EA Staff (Retired)Some games have been balanced, some unbalanced and some really unbalanced. Maybe it's a little bit better, hard to tell really. It's definitely still very buggy in general that I can say for certain. 😔
just making sure those of you posting in the last few hours know that matchmaking was turned off. Maybe that's why you're not seeing much difference.
@EA_Ataashi Just a little feedback on matchmaking.
I know @DarthFDG said matchmaking was turned off yesterday, but prior to that I found the games much more competitive most of the time which is a plus. What did happen though, was that the maps were repetitive. When I joined a game, once that round/map was finished, the notification at the bottom of the screen SEARCHING FOR GALACTIC ASSAULT may come up. Once it found a game in any era and finished the rounds in that era, the matchmaking would again search and many times you would end up playing the map prior to your last. For example, if I started playing on Kashyyyk, finished and then went to Kamino, finished both rounds there, the matchmaking could have me back on Kashyyyk again. Map rotation seems to have gone out the window. I'm not sure whether it is trying to keep a player in the same era all the time. I hope I explained this well enough. The repetition of maps is annoying and as it stands I rarely get to play some maps.

to add to this...
I found I would sometimes end up on the same side (e.g. darkside) multiple times in a row.
This didn't bother me much. I'd rather be on the same side with an even match than different sides with an uneven match. I just wanted to call it out for anyone interested.
Again matchmaking has been on is this permanent now, I hope not because it is still 💩
@EA_Ataashi - Matchmaking was turned on even though it is not working. Its not matching people with equal skills and is placing people in lobbies where the sit and wait - i.e. takes longer to get in matches than before. This is a step backwards.
Can you please get it turned off?
Thx
