The Server Browser seriously needs some improvements

Here are a few improvements the server browser really needs:

  • Display the filter in a sidebar, with dropdown boxes, instead of opening a separate page (see BFV's quickfilter). This would reduce the amount of clicks required to choose a filter.
  • Remember the last used sort and filter. Currently they are often reset after leaving the server browser, or even after refreshing, requring the user to constantly re-apply them.
  • Allow filters to be saved, so it is possible to quickly switch between multiple filters (see BFV)
  • Allow filtering for multiple regions, player counts and free slots.
  • Allow negating filters (i.e. make it possible to show all servers that don't have a certain tag, map, etc)
  • Servers should not be joined when clicking on them, as this is easily triggered accidentally. Instead add a 'play' button on each row to join a server (see BFV).
  • The ability to view a server's map rotation.
  • An option to favourite a server, both from the server browser and while in a match. If a server is taken down, the entry in the favourites list should instead give you an option to view another server from the same player, if it exists.
  • A list of recently joined servers, following the same behaviour as favourites.
  • The ability to sort by directly clicking on a column header.

    These would be great additions to the server browser. What's worse is that these features are included in previous Battlefields, so Dice knows how to implement them. 

    I'm not sure if you mentioned this, but the server browser should also show official servers. I don't know why they removed that incredibly useful feature.

  • Those additions would be a huge improvement. The browser right now is tough to use and the thing driving me the most nuts is having my filters getting reset all the time. Glad to see I'm not the only one annoyed by that. The really limited filtering is such a pain too.
