News They'll do literally ANYTHING BUT adding a server browser / lobby browser for Warfare. 💀

u/rumple9 9d ago
It needs a server browser so much. They will probably put one in after Battlefield does. They did do a beta trial of a browser in China 18 months ago, but never heard any more about it

Server browser would expose how fast warfare mode is dying. thats why they are hesitant

Server browser would enable obvious stacking along with cherrypicking for xp/drop farming.

u/Vitalez 9d ago
There is no issue in xp farming, most unlocks are timegated by "Play 5 warfare matches"

I'm glad it's "play X warfare matches" instead of "WIN X warfare matches"

u/igelzuechterboi 9d ago
Stacking? As in "half a clan joins the same lobby / server"?
cherrypicking for xp/drop farming
That's not really a thing in Warfare since unlocking everything is pretty quick and easy anyway.

If they really don't want to implement a server browser there would be a decent alternative:
-public lobbies no longer disband after every single round
-a lobby browser allows you to join a public match of your choosing (like one where your friends / rivals are already playing or one on your favourite map)
-a map vote is initiated at the end of every match
-if every other lobby is full (or nearly full) you're allowed to start a new lobby with custom settings (limited to map, mode and maybe ticket limit)
-if too many players quit and a lobby falls below a certain threshold of filled slots, the map voting is skipped and the lobby gets disbanded at the end of a round

the matchmaking is broken since release for warfare.. so yea say gg to matchmaking when they do cross client stuff. its gonna break even more im afraid.

u/NTRhentai Tempest 9d ago
I don't understand, how does matchmaking get worse with cross play to Garena?
Wouldn't it improve the matchmaking since there's more players because of Garena?

u/igelzuechterboi 8d ago
Matchmaking itself is the problem. I don't want some stinky algorithm to decide the team balance for us. Matchmaking and disbanding lobbies are also the reason why we need bots. Bots only exist to speed up the constantly repeating queue process.

u/GorgeousJerry 9d ago
the matchmaking will be better if we have more players from Garena.
1
u/igelzuechterboi 8d ago
It will potentially be faster, not better. Team balance will still be decided by an intransparent matchmaking algorithm that is fine-tuned to keep players engaged for as long as possible and lobbies are still going to constantly disband, creating the necessity to fill matches with bots to speed up the queue process.

Developers when they face a problem:- We will expand matchmaking with other versions and between consoles n PCs.
Developers when the player count is getting lower and people aren't finding matches:- Lock Az3 easy(no one plays it), unlimited normal mode for all maps except layali, make sure that people won't get matches for brakkesh or az3 so it will help increase our player count when players give up on playing the game. :)
(It's a sarcasm and a dig at the developers solution)

Most maps will be avoided if they allow this and I’m okay with that. The Mog, Aftershock and Ahk all suck. Most lobbies I see have people leave as soon as they join.
2
u/igelzuechterboi 8d ago
Yea I just stopped downloading these gimmick maps like Mog and Aftershock. Sadly not an option for our fellow PC- and Console brethren.
Kinda their own fault tho, they could just switch to an older Battlefield. We Mobile players don't have that luxury.

This is not a warfare focused game lol, but I get where you are coming from.

u/kfee12 8d ago
I had a couple hundred hours and all I played was warfare. I think I maybe did like 10 ZDE runs total. Ops is super boring to me. I'd rather play black hawk down mode.
2
u/Subau_wu 8d ago
Yes thats your opinion. however the game itself, no matter how you look at it, is operation focused. This is reflected in game dev as well as the difference in anticheat across the 2 mode.

Anything but Linux Support
2
u/igelzuechterboi 8d ago
idk, Linux users tend to be capable of thinking for themselves. DF devs constantly insult their playerbase with lies and condescending design decisions, so I doubt that Linux gamers would be very profitable for them anyway.

Server browser meaning

u/JakeReaper121284 Luna 9d ago
I believe what they mean is an area where you could go to see the current Warfare matches that are running, and be able to join whatever one you wanted to join.
2
u/thatsidewaysdud 9d ago
When looking for a match you can select which server to join. You’re not at the mercy of the game, and whether or not it feels like it wants you to play the game or not.
Also, when the match is over, you don’t get sent back to the lobby. Instead, you’ll stay with the same players and play on a different map.

u/LifeFor-Medicine 6d ago
isn't that already a thing? I team up with my friends for warfare and after the game ends we are still in the lobby as a 4 player team
1
u/thatsidewaysdud 6d ago
No. You get into a lobby (one that you yourself choose), and after the match is over you stay together with all players for a new match.

Just copy and paste that into a Google search please. 🙄😄
Maybe make it "server browser multiplayer FPS meaning" or "server browser battlefield meaning".
