Server Changes!!

[ThundrRok]

Our server settings are being modified over the next several weeks. B2K and TDM are as of now changed, City Maps and Rush will be changed when the DLC has been released.

B2K Changes:

Settings:
30% Vehicle Respawn Time

Maps:
No change

TDM Changes:

Changing from TDM to Large Conquest

Settings:
Normal -> Hardcore

Maps:
All Conquest Vanilla and B2K Maps excluding Metro

------------------------------------------------------------------

For the FUTURE, When CQC is released!

City Maps

Changing from Hardcore to Normal Mode

New Maps means New Gamemode:

->Gun Master and Conquest domination

Maps:

-Removing current rotation
->Adding all the new Close Quarters Maps

* These settings will likely bounce back/merge to the current City Map settings

Rush

Maps:

->Adding the new Close Quarters Rush Maps (if they exist)


These updates are subject to change as maps may or may not be fun/popular.

------------------------------------------------------------------
The Why!

TDM has been changed to Large Conquest Hardcore for several reasons. Beginning with it has becoming our lowest ranked server, sliding in at 1800. This being the case we have taken your suggestions and here we have a Hardcore server, with nearly every map on it. Unfortunately, from our information (google) CQB will not be released as a 64 player map and can not be added to this server.

City Maps will be changed to the new configurations as we all want to try out these new game modes, and maps. It's server will be re-evaluated afterwards to fine tune the settings for maximum awesomeness. Adding good maps (ones people like) and removing the bad ones, will likely occur with this server. This is heavily dependent on your feedback to us.

We have not seen a confirmed source that there are indeed Rush maps in this expansion, if there is, they will be loaded onto the Rush server.

If you have any questions, please post to this thread, and I can answer.

TL;DR B2K 30% Vehicle respawn time, TDM 64 changed to HC Conq 64 server all maps except Metro, HC City maps will be Normal CQC DLC Mixed Mode [Gunmaster & Conq. Domination] (when released)

as long as the good old city maps like bazaar and siene come back to the city maps server later on, im fine with this.

Well TDM is changing to HC conquest so, theres that, which is awesome btw. And arent city maps already CQ pretty much?

 

[Mr.SaJoRa]

sounds pretty good to me. cant wait to give it a shot soon.

No, because of the popularity with Rush, it's mostly rush with some added CQ.

In general i am placing my judgement on hold, whitout trying you can't judge right.

But personally:
- metro stays metro
- b2k => i wish this was hardcore but i am already glad we keep it
- tdm => large conquest hardcore: tdm wasnt doing good so getting rid off it isnt a big loss if i understand thundrok correctly the map will contain all vanilla large conquest maps, like seine crossing, grand bazaar, operation firestorm,caspian border, tehran highway.

Personally i dont know yet if i'll play this server a lot cause i aint a fan off a few maps (large grand bazaar and large seine) but i'll give it a chance.
- City maps:
this makes me upset cause it contains my favorite maps on it, also we're losing 16 slots on this server cause close quarters has max off 16 slots so we'll have all the 4 new clq maps in a 16 slot gungame/conquest domination server while we loss something else valuable.
- Rush: currently there's no close quarter rush mode and i strongly hope and think it wont get released either cause hardcore rush is one off our most stabile servers. so changing that server i dont think is a good thing.

In general i am a bit disapointed i thought it was fair to say tdm would be changed but the other servers were doing reasonable.
Guess i'll evaluate my opion after testing out.

I'm looking forward to these changes, hopefully it helps us be able to keep the servers populated as much as possible.

The New HC conquest also Contains all of the B2K Large Conquest maps, so you still get your HC B2K.

I've googled around, and I can say that there WILL be Rush mode. And by my understanding there should be support for 32 players, not just 16. This is the assumption we have made. Like I said originally, if something changes, or there are problems (max size 16 players) we will change the plans, and make something that everyone will enjoy.

TDM was 1.8 k rank, City Maps is about 1.0k, we are not changing rush, merely adding content, and if you are disappointed with City Maps, rest assured, it will be re-merged a with the current City Maps settings.

so if we decide to merge the normal city map rotation with the CQB maps would i still be able to play on the server even if i don't have the dlc?

Yes, for the maps that aren't DLC, when/if it switches to DLC maps, BF auto drops players without it on a Per Map basis

hmm good question, i dont think it will let you join the server but not sure.

It will let you join the server for maps that are not DLC, but drop you when those maps load

Sorry to say this but so the servers are all going to have to have the DLC just to play on them? will we just have a vanilla server where it does not require B2K or any other DLC for that matter? Correct me if I am wrong. I just skimmed through this briefly while I am in school.

Just remember guys these server changes are in response to CQB being released and the unpopularity of TDM as a 64-slot server. We always invite dropbox feedback or posts for server suggestions and consider every one of them before making our changes.

Please. Please. Remember these changes will be fine tuned as required. We understand that not everyone has the B2K or CQB DLC. If this is a problem please send us a PM or dropbox about your concerns. If this becomes a major issue leadership will take your needs for a vanilla server into consideration.

Please provide suggestions or feedback if you have any so we may fine tune the servers to try and meet everyone's needs.

 

[BRAVO51]

i have an idea, leadership should buy everyone all of the dlcs....jkjkjk

 

[Hurley_Reyes]

Aw man. Just as I feared-CQC maps are being added!

Yes. I completely see what you mean. But there are those normal pubs who dont have B2K and then theirs some of us eGO players who dont have it either. I am not saying I do not have B2K because I do. I am also going to get the Subscription thingy that just came out aswell. I am just seeing what others might think about this and how it will affect them.

 

[DatSurferguy]

yes cqc settings

 

[PBJ]

Surprisingly, I actually enjoy the new setup.

ty for your response,

Whit this beeing clarified i do wonder why we'll have 2 large conquest servers one beeing hardcore all and the other not beeing hardcore b2k, there isnt much difference then between those 2 servers.
Besides if i understand correctly that only leaves metro for our vanilla players.
unless they want to get kicked out off games from time to time which is annoying probably for them.
