Post 4.0 Patch priorities

Just curious what everybody thinks the priorities going forward should be now.

Maybe just a "Top 3" list, mine would be (in order of priority)

1. Server Browser with persistent servers (would be nice to have rental/community-run servers back as well)

2. More content, maps, weapons, vehicles, air and ground assets etc.

3. Optimization, rebalancing of vehicles and weapons, specialists' abilities

I know it's hard but let's just try to keep it to everybody's top three, anyway fire away people!

    I would like the following:

    1. Redesign existing maps to make them fun to play. Most maps are too flat and open, they need different terrain levels and more cover. Existing maps are just not worth playing.

    2. New content (maps, weapons, vehicles)

    3. Specialist redesign nerf wing-suits, remove spot from turrets (remove turrets?), restrict some gadgets to "classes" of specialist etc etc.

    4. Server-browser / persistent lobbies.

    @xTWENTYxONExHourglass can destroy my Xbox series X if enough things blow up and enough vehicles and action occurs while I'm engaged in a vehicle, especially a vehicle that other players are pouring into via respawn. The front of the console gets so hot you can hardly place your hand on the plastic case without getting burned.
    The code is tech bankrupt and the game needed another 6 months of development. We all paid a price, even EA as their stock has dropped 20% since the launch of BF 2042 (yet broad market has dropped only 10%ish), so I suspect some of the drop is due to the annulation of BattleField's twenty year "cash cow" legacy. Sure BF is "only 10%" of EA profits, but over the long term, it is going to hurt and investors are waking up to the fact that Apex is the only thing keeping EA stock afloat, and if EA can screw up BF legacy so badly, how safe is Apex from further future questionable corporate actions?

    I still think the number one priority for DICE should be to add a server browser.

    Having to hang around in lobbies after every round and at times play the same map over and over gets old very quickly.

    MM has killed the whole community aspect which we enjoyed in earlier BF's.

    I really believe the addition of a Server Browser to AOW would be the single thing DICE could do that would be sure to increase the player count.

    That's good to know, I feel a bit more hopeful knowing that it is being requested by others outside the forum, fingers crossed for a result. 👍
