I don't know how I feel about the ramped up effects. Most of them are just blinding and the dust on siege just makes it look like it's hiding a bad draw distance. Stuff like the Gulf of Oman dust storm looks really cool though.

To unlock the dlc weapons, do you need to complete the assignment on the specific expansion maps? Or could I just grind the AR ones on locker?

Unless it says specifically "do X on X map" you can do them on any map.

Is yours actually getting people to join? What settings are you running?

The US server is empty unless we get a goon group to start playing and even then we only get a few pubbies in. I think the biggest game I've seen so far was 14 or 15 players.

I hopped on briefly last night, and according to the settings since it's ranked, it won't get anyone from quick match. Not sure if that's something that can be changed or what (also are all people who donated admins?) but I was gonna ask that myself.

Not sure how else you'd get people though unless you went around advertising on forums and stuff (how's it done on PC?). It would suck to have a decent server set up but never actually get people :(

We left it set as official running vanilla conquest for a while and whenever I checked it was empty. Somebody suggested buying an SA ad.

Nope, it's pretty much empty atm. I have a ranked server with a custom map roptation. I think you'll need to run a standard map rotation with normal, or somewhat normal, presets to get people to join from quick match.

PC servers fill up based on people already playing most of the time. If a server is completely dead most people don't end up joining it. I think Battlelog being the only real option for server joining on the PC and the lower number of players choosing the "put me in a random server" option there, aside from the guy in the PC thread claiming that he complained so hard to EA about having to install Punkbuster and the instant action button not working as he expected it to that they gave him a refund and let him have the game anyways.

Been lurking in here as usual, but I may not get back to Battlefield until June. I'm playing Child of Light now (which is fantastic if you like old-school JRPGs), then Super Time Force comes out on the 14th, and then Watch_Dogs drops on the 27th.

A busy month, but I'll come back to shooting mans soon enough. I always do.

Except for Pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles and 100% OJ.

So I just recently got a PS4 and I need to know, will this game give me my FPS fix? Blacklight is alright, but I don't play it often thanks to some annoying things it does(No permanent unlocks without real money :argh:).

I had been playing Blacklight just about every day until I finally said "eff it" and bought BF4. Haven't even launched Blacklight since. When I want that sort of game, I can just fire up Deathmatch, Domination, or Defuse in BF4 and have a better experience, :dice: notwithstanding.

Also, unlocks are permanent.

(Though I have to admit, I would love to have that fingerwag emote for the killcam after I stab a dorito in the neck)

E: According to the goon stats site, I have nearly 130 hours played thus far. In a few weeks. Yeah, it scratches the itch.

It's awesome on PS4. I don't get to play it enough, but I always have a great time when I do. It may take a few matches to figure out how not get killed by everyone, but you can be a great team player even if your KDR is in the gutter. Stick with your sqaud (players in green) and focus on the objectives and - based on your class - healing, reviving, resupplying, or repairing.

Fuzzy pickles!
I swore off this game back in December when it was crashing all the time. I decided to give it another shot, and holy poo poo, I'm hooked. I've been grinding out some of the weapon unlocks/reacquainting myself with everything this past week. I think I've gotten party invites but didn't notice so my bad for that if it was anyone in this thread. I'll try to pay better attention.

Also, did they increase the speed of the sraw? I used to be ok with it, but I'm having a hard time hitting a aircraft with it now. Just feels like it's moving way faster than I remember.

Me, Snacks and Vegans had some fun clear cutting Zavod today until some randoms decided to join and capped all the objectives and shot at us. How's a lumberjack supposed to practice his trade when people turn up and shoot rockets at their tank forestry equipment? drat tree huggers.
Anyway after Snacks and Vegans left, all of a sudden the entire server filled up with an army of dudes. So the answer to if nobody is on, does anybody play the rental server is yes, suddenly, and in great numbers.

The trees must have been in the way of the server router, but once we cleared them out people could connect.

Zavod is the new Golmud

Just played a few games and Aspergers Central was full. My router started acting up so I had to drop out but it's way more fun when it's not just 7-on-7. We need to add a note in the server description saying 'teabag=ban' and then teabag every kill. I got one clip of an enemy killing someone, getting out of his tank to teabag only to get hugged and teabagged by me.

I thought that all the admins were capable of changing server descriptions.

I also thought you were supposed to be one, but it's possible you aren't. :v: I'll sign on right now and make sure all the last server changes I made stuck.

e: Yep, you stuck to the list, but it looks like the last batch I added while the servers were having problems didn't stay. My apologies for everyone who donated and isn't currently an admin, I'm fixing that right now. That being joe124013 and DopeGhoti.

Is there a Bone goon server, or just ps4?

True to :dice: form, when you try to rent a server on the 'bone, it crashes you back to dashboard.

Eventually there will be one.

You should come back to BF4 though, it's finally the game we were promised 7 months ago. I have yet to experience rubber banding like there was in the bad days.
