Empty servers and 160ms ping threshold (North America and all regions)

Hey @iSharKoSanty Thanks for the report and feedback, could you take a screnshoot of your filter settings. So we can see what you have it set.

Hello @EA_Atic

I do not think the problem is in how I have configured the server filter options. I have it to show games with players and not empty servers.

The problem is that many regions are running out of players and the servers are empty (this has a lot of time going on), but at least before you could find a server in another region with an acceptable ping and play all perfectly.

Also with the threshold of ping to 160ms as they added in the March 2017 patch they limited the community and if you do not find a server in your region, searching in another region is playing badly and with a difficulty to hit the enemy. That did not happen until that patch arrived.

I try to play many times a 24-player game mode with 165 to 175ms and it's really frustrating to play like that.

I do not know what's going to happen on the way we're going, it will be impossible to enjoy BF1 in a short time there will be nothing left to choose from to play.

This is happening in practically all regions. The images are from the servers in North America, if that's how those servers are, imagine how are other smaller regions with fewer players. The only region that is saved and find servers is Europe.

We were all happy playing BF1 before the March 2017 patch where they added the ping threshold to 160ms, after that they fragmented and divided the whole community.

Hopefully this can be improved

Hello @EA_Atic

Here I attach the image of my server filter

At what time are serching for this? 

This is what I got searching it now with the same filter as you (its not really peak time in the US). 

For the 160 ping "threshold" that was added to Battlefield 1, don't stop you to play the game. You will notice lag more in the game if you are above 160 ping but you can still play.

Hi @EA_Atic

All the images that you send showing the servers are taken between 6pm and 10pm, some were taken on Friday and Saturday where the peak of active players is higher (Screenshot 2018/01/20). (The only one that was not taken at that time is the one sent yesterday showing the server filter) I must have some more screenshots

Coquest and Operations is found all the time on servers with base and mixed maps, the DLC separately servers are not included except apocalypse that for now is in conquest. The new air assault mode I could not play even once.

Many of the photos only show the full servers in North America of 24-player modes like rush, domanition, war pigeon and frontlines.  Very few servers full RUSH that is a classic the maximum that I find is 2 servers, war pigeon a long time ago that the game does not find server and frontlines in the base maps impossible to play it.

The image you took was not the peak time of players, but it is not far from reality. Add more conquest servers and operations, for which 24-player modes is more or less the amount that is normally found. Rush servers 0

I know that the ping threshold is not a limitation to play you can enter a server with a ping of more than 160ms and play game after game, but it is really frustrating to play like that. You must calculate much more each shot to get hit the enemy in motion, while they shoot normally.

It is not the same to play with 159ms where you hit the hits normally and play with 165ms, 170ms or 175ms, where the game already feels totally different. It's really frustrating to play like that, I try to play many times like that in a game mode that loves war pigeon but it's not the same.
