Restrict some roles in some servers like no snipers or no support

balance said classes (support is quite bad rn)

Oki is not going to impose any kind of restrictions or limits on the official servers.
(It will be surely surprising if he changes his mind on this) ;
That's something you will only find on a community server, I'm sure your local community server has a discord with a suggestion channel of their own.. for such requests.

every server that has tried that so far died the fastest

But, why?

Why we ultimately just went another route entirely on bobs
Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective) hard limits seem to kill any growth of lobbies or community. Even RS clan took a small hit doing that
Most of it comes down to map design just favoring that playstyle on some maps (advantageous safezones, open fields, etc.)
We found, at least on our infy server, removing some maps that fell under said category + were generally often complained about by everyone on top of that (because they elevated the amount of sniper use, especially in safezone) worked for us and made players happy on all sides of the discussion (they often had the lowest % of votes for a reason)

figured as much, everyone has fun with it in the short term for sure... but long term people want more options.

could be fun as like an event, weekly or just occasional

In an ideal world oki would rebalance the m200 and m110 cause thats where most of the hate comes from, what I noticed
Just the extreme ends of the bell curve
restive ruin
I see more m200 hate than 110
mostly cause the 110 isn't all that good with its FR i think
meanwhile m200 blowing its competition out of the water for no reason lol
tough flower
Oh yeah m200 definitely the superior one of the two but you’d be shocked how much people hate 110 two shots
Leg meta pretty much makes it consistent for any decent player
restive ruin
oh I know, its just died down, since, I think most people realized that the other DMRs are easier to use and shoot faster
I've seen more mk14's than m110s honestly
SVD > Mk20 > Mk14 > m110
tough flower
Yeah, ultimately perspective comes down to the person on balance
restive ruin
in terms of what I see people using
tough flower
I see m110 and SVD most from when I play, mk20 occasionally.. mk14 is basically the jackpot in terms of seeing it
tough flower
Probably just a map/mode specific thing tbh
restive ruin
true.
m110 just doesn't work on any medium range map, at least not in a way that makes it better than any other DMR

Great suggestion, I totally support it.

why no snipers or support?(Servers managers set limits of classes)

every server that did this starts off strong and dies within a week.

It started off strong because there were enough people on battle-bit for those servers to be seeded by the people who like those rules and those who didn't use the server browser get quick matched into it, realize what was going on after getting rolled.. proceed to shit talk the server in chat, leave and get cycled back in because they were too lazy to untick community servers or use the server browser, get mad and do it again a few times before they got the message explaining what they needed to do.

I mean, if it had a community, those servers would have lasted a long time. they didn't even make it to two weeks after community servers launched

It's a lot of work keeping people invested even when you're pushing official progression servers to their limits; I imagine the demographic of player who're interested in playing a mostly vanilla server that blacklists a class or gun is very very small, you probably can't get enough of them to fill a 254-server consistently, like you said at peak concurrent players they were failing.
They probably would of lasted longer as 32s or 64s, but an even smaller amount of players were interested in those.

The m110 stuff did die down, especially since I did complain about it for a bit, but it really is more of a coin toss if you can get kills within close range with the dam thing, medium range is dependent on shot juggling an even then your fighting its FR, the m200 just needs a nerf to its ballistic speed like only 1200fps, like the mk20 mainly cause your constantly fighting within 600m 1500fps is literally just hit scan for it making recon players a glass cannon at range/corner cuffing during a push its insane

1100 to 1200 would put it in range with all other snipers and DMRs
that alone would make it alot better balanced

People make new squads to bypass limit. Effectively meaning a bunch of single man squads
It was an idea that was attempted then replaced by a global limit to stop this, coded by the servers themselves
Iirc
devout ridge
but then most just reverted cause dmr's are allowed to be used by three other classes
tough flower
Global limit was per weapon types (bolts and DMRs) not class type.
