Why can only the premium players use the custom game password?

I’m happy to see that Darkflow finally added the custom game password function. What I don’t understand is why ftp players aren’t allowed to use this function?.


Yes, I have seen what Keofox said about this, but it still doesn’t make sense. I think that the developers were worried about all custom games being locked with passwords, but are you sure about that? Maybe some games will be open with no passwords.
What I suggest is letting everyone, including ftp players, use the password function. If this seems to cause problems like exploits or all custom games being locked with passwords, then think of the solution. Giving the password function to premium players is no solution. Being able to make a password-locked custom game is something every player must be able to do.

there need to be some incentive to buy the premium
rather then just more XP

Can’t understand why they did so.

I don’t think Keofox did Darkflow any favors with how he described it, so I’m going to use my magical “mind-reading apparatus” (patent pending) to reinterpret what I think they might have meant to say, but perhaps didn’t want to.

Renting server space costs money. I do not know, in Darkflow’s arrangement with Gaijin Entertainment (or whichever piece of the snail they do business with), whether Darkflow gets to use space on Gaijin’s existing servers OR if Darkflow was allowed to lease their own servers, but either way:

those servers are paid for. They are paid for with premium accounts, merchandise purchases, and all the rest of it.

Despite their claims that they had “plenty of server space” when modding came out, I’ll be frank and say that I highly doubt that is the case. Like most things, I think they greatly underestimated the interest that modding would generate amongst some members of the community.

All of this is to say that custom games (with or without mods) take up a slice of the server space they have rented (or which Gaijin have granted to them), so my guess (again using my mind reading apparatus) is that they at least want to offset the potential server space usage by only giving keys to people who have made a minimum investment in the game.

(And if you buy premium during one of the several sales during the year, you’ll quickly see that it is a minimum investment…they were practically giving it away a few months ago during the May sale)

Just to clarify, I did invest time and money in this game. Look at this.



I bought two years of premium this year(one before the sale and one after the sale).
I might not be a good player, but I am not someone who ‘invest nothing inGame’
I would like to see your reply to this.

He is indeed a player who is attached to the game.
But you know what? The fact that a user who doesn’t disclose his record is ruining the game
I’m going to do Rifle Grenade spam from today. Because they insisted on buffing the bolt action as they wanted without intelligently
It’s just that meta has changed, and it’s going to give us more hell.

it’s " funny " because in like, 100 games that i have played around the years, only few has private lobbies behind pay wall.

Fallout 76 being one.

and the others, battlefield.

but for battlefields, you pay entire servers…

yikes…

how low we have fallen.

which to be honest, update is good, but this is the biggest gripe of it.

P.s.

not here to attack keofox, because he is just the messanger, but the message is absolute shit.

like if they aren’t getting money from premium squads, stalingrad acess, re-roll perks, buy weapons, gold order soldiers/weapons/vehicles, cosmetics, titles, battlepass, protraits and premium it self…

( sure i’m missing something, but i’m being generous here… )

My reply to you and to all Whiners,

I have everything inGame…
except
Premium Squads:

I16-Typ24
YAK-9k
Breda-88
Bf110 C-6
Hurricane MK

OK?
