RSP-Servers for 2042
Update1: JackFrags & LevelCapGaming have posted a video stating, "BF2042 servers would have persistent Banlist". It would be great if someone from EA/DICE could confirm it. @Straatford87
Update2: We got have a confirmation from @PartWelsh (it was already public) that servers for BF2042 will have persistent Ban list, which looks promising, also it seems
folks at @EADICE are trying some New Ways, which may work out unexpectedly well (for e.g. following server creator). We are hopeful, positive & Excited. Also, the Reveal of BF2042 & BFPORTAL has pumped us all up, while we may have some feedback for the good Devs at DICE & Ripple Effect post public release, we also want to support the positive Waves that this game is creating. Without assuming things before we have even touched the game, we have decided to jump in full support for "Our Battlefield". This is the Year of Battlefield and we will together contribute in that Effort.
Awesome Folks at DICE, Requesting your Kind Consideration
as we desperately need, Servers Hosted in Indian Region & Rent a Server Program for Battlefield 2042, I am sure the entire Battlefield Community feels the same.
We request entire Battlefield Community to "Click - Me Too" if you feel the request is justified. Also, We humbly request to be respectful to the Developers & other Players, while putting your comments/points.
If its true that BF2042 Servers will be like "BFV Community games" then its a heart breaking news for Battlefield Communities. Please find some points below on why we need Rented Servers and not "Free Community Games like BFV". Biggest issues with BFV Free Community Games:
1. No BANLIST (Session only) -These are session only Servers and the session is active only till there are players. Once the session is down, It loses everything including "BAN LIST"
2. No Moderators - Moderators/Admins cannot be added to these servers, the one who hosts the server is the only admin, hence if the host is AFK, Cheaters destroy the server OR the host has to share credentials with other Admin (which actually goes against EA Policies)
3. No Add to Favorites/Bookmark Server Feature - Considering these are session only, servers cannot be added to favorites or bookmarked.
4. Not Stable - Free Community Servers in BFV continuously crash, our community hosts around 3 to 4 instances daily (for 6 months now), the servers crash multiple times in a single day. So far there hasn't been even one full day that Servers didn't crash. This is not the case with BF1 Servers which come at a Price, they are really good. BFV Community games crash because they are free, Nothing comes for Free and its is to be noted that BFV is doesn't even have a fraction of Player Base that we anticipate with Battlefield 2042. If you really want to keep things cheaper for the community, let's reduce the game Price but please give us Rent a Server Program, we don't want Free only Servers.
5. Servers don't have a stable identity. Anyone can simply create a server with with a Community's identity (any name) because its free. Players prefer custom servers as they are associated with the communities they trust. Also, if the host is not online, other players cannot fill up the server as the server doesn't exist, neither can other moderator manage as that doesn't exist.
Other optional Features that we don't stress to get but should be good to have
/VIP List
/Integration of Community Discord with Servers
/URL based Joining into Servers
/API access to create custom discord/other Bots
We are a Community of more than 3,300 active Battlefield Players from one single region and Strongly request DICE to consider RSP as well as servers in our region (India)
As told by Just Wiebe, BF2042 will not have Rent a Server Program, in fact "Servers for BF2042 will be exactly like BFV" i.e. Community Games only
