EA talks Battlefield 4

Posted in the other EA thread:

As a BF3 player, I'll give you a scenario, as it stands now, there are only a few servers (locally) that I play on (I only play Conquest which narrows down the number of servers I can join). One of these servers is an iGame server, so I select the server and I'm placed 1st in the queue (cool story, it's not like I haven't been in 1 before), about 7 minutes go by and all of a sudden I'm 3rd in the queue , and endure an 15 minute long wait before deciding it's time to move on after only gaining back the 2nd place in the queue. I browse for vanilla conquest servers with an adequate population size* (I couldn't find any aftermath servers that were populated), this search eventually leads to the Do Gaming Metro 24/7 server (which is full), so I decide I might be lucky 2nd time around (boy was I wrong), select server-> you are now 1st in queue-> 4 minute wait-> you are now 2nd in queue-> 5 minute wait-> still 2nd in queue -> promptly quit.

I eventually decided to play on a few US aftermath servers (dealing with upwards of 650ms of ping), then went back to the iGame, WAGE, and Do gaming servers much later, once the population had dissipated a bit. All in all I spent 30 - 40 minutes trying to play, but couldn't because of queue priority.

Now, I really love this game, but I can objectively say, queue priority is a very crappy/dodgy thing to tout as a feature IMHO. I definitely get where Graal is coming from. I really doubt that this scenario is unique to me.

*at least 15 players (most of them had 10 players max)

PS: This all transpired this past weekend.

My 2 cents on the matter...

I'm officially relieving myself of this thread.

This is a back and forth argument that's repeating itself with a few changes in every post or two.

I'm tired of agreeing with the both of you, and disagreeing with the both of you AND having my own opinion on this matter. It's exhausting, pointless, and this debate will never end until someone decides to agree with the other.

You 2 have fun. I'm done.

Fine i agree to disagree with the agreeable terms of the disagreeable agreeable that EA and Activations are both money hungry and one can not be more evil then the good of the evil one in the land of evil beings were good beings hunt while being chased by evil beings that are being eaten by good beings that look like evil beings but are good.

Wow clearly EA has found a game that is racking in lots of bucks for them! but good luck to them the Bf series have been awesome from the start, so the more the merrier I suppose.
