Lack of Firestorm Servers Australia BFV

When is this problem going to be fixed....

I searched for 2 Hours and got into 2 games in the Asia region at 180 ping.

I would like a response from EA on what is been done for Firestorm in Battlefield V

Can't seen to get onto Oceania servers until around 7PM at night, simply not good enough

☹️

    Yeah,

    The answers the EA Atic guy gives are totally useless.

    He's just rehasing old information and doesn't actually have anything new.

    The Oceania servers are not there.

    And can't even get onto Singapore servers anymore it seems (currently been in queue for about 25 minutes).

  • It's been weeks since I could play Firestorm Australia.

    Would this qualify for a refund?

    @Man-Furr 

    Are you able to get into a match now?

    Afternoon folks -

    Super quick update on a backend change that we've made for Firestorm today. This is all on the server side so you won't need to grab a patch or anything to see the changes.

    🔧 The 60 second pre-round timer now activates when 32 players are connected, and have loaded into the lobby.

    🔧 Said timer will now instantly skip to 10 seconds when 64 players have loaded in.

    🔧 We've also reduced the number of players required to create a lobby in Firestorm. These will spawn without a timer until 32 players have connected.

    Unfortunately I cannot join servers (16/05/19) even with new changes. I don't know if the latest changes would help as I assume alot of Australian players have abandoned trying to join and not from a lack of trying. 

    In the past being unable to join servers was not from a lack of numbers but I fear that is the case now. The mode was enjoyable but not sure it can be revived in Aus.

  • We can get into a match when it connects us I think to the Singapore / Asia server .. and the ping I get is like 120 which is fine and the player count goes up fast...🙂

    But when it connected us to the Australian server in which I was getting about 25 ping, we only had low numbers of players as most of  Australia thinks firestorm is dead.  
    People need to be made aware  that our region is working properly, could you possibly do something about this?  :eahigh_file:

    It is good that we can finally connect and wait in the large room while waiting for enough people to join rather than searching for a game and timing out.

    It would be great if we had the choice of connecting to the Asia or Australian Server.  

    Just so you know many of my New Zealand buddies are still receiving 250+ pings when connecting to Australia/Asia servers which seems strange

    Its a darn joke i dont under stand why it takes so long to find a match and then it says maych making cancelled  they could just add bots for now till they can find a long term solution but na the gotta add more usless stuff to the game.its a good game just need better developers

  • @TRDB00STED I can usually get a game in the afternoon-evening now within 3-5 mins if its working.. feel free to add me in origin if you want to squad up (Fuzzi_Wuzzi_Bear)
  • This is definitely NOT RESOLVED> Please fix the servers in Australia and New Zealand please. Conquest have multiple Australian Servers so why is there issues with Firestorm with player numbers or even being able to connect at all. Atleast half of those players on Aus/NZ servers for conquest would want to try Firestorm Including me i played a few games when it first released and have come back to it and cant seem to get a match now.....

  • And how about malaysia? I waited for too long and still doesn’t work.. this is so frustrating, EA.
