Add a server browser
DICE, please add a server browser. I cannot find matches in my region(India). I am just stuck on the waiting for players screen and the match never starts or there are only 20-30 players in a match. ...
Forum Discussion
@ElliotLH They say that, but not too long ago one of the CM's tweeted a response to someone about how they didn't see people talking about persistent lobbies...despite there being multiple threads about persistent lobbies on the front page of this forum for months.
Sure makes you wonder if they actually read these forums given how they seem so unaware of the voluminous feedback already provided and need to continue to do these "feedback loop" threads as if literally all the information hasn't been repeatedly posted everywhere for months.

@edgecrusherO0 I get that and wish I had a better response or more information for you and everyone else. It could be a case of there being feedback overload, where the more persistent requests are drowning everything else out, or it could be that there just aren't enough people talking about a browser and/persistent lobbies as a whole. For what it's worth I have passed this on as feedback, and I do know that the CMs read the forums and report back too.
@ElliotLHOh, I'm not expecting official responses from folks like you (not intended as an insult!). You're not EA/DICE staff. Just expressing my frustrations here again in the hopes that maybe DICE CM's are still reading the forums today. Straatford was yesterday which was nice, but absent them actually posting they've given us no reason to believe they actually read these forums regularly.
I know they say they read the forums, but it just doesn't show through their actions or communications. Only a few hot-topic "legacy features" like scoreboard and VOIP, but those have been begged for since the beta. There's little indication that they're reading the more expansive and granular feedback with any regularity.
I guess we'll see what happens with the "feedback loop", if the post even goes live tomorrow (fully expecting them to delay this again at this point) to see if it's even worth continuing to spend any time against.
I get it, centralizing feedback on a singular topic makes it easy to process, but it's also a pretty bad way to get comprehensive feedback about the game. Everything is connected, you can't isolate individual areas of the game and make changes without taking the rest of the game into consideration. So this "laser focused" feedback approach vs. tackling more wholistic topics just feels frustrating since it feels like the "bare minimum" is still being done.
Would be great to see DICE come out and say, "We've pulled most of the development team off the next BF project and are doubling down on our commitment to BF2042 and our fans. We'll be doing some deep planning and building internal roadmaps for the next few weeks so please be patient while we get everyone back up to speed and a plan in place. Once created, we'll begin sharing details of the roadmap and the overall plan to deliver the game that we promised you." Plus like, maybe an apology for the quality of the game they delivered and repeatedly lying to their community ("AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!") and a bit of humility.
I'm just shouting into the wind though.- @edgecrusherO0 I know dude and I think all we can do is hope that, with persistence, it gets through sooner or later.

The only thing left for us is to keep the threads alive to make sure to other users of the forums that they do not care.
It is just crazy that we are over 4 months since launch and not a single feature mentioned in their own post exists in the game today. An in-game scoreboard was not even originally mentioned. So how that got to the top of the list is beyond me. A Server Browser would've made the most sense to keep that current playerbase engaged. Instead, they let the community erode into next to nothing. The average player count on Steam is now under 2K heading towards 1K. That makes most modes unplayable in several regions. So those players get stuck in MM.
