Hardcore Server

[TurkeyNoise]

So this discussion has been brought up a couple of time, but I just want to get peoples opinions on a hardcore server. I personally love hardcore on BF4 now, and I would love to have a hardcore server.
So I just want to see peoples opinions on what they think about a hardcore server, and if you'd support getting the server, or possibly testing one out, and seeing how well it does.

 

[Tumblin]

I would live in it!

Harcore 32 man servers are the best place to get personal with others in regards to recruiting.

 

[Cirreus1]

I would definitely play on a hardcore server, all of them that i see are usually full so it is definitely a popular game mode, It would just be nice to have one of our own

 

[TurkeyNoise]

Yeah I always found that Hardcore servers are great for recruiting, because the players have experience, and you get to play along with them in battle more.

 

[ThundrRok]

I see 3 so far, recruit moar! and recruit moar hardcore people!

 

[KILLERCANKILL]

I see 3 so far, recruit moar! and recruit moar hardcore people!

this, if you guys want more servers we will need more recruits, simple as that.

I'll point out that it is hard to recruit hardcore people on normal servers. I see this thread as an around about way of asking to change one of the servers to hardcore.

So then lets ask the obvious questions. Can we change 1 to hardcore? If not can we rent out a 4th? server to accommodate hardcore?

 

[LittleAngryDwarf]

hardcore tdm and rush right?

 

[Mr.SaJoRa]

sounds good. lets get a hardcore server.

 

[jtipton.]

Asked for a 32 man hardcore to start with, but was told no one would be interested. So nobody really wants one, you just think you do.

 

[TurkeyNoise]

I just think it would be nice to try out having a hardcore server, TDM, rush, obliteration, conquest, some like 32 slot server just to test out, if it stays filled, it'll be easy to recruit from it if it doesn't stay filled than we can always switch it back.

 

[Boo-Yeah!!]

I would like to see a Hardcore Rush server.

 

[Wizekraker]

I wouldn't mind a hardcore Conquest or Obliteration server, but not rush hardcore.
Im not biggest fan of hardcore or rush....

I have been saying it since BF3 hardcore is great and people play it. As for the game mode to use it with that is a difficult balance. In BF3 there was a great combination of mixed modes. In BF4 there is a bunch of new combinations that are fun and exciting. Hopefully Dice can fix all the problems and make the game stable so it doesn't crash all the time. I would like to see obliteration and conquest in the rotation a mixed mode server with a vote plugin seems to do well. Variety in a server will keep people coming back. A stale server offering one thing or mode wont do much unless that particular player likes that mode or map. Variety is what brings in more people. That's my two cents worth...

My biggest thing is recruiting "exceptional players" comes from server filling. Right now you don't fill a 64 man server. It's either dead or full in 10 minutes with a +10 spec. A 32 man hardcore server that is constantly at 20 players is easy to pull recruits from. We should try it and if the recruits don't start coming in we can pull it.

 

[AFrozenBox]

I would love a hardcore server! It'd be interesting to play around with different modes

 

[fixitquick79]

+1 on hardcore. Any mode really, just as long as it is hardcore.

 

[iMpactX]

Same. I'm tired of emptying a whole clip into someone only for them to get to cover before dying. Or have an rpg lang within 5 feet of them and they live to see another rpg.

If there was a way to keep normal game mode things like a map, ability to see ammo, etc. and just rage the rate at wich damage is given/taken, that could be ideal.


If not I still think hardcore>Normal

I don't find this to be a particularly genuine statement. I play quite a bit of BF4. I have 30 hours in already. I play in the morning, afternoon and night. I play mostly on other servers because the eGO servers are usually full with queues. The only server I ever hear calls to fill is the European server. I am not interested in playing on European servers. I have played on it a couple of times and it's fine, but I would rather play on American servers.

Either way, the reason I don't play eGO servers as much as I'd like is because they're always full with a line of people waiting to play. If our demand is already more than our servers can handle, why do we need more recruits to get more servers?

If I'm missing the boat here can you please let me know when the servers aren't full? I'd love to get on and play. As it stands right now both American servers are full with 2 and 3 person queues. They were like that 2 hours ago when I checked and 2 hours before that the queues were 6 or 8 people deep and 2 hours before that they were 2 and 3 person queues like right now.

**EDIT** I don't mean to sound negative. I'm just frustrated because I try to sneak the game in throughout my day and when I get a half hour to play and try to hop on a server I'm stuck between sitting in a queue for half of the time I have to play or playing on random servers. Then I come on here and people are saying that we need more people to justify having more servers, which I take to mean that they want those queues to be longer. Overall, I've been very happy with our servers, just wish I could get on them more consistently.
