Give a lobby vote to start with 10 players or something....
Sometimes I hop on the ps4 version and it's a long wait.
I just quit the game even though I want to play some more.
In Team Deathmatch, which needs 4 players to start, we were 3 people just waiting, waiting, waiting.
After 5 minutes I gave up.
I guess EA/DICE don’t care that this is a problem because this thread for sure means they know about it.
They just choose not to change it.
Weird but ok, I will go watch Netflix then :D
It is probably a battle between ongoing (server) costs, and development costs/future earnings (new BF).
Seems a little strange, since EA are obviously targeting current/past players with the new BF, as well as new players.
Customer loyalty is far more important in this era of video games, than it was say 10 years ago. Then, a company could disrespect the player base knowing that they would flock back to the next 'big thing'.
Not anymore. I will be interested to see how many current/past players pre-order or buy day 1. My guess - significantly fewer that any previous games.
Imho all players should have access at all times, and with the player base shrinking they really need to make it easier for all players to get into matches.
There is nothing worse than endlessly waiting for lobbies to reach the required number of players, only to see players give up in frustration.
I strongly believe we need one player starts, backfilled with AI in all game modes in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences.
