Title: Server/Map Requests - Request ONLY thread
Post by: Xsannz on January 05, 2012, 01:30:45 pm
Howdy all.

I have archived the old thread  was getting a little waylaid and also  a bit long and cumbersome to see what has or hasnt been done.

We've seen a lot of feedback on what you'd all like to see as potential server options,

Can you please post if you have request - only required is your request and details if these are required (such as map rotation, player count in server etc etc).

Please do not comment on posts as we'd like to have a view of what people want and like to play, and it's easier if you just post your request and leave the rest to us.


Also to note changes will be : Temporary and if the change is found to be popular and lives for more than 7 days it will be made Permanent.


too often a few people request a server change and it is played for 2 days then dies....

so far 24/7 IS a failure it lasts 5 days and then gets occupied once in a blue moon,  24/7 metro  24/7 Caspian are examples of this.

Caspian seems to be dying slowly but is still used where metro has been vacant apart from last night where 8 people where playing and it was a clan..... it has been empty for days.

Please use the following Naming Conventions
Example
NZ : GetSome TelstraClear - SQDM KARKAND IO #02

[country code / US state code] [RSP name] [free text] is how it's dictated


Game Settings
HC= Hardcore
IF = Infantry Only
FV = Fast Vehicle
FF - Friendly Fire

Game Modes
CQ = Conquest
Rush = Self explanatory
TDM - Team Deathmatch
SQDM - Squad Deathmatch
SQRush - Squad Rush
Mixed - Mixed Mode

Ticket# if ticket count is to be changed from standard.


Just Be Aware server browser truncates server names at the end instead of in the middle. The max length before truncation kicks in will still be approximately 26-29 characters.

On Completion Requests will be archived into the old thread as to keep this thread short and sweet.

Hey guys. Some BF3 server suggestions...

We need a permanent Conquest Domination server, preferably 2 on the Close Quarter servers. They're all Gun Master it seems with one on CQ Domination only in rotation. I think it would be better to 2 of them Gun Master and 2 Conquest Domination.

And these servers look pretty dead below, how about utilising them for the maps below to make them more appealing and so we can play the full range of BF3 maps on GetSome

Change Server #17 to 48 player Conquest server for the smaller maps with just Bazaar, Tehran, Seine, Metro and Damavand maps

Change #6 to just 64 player B2K Conquest Assault maps - Wake, Oman, Karkand and Sharqi

Change #7 to another 64 player Conquest Large with the big maps Caspian, Firestorm, Kharg, Noshahr and also Gulf of Oman
- I'm sure the vast majority have Karkand and not even played Oman much. Be good to have it integrated and if not, that's when they can swap to #57
- With this is on similar maps but diff rotation from #57 we have map choice or if theres a problem we can go here

I think this would complement the existing ones you got and covers all the main maps/modes in BF3 so far. Hopefully could also bring back alot of gamers playing on the Ozzie servers. My 2c :)

Big Maps 17 is my favourite server, just nobody else usually plays it. :'(

Post by: s3bsta on June 19, 2012, 01:52:47 pm
Yeah I would luv to play Bazaar and Tehran more as part of a normal rotation. But for one #17 doesn't even come up in Battlelog if you have it as BF3, it's only comes up as a Karkand selection because of Oman so if noone is gonna see it with BF3 selected.

Grand Bazaar is not what I think of as a big map so the server name is a misnomer.

It only has 3 maps - If you added Seine, Metro and Damavand they are popular maps and would make it more appealing I reckon.

Take out the B2K map and put that on a Conquest Large #7 I mentioned

On a separate note - is it actually possible to lower the votecount for kicking a hacker in game on the big 64 player servers. It's far too much at what seems like 50% or 32 players on a full 64 player. That number is just unfeasible with most not seeing or reading the chatlist. By the time a hacker has been noticed enough, the round is usually over and ruined the whole game.

Are we able to lower this to something like 25% or 16 players. Problem would be when there only a small amount of players this potentially could be abused. But in perspective, it's either full or building up to full because the maps on the 64 players don't lend themselves to a few players. This would make this kick tool actually effective.

I wonder if the reason is in the message :p

On another note, I will look into the rotation and the votekick options.... Bit busy at the moment and I am having issues with the RCON access to some servers :( so sorry for any delays.

Awesome bro. Just out of interest think #17 might be revised for this weekend?

Don't really wanna play on 57 with the risk of losing all points during Double XP so hopefully can get ppl into #17. If you do, I'm getting in now and asking for uping the ticket abit. 500 or 600 tickets? :)

Hi could you fix the name on #18 please. Needs to be "mixed CQ/Rush" not the Kark that it is. Also could you chuck back on the 900 idle looks like it reset.

Can we change the 24/7 tdm Nosh server to have 300 tickets.

So in a simple list..... what do you want doing to #17?
Title: Server/Map Requests - Request ONLY thread
Post by: s3bsta on June 27, 2012, 05:25:20 pm
Hmm, never got the notification email.

Basically change Server #17 to be specialised on the metro maps with just

- Bazaar, Tehran, Seine, Metro and Damavand.
- 500 or so tickets.
- Rename as Conquest Metro Maps maybe? Instead of Big Maps.
- Retain 48 player

Also, separately I notice CQters server #9 seems to have defaulted to 100 tickets instead of 300 again. Here's hoping we might see more in there now it's open to all not just Premium.

Thks mate

I wouldn't mind seeing more than just nosharh on the tdm server. Mapbe mix in some kharg island once in a while :)
Also, it looks like the new 64p caspian (#11) is infantry only?

Apologies for the delay.... had some time off and then had some issues with my PC. I will catch up on the change requests today :)

@PlatSilver, We are willing to give any config a go so long as it is popular. The 24/7 Noshar TDM server is rammed every night and often has queues of people patiently waiting, when we had another TDM server running rotations of other maps it sat empty. I will put up another TDM server (resource allowing) if you tell me what maps you want on rotation and what other settings you think may bring in the players.

Post by: PlatSilver on July 22, 2012, 11:23:42 pm
Suggestion:

32 player CQ server with operation metro, damavand peak, grand bazaar, seine crossing.
Some of these servers don't appear at all apart from squad rush or squad DM
Title: Big maps server 17 - Could we please have a few extra maps added
Post by: Cowwie on August 22, 2012, 11:43:03 pm
Seeing as there aren't as many people playing bf3 on the GetSome servers these days, could we have a map or two of the most popular b2k maps added to server 17?, since that server and the 24/7 caspian server is where pretty much most people congregate.

I reckon Oman would fit in fine for starters.

Hi There, Any plans for changing over some servers for AK next week? Tank superiority should be fine with smaller numbers but was wondering if there is any progress on getting stable 64 player servers back for the huge Conquest maps?

Thanks for keeping the only NZ servers running.

Yes, Im in discussion with the BF3 admins about servers and game modes.

Post by: Jacksonator36 on September 07, 2012, 09:07:31 pm
It would be great if we could have at least one armoured kill server ASAP. please have it rotate all modes and armoured kill maps

What are the chances of getting a single server with a Tank Domination mode 24/7?

If you provide the config details, probably quite good :)

prolly 64 player, all AK maps, normal mode, quick spawn vehicles (because AK is gay if you aren't in a tank of some sort)

The rest, I leave to your expert disgression....

64 rush metro server anyone?

Anti mortar, rocket launchers and m320 with admin around observing the server just to watch out for hackers and let others enjoy the game without getting owned.
Team balance every round

64p servers should be more optimized for large numbers than the 48 server

Title: Variation Please
Post by: Jacksonator36 on November 29, 2012, 11:50:12 pm
PLEASE put some variation into the servers. BF3 has been out for a year now i don't want to play the same maps and modes over and over again. Please make a 32 man server which rotates through most maps and varies between conquest and rush. This should bring back some of the fun we used to have.

hey guys im new in the GetSome
i was just wondering why arnt any of the aftermath servers populated?
the only populated servers are the big maps and the 24/7 caspain.
im a telstraclear customer and would love to get some unmetered gameplay ;)
thanks

People tend to join off their friends and often they will be on an already populated server, I have found that a server will soon populate if you and a few mates jump into an empty one and get the ball rolling.... Even the rammed servers have to start from empty :)

Try Server #3 (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/servers/show/67b91afd-d6e1-4051-a164-24db8210e538/NZ-GetSome-TelstraClear-Mixed-Mode-CQ-Scav-200-TK-03) which I configured last night, it's based on an Aussie server that is usual full with 2 -3 waiting in the queue. It has NO Alboring mountains, single rotation, double tickets, fast vehicle spawn AK/AM CQ and all the Scavenger maps. All maps are single rotation thus avoiding the groundhog day effect.

Either that or they are all tight arses with no expansions :p

Title: DLC servers
Post by: bradsctt on February 20, 2013, 05:35:29 pm
hey, ive noticed that pretty much all of the servers seem to be empty lately, what happened to everyone?
the GetSome servers seem to be dead now, unlike when i got bf3 in august last year

anyway, can we maybe get more servers that use the DLC packs that we have payed for?
add in some different game modes? scavenger, tank superiority etc?

also, are there plans for some End Game servers? it actually looks reasonably good
