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!

Hi, my mates and I have been looking forward to this for a long time and we are getting the same issue,
I am a long time battlefield supporter, to say I've been excited about a battlefield battle royale for a long time would be an understatement.
My issue is this, I play on Xbox and am from Australia, the first couple of days of firestorm were great but now I am getting 180/200+ ping servers most games (obviously out of my region) this makes the game unplayable as the hit reg and Desync is beyond frustrating (I have clips if you want to see),
What are you going to do to fill the player base as I feel they will give up on this very quickly despite the fact you've created the best BR experience? My suggestion would be to give firestorm away for free and go for micro transactions for revenue like fortnite and apex do, all existing players might get the first season for free as a thank you for buying the game,
I will not give up on battlefield but I can't play firestorm with 200+ ping
