That would be a good start…hopefully rented servers would be included in “quik match” category. If not rental server will have a re-population problem.
Ksa don’t seem as bad a problem as the Japanese. Not been seeing a huge deal of them lately. Not the amount you used get. Maybe the Japanese being on has messed it up for them big time.
I live in hope that this issue gets sorted. I’m hoping for another good year or two out of battlefield 4. Not interested in hardline.
Froggins are you surprised? Other threads have gone on for much longer than this one. Chris aka Battle(non)sense even did a video explaining why consoles need to have same server controls like PCs do i.e. ProCon. Chris even deflated the argument that Sony and Microsoft would not allow ping limits because they would be implemented on private servers only (which the community is paying for). T1gge responded with “we’re looking into this” and that was the last we ever heard from DICE regarding this issue. Needless buffs like the ACE23 and AEK check, but implementing a solution to a problem that has plagued the game since launch? Cue crickets…
you’re right btw john, I don’t see many Japanese on xbox one, Brazilians tho…1,000’s
Everyone is blaming BF4 game but in fact OOR networking is a bigest problem .
This post is not meant to be negative just a temporary solution to the out of region (ping exploitation) players. Why don’t we get together and try to control our own gaming environment by creating our US/UK rental servers. We can designate admins and keep servers populated with US/CAN/UK gamers. At the same time we make new friends enjoy ourselves the way it used to be. I have had a rental server since BF3 glory days and I have no problem in including (admins) those of whom I’ve met thru Battlelog and so much want a solution. Again I hope this doesn’t come across negatively just a temporary solution. What do you guys think? Server name “Arnold Schwarzenegger WWIII”. That would be only a start.
***server name-Arnold Schwarzenegger’s World War III
nothing will be done about it UNITL EA / DICE has physical servers in regions that SONY / MS sells the game. Sony and MS are never going to allow ping kicks on official servers or otherwise because each and every player that bought a console, the world over, will be sorted into haves and havenots and the console manufacturers won’t allow it.
they see it as that everyone that has bought a console and if that game was released in that region, said person will get to play it, regardless of the internet connection.
Drunk, ProCon or another similar program would only be implemented for private servers Servers which community members are paying for. Official DICE servers would be left as is. Japanese, Brazilians, KSA, could still enter those servers without any issue. I don’t see where Sony or MS would have a leg to stand on. If it was implemented across the board then yes, but ping limits for private servers are more than fair.
these things i understand; however, i don’t see SONY or MS accepting an update with these features until there are physical servers in regions by said developer.
creating and running servers in more locations for consoles costs EA money, and since they don’t get anything back (money) they are not that interested in this.
if server rentals would work on the console like it does on PC (where all servers are rented by the community and there are a lot more locations - tho still not enough) then the situation on the consoles would be much better.
but I don’t know any reason why I would want to rent a server on the console with that horribly limited administration power you have there, the “play now” issue that will never get players on your server unless you run it with the vanilla maps and “official” and you can’t even choose the location of the server…
who at EA/DICE comes up with that stuff and thinks that players will be happy with it???
people who’s business is business and have never played a video game in their life.
Chris, DICE/EA don’t care about consoles. For them we’re just a cash cow. They could care less about our dissatisfaction. We’re always going to be the red headed step child. After months and months of CTE being available for PC they’re finally bringing it to consoles after the console community complained that we should have some sort of input on upcoming changes. DICE/EA could have resolved this issue months ago. They just don’t care because there’s nothing in it for them.

Ok here we go an idiot diminishing this post..look up
Hoping for a couple more years here too. Still get lots of WOW moments that keep me playing. But many more WTF? moments caused by OOR players that make you step away in disgust.
Hardline isn’t an option for me , at least not yet. It’s the first Battlefield game I am not excited for.

THOTR I can’t find this server. I’ve entered it both ways you typed. Arnold Swarzenegger WWlll and Arnold Swarzenegger’s World War lll.
That is the thing that I don’t get with EA/DICE.
I mean everyone knows that BF3/4 had the consoles as lead platform for a lot of the design decisions that were made.
But on the other hand they don’t care about providing proper servers on the consoles…
It is the same nonsense on PC that there are large regions where there are no RSPs, and in some there are not enough.
I have no idea how the decision making process is working at DICE - this just makes no sense. :-/
One day we might get proper servers. I’m dying for mixed maps and modes.
It would also be great if you could have a map and mode vote at the end of your match like pc does. To see what will be played next. Would be awesome.
I would love a rotation of zavod, dawnbreaker, rogue transmission, Paracel Storm, op locker, Guilin peaks, wave breaker, op mortar, pearl market, propaganda, sunken dragon, lumphini gardens, hanger 21, op whiteout. And possibly metro and gulf of Oman.
The game should be region locked. I am so sick of brazilians and japanese players infesting us servers with their laggy bs. I wish all us servers would ban them on sight.
