This is great news and a highly requested functionality.
This may give us the ability to shape how we play, with XP. We just need all the game modes available.
Very cool.
As I said in the Battlefield Announcement post, this is good news.
The questions I have are,
What kind of admin features are they referring to?
Will we be able to kick/ban players that are causing issues?
What modes will be made available?
Will all maps be made available?

Too little too late.

@sk1lldbetter late than never to be honest.
our constant effort got us back some custom servers late on BFV and it carried over to 2042 too.
This means that the next will likely have persistent servers from the start.
It is a progress.
- X-Sunslayer-X4 years agoSeasoned Ace@UP_Hawxxeye we thought the same after BF1 since the feature was added 6 months later if i recall correctly, in BFV they gave us the bare bones features we came to know and love since then....
i wouldn't be shocked if we are having the exact same conversations in time for the next game as well again

Those are very important questions, if we get the right answers then I agree this is definitely positive news. 👍
- BR-DuaneDibbley4 years agoSeasoned AceI'd say let's wait until they are available. Since yesterday many of us cannot play the game as we experience crashes EVERY round.
My guess is that those servery will not be persistent, but will still show up in the server browser with 0/x players if nobody plays on them. That I guess would be good enough for me (why waste energy there).
A reasonable assumption is that they will have all features any normal Portal server has, so the same maps/modes we can now use to create Portal servers. This also means the same restrictions with respect to XP would apply. Which might make them less attractive for some users.
At least we might be able to find some gems then that we enjoy playing, once the new Portal maps are announced (so far I did not hear of anything like that) and won't see those abominations like '128 player Rush, 1000% DMG, HC, Full XP' bullsh*t that are 100 times less enjoyable to play on than the unbalanced '8vs8 Tactical Conquest' Dice came up with.- ATFGunr4 years agoLegend@DuaneDibbley Lol I can see it now. Tons of players are going to set up a persistent server and no one will be available to play on the as each sits in their own server wondering WTF nobody is playing in their awesome Portal. Not to mention the persistent boosting portals like EMP blaster… this is going to work out just fine at first 🤣

@Ironhead841 when you are hosting servers in portal there will be an option per screenshot in the announcement post to toggle on persistence servers. So everything you all ready can do in portal you can now do with a persistence server.
