the date when this discussion started, and there have been many others discussions as well but this is the most active one. Anyways NO feedback regarding the topic of this discussion has been given, but threats from moderators of shutting down this civilized discussion has been conveyed. At this point it is a principal that you provide feedback or else it is just very rude customer service provided. I know you are in the final stages of adding global servers, but I really think people here have been waiting and deserve a response. ---

To be honest I don’t even think it is his job to inform us in the community, he is a producer, that produces the “product”. This forum is meant for the community, maybe the ones managing this community should address this issue. The fact that there is no specific community manager that represents Africa, instead, we have to contact EA Asia which just makes things easier:D. I have earlier stated that affected regions should get some form of compensation, instead of compensation how about you provide the African continent with a representative from EA that is located within the continent. ---

Ubisoft’s Rainbox Six Siege had some server problems on January 25 which Ubisoft is making up to the community by giving a 1 day booster. [SOURCE] [http://www.gamespot.com/articles/rainbow-six-siege-server-issues-heres-how-ubisoft-/1100-6447306/](http://www.gamespot.com/articles/rainbow-six-siege-server-issues-heres-how-ubisoft-/1100-6447306/) This is just smart, while Ubisoft is “apologizing” and communicating to their community they are patching the problem by giving out “double XP” if you will and more importantly just recognizing the fault and amending it. Ubisoft had server problems for 1 day, Battlefield was released with server problems from start due to NOT having proper deals in order allowing for global distribution of servers to provide a uniform GAME experience. ---

This discussion has more than 900 Comments and almost 24 Thousand views and still no Official word? With more than 3 months after release and still no ETA on servers for the many regions that are affected? Is this the kind of feedback to expect in the future? Having 24K views and 900 comments is not enough to have at least one official to respond? Even if the feedback is not what the community wants to hear? Hearing nothing is worse… ---
