Re: Lack of Firestorm Servers Australia BFV

And yet whenever I searched for a Squad I would instantly find 3 players to join me.  There wasn't a lack of players in Australia, I had at least 6 friends trying to connect to the game also.
There isn't a lack of people in Australia who want to play firestorm, please set up 24/7 servers in Australia for us... or at least 1 !

Is this seriously your response as the Community Manager? so personable...you are really trying to build trust with your community.

Where is your passion and drive to help the community you respresent?

We are obviously are having issues with a mode that was promised and sold to us. We have been left in the dark and just feed responses drafted by the EA legal team. 

If its a player issue, why are you not trying to getting the community together? or organising events and times to enable us to play.

Such a poor response, so dissapointing.

Worst of all; the issue is marked as RESOLVED. ffs

I have been unable to get any type of game since i purchased the game

I reckon if you can't fix the problem and give Australia its own servers then you should refund our money.

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

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