Not finding games in australia :(

Hi, I love playing Firestorm very much... but I have not been able to find games in any of the modes (Single, Duo of Squad).
This has been the case all week.. if I do find a game it takes many attempts.. a lot of waiting and once I’ve played once I have to go through it all again.. can be up to 20 mins and many attempts just to get in one game.

Anyone else finding this in NSW Australia??

It's a very frustrating experience attempting to play FS if you're in the Oceania region right now mate. Least it is on PC. Love the mode but I'm just about over the terrible experience of trying to get a game of any variety.

Would like to play Firestorm and give you an honest my opinion but alas no game can be found.

Same, I played a couple games of squad the night they announced the "changes" to matchmaking, but haven't been able to get in since then, despite consistently trying (by consistently I mean hours every single day) for the last week.

3 games for 10hrs of matchmaking. Never had problem until these “changes”.
Wtf is going on. Love this game but really can’t be stuffed waiting hours to actually join.
Has there been any update at all on what’s going on?

Yea no longer getting put into NA servers with high ping but now struggling to find a game out side of peak. Only seem to be able to find a squads games between 6pm - 9 pm NZT. Am unable to find any duos or solos game at all any time of day. Player base just seems to be to small to support this game mode. Next step console Cross play #dreams

timing out every time. nobody playing or this matchmaking is just BAD!

I suspect a lot of players tired VERY quickly of the waits to get into games. I love the game also... but tbh, I like Apex more. It could just be that I don't have that furious feeling of frustration of waiting.... and waiting... and getting kicked.... and waiting.... but I flicked back over to Apex about 5 days ago & haven't booted up Firestorm since.

This is how Dice lost their player base in Battlefront2... and how I imagine they've already lost their Aus Firestorm player base. People won't wait for weeks and keep trying when they can spend those hours actuallyplaying a game having fun.

We've all got ADD these days. You get a couple of days to screw up and then you either fix your issues or peeps move on.

Yup, I think this horse has well and truly bolted because there was no stable door in the first place. Makes me so sad.

It`s Sunday evening and no ones playing.Can`t get a game.Looks like Batt 5 is had it.

I think it is time for some class action against EA for not providing a complete working game. I have never been able to get a game of firestorm, Therefore EA needs to be held accountable for this defect. Yes, I am in Australia too. At least a partial refund should be given to those that cannot access this part of the game.

Very disappointing.

Anyone know a good lawyer?
