I figured id make a post here since im looking to Join TBG and i play the servers often.
I can usually be found flying the Jets on the 24/7 Dragon valley server, Ive flow Since 2142 and i love the air! oh and active radar/passive radar in a Jet is for chumps And watching people Use jets as transportation to get to E or B then bailing out drives me crazzzzzzzzzzzzzy

Also if some one can point me to a tutorial on how to seed severs that would be cool.

Hello and welcome!

Welcome to the club

Seeding: joining empty servers and sticking around to get the game started.

People don't tend to stay very long if a server has fewer than about twenty players. Servers lose about a third of their population at the end of a round, and if that leaves too few to make for an enjoyable game, the server will never get the chance to fill up. Especially after a reboot, which happens every afternoon(US).

To seed, you jump into a server, spawn (so you don't get kicked for inactivity) and stick around for a while. Grab flags, try out weapons, chat to people. Don't be a dick. If you can fly a helo, take it up and hand out some gunnery practice to people who can't usually get a pilot. Don't play to win, just play to play. It's not uncommon to have an informal truce so you can race the helicopters down Dragon Valley or learn to hit jets with tank guns or go looking for easter eggs. There are no rules to enforce any of this, and it's voluntary on everyone's part, but it's surprising how often people will agree to something like harassing you with AA missiles without killing you so you can figure out how to evade the bastards. Especially if you change places frequently.

I was always more of a chopper guy... but bf4 feels soooo different compared to bf3 in that respect. Jets were always fun but hard to grab when fighting for a seat, so I never gave it much time in bf4. Bf2... jump in the mod version and let me carpet bomb. Probably the most fun you cold have!
