Hopefully the days of a full US server at all times of the day will come back again. Back then you guys had a solid following that would join up as soon as they saw 1 person in the server, knowing that it would fill quickly. Its gonna take a lot of work but I have faith that Damit can put together a good crew to keep the server alive. That is as long as he doesn't decide to build another house or break the arm of one of his fellow admins.

Yea dice really screwed up with the rental system so far, the 20 players plus the fact that HC sets the server to custom (meaning you don't benefit from quick play) really hurts. Hardcore has such a loyal player base that I just don't know what dice was thinking. Hopefully they fix it soon and maybe even come out with a classic preset.

My favorite admin is back!

That is sort of an odd thing to say, why would there be more hackers on the normal server compared to the hardcore server? They were administrated by the same great admins and honestly you could make a case that it was easier to spot and ban hackers on the normal server vs the hardcore server with the help of killcams and such. Also an odd thing to say, I can understand not liking normal and refusing to play there but why would you be thankful that one of your clans more popular servers died?

Yep US server has generally always been normal mode.

Whats wrong with it? I thought it was a more realistic and balanced version compared to BF4's. You cant run and gun, you really have to think before you engage and make sure you know what the enemy looks like.

Yea it definitely seems very bare bones, and no kick/ban feature yet, though Braddock states it is coming. Knowing dice though that's gonna take another two months. Still Its a place to call home, which just might be worth it for some clans. Also and this is probably the deal breaker or at least makes most servers impossible to start, if the server is configured for 64 players, a round will not start until at least 20 people are in the server. Most people wont wait that long for people to join. We've already stated about 4 weeks ago that kick/ban is something the Dev team are working to bring in after launch. -Braddock512

Also Rent a server is planned to launch today. They'll be available to rent shortly. Just ensuring the game update is solid. Will announce when I get confirmation from DICE that RSP (rental server program) is live. It is scheduled for today. -Braddock

What Im wondering is since it states "bullet damage" I wonder if TTK will only go down vs guns and you will still take the standard amount of damage when it comes to explosions, fire, gas, and fall damage. That might actually make HC more enjoyable for me. Overall Im still a classic guy.

A few more things about Hardcore mode for BF1 that I thought might be of interest to you hardcore fans. http://wccftech.com/battlefield-1-classic-mode-come-future-hardcore-gets-additional-details/ If your too lazy to read then Ill list the main points Hardcore is coming sooner then you think. Instead of 60% health like BF4, the damage model is closer to 100% health and 200% bullet damage. Possible compass instead of minimap. Classic mode is confirmed but no ETA

All you need is the standard for now, the upgrades just have some skins that look nice but no real benefits.

Im not sure if your mistaking me for someone else but Ive never been in a clan and I never stopped playing on XI servers, just stopped playing BF. I still played with XI people on other games such as GTAV but its been a while. I don't have a clan or ever have joined a clan/community and pretty much my "group of friends" are part of all sorts of different communities such as AOD, XI, DVI, DVNT, BZ, JRKS and plenty of others that I cant think of. You are right on one thing and that's the fact that Im hoping XI gets a server that I will enjoy, mostly because it has proper server admins. So please don't group me together with whoever you have a grudge against, its disrespectful.

Figured I would give a quick update. How much will it cost? PC 1 day: $2.99 7 days: $11.99 30 days: $42.99 90 days: $99.99 180 days: $149.99 What types of features can I expect? Among many other settings, players renting servers will be able to adjust: ticket count bullet damage modes weapons maps When will the Rental Server Program Launch? We’re excited to bring RSP to Battlefield 1 this November. What types of features can I expect? Note: One of the top requested features if the Kick/Ban feature. We hear you and are working on rolling that out after the launch of the RSP.

bf1 moderators are collecting a list of questions in this thread, so hopefully we will get the answers soon.

I will get it, I love the weapons, no helis, and the destruction. Also I nominate damit for admin of the US server, he really did a great job with the BF4 release.

This is pretty standard for pretty much every open beta that has ever happened, regardless of the game or company. Launch will most likely has similar issues like most games. Give it time, the server will be back.

Im coming for you johnny.

I honestly Think he chose now to do it because he feels hes on the chopping block. Basically hes drawing attention to himself so that when and if his team cuts him, the media will make a narrative saying he was cut because of this rather then his piss poor performance.

The problem is it makes a lot of strategies pointless by only rewarding one game play type which is rushing flags to cap them. Staying alive has no benefit anymore, which basically means defensive strategies such as controlling a major choke point between flags, sniping at the edge of points, and air superiority are all pointless. It really does alienate several strategic game play types that could take place anywhere on the map and is what made battlefield great imo. Every kill and every death no matter where on the map it happens should contribute to the overall ticket count, otherwise there is no incentive to staying alive, defending, and playing tactically. If it stays like this I see mass suicides happening just to get to the action quicker.

Rocket League is pretty much all I play these days, If you wanna do a few rounds add me on steam.

Sadly the system as it is now in the alpha does not reward players enough for defending or killing outside of the capture zone. In fact if you plan on defending you are better off letting the flag go to neutral and recapping it. Hopefully they fix this by launch, it rewards attacking more then defending.

This right here is why I originally made the XI servers my home, its rare that you find proper admins that know the game in and out and give the benefit of the doubt. I may have burned out in BF4 but I will definitely be back full force for BF1! (if you bring back the normal server)

You cant really deny that its racist, but who really cares? I do think that there is a way to play that commercial without being racist, and its really simple. Just change the product to bleach and racism flies out the door, while still being funny.

I would not go so far as to say they contribute nothing, in fact I would say they have contributed quite a bit to keeping the xi server active and competitive. It’s never a good solution to purposely ruin a group’s gameplay experience just because they accidentally ruined yours by being good players. In this situation the best solution is the equal solution, counter them with your own group. If you cant do that, then

Wow, I hate to say it but there are a ton of poor sports in this thread. The only reason their presence is poisoning anyone’s game experience is because said person clearly takes this game too seriously. It’s already been stated that the Zonk members don’t do anything wrong, so either figure out a way to counter stack or just enjoy the good fight. Sure the admins can ultimately make the decision to kick them but they shouldn’t, it sets a bad precedent and honestly, I would rather have a server full of Zonks than a bunch of poor sports.
