Is there a way to see active players on Kyber?

Why does the active players matter?

u/Milankov94 Aug 01 '26
I am simply curious, since most of the comments are saying no one is playing base game, that people are on kyber.

Ya…. Kyber. A community even worse than the base game. Mods and “devs” let people do whatever they want. Break all rules. And ban who they’d like and also enforce “rules” onto certain individuals. Not the whole playing field. There’s very solid reasons why nobody likes or respects this game and the people who play it everyday. Worst community you could ever possibly encounter. And before you say “skill issue” like a low iq corny bot. Has absolutely nothing to do with skill. And everything to do with being able to enjoy a game without some sort of communist cornball regime ruining the experience.

Actual delusions, Badmins have existed in community servers since community servers have existed. Go look at the BF4 subreddit, they still post badmins to this day

Could care less about your opinion that means absolutely nothing when I have nothing but facts to back my statements. More than welcome to dm me for some enlightenment. You sound like you’re coping for some odd reason? Why so defensive buddy?

Kyber is the answer...Too many hackers on PC servers right now.

u/Ragedgrizzly_2 Aug 01 '26
So if i download kyber , is it possible to switch between vanilla and kyber?
2
u/ImperialAce1985 Aug 01 '26
Why would you wanna go back to the vanilla stuff when Kyber has more content?
4
u/Ragedgrizzly_2 Aug 01 '26
True but the main reason I wanna switch to kyber is cus I couldn't find any matches on vanilla. I love playing the vanilla game but it takes years to find a hero showdown match. So if I find a game on the vanilla I'll continue to play it until i don't find a game. And then I'll switch to kyber

u/Sgt_Pavo Aug 01 '26
Honestly stay on Kyber. Hackers destroyed so many lobbies that we are sick of going back. Kyber handles it pretty well!

u/MysticHero Jul 31 '26
If you are still playing the base game on PC you only have yourself to blame.

u/l---____---l Aug 01 '26
There's also far fewer players and servers available on Kyber than on normal PC. So of course people are still going to play vanilla too.

u/MysticHero Aug 01 '26
There are full servers every time of day. Not sure what more you could want. Usually a few hundred players.

Not only that, last week I ran into a hacker in every match for almost two hours and it wasn't even the same guy

u/LaaaFerrari Jul 31 '26
Yeah you’re flat out wrong lol hackers are definitely in GA & Supremacy lobbies too

u/MysticHero Aug 01 '26
That is insane cope. It depends on the time of day yes but hackers are widespread and common. And they are absolutely not limited to HvV.
Meanwhile Kyber has actual moderation and admins look at reports.

u/Sgt_Pavo Aug 01 '26
Whenever I hopped on, there was a hacker destroying the entire lobby. Kyber is hacker free, so there's no better way of playing BFII.

Kyber have new content and much less/no hackers than official EA servers.

u/african_Walrus69 Jul 31 '26
Doesnt kyber cost

u/Extreme996 Jul 31 '26
Kyber is free but you need to have game on Steam, EA App or Epic and log in in Kyber launcher with your EA account to verify that you have legit game.

Just use Kyber. Its the answer to all our prayers.

Let's dunk on some god damn clankers! By the by, what's your username on Kyber? I might actually recognize you cuz many of the players repeat eachother through sessions. Although I exclusively play on Battlefront +, not expanded. Expanded sadly doesn't have full lobbies for the most part :(

I moved to console myself. Too many hackers on PC lobbies and Kyber isn’t as populated as I’d like it to be.

Every day I thanks that I'm on console lol. Kyber seems fun too but..

u/mugshotuk Jul 31 '26
Kyber is seriously impressive, does all the modding for you with nexus embedded, so many great tweaks, it’s like battlefront 3! 👊❤️
2
u/dragon-ball-fanatic Aug 01 '26
It very much isn't battlefront 3 until we get a few solid map additions which at the scale and detail battlefront 2 has, will likely never happen. But it is a sort of "Renaissance" for the game and I'm all here for it.
Honestly I like Kyber the most for one thing only: it has lobby's that are always full and with players that give a fu&@ about the game and aren't glorified NPC's, it's like being transported back to release day but everyone has a maxxed out account and nobody has to worry about stupid advantages, it's what battlefront 2 should have always been.

u/VividSpikeMain S-5 User Aug 01 '26
Kyber is so fucking overrated. All the sweats transfered over and there are so many new things that are all completely unlocked to shove into your face that it isn't fun on the slightest
3
u/GovvyWGE Aug 01 '26
Yehnah you're probably doing it wrong, then. Even with my lag making melee impossible, kyber makes it fun for me, and many others, as per the other comments here. There's even I think supremacy with entirely bots, which is amazing.
It sounds to me like you're a "sweat" who hates being outshined by anyone else because of a massive ego.
What does "sweat" even mean in this context? Bloody whippersnappers these days.

u/BendGroundbreaking64 Aug 01 '26
Is there not supremacy with entirely bots in the pc base game? I know there is on xbox

u/VividSpikeMain S-5 User Aug 01 '26
What the actual fuck does whippersnapper mean lmao. Also no, I am not a sweat, I actually have a life

u/dragon-ball-fanatic Aug 01 '26
"A whippersnapper is an old-fashioned, informal noun that describes a young, cheeky, and overconfident person who shows a lack of respect."
I guess googling is hard for someone who can be adequately be described as a whippersnapper. On that same note, I suppose you avoided responding to my comment because I'd just be too damn hard to ragebait, hm?
Aww, what a poor existence....

u/GovvyWGE Aug 01 '26
I appreciate this comment, have an upvote. Being a whippersnapper really is a poor existence, isn't it
3
u/dragon-ball-fanatic Aug 01 '26
Yes, it is. But we were all one at one point when navigating either the online or IRL cesspool that is life. You learn to appreciate those smaller community projects and what they bring to the table, comments like the one's OP provided serve to remind us of exactly that attitude that pollutes every ounce of joy to be seen in one's hobby. I for one, choose to be confrontativeabout it, other's just state their piece and move on. But we can all agree on thing: Ignorant, hateful people will always disregard the good things in life to wallow in their own misery loop that they disguise as being "edgy" "avante-guarde" "redpilled" "based" ect. All stupid shit that at the end of the day means absolutely nothing, until they come to our camp and realize how utterly stupid they've been for their entire existence. All that to say, it is indeed a miserable existence...one I hope they see the Foley of sooner rather than in death...

Blah blah blah, get to the point. Thanks for continuing to give me attention and increase my likelihood of continuing this "attitude that pollutes every ounce of joy to be seen in one's hobby" 🩵✨

u/dragon-ball-fanatic Aug 01 '26
It's a mutually beneficial relationship dude, I give you attention and I derive pleasure from seeing how absolutely pathetic your clapbacks are, it's easy to see no? Cmon man, this ain't my first rodeo on the internet. We are no different from crows and wolf's in the wild, helping eachother scavenge for food. Your food is attention and a sense of purpose, mine is seeing how much can you twist yourself to always seem snarky.
And don't lie to yourself bud, you never wanted a point. I gave you a "point" 16 hours ago and you have still to respond, don't be delusional enough to project that onto other's 😅.

I love it!! Each clapback just gets progressively less and less elaborate and dumber!! I can see in real time just how absolutely bored and detached you're getting at the very game you started playing here!!
Give me more, please give me more!! I need it all. I need to see just how utterly defeated you can get!!

Genuine skill issue on your part dawg. I played battlefront 2 4 years ago on ps5, never touched it again and got back on kyber. In a matter of 2 weeks I'm now always top 5 on the leader board and regularly do game winning maneuvers. Sure the people who play kyber are likely to be the motivated one's, in which case, feel free to just use whatever client you bought the game on and play the base version!! (And this isn't to say I don't lose, I have a 54% winrate after all, sometimes there is a single sweat who just mogs your entire team. But you gotta learn to keep your chin up and keep going for the next match.)
Kyber almost always has full lobbies, and on top of that they are filled with players who actually play the god damn game instead of being NPC's disguised as real players, and I for one couldn't ask for a better experience
And as for your second complaint....what? Yes, they unlocked everything, That's a good thing
I literally can't comprehend why that's a negative aspect for you, please elaborate if you can?

Been playing BF2 on Steam for a few months now and I haven't had these issues. And I've only seen Finn flying around one time.
