High Ping in Firestorm (Australia)
Hello Yesterday when I played Firestorm the ping was fine, not too high. Today every Firestorm game that I join has a high ping, hovering at about 200 or more. What is going on? Are servers down? ...

DICE TeamHey everyone,
We have an update about server for Firestorm in Australia.
Hello Battlefield V: Firestorm players!
As you know, we released Battlefield V: Firestorm on Monday, March 25th, 2019. Since then we’ve been listening to feedback from our players around the globe.
One of the key points we’ve focused on is the matchmaking in specific regions – particularly Brazil, Australia/Oceania, and South Africa.
Matchmaking in Battlefield V: Firestorm requires a certain amount of players to be connecting at the same time to initiate a server. Unfortunately, in some regions with lower player populations, this increases matchmaking time or forces players to connect to pingsites that are more populated.
We are continuing to look at options to improve this situation without having players connect to empty servers, and we’re always listening to your feedback. We’ll keep you posted on any updates or changes as we identify and roll out more solutions.
Thanks and we’ll see you on the battlefield!

Couldn't an option be added where all us Aussies opt to wait that bit longer for a local region server? Because all the squad groups I've been getting take the extra time rejoining/remaking to get a local/lower ping anyway...
I complete agree, if it really means waiting a bit longer to get a ping under 200, I'm in. Thanks for the update in any case. Looking forward to being able to play at a reasonable ping.
