EA Staff (Retired)Yeah, i'm just worried in general to be honest.
Being able to play multiplayer consistently is my top priority but that'll be useless if it gets fixed but then all the other fixes bring new or previous game breakers into the fold.
I probably spend as much time on this forum as I do playing the game so if all doesn't go swimmingly after tomorrow then that's it... i'm done with both.
Can't go on with the high levels of anxiety and frustration caused by this product and its endless flaws, even if it is Star Wars.
Plus there's plenty of other ways to waste my time, but I won't waste £70 on another game in a hurry though that's for sure.
Fingers crossed.
Hey pat on the back @SnowmanHD when you're right your right mate. EA so well done and congratulations the issue of ping site changing itself is solved but error 1066 and empty lobbies continues. On the way home from work today I thought I'm sure EA won't let me down again. I'll get home download the update get some new content and happily play the game. Hey 🖕to you too.
@Tinogiggedy @SnowmanHD @felker_s - Looks like the update definitely fixed the ping site issue - I am now able to again use and maintain the Aust Site and not have the slow internet connection dialogue in the top r/h corner. I did have a scare the first time I searched for a game after the update when it took ages to find a game then put me in a near empty lobby. Fortunately, after a few seconds that lobby started to fill so I guess people were completing their update at the time I joined.
The jury is still out on the ion torpedo nerf but playing on Tatooine last night, it seems that the AT-ST is harder to kill unless you can get him from the rear (3 torpedos won't take him out from the front unless prior damage has occurred). My opinion is that they may have got the nerf right but I haven't used them against starfighters yet.
To - @EA_Ataashi @EA_Atic (and anyone else at EA monitoring these forums).
Well...
I did the same as @Tinogiggedy yesterday, downloaded the update, went on my merry way to work and thought lets see if the server issue is still there when you get home...
Got back about 10.30pm and switched my Xbox on straight away in anticipation.
And low and behold other than some admittedly nice visual updates and the fact that the ping site now stays on UK (as it should/did in the past) then I have to say my fears and predictions have been confirmed and not one iota of difference has been made to the consistency of multiplayer matchmaking or the ability of the servers to do their job.
I STILL cannot get into lobbies, when I do they are empty, I did manage to get in GA and SA last night but only when I switched my ping back to Ireland from it's now UK default, which totally defeats the object, and it was still hit and miss to get a match anyway!
The whole thing just smacks of incompetence and a lack of quality control.
I am my wits end now and am seriously one post away from quitting this forum altogether unless you can provide me and everyone else with some answers! I mean what is the point in coming here day after day if our efforts to get resolutions and improve the gaming experience for ourselves and others is completely in vain? This forum does not help people in my opinion anymore (if it ever did), it is just delivering false promises of imaginary fixes in an effort to shut people like myself up. People who rightly stand up for themselves when as a consumer/customer their expectations are not fulfilled.
If that was the objective or hidden agenda then well done... you have succeeded.
Before I do give up for good I will ask one final time for some answers in some kind of last gasp attempt to get you to restore some of the faith I used to have.
So...
I see on Twitter everyone is now saying things to EA and Ben Walke like "well done", "great job", "ignore the toxic community" etc, etc.
For what? Have these people got amnesia? Are these suck ups serious? Why shouldn't we be a bit toxic when we don't get what we're promised or paid for? This game is plagued with problems and has been since day one, and now all we get is few and extremely far between updates with a couple of new skins and no new maps/modes/characters for months!? Oh, and a roadmap that says "winter" comes after November!? FYI it pretty much already is winter now here in the UK. Anyway, I digress...
Please respond, and not with the usual "have you tried switching it off and back on again" or "we'll pass this on to the devs" rubbish that is so often the scripted response in these situations! I'm smarter than that. And so are the majority of people. We deserve the truth. And results!

Hi, all - would be awesome to post any feedback on the ping site issue in the thread for the ping site issue -> https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Update-Ping-Site-Issues/td-p/6952137/jump-to/first-unread-message
DICE TeamHeya,
The ping site issue has been confirmed fixed, your ping site will now save as it should.
We're also looking into the reports of being unable to find a match. This includes both empty lobbies and error 1066.
We identified some issues earlier this morning and they should now be resolved. If you're still having trouble, please let us know and add your region and platform.
