So after all of this, we’ve gotten no enough info to rent a server.

I used to renting bf servers from BF4 and understand how difficult it is to attract players and make a nice community.  
It is sad if players bore and go away to other games by judging there would be no server.

@Braddock512 Can we just confirm that the lack of servers in Europe is because the RSP is BETA? Or is it realy a fact that EA does not have enough capacity to go around?

We have around 100+ and have the same issue. And seeing wat the RSP beta is at its current state, playing via matchmaking has more value atm…We believe in EA and hope the beta is just a beta…but its nice to get confirmation at least.

Have you seen this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield\_one/comments/5d3wmj/first\_experience\_with\_renting\_a\_private\_server/da1oxtm/](https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/5d3wmj/first_experience_with_renting_a_private_server/da1oxtm/)

They gave a bit information what’s coming next. Question is: when?

I’ve looked everywhere for an answer or a similar alement. When I click on rent a server (disastrous btw) it will allow me to rent a server in Australia (I reside in the states.) no problem. But fails to let me rent a server in North America, and the one region that has mediocre ping (South America) I get greeted with “error opening checkout: we were unable to open the checkout at this time”. Anyone else having this issue? PlayStation 4 BTW.

So unless you have a sick note Braddock, how do you explain this one away once again?

So, first a rant and then questions (what this thread is for, right?)

After the update, the RSP is woefully inadequate and “hardcore” is nearly unplayable. RSP, as noted, has no kick/ban options, minimal map options, an odd purchase/renewal process, and ridiculous start server numbers. The few features that we are allowed to modify are welcome, but still way too limited.

Custom “Hardcore”, which seems to default to all settings off, is plagued by a number of issues. Friendly tags are slow to appear (making me pause before firing or increase the number of TKs I commit). They also reduce in size depending on how far away the player/vehicle is (so if over 150 yards away, the friendly icon is nearly invisible, worse on vehicles when the icon matches the color of the plane/tank. There is no way to tell if you killed someone unless you (1) can hear the barely audible “cha-ching” sound that is made when killing (with all the other sounds going on, not a reliable signal) or (2) you actually see them die and not move. There is no other indicator of a kill, like a kill card. TKs are even worse; no way to tell you TKed unless you are told you did it. No large map either, can’t even tell where squadmates are at unless I aim at them. Essentially, it’s a TKfest.

I would hope that all these problems were due to lack of foresight and not, as the conspiracy theorist in me might suggest, due to a desire to do away with organized groups of players who like variety in gameplay.

So, the questions:

Why limit to 6 maps/modes in the server?

Can you add the ability to put clan tags on players?

Can you add the following options to RSP:

- Kill/kick/ban
- Hit markers (toggle on/off)
- Large map (toggle on/off)
- Lower number of players to start round
- Set team member icons on at all times
- Increase size of team member icons
- Kill cards for all kills (enemy and TK)

Moved about 30 comments from people who literally couldn’t stay on-topic.  
This is the last warning. If you can’t ask QUESTIONS - the topic of this thread - you will receive an infraction.

Now, regarding the update I had _hoped_ to get out Monday, well, RSP dropped on Tuesday and some things changed.  
I’m actually in Stockholm right now, going to sit down with one of the devs and draft up a post (that WILL go BY MONDAY - today if at all possible) to answer a bunch of questions.

Reminder: Forum Rules and EA TOS is always in effect. If you can’t follow it, don’t post. If you can, feel free to join the discussion. There have been quite enough warnings that going forward, you’ll receive a timeout for abusive posts, insults, off-topic, etc.  
(I didn’t want to have to post this way, but after requesting 6+ times to stay on topic, it’s a bit ridiculous.)

You’re probably right. I think we have ALL the possible questions needed - now we just need answers.  
Once we get the first round of answers out of the way, I think I can create another thread about questions.
