Server settings - your opinion?!

[Faddn]

Ok guys, the server setting poll have been running for a while now:
viewtopic.php?f=65&t=2962

I think we could give our opinion and answer why we would like some settings on/off.

3D spotting OFF
I will start of with 3D spotting and why I would like it off.
3D spotting is basically a wallhack built into the game, it's not encouraging for good teamplay with sqaud VOIP (coming to BF4), it makes choppers and jets really powerful and it makes stealth a bad option.

I think that all those great feautes we get in BF4, VOIP (voice over IP), commander and a proper sqaudleader fuction, will be much more useful with 3D spot off and people will have a much better time on our server since they actually are cooperating and talking together.


Regeneratevehicles OFF
I think this should be off since turning it on makes vehicles to powerful. Disabling is re-worked to not slowly destroy vehicles after "disabling", making them act more like pre BF3.
For people who played battlefield before BF3 knows that they are still powerful with out regenration.

In BF3 we all remember that a chopper could sit in the sky for a whole round with out landing and making repairs. In earlier battlefields you could actually get a brake from a good pilot if you got a few 50 cal rounds dropet at that chopper. Same goes for jets, instead of having a pro pilot 24/7 in the air, you can force him down with some well placed rounds.


I have ofc some more settings I would like on/off, but I think these are most important to set a light on.
So guys, what do you think? Do you agree with me? Have you some settings you would like to talk about? Feel free to speak out!

Commander - ON
3D Spotting - OFF
Vehicle Regen - OFF
Vehicle respawn timer - DEFAULT SETTINGS!

Has it been planned how many servers FG is getting? Depending on our resources I think we should have atleast two servers.
Server 1 - Obliteration
Server 2 - Conquest Large (800 - 1000 Tickets?)

There will be atleaat one to start With.

Anyway, would be good if someone had a opinion and some explaination on why they would like 3d spot on, vehicle regen on or maybe something else.

Well, in my opinnion having vehicle regen off might balance the vehicles a bit. For example a good tank camper, heli camper etc etc. could do awful lot of damage without really having to move or risk anything.

3D spotting.. I feel more comfortable with having it on since it puts bushwookies in a bad position, also since they didn't do anything with head glitching in BF 3 it was quite essential for spotting the headglitchers.. but will play without it and make up my mind on BF4. I do see it being off as an improvement to squad play.

Health regen is something I'd keep on, especially if the medic class is as over powered as it was in BF3. If the medic class is nerfed alot and seems a bit underpowered/underused, might want to turn off health regen. Time will tell.

I think that regen can make pros untouchable, still we get a wire-guided launcher this time, but if there is to many noobs, they will get easily raped by pilots.

Scope glint is allready there to cover bushwookies and I hope they fixed head glitching (would still like it off since it kills old fasion teamwork and makes it to easy)

I would agree on that, if Health regen is set off you might have too many People running medic, and that's not good on a all out vehicle server.

Ok so now that I have tested it I could say definately health regen ON to balance out assault class a bit and definately vehicle regen OFF

[0ptiC]

Agree.

3d spotiing off would really help in tactical aproach
Regeneratevehicles OFF on the server which is focused on vehicle warfight sound strange, it can put off some players who playing mostly vehicle maps and also there is lot of new gear for destroing vehicles in bf4.
Healtregen on infantry i would say ON too...

Have you tried pre Battlefield 3? They are still powerful there With no regen, it makes you play and think smarter. You will also have a break from pro pilots, unlike BF3 there they constaty rape you since they don't need repairs.

I cant say for jets/helis but tanks have now limited ammo which need to be reloaded over time. And those new rpgs without trajectory curve every noob will be able to hit anything easily. Those rpg even can lock on to vehicles when some reckon tracks them with Portable Laser Designator which is default item for them. For me sadest thing in tanks is new smoke..no more tactical escapes
But any settings there will be i will get used to it...

About the RPG - I think that might just an implement in the beta, since we do not have access to any lock-on weapons during this. So I think we aren't going to see that in the final release. Alteast that's my theory.

About the smoke - You can already see the new feature on the Attack Boats. You can choose between two sorts of smoke. The one the tanks have by default now, and a Smoke Screen. I wouldn't be surprised if the same options are available to the tanks / IFVs aswell.

You have brilliant tank drivers and chopper pilots in BC2, still we might have the most powerful rocket-launcher ever made it into battlefield. So I don't think you should fear no regen, it will just boost the skill level to everyone.
