I am not having any luck with HC servers

Post by IcEWoLF »

This is near impossible to fill up.
I am just not able to do it, not sure what I am doing wrong here.

1000 tickets/Air Maps.
Oman/Caspain/Operation Firestorm/Kharg Island.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

HC is not very popular, so I would suggest dropping HC. HC for most = COD not BF. Seems most servers are hit and miss with filling up. I had days when our server was full, others I could hardly get players on. For me, the cost and the aggravation and headaches just didnt seem worth it. Damn shame too.

I think in another 6 months or so, when the servers numbers drop off a bit, and there is less competition, it may be easier to get servers filled. Who knows? :roll:

How many people have you got to seed your server?

You need to have members of your clan idling/playing in the servers as much as possible, few join empty servers.
I would also separate Karkand maps from original BF3 maps. try limiting your server rotation to 2-3 maps. Caspian/firestorm is a good fit, Oman/Wake. 24/7 Karkand or karkand/Sharqi. Noshar or Khark works well with Caspian. But mostly you need to have people in your server all the time. I disagree on HC, few players I know play vanilla.

On the other hand, what do I know, I am still trying to fill up my servers. lol.

I think TacTicToe hit the nail on the head. There are just far too many servers at the moment. We are lucky as we have a large community and during peek times can put 12-20 players in a server and can generally get any of our 5 servers full within an hour. HC has always when good to us even back in BC2 and no we are not COD players. I have noticed allot of smaller communities helping each other out seeding each others servers. Some of you guys having issues getting your servers going might want to try this.

It has been tough for us to fill our HC server also. Our group doesn't want to run normal mode, so we are stuck killing time trying to fill. We did fill last night, that was a good thing. :)

It's just hard going from HC to Vanilla.
People just don't die easy :)
