This game like all other BR`s is designed with casting the net as wide as possible in mind, to gather the biggest player base possible, everything youve mentioned would alienate segments of that player base.
Improving server performance would kill the potatoe pc`s about 30% of players
Ping limit is something i feel could be tweaked (even it evven exists), there is a big difference between trying to play with someone a couple of thousand miles away and squads that VPN in from china with a probable 400 ms, i suspect its those squads that are hurting server performance.
All in all there is a complete lack of transparency from devs in all BR`s and i suspect that is because if you knew just how poorly the servers were running you would be disgusted.
If you go back to BF3 days and third party server rental, they were managed independantly, high pingers (that trashed server performance) could be kicked, servers were managed for the good of the players. Now servers are manged for the good of devs bottom line
@dougieee Lack of transparency really doesn't help the matter and i think more are not only becoming aware of some of these issues but also educating themselves to find where the problem lies as most are having them or just moving on.
As to servers improvements killing potato PC's i don't know if that's entirely true, i mean in some instances maybe but in others you would see a difference as these are issues effecting everyone irrespective of platform from what i can tell. Why i also suggested clients could just choose their own rates so everyone would still have what they have now but those that do have the hardware or internet to push themselves to a more acceptable level for most modern games, can do. If you're running a 10 year old rig or old console then it's time to upgrade now anyway.
Privately run servers has been suggested before but Respawn have said they don't want to pass the buck on to the community. I don't know if that will change or even an option in the future with our current instant play being the only choice but i'll put that into the thread later.
@BaldWraithSimp I often get put into mainland Europe servers with London selected.
@DoYaSeeMe I don't need your negativity and excuses here! ;D
I welcome the input but i want to hear improvements or solutions and not reasons to justify why this current state is the best they can do. I understand with the launch of Apex of how things were but time has moved on and by their own admission 40% of players are in the competitive mode so i'm looking at it from that and a performance lens.
There's other reasons why they play ranked instead of casual but that's another issue..
