New BF3 Server Configs

[Vertago]

As I am sure you have all noticed our server configurations have been changed. Over the past few weeks most of our 64 player servers have been mostly empty. We have had members try to fill them but to no avail. So we (Leadership) decided to change them based on some research of what does well for other communities and this is what we came up with. As a note, these configurations are not final (maps/settings) and will be discussed at an upcoming Divisional Meeting which we will announce soon. So here they are and start filling...

=(eGO)= 24/7 HC Rush Rotation

No changes made to server

=(eGO)= 24/7 Metro/Bazzar Infantry Conquest

This server was previously 24/7 Operation Metro, we added Grand Bazzar and changed a few settings. It has all normal settings (FF: Off, 3d Spotting: ON, HUD: On, etc.) but Soldier Health is set to 60% which is the same as Hardcore Settings. The Ticket count has also been reduced to 600 per round with one round maps.

=(eGO)= 24/7 Team Deathmatch

This server was previously 24/7 Air Maps. With this server we changed the game mode to Team Deathmatch due to the request of a few members and reduced the player count to 32. Ticket count is set at 200 per round with 1 map rotations. The current map list is: Grand Bazzar, Caspian Border, Noshar Canals, Seine Crossing, and Operation Firestorm, which is subject to change based on feedback.

=(eGO)= 24/7 Hardcore Conquest

The only change made to this server is that the server will be on a one round per map rotation instead of two.

Was on the TDM server earlier had some fun and some rage of course, so far I think this config will certainly help the division out a bit but I'm still so iffy about Hardcore mode in general in BF3. I won't dive into the reasons because they should be somewhat in plain sight and I don't want to cause any rage.

That is good to hear Vert, it has been a nightmare this past month since the battlefield hype has worn off, lets fill these servers and get our rank up.

As a reminder to all members, please help fill the server and stop joining other servers, we can never get our servers filled if everyone goes to different servers.

 

[Techjj1]

I like it!

Bring back the 24/7 Regular 64 player Conquest and you'll see me on the eGO servers again. I don't have a whole lot of time to play right now due to swim season, and I'd rather spend what time I have to play on servers that I will enjoy, rather than trying to fill an HC server.

eGO is my home, and you guys are my division, but while we have 24/7 metro and HC everything, you won't see me on our servers until I have more spare time to help fill.

 

[forty2skates]

Still got HC Rush? Good, I'm covered.

 

[Punch2Face]

I had so much fun today on TDM lol. That was a blast. I'll definitely be playing that one =D

seconded, i work all morning and when i get back, i just want to have fun so i started playing on a pub server that had the exact conquest settings i liked since we could not get servers started and stay full (not to mention majority of our servers are now hardcore which i will not play), and i cant stand metro anymore i always get headaches playing there. but i got a pile of games from the steam christmas sale to pile through before coming back to bf3

We have 4 servers available to our Division, with the huge variation of game types/ map rotations/ and settings, we can't possible make everyone pleased with the server selection, so we have to appease to the majority, and unfortunately for the members that enjoy normal mode, Hardcore mode seems to be the most popular and most requested style of server from our members, it sucks that you have to go to a pub server, but that's just the way it is.

All we ask is if you see our server with a low pop on it, join it to help fill it up, ever since the holiday drop off our servers have been pretty empty and we have had a very difficult time trying to fill them up again. So please, help us out and play on our servers.

Randy I understand your point but HC servers are much more easier to fill and are way more popular also. Just as a testament to that fact, Killzone runs all its server on hardcore settings and they constantly remain full. Normal is fun for sure but with so many people wanting to play recon, hardcore is the only way to go. But yes like you I like playing on normal also.

On a side note I feel that the Air Maps server would have done well if it was only Firestorm and Caspian and hardcore also.

Normal is fun for sure but with so many people wanting to play recon, hardcore is the only way to go.

I thought people gave up on recon.

eGO is not the majority that fills the 64 player servers, pubs are. my friends list is filled with eGO members playing on pub servers, (already drop boxed my opinion) if a bunch of our members are not playing on our servers and our servers are not staying full late at night, the problem lies in the server config choice. If eGO members would rather play on pubs than our servers then something is clearly not working, unlike how it was with the original configs that stayed full with our 2 normal servers being full well more often than the HC one.

nope still going, working on the SV98 for now lol

 

[Vertago]

Please do not turn this thread into a Hardcore vs Normal Discussion like the last one. If you have an issue with our current server settings pls bring it up at the Divisional Meeting or Submit a dropbox post.

Again...as stated in the original post "these configurations are not final (maps/settings) and will be discussed at an upcoming Divisional Meeting which we will announce soon."

 

[LilShortstuf]

Woops I'm an idiot. Yeah the metro/bazaar server may change to more infantry only stuff soon.

 

[InkSix]

I try to fill TDM when I have the time. If anything it lets me do some screwing around by myself for a while, lol.

 

[Panzer1509]

TDM server? Nice!

What I dont get though is, you're saying its 32 player but it only displays 24???

Plus one, good sir.

If we can't even expect our leadership to fill our servers, who do we look to? Please don't be offended, but I've seen multiple leaders of this division on 24/7 Bazaar servers ENCOURAGING our other members to play there and refusing to fill our servers. That's simply an observation. Now we have a Metro/Bazaar rotation, so maybe this won't be an issue.

I've played on a few other servers, but I never play without our crew. Many members are getting tired of filling the servers. Funny thing is, if we filled it and kept it full overnight, we wouldn't have to continually fill them. Let's get Metro/Bazaar back up to rank 125. Last I checked, it had dropped over 300.

 

[Sexy Smexy]

24/7 TDM.. Cool idea. :thumbup1:

24/7 Metro/Bazaar Infantry Only.. Whoever decided this.... Cool Job! :thumbup:

Can't wait to try both servers out in 2 weeks!

 

[Severend]

Looks good, Hopefully I'll get the time soon and be able join you all. Miss playing with you guys life just gets busy sometimes
