0 packet loss and even spoke to EA Support. They tested my connection using their UOTRACE programme and everything is good my end just as my ISP has confirmed. Means only one thing the servers need sorting out.
Glad to hear its its not you connection. Just anther confirmed case of the crapy servers EA has. Lower pings put less stress on servers you think they would do something like give rent a server a ping kicker since they have most likely spent atleast 150USD on there game. This is the only reason I havent rented one. Why waste money if I can get the same crapy experience on official servers?
Playing on a lot of Vets have priority servers, and yeah it sucks but sometimes one admin has to admin the server instead of play. You can do this with any of your servers. You have interested players message you, check them out and give them password to join.
If they gave us direct access to our server just like all other Battlefield server providers we could run scripts that will auto kick high pings and also alow us to run NON-EXP Metro and Locker servers among other things. All you need is something that can access the web like the PS4 browser to use procon or other similar scripts . Problem solved with no negative affect.
Yeah, The worst thing is the current issues are destroying, not promoting the sense of community that most of us who online play are looking for. But in the end you either find a way to limit the destruction, or quit playing.
About a year back I made a thread to invite US players only to combat the OOR lag nonsense. While the thread had success, the concept failed because our admins would spend more time kicking then playing. The only option was private but then the game became unranked. Has that changed?
Miwwa. I had a thread on this subject with 3500 replies. Not a word. All we got was comments from the devs in their own thread and promises that never came in the fall patch.
Agree but im not buying another Battlefield untill ther do something about the 30+ 150ms-400ms pings we have to deal with due to players that have servers in there region but choose to play OOR for the ping advantage.
Miwwa. I had a thread on this subject with 3500 replies. Not a word. All we got was comments from the devs in their own thread and promises that never came in the fall patch. ] It’s probably still that way. I will check it out a little later and post on it. To be honest this has been such a screwed up game, the stats are fairly meaningless. My friends and I started getting creative and putting our own twist into the game. We plan side objectives and missions. Just fun stuff. It has made the game enjoyable again.
