We are collectively holding our breath to see if we can fire up the community using BF1 for future campaigns. Its not looking good at the moment since EA has removed all 3rd party server rentals and making them all in house. They have not been forthcoming with any information about server controls (like restarting rounds or kicking people) and there will not be any rentals even available till November.Thur wrote:Well my memory is shot, wasn't all that good to begin with. Good to see some old timey friends still kicking about the place.
So somebody in charge tell me what the hell is going here?
I had sent a PM to the community manager after the first day of the beta asking similar things, due to how in BF4 we got offered a chance to play on a private server in its beta and I was the POC from our side of things (since we didn't have direct admin control, had to ask people to do things for us). I got no response. he also seems to have his hands tied about the lack of actual server info (past the part where rentable servers aren't even available at launch), either EA is telling him he can't say anything or they simply aren't communicating to him.Thur wrote:I saw some other discussions about the servers. Didn't look good. Has anyone contacted EA directly? See if their dev team wants to work with the legend that is Global Conflict! Ha. that would be awesome though. Get some inside leverage on how a game gets put out. The market is ever changing. I think there is a growing place for community gaming, community control, that will make them money. BF has never been a 'light' game concept.
Ah. just spit balling a bit. Good to hear from you Ghoul. Brummie. Cheesy. Goggles ...everyone.
