Where are the Dice official servers for PC?
Just got the game on PC after struggling thru the worst gaming experience in my life, which was BF4 on PS3. The game looks AMAZING but still plays kinda crappy...although not as bad as on last gen....
Forum Discussion
What? A rented server thats presets are "Official" is not tha same as an Offical server provided by Dice/EA. I do not want to play on a server someone has rented and can kick/ban, do with as they please. Did you not read what I said?
Also these rented servers are always full of clans, which is not fair to players that join that are not communicating/playing together. This is "Pub Stacking", and basically farming noobs.
So yeah where are the OFFICIAL servers? Not the ones that someone has rented and kept the presets as "official" but is still pub stacking and badmin'ing...
They cannot ban/kick if the server preset is set to Official.
That still is not an answer as to why there are no Dice/EA hosted servers for many game modes...Classic mode NO SERVERS Infantry only NO SERVERS...Why are you just trying to argue semantics and not answer the question?
I should not have to play on a server that someone is paying to rent if I do not want to. There should be servers in my region hosted by the company that sold me the game. That are not pubstacked by clans and high level players just waiting to pounce on noobs.
There also should be a matchmaking system filling the hosted servers with players of like skill level. Like every other online FPS in history has had!
I really thought getting BF4 on PC would make the gaming experience better. It has not... the server support on PC is worse than it is on consoles.
How did Dice/EA screw Battlefield up so bad? They have fragmented the community with premium, lost all respect from their customers with how poorly BF4 has performed since release and how BAD the support has been since said HORRIBLE launch.
Oh and P.S.- as of right now in my region there is only one rented server for RUSH that has a normal "official" preset and it is actually hosted by Canadians so not really my region. So yeah Like I said where are all the OFFICIAL DICE/EA HOSTED SERVERS?!!!
I just answered what could be answered on a community based, mostly technical, support forum. It's not called "EA/DICE official responses to questions by the community" but that would be very awesome if it existed.
As for the rest of your question, my best guess is that DICE/EA was happy with the amount of official servers out there and saw no reason to have their own. If you would like to ask DICE/EA about it I would suggest BF4 Twitter, Facebook, Google+ pages or Battlelog. Alternatively there might be someone in here who has read an official statement about this somewhere and can tell us - time will tell 🙂
I love how all of EA's sites are set up to not have anyone around to answer the questions that ACTUALLY need answering. Like this site for example what is the point of this site supposed to be? To have the community do Dice/EA's job for them? Because they do not want to pay people to actually give folks definitive technical advice on the problems they are experiencing.
Everyone one of the sites you mentioned has mods that are language babysitters and nothing else. I have been on BF forums since BF2, before Battlelog even existed. You used to be able to get on and ask devs questions DIRECTLY. They were open with the community and appreciated feedback. Now Dice/EA has fostered this "us against them" attitude and cannot even be bothered to release full patch notes!
What happened? When a game franchise makes TONS of money from it's customers shouldn't the support and quality of the game get BETTER?

I don't really know how this really works as I am new to gaming, but I just been kicked from an "OFFICIAL" server. So please explain how and why?

In the server browser filters there are settings for "official" and settings for "ranked" and "unranked". If the server is set to official the admin cannot kick or ban or make rules (since even if he did he can't kick or ban). The only thing an admin can do is change map\game mode stuff like that. So if you want the normal battlefield experience without the admins enforcing their will only select "official" mode servers.
This entire thread is ridiculous and annoying, and here is why.
OP expects DICE (Developers) to answer on Answers HQ (A forum for the players to help players), if OP was so worried about talking with DICE he would know that to get official support on Battlefield 4 you use Battlelog Forums or EA Support, and yes developers answer and supply support on Battlelog Forums, not Answers HQ.
OP expects EA/Dice to supply thousands of servers, saying other companies have done it in the past. This is ridiculous, there's no company in the world that supplies thousands of servers for their games, they all use P2P systems and dedicated servers, with a few dozens they host themselves like EA/Dice did with Battlefield 4.
To make matters worse, EA/Dice has done a great job on adding Official Servers tag to any servers that use vanilla settings. Meaning on this Official servers the Admins can only change the maps/gamemodes, and EA/Dice along with Punkbuster are the only ones with rights to kick/ban players.
No offense, but I think OP is everything besides mature, coming with false accusations and flame towards EA/Dice with no knowledge at all about what he is talking about. Plus he refuses to listen and keeps flaming, so yes, this thread is ridiculous.
