Plz add the server browser

I think the server browser is the best solution to improve players' experiences. I'm bored to play with bots. EA should add it to BF6.

Hi there,

I'm happy to let you know that Server Browser will enter Battlefield Labs testing ahead of its planned release in Season 5 as part of Phase 3, giving players an early opportunity to try the feature and help us refine the experience.

We are also exploring how the Server Browser can support a more persistent match flow, make it easier to remain with other players between rounds, and complement the existing matchmaking experience.

We will share a closer look at the Server Browser interface and the options available for finding servers as Battlefield Labs testing approaches. For now, here’s what we can share with you on our progress.

danisoff It already exists in BF6.

The server browser exists for portal. I'm referring to a server browser like we had in Battlefield 4, this is what the community in general refers to when mentioning a server browser Ty_Ger07.

For me the issue runs deeper with the absence of server rentals, as we had in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. This topic is closely tied to the points mentioned above, I have written about this in the past extensively.

I too have written extensively on this. I think you are mistaken.
Yes, I understand. Official servers inside a server browser, yes? That exists in BF6 currently. I just described some of what exists, in this thread, in many paragraphs, with pictures, 5 hours ago.
Please detail what in BF3 and BF4 doesn't exist in BF6. Besides the ability to rent a server and some admin controls, what is missing? You now get most of those admin controls and many servers, for no extra cost.
Matchmaking and browsing servers are competing methods. Both exist in BF6.
Saying the server browser exists "in Portal", is a strange statement. Portal (relating to BF) isn't a game. Portal is a website where you upload content. There is no server browser in Portal. The server browser exists in the game, not Portal, in the community section. All servers that aren't matchmake servers are in the community section and are visible in the server browser under their applicable filters.
From my perspective there are primarily 2 things BF6 is missing related to a server browser.
Whatever messaging or outreach is necessary to cause people to stop believing that a server browser is absent.
Whatever incentive or motivation is necessary to cause people to use the server browser, that most definitely exists, to join official servers, that most definitely exist. And likewise, challenge and weapon unlock incentive to utilize the server browser to join games that aren't official.

You can see that everything anyone has so far said that they are missing, already exists. What am I missing?
I think it may be a generational thing. Or simply laziness. Or simply wanting something to complain about. I'm not sure.
danisoff , I don't know what a Hero+ is, but I hope that you will assist in spreading true information, rather than perpetuating the belief that so far whatever people have described in this thread as a BF6 desire, doesn't already exist in BF6.
If you said that you don't like the BF6 server browser because it gives you too many options, I can get behind that. If you said that the grindy BF6 game mechanic created too many garbage and broken xp farm and afk servers which should now be deleted, I agree. But to pretend that the content from past games and abilitity to find it in BF6 doesn't exist, suggests that you never tried looking for it. The content you miss still exists, you are now just more reliant on filters to find it, because the default everything filter will give you more garbage than past games due to the incentive that created that garbage in BF6.

  Please read the last post closely. I understand that you’re trying to present your view, but take the time to consider the bigger picture and what is actually being called for Ty_Ger07.
  
  I will refrain from further commenting, as the conversation appears to be heading in a less constructive direction.

    A vague belief with no concrete explanation of what you want, will get no one anything.
    I believe the servers in BF3 and BF4 also exist in BF6. I also believe that all the functionality (and more! ....mining data about other servers from the same creator, how many servers are online, how many people total are playing in all the servers, and everyone's version of the same server, who they are, and what name and description they chose....) of the server browsers in BF3 and BF4 exist in BF6. If you don't want to discuss specifics, I don't know what anyone expects to change.
    Maybe the existing server browser has too many options? Maybe it is too powerful? Maybe someone needs to create an Instagram or TikTok video explaining how to use it? Is that what we have come to? Maybe they need a check box that says "official" to only show verified-mode servers with full XP, because it is too hard to click 3 things and use a filter? Is that what we have come to? But then, you just don't care about all the other creators who spend a week making something cool and get no representation unless highlighted in social media?
    The only negative direction of this discussion is an apparent attempt to stop the discussion.
    I hope we can at least agree that there is a server browser, official servers are in the server browser, and matchmake servers aren't in the server browser for good reason. The first two things are fact, and God help the developer who attempts to add matchmake servers to a server browser and faces the wrath of players who join servers that no longer are what they used to be.
