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
Computer games are complex. Especially on PC all the different system configurations there's out there can give specific errors for each configuration, you can't expect game company employees to know it all, sure general problem, but obscure problems and technical issues with specific hardware etc. no. Also, are you stuck in game where you can't find out a pussle etc. can you expect the game company to help, no. That's what Answer HQ is for, it's a place where the community helps the community with what it can actually help with and tries to reward the community for doing it.
For general support there's still EA support (help.ea.com).
I agree that DICE/EA is generally bad at centralising bugcollection + acknowledging, sorting and asking for help with errors, but that doesn't diminish the value of Answer HQ. Just because other areas of EA/DICE's community management could be way better doesn't mean you should treat this place badly.
In other words, I've pointed you in the right direction, you might not like the quality of the direction but that doesn't make it less right.
I also miss the days you could communicate with developers, sadly, developers are expensive and since games like these now have millions of users you can't have them answering questions from the community all the time. I agree that the way they do it now should be better, but now we are circling back around 🙂
So basically I am right...just did some research, for many game modes and regions there are no OFFICIAL HOSTED SERVERS provided by Dice/EA...
Wow...?! That is just inexcusable. Dice/EA sells you a game, that as a selling point has optional modes to play the game, yet they do not provide servers to play those modes to the player base.
You have to rent your own and set that mode or play on someone else's rented server that has that mode preset /DISGUSTED
So, EA has made a game with alot of gamemodes and combinations. Lets look at it
- 5 expansion rotations + original maps = 6
- 14 game modes
- small / large map = 2
- Normal, infantry, hardcore and classic preset.
All of these in 7 continents on 5 platforms
Lets calculate the combination possibilities:
6*14*2*4*7*5
=
23.520 servers
So, what you are saying is that EA/DICE should use electricity, buy hardware and manpower to maintain 23.000+ servers where only the few popular combinations will be used?
We could also turn it around and say, if EA/DICE are forced to create a server for each combination they would have to severely limit the posibilities of those who buy and create servers = say hello to a severely limited game.
You are acting like this has never been done properly before by another gaming company in any other online FPS. Or by Dice/EA themselves in the past! You act like EA has not made a killing off this franchise and are strapped to provide servers for their player base...DERP
If they set up at least one or two servers for each of the modes they have designed for the game and then have a matchmaking system set up to fill those hosted servers for that mode things would be ALL GOOD.
I do not see why folks like you try your very hardest to blindly defend every mistake and greedy decision that Dice/EA makes? Are you on EA's pay roll? If not why are you so adamant about defending a company that is notorious for screwing over their customers?
All of this conjecture between us still does not negate the fact that for even the more popular game modes(RUSH) there are no DICE/EA official hosted servers in my region, so yeah...not sure why you still keep arguing with me.
You're right, this is * stupid. There is no reason I should have to play on a rented server where some douche makes his own rules like "no cursing or intolerant language in this RATED M GAME". AND THEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT BTW
Damn you * this dudes day up 😃
