browser seems broken today. only see Rush servers. no Conquest. But when I do quickmatch I get on a conquest server. and yes checked the filter and changed it to Norht America, conquest, 0-10 slots available and still nothing. I think they are trying to move more players to BFV lol. A lot of Rush servers though especially in Europe. ---

I just donā€™t get whatā€™s going on with the player-base. . Last night there were 8 US West Conquest servers filled with the vanilla maps and none playing Mixed or DLC only servers?!? I find it hard to believe that all these players WANT to stick to the base game only. Does everyone use quick match now? . I tried in vain the last few nights to get JackFragsā€™ server going as well as a Mixed server going. I was never able to get more than 3 people to join! Itā€™s just weird whatā€™s happening and I do wonder if DICE is somehow trying to degrade the game for long time players so they move to BFV. . US East seems to be having same problem. ---

JackFrags has a server? What is it called? Are you referring to FragShack? Thatā€™s not Jackā€™s server. Iā€™m looking at the browser now on Saturday afternoon nd 99% of the U.S. servers are Official vanilla maps. Seems to be that nearly all players on console are using QM and donā€™t seem to care about DLC maps enough to spend a few minutes of their precious game time to help get an all maps server going. LOL. ---

I was so desperate to play other maps I tried Japanese servers. Lotā€™s of choices there but unfortunately performance was not great. Grrrrrrā€¦ ---

> [@ronybaloney](#): > > Sorry. Yes I meant FragShack! Lol. Your server. > Sadly nothing but Crickets. ā˜¹ FragShack is a server name that goes back about 12 years. Use to host COD servers with that name. Thank you for spending some of your time trying to get the server going. I appreciate it. I seeded it yesterday for about 8 hours or so and never got a round going. Been seeding it off and on today and still no luck. Pretty surprising when you look at all the Dice Official servers going in the U.S. This is why games die. Players get bored playing the same maps over and over and eventually leave the game. If more people were like you, there would be a nice variety of servers to play. But unfortunately most are selfish with their time and wonā€™t donate any of it to get a server going, even though they want to play different maps. Been trying different maps to lure them in. Always had the most luck getting the PC server going with Sinai and Ballroom. ---

OP here. Iā€™m not complaining about LACK of serversā€¦ Iā€™m complaining about lack of anything but VANILLA servers. I play Conquest on US West PS4 servers and there has been NOTHING but vanilla servers for weeks! . Yeah, if you like nothing but the same old 9 maps over and over and over then yippee life is good! Iā€™m just venting about players who are too stupid to use server browser or are so brain-dead as to not want to playā€¦I donā€™t knowā€¦ALL 30 Maps??? ---

Actually there are 29 maps šŸ˜ Youā€™re totally right about nearly all the active servers in the U.S. being Dice Official original maps servers. Sad that more donā€™t seem to have an issue with it. Games die when there is a lack of variety. Now they have those lame R2BF5 servers back to cater to the QM noobs and suck up most of the traffic. EA is trying to kill this game off. ---

PS4 players are the biggest game hoppers. They have the bigggest community but when a new title gets released within the same franchise, they are most likely to dump the old title. Just look at the player base evolution. ---

Well, now there seems to be a US West R2BFV server that is running conquest on maps like Verdun, Rupture, Soisons and Fort Deveau.. Not sure how they change the R2BFV servers especially since the road to BFV should be mostly completed. Iā€™m not complaining about getting some new maps though. Also, for those wanting help seeding a new server Iā€™d be down for that. Maybe we could set a date and time to populate a server? If we planned it, we might get enough repeat players to keep it going. ---

Yeah, when I read Antares65z post last night that they had R2BFV servers again I got excited and hopped right on one last night. Of course it has limited maps but I actually got to play Verdun and Fort De Vaux!! Whoohooo. Pretty sad when you get excited about a R2BFV sever just to play a non-vanilla map!! lol. . I would join a date and time sever If someone wanted. I have a bad feeling it would only be me, you and Ant. šŸ˜‘ ---
