Hardcore Server

[KILLERCANKILL]

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.

That is true that the servers are full quite a lot but to get more servers we as a division need to show that we are growing not only on server rankings but also on our numbers. Recruits keep the community fresh and are key in making sure that we remain strong in our future. If we can show council that on top of excellent server rankings we are pulling a good number of recruits every month, we will have no problems in getting more servers. As a BF player I would love to see 10 BF4 servers but we have to earn them. Every recruit counts so we require all our members to try their best. Its as easy as inviting someone to vent to hang out and showing them all what we have to offer. BF Leadership is also answerable to council and higher ups before we can get a new server, and for us to have a good pitch we our division members to help us out.

I'm in. I want to see a hardcore server, or any new server for that matter. Who are the division's top recruiters? I admit I have never really recruited much and I want to learn how to get a ton of people in so that I can see some new servers.

 

[Tumblin]

Your pitch is, "Hardcore server = recruits". Until then I am banging my head against a wall in our normal 64 man server. I have spoken with over 200 pubbers 1 on 1 with 5 potential; however 0 have signed up so far.

You gotta encourage, remind them. When I was recruiting during the summer, some would forget so I would remind them, tell what we have to offer..

The reason for recruits= more servers even though our server are packed right now is because we are a week out from release. We are still in what I like to call the honeymoon period. People still love the game and want to play it no matter what since it just released. In a week or two that will die out and we will truly see how popular our servers are. As such I think it would be detrimental to add another server to our line up. (P.S. Typed this while drunk and it came out coherent. Hell yes!)

 

[KILLERCANKILL]

Fyi servers are empty right now so its tough to make a case for a 4th when 3 of them are empty. We need much more stability in our servers before we can voutch for a new server.

 

[thelordofruins]

I like Hardcore

I like hardcore, and I never recruit "normal" people. Most of my recruits are like the rainman. Or notorious international hackers. So...

How many would you like?

 

[TurkeyNoise]

I'm not saying for a 4th server right now, I'm asking if it would be possible to try out having one of the servers as hardcore, and I would gladly play on it, and recruit all day long on it, if it doesn't stay full after awhile, than it is simple to switch it back.

 

[Onslaught]

Wow just wow. I am just dumbfounded by leadership. Don't get me wrong I love the leadership we have and I know without them the BF division wouldn't be what it is today. However, I for one am kind of getting mixed feelings about this whole situation right now. I don't know what to think of it. I don't mean to hurt anyone by saying this but I think it needs be said. Why is recruiting so important? What does it accomplish? I know it is important so both the division and eGO can grow. Hopefully some actually stay and become contributing members to eGO. Even better some might even become dedicated supporters of eGO. All that aside I believe that is just a small part of eGO. I believe eGO is a lot more than that.

The lack of leadership listening to the community over this hardcore server issue is unnerving. We are not asking for another server. Just change one of the US servers to hardcore. We have 2 US servers we don't need them both to be normal servers! That is all we are saying. I don't think anybody in this thread had asked for another server.

If our server is good, we will get regulars, even if they aren't members. We can recruit, but bribing us with a new server by recruiting is weird. Allowing an e to become an eGO in seemingly one day, 15 recruits later is something that confused me. I dont come from this division and I don't know how things are usually run. I'm not trying to stir up trouble, I'm just confused on things right now.

 

[Krod Mandoon]

hmm this is a bit off topic but I have been away from the forums for some time now and I must say, this is kinda of interesting to read. I remember the last time I was active and always lobbying for more normal mode servers and now its the other way around, heh

The times sure have changed. I remember those times well Krod. Also it helps that they fixed the damage modifiers for normal from BC2. Vietnam normal was awesome though.

Remember when getting an O took hard work, dedication, and months of effort? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

But seriously, this.

well artimus himself closed the thread with recruiting=ranking up in eGO. i was honestly surprised to see it in the first place.

aside from that i have to agree with shortstuf. right now ppl dont care where they are playing as long as they are playing the game. the game is new, ppl are trying to figure out their favorite maps and game modes. i think once dice figures out how to stop crashes (server and clientside) is the time when ppl actually have a closer look on the servers themselves. how does a server run, any lag, how long is it filled a day, are there nice guys on there etc. lets be there to fill the servers when things settle down and if we can keep that up we will get another server

until then maybe we can mess around with the locker server. until crashes are gone and the game has been out for a month we could change some stuff and see how it goes. ppl are always angry there cause one team gets crushed. i personally would like to see an obliteration server cause the gamemode is alot of fun (with maybe 30 min timelimit). maybe have a poll with the most requested modes and have the top 3 running for like 5 days each? in the end we can always go back to locker since its metro 2.0 it should fill up easily.

I hear ya, but I asked 2 days ago who a top recruiter is that I can learn from and nobody has yet offered to help train me. It's tough to make a case for more recruiting when nobody is willing to teach people to recruit.
