Battlefield 1 Server Rent

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

Let’s get serious now.

I do not know if what I will write here will be taken into consideration. But EA/DICE, I beg that you please at least take this discussion.

I host a Ranked BF4 PC server in Brazil, I’m with a group of other 13 servers owners. And one thing seems to be a consensus both among ourselves and among the members of our platoons.

Please EA/DICE, let the BF1 servers to be rented, as it was in Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 3.

I understand that admin abuse is a serious problem, I’ve read several complaints here in the forum and even ourselves have some examples here in Brazil.

But this is definitely no reason to prevent that legitimate admins can keep the servers to their clans and the community. I know that because of some, most end up paying the price, but there are many serious and competent servers in Battlefield 3 and 4.

Several players prefer not to play on Official servers to play on rented servers, sometimes because they are more controlled or because they have more admins online most part of the time.
Besides the possibility of changing the gameplay, allowing a player to have several options, so that it can select which fits more with their game mode.
And yet the question of cheaters control, some who have not yet passes through the control of EA, we can stop on our own.
In addition to racism, xenophobia and swearing control in the chat.

If you guys want to do something to reduce the admin abuse, it’s just you guys (EA/DICE) release a few servers by own. But don’t prevent those who want to, to rent their own servers.

From what I could see, Battlefield 1 looks like it will be an excellent game. So do not let something like that ruin the game.

So again EA/DICE, I beg, at least give us the option and not just only EA servers. Do not make Battlefield 1 another Battlefront.

TL;DR: Please EA/DICE, let us RENT(and CONTROL) the servers JUST like Battlefield 3 and 4.

Thank you.

(And sorry for my English)

Yes, please allow server rental. Preferably with a functioning ping indicator.

3

Vouching for this.

I really can’t stand the fixed settings like time and tickets. They should be configureable.

Communities need to be able to play on servers they can customize (modified HC, admin abilities to ban people, etc), not to mention being able to run a lower Hz server…no server rental would suck and if that ends up being the case, I will most definitely be cancelling my wife’s and my pre-orders of the Early Enlister edition and just continue playing BF4…same with our whole gaming community…we should be able to run our own servers, just like in BF3 and BF4…

5

They will definitely have rented servers. If not, I will be pissed as hell and will probably ask for a refund.

6

ofc there’s gonna be rented servers, they’re what keep BF alive

7

on pc ?

8

Exactly what I thought too. If will not be possible to rent the servers, refund here I come.

Thanks for sharing Steve – guess I will wait a little longer to see how that plays out before I cancel my pre-orders…

11

RIP BF1, no servers = cheats run riot, pre-order cancelled lol. Maybe back to BF3?

12

(If this is true) Congrats EA, you did it again :frowning:

I will wait for a few more weeks, if this confirms or if anyone don’t say anything, i will cancel my pre-order and rent a few more months in BF4 with that money.

Communities do their best in having a certain rotation and customisation.
We are the ones who ban the cheaters and make this game fun for a long time!
Taking away these rights is great for cheaters, spammers and lowlife…
Do not do this Dice…you are heading towards call of duty!

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

100%

15

agree!!!

It’s starting to look like “another Battlefront” is exactly what EA has in mind when it comes to providing servers for BF1. If this is what they actually do, it will be one of the most breathtakingly stupid business decisions in the gaming industry.

17

It IS EA, so stupid business decisions are to be expected.
A game company run by crusty businessmen and not by gamers is definitely doing as much wrong as possible in the relentless search of the almighty dollar. After the initial sales, they just do not care. Pretty sad.

18

yes, I agree with OP. we want the option to rent our own servers.

if this game looks, feels, or anything like SWBF (as some are mentioning on the forums lately), most of my clan & I will leave the series. SWBF was NOT a BF game and the majority of your fans did not like Hardline. Don’t be anything like those 2.

19

It’s looks are reminiscent of swbf.

But… battlefront looked really good, so I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all.

110% Agree. Without our ability to ban the toxic players, the hackers and the racist then this game will fail just like Battlefront did. And the huge hype you built up for will be all for nothing because the hardcore, dedicated players will move on and buy and play something else. But lets be serious for a minute, EA doesn’t care that Battlefront flopped a few months after launch. It was the big surge of units sold at the launch is ALL the cared about. They considered that a HUGE success to them to push out a rushed title with little content and sell X million units. I’m willing to bet the same will be said for Battlefield 1. That’s why they are taking so long to make anything public in regards to server rentals because they know pre-orders will DROP IF they decide to not do dedicated rentals.
