Add a server browser

Yeah it has been totally ignored even though it is a major reason that players are leaving.

@AdamonicSeems that map design is the important issue instead of fixing the MM issue by not introducing a persistent server browser. If i had a server browser where i could pick my region and ping with a map rotation so i could see all the maps at least once then i probably could play this game. But sadly since Dec 3rd have not been able to have a playable game.

Totally unacceptable, and I agree this issue should have been resolved before starting to rework maps.

Reworked maps are not much use to you if you can't get into play them.!!

It is so frustrating that DICE have ignored this problem even though we have been asking for this for months. !!

@RayD_O1I know dozens of people, some who bought the game and bailed after a few days and others who took a wait and see attitude. The number one reason they walked away or won’t buy is the lack of persistent servers. I’d be having a heck of a better time playing with more than 3 buddies (down to 2 now, as the third recently left the game too).

Yeah, just another example of how MM is killing BF2042. DICE need to listen to us and replace MM asap. !!

I can't believe it either, even though players have been crying out for this for months. ☹️

A Server Browser is a core game feature, not just a legacy feature that players want. This is something that is "needed" by many and used by most. If you can't even get into a game or into the one you want, why even play?

If this was a F2P title at launch, sure, dumb down the interface for those players who are gaming for free. Don't care, just want to jump into a game, hit the Quick Match (MM). However, you have hundreds of thousands of players who bought the title outright and don't have a way to choose the server, map, team, or squad they are playing on. That immediately takes away from the gaming experience from the get-go. How could DICE not see this?

Exactly, MM has taken away choice and forces players to play the way MM decides.

Everyone on here should have a read about a new proposal on this thread :

@RayD_O1Another option that seems totally feasible is just listing some AOW (persistent) servers in Portal and allowing those servers to have XP and progression.

What would be the drawback to that from a player perspective?

If you check out the link I just posted above you will find interesting reading on that subject.

@Straatford87 can you please let us know if our posts on this thread are being read, and can we expect some answers / feedback from you or one of the other CM's in the near future. 

Hopefully you will have seen the other posts on this subject as well, it would be nice to know our feedback is being monitored and considered for action, thanks.

DICE should implement the @DuaneDibbley proposal asap as it is something they should be able to do relatively easily.

Re: Concrete and simple to implement proposal that would improve BF2042 TODAY - Answer HQ

They should also make sure they take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that all you guys who currently are unable to join matches get sorted.

Then further down the line implement the full blown Server Browser / Persistent servers we were used to in previous battlefields.

That should hopefully keep everyone happy, I know I definitely would be. 😃

I am hoping we hear a response from DICE soon regarding this proposal.

@RayD_O1 Oh my lord, Thanks for replying and keeping this thread alive. I did not expect to see any responses after 2-3 days. 
And DICE we need a server browser ASAP.

And we will keep it alive until DICE take action to sort it. 😃

And we have at least 3 other similar threads which we keep going daily, hopefully we will eventually get through to DICE.

We are still waiting / hoping for a response from DICE.  

Another days goes by without any response, very disappointing.

If not a server browser, then please can we have a tiny bit of intelligence in how matches are decided? For example:

Just tried to have game of Breakthrough 64.

Loads into: Kaleidoscope. On defense. 

[eyerolls] OK at least I can have a Casper drone round. So I did. We won. Yay.

Next game: Kaleidoscope. On defense. 

[backs out] 

Next game: Kaleidoscope. On defense. 

[backs out] 

Next game: Kaleidoscope. On defense. 

[ALT+F4 and reloads game] 

Next game: Kaleidoscope. On defense. 

[ALT+F4 and loads Insurgency Sandstorm]  

Now I'm not one of those coders, so bear with me, but can we please add something like;

Game.map=Kaleidoscope:  yarp

Player.backed.out:                  yarp

Offer.same.map.again:         narp

Surely this is doable? Please?

It is doable. and if MM was replaced we could all be able to choose how, when and where we play.

That's why we need DICE to give us the Server Browser / Persistent Servers that we had in previous BF 's.
