Big disappointment to most of the clans:Upcoming 6p start is not an official setting

Jaskaman · March 21, 2017 8:48AM

Most of the clans/communities wants to run a server with official settings because custom servers are not very popular among BF1 players.
In the CTE patch 20th of March, there is an option for 6p start but when I joined to some CTE servers (CQ) player required was still 20p.
So I asked this and got an answer:

low player server starting is if one rents a server and creates a custom game with that option enabled"

Why???? It's useless like that. IT should be an Official server setting. Why again like this? I hope this is changed. We can't accept that-it has been the most waited feature among multiple admins.

if lower player start(6p) marks your server as custom = then its useless with the actual browser and preset search. Its impossible to seed servers as custom! Im afraid what happened to Battlefield private servers since bad company 2 or i'm getting old(36) and clans and their community's are not important anymore.

this is an absolute joke...the whole idea of 6 player start is to get your server populated, if you make 6 player start a custom setting, custom servers don't get populated period....makes no sense!!

It's to prevent\minimize stat padding\boosters if I had to guess their reasoning for it.

Would you get QM traffic?

Most clans have left with all other communities. That is why polisher count is so low. 6 months and dice still can't figure anything out . By the time dice did RSP it will be to late. Another patch probably won't be out for 3 months. Way to late

It is already too late for BF1.
However, DICE will use the new RSP/Platoons/Companion for all future titles for sure.
I'm sure they've thrown in the towel for this game at this stage.
I think next game is 2018 so I would imagine everything will be working and running smoothly by then.

No QM traffic comes to RSP even if used Official setting for some reason. Custom setting is useless, no one uses it and server browser does not properly support it.
Of course if they remove all DICE servers from server browser and make Custom setting as default setting and they bring QM back to RSP using official setup could help with it.

Yeah if the QM traffic worked with a 6 player start I think we could all be very happy even without some of the other missing features from previous titles.
I would have thought it was simple setting to change?

In the RSP launch QM came to RSP servers (around 10 days) until one famous YouTuber complained that he joined to mixed mode server not the mode he wanted to Hassoon and QM was turned off immediately. So QM traffic can be set immediately if they want to. But they do not want it. Same goes with this 6p start, they can make it to official as well quite fast if they want....

Done.

I guess its pointless to make points here because DEVs seem to avoid the Forums (well the RSP section anyway).

P1asma · March 21, 2017 1:44PM

This again reconfirms my suspicion that EA/DICE wants us to hate this RSP so much that we won't care if we never have dedicated servers again. I'm just sad and completely pathetic on their part. They are killing the clans..

CrashCA · March 21, 2017 2:18PM

From what I see, only a couple of MODs come on the Forums, no DEVs or anyone else from EA.

Mostly they stay in Twitter&Reddit.

So then you have to weigh the importance of stats (zero %) against the importance of your customers (100%).

they read the forums but don't join conversations very much. which is a huge shame.

This game would be so much better if they kept BF4 admin tools...
I cant help it but compare DICE to Infinity Ward with COD.

Seeing as you have at least some contact with them could you tell us roughly how many devs are working on this? They put out whole games every two years but in six months can't do more than add an admin kick function? I've been a programmer for 25+ years now and frankly one person working alone should have completed the whole thing by now (extra admin functions). Once you have the player move function squared away the rest relatively straight forward. If changing the number of players needed to start a server isn't a 30 second job then you need better programmers.
