Hopefully it is an issue with matchmaking and not a depleted player base in Oceania, but personally I think it is the latter tbh. The problem is, that the game was thrown out at full price and with EA marketing desperate to get Firestorm out so they can start cashing in on cosmetic sales PUBG style... it feels as if they've dodged the other issues that plague the game (bugs, cheating etc) and just chucked it out. Trouble is that because they didn't look after the community or try and build it..(and haven't since BF4 tbh) players have dropped off quickly. Attention spans are short these days and with so many other free BR games around, Firestorm isn't going to really cut it.....before they even fix it they have already got their hands out again wanting people to shell out for "Elites".
They won't, but to save this game and make it playable and an ongoing thing, Firestorm needs to be a offered as a free standalone, then sell the skins that paid players already have, this will push some people into buying the full game and look after the people that did buy the game. To paid players, all content should be available via unlock or shortcut pay, and to standalone pay model only.
How EA/Dice constantly misunderstand what is surely patently obvious is beyond me.
PUBG, built it's audience on low cost beta, refined it over a long time before skimming off micro transactions.......Fix the game, build back the player base and then monetize ....in that order not monetize first.....taking away clan servers killed the community too. It's all very well saying you're "listening to the community" but it's all hype and same old EA tbh.
If the issue is Oceania, then do something about it quickly or the next BF will have even less interest.
