How does server connection/matchmaking work?
For the life of me I cannot find the answers to these questions - which seems really absurd given the type of game this is. I know broad strokes - I know cross-play is a thing and the like. So I...

Why is there no regional match making selection? I am so * sick of this lag ea.

He's probably talking about things like this.

It makes this game a gamble and often very frustrating.@Terrorbyt3_66 Oh damn, that reddit clips brutal. Nearly a minute of accurate hits for a kill. x.x
Yeah man, game needs a region lock filter bad.
Trying to play past 2:00am is a nightmare.
Some people have weird work hours so their playtime might be different than everyone else's.While i appreciate the Community Manager taking notice of the thread and changing the title to Server Lag... Id still like to be clear that the entire process of matchmaking connection transparency and the lack of ingame ping/latency monitors is also part of the issue
Hey there guys,
I play the game for about 3 days now, I am from Germany and I thing mechanicaly the game runs Smooth and fine. Also controler support on PC/Steam is good. I see no disadvantage of either using a controller or Mouse. Thats all fine.
But hey you guys are right, sometimes I feel like putting Laser over Laser in my opponent and seeing in the Killcam that he got no damage at all (Yes I know shilds were up, but also not getting down).
EA I play competetive Games, Overwatch for example, and its very sensible with all its mechanic and matchmaking.
But You sell a competetive Game on a foundation with Peer to Peer Servers and also a wierd Matchmaking system wich throws just players in one Pool without even using the MMA and Ranked. Also is there a big issue with leavers, It took me 21 Games to absolve my 10 placement matches. Also it seems there is a confusing mechanic when there are leavers. Me in a team having a leaver, the game says the MMA is counting when leaving, and also get punished by loosing rankpoints when having only 4 or 3 ppl in my team, while the enemy team is rolling us. But I cant leave cause it gives me penalty. What in the World is that System EA?
Also I understand that there is a Meta, when there are different types of ships, it called stone, scissors, paper principe, where one class is weak to an other and strong for an other. But the TIE-Bomber it seems is the best allround ship in game. TIE-Bomber is scissors, paper and stone in one, thats not acceptable.
I noticed, when enemy is just using Bombers the game is already lost, big ships fall in a finger snip.
Honestly the Game principe is very good, it could be a great competetive Game if you EA would stop beeing selfish and turn it into a playable comp game so there can bee E-Sport cause it has that potencial, but if you dont take care now, than its to late.
Otherwise this Game will be a big ballon lossing its air very fast, what a shame.
sry for gramma and mistakes, I tried to give ma best english :D

Greetings from Austria 🙂
Dedicated servers in different regions would be the ideal solution to minimize the issues at hand. I've been lucky with the connection most of the time, but every now and then I seem to have jitter issues with enemies rubberbanding the moment I start shooting them.
Personally I did not notice huge balancing issues, but maybe the bombers could really be nerfed slightly.
