Min Level 10 Servers

(TheDoctorHax) #1

Does anyone know the IP addresses of the min level 10 servers, or a way that i can find them. I want to block them so that quick play is usable.

You can’t block them in quick play unfortunately.

Why could I not block them? I know you can’t block them in the game itself at all which is why I want to block the IPs of the servers so quick match gets a null response when checking them. Therefore I would never get placed into min level 10 again.

Sounds like it’d be far easier to just use the server browser with appropriate filters, which are saved each time anyway.

I’ve been doing that, and I never get a balanced game. Given the recent matchmaking system that only works for quick join I wanted to be able to try it out but I couldn’t because it forces me on to min level 10 servers every time

If it’s putting you into level 10+ servers, maybe consider that this is the matchmaking at work. Blocking out level 10+ servers is sidestepping it entirely, so might as well stick with the server browser. Balanced games are/can be hard to find inside or outside of level 10 servers, it fluctuates from game to game even on the same server at times.

I know a guy that want easy and free mission farming over here :slight_smile:
And please don’t say it’s for playing with friends that are bellow level 10 ^^

Like people said it’s not worth it and quick join doesn’t send you every time on +10 servers.

(Ghosthree3) #10

Hahaha, oh you. Quick join has no match making it just finds a random server with a slot and sticks you in.

This ^^

The only matchmaking I know of is the one for comp matches.

One, people need to stop claiming that min level 10 servers are filled with competent and objective-focused masters of teamwork. That’s just not the case.

Two, just use the server browser and add stuff to the filter window; eu -“min” -“max” for instance.

I think overall the focus on objectives can be higher in 10+ servers, but that doesn’t really mean much. Your team just generally knows about what to expect from each of the objectives - choosing to play them is a whole other matter.

Quick join does not do any balancing at all outside of throwing people on a Max level 5 server who is 5 or lower or try to put them on Min Level 10 servers if they are 10 or above. No other balancing is attempted until you get on the server and then it only happens after a map has ended and a new lobby begins. But that’s usually when people leave and new players join (either using the browser or quick join) so balance goes out the window pretty quickly unless everyone stayed on the server after the last map.

And wireshark might not help since you’d most likely stop at the IP address/dns name of the data center and then internal networking takes over. Each server wouldn’t have their own external IP address either (and probably not their own internal either) since everything is virtualized and these servers would most likely be running off of different ports using an internal IP address. It depends on their setup…I’ve never personally looked into it but that’s my guess.

As time goes on it is more and more less the case, but it was true enough at one point.
