EA Staff (Retired)EOR Matchmaking is complicated and somewhat better but lacks a few touches, in my humble opinion. Most of the code needed to change it is bottled up in the process of "After round, which players go where" and then any groups go there. " Sometimes the game does well in filling the lobby but recently with a lower number of players, ( likely due to the new games out all time) we often get stuck sitting in a lobby that will not fill or kicked to the menu.
It is working as designed but perhaps some help could be provided. ADD a BOT to get the lobby going after 3 mins. This is good for all modes. When new players enter, remove the bot.
I played in a 6v6 Starfighter game that for whatever reason ended up being 5 v 2. I have 112 kills due to bots and bombers that we could not get to fast enough. Game was intense. Bots do help.
Important thing is to get the games moving so that those who do play do not wait too long and leave. For those who are new to the game, they will absolutely hate waiting in a lobby and will stop playing..
With new content, movies or special XP days, play picks up and lobbies start fast. But when the lobby is slow, a bot or 2 would help players enjoy the game !
Thanks
This thread is now 8 months old and has problems that were 5 months old on it.
When will these be fixed?
