Request to bring back persistent servers

I have constantly been getting stuck in cycles of playing the same few maps every time I play this game. Often back to back or one map change then back to the same map I just played on. 

Another issue that arises from non-persistent servers is that teams are inconsistently balanced. BF1 rebalanced the lobby after every game. It made matches feel much more fair and consistent. 

Additionally, if I am searching for Conquest games, why does the game randomly throw me into another game mode? I was playing Conquest with the map order of: Empire State -> New Sobek City -> Empire State and then Operation Firestorm but it was Escalation, not Conquest.

So many issues in this game would be fixed with persistent servers. Why do we not have them?

    Matches were always more balanced, more fun, and having a consistent map rotation was a godsend. Please Battlefield Team, bring these back. Portal is not the solution.

    We call it server browser and official servers here...but I agree 100%. Bring them back.

    I just don’t want to get words twisted. Since we already have a “Server Browser” (that is filled with empty “full XP bot lobbies”) and “official servers” (that disband at the end of each game).

  • Hi Ogrenugget,

    I've merged two of your threads together, just because it seemed like they were about the same thing. 

  • Every new title the Neu DICE pretends that Battlefield never existed until the Neu DICE starter working on the NEU BF title. 

    Please stop taking shortcuts and please stop reinventing the wheel. We know you want to make your mark on the franchise. Right now most of those marks are brown stains, if you get my meaning. 

    • Server Browser
    • Deep, narrow Trenches in objective capture areas ala BF1 that offer actual cover for infantry from enemy snipers and infantry bent tanks that are 200 yards away. Do you not see how trenches are everywhere in Ukraine and Russia today? To include inside cities! 

    • Map rotations ala BF4, BF1, and BFV. 

    • Buildable fortifications for on objectives Ala BFV. 

    • Buildable ammo crates on objectives ala BFV. 

    • Time pre match or between rounds ala all previous BF titles so we can grab a drink or use the restroom! Stop catering to ZERO ATTENTION SPAN Fortnite kids and COD bois. It’s gross and so obvious. 

    • Stop forcing us to spawn in at the beginning of every match and give squads more time to sort out their gear and who is running what class for that specific map LIKE WE CAN DO IN ALL PREVIOUS BF TITLES. Again why reinvent the wheel??

    Once BFV balanced attrition, that game was phenomenal. I miss buildable fortification, it made it so you could refortify a destroyed objective, leading to much more dynamic firefights. 

    This new BF team is moving in the right direction with Battlefield Labs. Hopefully they keep listening to the community
