Thread: 64 Player Full Rotation BF4 server going "New School"

You don't want to listen to me or entertain using HC settings? No issues here. I'm pretty positive you never were anyways.

Cybs.....It's not about what you are saying, but about how you are saying it. Shitting on the admins because you disagree with the server settings isn't making you any friends, and is not helping you make the point you are trying to make. If you can't see that, then I can't help you with that part. Someday , hopefully, you will.

As for the server settings........look down on the first page of the BF Forums. You can see that we are doing what we can to improve our population, and it has very little, if shit all, to do with admin preferences. I can honestly assure you that if the server(s) could stay full 24/7 with the custom settings we had in BF3 and BF4, that's what most of the admins (myself included) would choose. Not Vanilla.

The problem is that our custom settings cost us random connections. Without randoms, the server dies, and slowly, TPG follows. We need the randoms. We need to grow. Everyone here was a random connection at one time.

So when we decided it was time to ditch our custom settings that were slowly starving us, we wanted to find the biggest buffet we could. Vanilla is, by a long shot, the biggest random buffet in the business. It was the one we chose not because it's the settings the admins preffered, but the ones we knew would give us the best shot of growing. The admins you just trashed chose to put TPG in front of their own preferences. They knew the name on the front of their jerseys was more important than the one on their backs. I wish you could see that.

If you want to make the argument that TPG should host a HC server, that, as always, is fine.
A little Protip:
Tell us how it will help us grow. Show us the millions more that are playing it. Cite the locals here who not only want it, but would also want to help prime it every day. Any of these would be better than what you started with.

Cybs... I said we should go hardcore to the admins or at least custom....but....we need to get TPG to grow. Dex is right. Let TPG fill up, get people to sign up for the forums and maybe invite some of the friends you have from other servers to check TPG out. When we get full and more popular, I'm sure TPG and the admins will try HC out....if they dont, oh well, its packed! and thats what everyone wants!

Never going to get "new blood" in this community if TPG regulars can't even use their own mics. I have been making an effort in the last month to play more often and sadly I can remember only once when my squad was even somewhat using their mics. It's really frustrating to be honest when some of my squad members call themselves TPG regulars and then sound like zombies when communicating in BF4. To get actual teamplay I have to get in team speak with my brother and cousins on another server. And fyi I'm always initiating the teamplay but I'm not going to force people to talk and I shouldn't have to, especially TPG regulars.

Don't know what the solution is. Think it's just a "wake up call" thing. I'll keep initiating communication and having fun.

That's what I want. I don't want SourceSkills type communication where he talks about anything and everything, I want people calling out enemy positions, people getting excited when they RPG a chopper, and flat out just having fun. This is what's contagious to non-TPGers. When random connects who have no other friends to play with join our server and join a squad of teamplayers communicating and having a blast doing so, what do you think goes through their head? They want to join in on the fun. They add us to their favorites because there is seriously NO other server in BF4 where people actually use their mics and try to work together.

Hardcore vs Normal vs Custom....that isn't the issue in my opinion. We have to start at square one and from my experience on the server, which isn't as many hours as some of you, I feel that we have skipped the basics that make the server a TPG hosted one from day one. That or people got bored of talking to themselves like I do when going from one random squad to another and trying to get people to use their mics who don't want to.

But yea if I join your squad go ahead and talk my ear off. Scream for all I care. Just be a teamplayer above all else...I feel like some have forgot what that means.

If my memory serves me correctly we've already had HC settings on this server and it sat empty just as often. I love HC and I'm sad we can't get the server pop to support it, but to even think to come in here and claim that the current settings are due to admin preference and then say that they do nothing is disrespect and just utterly selfish in my opinion.

I guess TPG paying the bills to keep the lights on doesn't earn them any decency.

As for Blonde's comments, I admit I am guilty. I haven't been very good about using my mic in game, I need to get back to it

We've only had custom and vanilla settings.

A good practice if you're solo and no regs are available : spam the all chat with I am looking for voip players in squad Delta. Then start to show them how we roll. I've had much luck with this. Many fun had.
