Mastric has been chatting with E-Gan for a week +, good conversation tonight. Approved, platoon invite sent.

Welcome home @egandler

There was a server issue, most of them crashed. Seems to be resolved.

Latest update:

UPDATE 3:

Will there be RCON or PROCON tools?

• We are commited to developing in-game support for the most popular plugins used with previous Battlefield titles to ensure that admins have similar levels of customization. However, the new RSP servers will not support 3rd party tools like RCON or ProCON. Please stay tuned to the Battlefield channels for more updates.

Why are the prices different for PC and console?

• PC servers will be running at 60Hz, with console servers running at 30Hz. Pricing has been adjusted accordingly. Please stay tuned to the Battlefield channels for more updates.

Are the prices for servers affected by slot-size?

• Server rental prices are not set by slot-size, but the slot-size will vary depending on the mode chosen in the rotation. Please stay tuned to the Battlefield channels for more updates.

More details to come.

If you are live streaming with pants off, I'll be there!

Hello there! Thank you for the application. Jump on our TeamSpeak and get to know us! Most of our members are trying out BF1, but we certainly still have a BF4 presence. Hope to see you on, if the BF4 channel is empty jump down to the BF1 and say hello!

I still don't know... And $130 for ultimate isn't in my budget at the moment. lol

It *should* take effect whenever that script John has runs. What is it twice a day?

What's the cost of that 120hz server monthly?

To be clear, we are absolutely sticking around BF4 for at least the foreseeable future. Unless BF1 goes crazy, which I think would be a shock for most of us, I don't see a switch from one to the other. We will most likely be dipping our toes into BF1, not jumping head first in.

I'm open to a 120hz server. Though am not sure if our current dedicated can handle that in addition to current load, or switching an existing 32 conquest over to 120hz. I'll have to discuss with our council/admins. We have a planned meeting in the next 10 days anyway to discuss what is happening with BF1.

Good Afternoon,

 

I would like to donate a High Tick Rate server to your collection if ATR still plans to stick around BF4. 

 

Reason: Your community is inspiring i have always found your servers the best to play on. I am new to the BF4 PC community i used to play on xbox one. Your active and fair admins make your servers enjoyable. I only see your servers at 30hz, 40hz and one at 60hz. I think you could attract more dedicated PC gamers with a high tick rate server since they like the better registration. As well as there is a very small amount of 120hz servers available to play in.

 

Keep up the great servers they are truly the best available on BF4!!! Its a shame the way BF1 servers are and how badmins may have given the wrong impression.

 

Appreciate the comments. What size (#of players)/mode 120hz server are you most interested in?

I think the issue is when the server restarts the plugin isn't running automatically when it comes back online, because the procon layer hasn't restarted, just the game server. Going to watch it the next couple days, see what I can come up with. You should be good now @I_GotRUSH_I You are also welcome to jump on TeamSpeak for faster responses.

I have to let everyone know how big my weenie is! 

If you are in dire need to share, I accept videos and pictures.

I'll give you contact information if needed. =D

Go Go

Having one team coordinating over voip/teamspeak and saying oh well the other team should just start doing that is pretty unrealistic. And the server staying full despite one team just destroying the other round after round isn't taking into account a large percentage of turn over, people just leaving the server because who wants to get stomped repeatidly, but their spot getting taken because it's a full server so people are trying to join. This shows new players an unbalanced server and a bad experience, and the "regulars" become those that are doing the pub stomping so of course they keep coming back because they always win. 

I hope you keep an eye on the situation and help balance it out and not contribute to a problem. Your win/loss on Rush is about 1/1, bigboss 4/1

All I read here was "Hi I'm Skulls and I like to unbalance things even more by joining and working with Boss"

=D

Working on plugin to make sure Skulls and boss are forced to separate teams now. Muhahahaha

You are welcome to hang out on Teamspeak and play on our servers. However our rules require members to be 18 y/o to join. So have to decline application. But no issue if you want to hang out so long as their are no complaints about maturity.

BTW....Tonight I am waiting in the queue.  Please check...

 

Thanks

Should be resolved. Apologies.  I need to figure out a way to automate restart of procon layers hosted at Branzone which forces a reload of VIP.

We certainly appreciate your support. I understand how you feel. It does get tricky when admins start stepping in and telling people they are not allowed to play together. There are some players in particular on Rush that tend to stack together and we get complaints about. Namely BigB0ss and his crew. I personally am unsure to do about it. There are certainly times I'd like to just ban him so he and his peeps play somewhere else since we can't babysit the server every night. We've warned that team stacking can result in getting kicked/banned. Continue to do so.

Thoughts on what to do?

Ah yeah that is a little dated.

https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/rent-a-server-for-battlefield-1

EA has already said they will be renting servers, and EA will be hosting them sometime after official launch. So the wait continues on when they will be available for rent, and if we have any control on players at all. I'm not buying the game until that happens.

Where do you find this information?

An additional perk we can include is VIP can be setup to not receive server spam (ie all the donate/join ts/become a member etc.)

As we discuss what to do with BF1 and what we're doing with BF4 we will discuss adding both perks to VIP and getting that enabled on the servers. Appreciate your support @I_GotRUSH_I

... nothing to do with the balance plugin.

VIP does not prevent you from getting balanced. It only allows joining a server without waiting in Q.

Though that option exists and could be enabled. Council could consider adding that as a perk to VIP, though there are potential abuse concerns/team stacking etc.

I dunno about this one. =D

I've canceled my pre-order of this game for now. Until they confirm we'll have the control we need to run respectable servers in BF1.

Unable to rent servers before official launch. Still no word on ability to kick/ban players. After waiting so long, this is the puny post they made today.
