[quote=“ToRRent;20153”]2 cents:
We don’t need high level restriction IF we will be able to host own servers, so to be honest, devs need to decide what we will get first: custom dedicated servers or official high level servers.[/quote]
This! ^^^^ An agree vote isn’t enough to explain how right this post is.
pretty certain Splash Damage wants servers available for clans etc, likely to be rentals with restricted admin panels though
We need at least level 12+ servers considering as well open beta is next month and playing with low levels is like pulling teeth.
Queue for ranked then, as that is level 6+.
We don’t need minimum level servers if ranked gets more traffic.
Level doesn’t equal skill or knowledge either. I was in a game with a level 14 that didn’t know that you could break a generator without C4.

First of all, i guess you don’t wanna know how many >15 don’t know you can shoot and gren the gen or that the ev is driving faster with 4+ ppl on it, and such.
Second, we need servers, you can play without having to play a whole map (dunno when you’ve got to leave, aso), and not getting a penalty if you leave eraly, but at the same time not beeing stuck with “noobs”.
Ranked would be nice, thou, if it would work for non-premade teams and you got a display of an estimated time until matchstart.
Honestly I don’t queue anymore, tired of waiting 10 minutes+ without getting a match, and not even knowing if there are other ppl queing or not.

It’s a new feature 
level doesn’t equal skill, but I’d at least like to play with people who know the maps.
Lvl +10 in the least guarantees that the players know the maps&classes&objectives.

One that has been around for awhile now.

It doesn’t really guarantee it, unfortunately. It does guarantee that they have at least played all of the maps, but who knows if they were just doing the same thing most of the time…
I still don’t think minimum level servers would be requested nearly as much if they just added an incentive to ranked(Either slight reward boost OR release ranked stats) or opened up independent servers(I know, I’m a broken record on that topic).
That’s what competitive mode is for right? I dont get it why nobody plays that mode…
Primarily the small user base but additionally it is much longer between matches(due to the small user base) which turns even more people away. It is just a vicious cycle which continuously drives players away from it except during peak hours. Besides the point that there is no reason to actually use it besides the minimum level limit atm, as there is no reward or leaderboards in game yet.
Simply put, no compelling reason exists to use it besides minimum level of 6. That reason isn’t enough to outweigh the cons of long wait time between matches and identical reward to casual.

somtimes you don’t want to go all-in try-hard; but have fun on pubs, experimenting with whatever.
I’d rather not have to do that among poor newbies.
There are two big things that negatively affect my own experience with this game currently.
1. The quality of the servers and the server browser.
-The server browser isn’t showing real time data.
-It often displays wrong player counts, or other false information, and usually the ping counters aren’t displayed at all.
-Servers are sometimes going completely nuts with ping, and sometimes they boot every player on the server.
2. The inconsistent level of gameplay.
-A direct result of mixing low level players with the veterans.
-This is a sure way to make the game unenjoyable for both of these parties.
I say this with the best intentions, but for when you plan to release the game to the public, you will have to cater to both your veterans, and the new players, not one or the other.
You’ll also have to either:
A.) Allow people to host their own servers, so it takes some load off your back.
or
B.) Do big investments in servers.
There was a certain other F2P shooter, that attracted a crowd of 30k ish, when it launched, but their servers went over capacity, for several days, right at the launch, and most people couldn’t play the game.
I don’t want to see a similar fail of epic proportions, with Dirty Bomb.
I guess i could go play MM as nexon chefs also suggested on twitch, but i don’t really want to get steam rolled off a pre-made team with voice coms, unless there is a way of entering that with no pre-mades just randoms?
Currently; If obj is your goal on pubs you will hate this game.
Play for kills because xp is nonsense, medals are nonsense, credits etc…
Pugs and scrims are best bet for team obj play.
