The old scoreboard
Please bring back the old scoreboard showing kills, deaths, score, ping etc of all people in the server. The new one is too messy, unclear and doesn't show me useful information or just too little in...

@CyberDymePerhaps you might want to change the "we need" to "I want" and even then....
Of course a scoreboard as shown is 'nice' to have but not essential to everyone's enjoyment of the game.
Sure @Trokey66 - DONE! Despite we could pull the binary identity out of the bag and insist to keep 'we need' as the rightful phrase for us to use no matter. 😎
Some players may enjoy to play with high pinging lagging bullet sponges, so for them it is not important to have visibility to such info for the server admins to keep the servers playable. For me/us, it is however a reoccurring annoyance to play with extreme high pingers on our European servers. Hence my plea, can we please get the scoreboard with the pings listed.
I ran a thread some months back asking what our fellow BF gamers considered a reasonable ping to connect and play the BF game at, and what they considered what a reasonable max ping limit should be. Now probably because the PC players have had this visibility and even the ability to hardcode the acceptable max ping into their server parameters in the past, then the PC players mainly honed in on just 80-100milli seconds as the absolute top ping range for acceptable. While the console players allowed a bit higher range, up to like 130-140ms for the most part. But reality is that we in recent years on consoles have seen a huge influx of far out of region players even abusing the poor game mechanics, despite resulting in totally flooding the server with lag, missing hit registrations and server crashes.
Based on that, the PC players will be horrified by the resulting lagging gameplay and hit registration if now starting to crossplay with consoles, especially if there are no reasonable max limits set. And if we have no visibility, do you think EA will actually set up sufficient servers worlds wide?
I for one would want visibility and transparency on this!
@CyberDyme Having ping on scoreboards in any server other than a 'private' one doesn't help beyond confirming that the server is suffering.
There is little we can do other than suck it up or find a new server.
The only way that can be remotely 'fixed' in official servers is to not close regional servers reducing the need to play OOA.
Also, at the end of the day, there are those that will deliberately play OOA to try and gain the advantage you mention above.

Much agree with you! 👍
I will depending on the experience on the core servers probably spend most of my BF2042 gaming time on the Portal servers. Reason why I am eager that the server admins get the tools they need to make it an enjoyable experience to play on the servers there.
Indeed the need for EA to keep having local servers running 24/7 is obvious. Question is however if they will, as it costs a bit more $ for them to do so. EA have run cheap on aka Africa, India, Middle East and South America in recent years. Even Japan. Causing a huge migration of their players to go far out of region to connect with live servers. So even on public DICE servers you cannot tell for sure if EA serve us reasonably if not having visibility onto player's ping, as that will tell us if EA no matter player origin still just stack all players onto the same few servers EA may provide for our gaming.

- @ragnarok013 Don't disagree but it isn't essential, in BF4 and before we just assumed high pingers and left if a server didn't feel right, ping in the scoreboard just confirms it with the same result though.

How do you see we are to report the glitchers/hackers to EA during gameplay then if no list of all the players and unique link to server and specific gameround?
Because if EA now take away our ability to even tag those players to a specific game round and report straight from there then all the unique evidence is thrown out the window.
It is an absolute no-go the more I think about the consequences if we do not have a full scoreboard for the active games!
If EA are serious about stepping up the fight against- and to keep cheaters out of this game, of course they need to make it direct and easy to report them including solid and undisputable evidence.
