Re: Star Wars Battlefront II - Release Notes – Elite Corps Update

To - @EA_Ataashi @EA_Atic (and anyone else at EA monitoring these forums).

Well...

I did the same as @Tinogiggedy yesterday, downloaded the update, went on my merry way to work and thought lets see if the server issue is still there when you get home...

Got back about 10.30pm and switched my Xbox on straight away in anticipation.

And low and behold other than some admittedly nice visual updates and the fact that the ping site now stays on UK (as it should/did in the past) then I have to say my fears and predictions have been confirmed and not one iota of difference has been made to the consistency of multiplayer matchmaking or the ability of the servers to do their job.

I STILL cannot get into lobbies, when I do they are empty, I did manage to get in GA and SA last night but only when I switched my ping back to Ireland from it's now UK default, which totally defeats the object, and it was still hit and miss to get a match anyway!

The whole thing just smacks of incompetence and a lack of quality control. 

I am my wits end now and am seriously one post away from quitting this forum altogether unless you can provide me and everyone else with some answers! I mean what is the point in coming here day after day if our efforts to get resolutions and improve the gaming experience for ourselves and others is completely in vain? This forum does not help people in my opinion anymore (if it ever did), it is just delivering false promises of imaginary fixes in an effort to shut people like myself up. People who rightly stand up for themselves when as a consumer/customer their expectations are not fulfilled.

If that was the objective or hidden agenda then well done... you have succeeded. 

Before I do give up for good I will ask one final time for some answers in some kind of last gasp attempt to get you to restore some of the faith I used to have.

So...

• Is it the UK ping site that has a fault over others or are people in other regions still experiencing this server issue?
• Are you aware that this has not been fixed, and if so what is the official word on it?
• WHY is this still an issue? (Surely this update/fix should have been thoroughly tested before release?)
• WHEN will this be resolved properly?

I see on Twitter everyone is now saying things to EA and Ben Walke like "well done", "great job", "ignore the toxic community" etc, etc.

For what? Have these people got amnesia? Are these suck ups serious? Why shouldn't we be a bit toxic when we don't get what we're promised or paid for? This game is plagued with problems and has been since day one, and now all we get is few and extremely far between updates with a couple of new skins and no new maps/modes/characters for months!? Oh, and a roadmap that says "winter" comes after November!? FYI it pretty much already is winter now here in the UK. Anyway, I digress...

Please respond, and not with the usual "have you tried switching it off and back on again" or "we'll pass this on to the devs" rubbish that is so often the scripted response in these situations! I'm smarter than that. And so are the majority of people. We deserve the truth. And results!
