Agreed. We had the number one hardcore server in the world for 4 years in bf3 and bf4. When they took away our servers after bf4, we switched to call of duty. We came back in 2042 to the joke that is portal. We ramped up for a new improved portal, and we have a server that is full all the time but its host is in another country so our pings are all 120 or higher, ridiculous. When we try to get a second iteration going to try for a better ping, no matter what time day or night we try, we get that stupid error.
Here is the rub, they basically promised we would have a better experience, but it’s more frustrating than before because we expected it to be better. We have always touted live admin, but we can only have the host admin which is ridiculous. We still do offer it but we have to call the host when we need one. We should be able to have multiple admins. We should be able to start a server without wasting hours if our lives spanking that button. They should have enough servers up, that it can handle all these portal servers. Servers that use their standard settings should get preferential treatment. They should offer an option to pay for vip ability at the very least.
But in the end, we need our 3rd party servers back. We had a programmer that made our bf4 server insane. Type admin it literally paged all admin phones. VIP slots were sold to pay for the server costs. It was amazing, and then they decided to stop I assume because they didn’t want to share their code, which is stupid because the server companies wouldn’t do that, they were making bank. Bottom line, I would pay $120 a month right now to have a server I didn’t have to be as lucky as a lotto wonder to get started. This is a joke and they aren’t acknowledging it at all. Which tells me, they simply do not give a **bleep**. Like call of duty learned after bo6, they will lose their supporters eventually, and they will be the joke, just like cod is right now.
