Hello EA Answers HQ Community! -As all Brazilians (like me) know, Firestorm is almost unplayable at our region due to the high latency, the infamous LAG. With the release of the mode the feedback...

    Hey people;

    An addition that I've forgotten to mention yesterday:

    Jeffrey Braddock, North American Community Manager for Battlefield, has commented about this issue on Twitter, saying:

    "The team is aware of the issues and working on solutions. When there's not enough people matchmaking for that specific mode (Squads or Solos) in that region, rather than have 5-10 minutes waiting in the lobby, it matchmakes you to the nearest populated region." Source.

    In the same thread of tweets, Julian Manolov, developer of Software Engineer for Battlefield, commented with Braddock about the possible fixes that could be implemented to the matchmaking, leaving clear though that at his position at DICE this is not his function, he said:

    "Seems there are players who want to have the option to turn off that timeout and are ok with waiting for longer. Saw it mentioned few times over the last few days". Source.

    "Or maybe a message after those 5-10 minutes - 'We found a server in a different region you can join - with the reply choices Join or Wait'". Source.

    These comments are of great importance, because they show that the problem is not only with the quantity of players available in that region, but also confirms that there's an issue with the matchmaking system.
    It also shows us that the team is aware, not only of the problem, but also of all fix suggestions and working on it.

    I ask you (the Community, just as myself) to keep supporting good ideas that can improve our experience in the Battlefield V and wait for more information.

    Friends, that's probably my last addition to this thread:

    Today, Jeffrey Braddock, North American Community Manager for Battlefield, has updated us with exciting news, he said:

    "BE ADVISED: Australian and South American #BattlefieldV #Firestorm players - we’ve adjusted some settings for matchmaking in your regions so you should be more able to matchmake in your region with better ping." Source.

    Through what I can experience in game, the matchmaking is now taking longer, waiting for more players to start a local server.

    Please Battlefield Community keep sending feedback about how it works for you.

      Poderia ser solucionado muito simplesmente se houvesse como filtrar a região desejada para a busca do servidor.

      It could be solved quite simply If there was a way to filter the desired region for server matchmaking. Ex: South America, North America.
