I am hardwired cable, has nothing to do with my set up. I can see my modem from where I sit and it never goes offline while playing. And when it does happen the disconnects I can go into the menu and do the internet connection test and zero problems. And not to pick on you or offend you. But with 16 hours played of course you haven’t experienced half the crap that goes on. Or you just don’t pay attention to it. And to answer your question about region. East coast and I play within my region and have to deal with all the walmart connections from across the ocean. There isn’t a single round without South Americans, Brits, Ozzies, Eurotrash, on the servers with their 200-300ms pings messing gameplay up for everyone else.

Adding a ping lock for rented servers great. But doesn’t do anything for those of us that don’t want to deal with badmins and stick to official servers. The official servers also need a built in ping lock of say 200ms so that if you try and join via quick match or server browser it will just bump that person to a server where everyone else has a crap connection. And yes that includes the kid playing in the middle of Ohio on the household wifi where 3+ people are also using the connection.

Hey dude dont get fooled by my 16 hours…
I had 2400 hours of BF3 lets just say this is my Aliases…

We dont need to get personal about the nationalities even the state of the current game is fueling that, I am european never played out side from europe servers,
I had a rented server which I could not administrate because of bad policies and choices from DicEa, and PPl say that :
PING DISPLAY WONT COME TO CONSOLES BECAUSE OF SONYS AND MICROSOFT POLICIES THAT WERE MADE BEFORE CHRIST WAS BORN
in europe we also suffer from the same plague of bad connections, out of region and so on…

even though the game has been running much better since last wednesday (at least for me) will never get better without the ping limit /auto kicker
If they implement the ping lock I would say it would only be in private servers since they wont implement the ping display because of the reason above which is plain stupidity in now a days…

These rules from Sony and Microsoft should be reviewed ASAP since they were made for Px2 and xbox this was a long long time ago like “Once upon a time there was a…”
It is time to do this

bump

I like that dice is fixing the visual recoil, it made some weapons like the g36c useless

Region lock every one outside of the US boarder

I have experienced all these problems stated by: reallyusuck

“1. Lost connection to ea servers when trying to join a server. the having to rejoin, then works fine.
2. Lost connection to ea servers at main menu, but if you hit multiplayer you can join
3. Black screen of nothing happening between rounds. Forcing players to close the game/application
4, Claymores that still can’t be destroyed
5. Server browser not working on battlelog.
6. Random disconnects mid-match for no reason…ie internet connection is just fine, but the game decided to boot you for no reason other then it being broken.”

And much more problems than this on a regular basis. The smartest thing DICE and EA could do is bring CTE servers over to PS4 and X1, don’t worry about PS3 and 360, we all know EA plans to abandon them as soon as possible. But PS4 BF4 is so bad, and is incredibly frustrating, especially when my RPG goes right through a helicopter. I am hardwired, there should be no need for such arbitrary communication problems, and if you have the ability to let us help you fix it, then LET US HELP! Who’s it going to hurt? The games reputation? That was already ruined the moment you guys decided to release it prematurely.

Very nice thread OP.
Would be enticed to come back to BF4 if ping lock is actually implemented.
Work in suppression and the visual recoil also very much needed.
It would be nice if CTE was brought out for console.There are some console specific issues I fear will not get looked at because PC is not affected.
EA /DICE could spend a little more $$$ to make sure this current P.O.S. actually gets improved for console as well. It would be a kind of gift for their horrific releasing of a knowingly broken game.
8 months in and it is still often unplayable..

Region lock wont do…
Ping cap\kicker is the way to go

Region lock is not needed worst idea ever, ping lock or limit is a better solution.

this^
region lock would be extreme and as someone mentioned before (and something I didnt thought about it because was to blind with RAGE to see) is that even our fellow country men can be lag turds, yes even inside our region we can have ppl playing with connections 2G and 3G with 1dwn and 1 up…

FFS who in his right state of mind would even CONSIDER this???

Their should be restrictions to such thing…instead of encouraging ppl doing so

Look at Pc’s and games System Requirements…
Wanna Play Crysis? well You have to get a GOOD GPU
In console since all systems are the (same except for hard drives…) at least there should be an requirement of connection…

Ping Limit the Buckers out of private servers so we can stand a chance…
This will be the Major Leap that Bf4 could Have on Consoles

Makes DMRs useless too.

I like this statement.

Hoorah for DicEa for hearing us console peasants, yes we dont deserve to be heard, we are only good for milking (money)
In all this time (going to be 9 months very soon) did DicEa clarified WHY NOT TO IMPLEMENT PING DISPLAY OR PING LIMIT EVEN WE ARE ASKING FOR AND ITS THE RIGHT and SANE THING TO DO???
DIcEa always say they like to push the boundaries well here is their opportunity RIGHT NOW…

Ping Display (numerical) in scoreboard and ping limit in private servers

We used to have a ping cap of 75 on pc 10 years ago.
