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...

The game has been out for a week, and we're getting basically hardly any acknowledgement that this is even an issue.
Players from affected areas will simply not play the game as its not worth the trouble, and at this rate, by the time they do something, most of the player base from these affected areas will have already given up and left, meaning any fix they'll have done will be useless.
I've been wanting to play this game day after day but there's no point when you can't play with a good connection. You can't dogfight, you can't respond to anybody attacking you, and in a 5 vs 5 game, where fighting enemy players is a key aspect, having a player be unable to engage anything other than the PVE elements, with lag, hurts their team as well as completely eliminates half of their game modes!
Is it really that difficult to have an answer of "yes, its an issue and we'll fix it" or "yes, its an issue but we won't fix it"?
@StormJ7 It's tricky business for them if they say they won't fix it. You've already identified how many players would stop playing. And then ea had made a game for Americans only. Unethical business to sell games to the world that they can't play.

I replied directly to EA_Tom on his update thread today my first post was removed. Will see if the second one was kept. Asking them to acknowledge what theyre going to do about lag.
I just tried another 6 matches. My first one felt silky. 9 kills 1 death and 3 assists. Top player. Took second in the next game with 8-2
My final 4 were terrible. 0-6, 1-7, 2-5 and a final mediocre 3-3-2.
Even in the last one I chased this Xwing around in my TI for 5 minutes hitting him consistentky with lasers and 3 missles and he took zero damage. I eventually made him crash which made me feel good, I guess?
Keeping this thread visible because there is still no acknowledgment or transparency of this issue.
Still nothing.
I replied to EA_Charlemagne on the Steam forum 1.1 Update thread. Also gave a negative review and continue to post as much as I can everywhere about this.
It sucks that the wider community doesnt even care because it doesnt affect them at all. Theyll continue to shell out money because its a good star wars game and as long as the USA players are content thats all thats going to matter.
@momouk32 Typical imperial tactics! Yeah it isn't likely they'd say that, just wishful thinking, it'd open them up to many refunds and issues.
Rather ridiculous that far smaller companies with far less backing can set up servers around the world with little to no problem, and if there are problems can engage with the community quickly and give answers, but one of the largest can have these sorts of issues with little to no answers. Of course they don't display our in game ping, or even a red-yellow-green bars connection status, and that's something that would definitely be brought up when the game is being made, not like the whole team would just forget about it, that feature has been omitted for one reason or another.
Unfortunately the player loss will happen either way if they don't fix it, but of course the more players they lose the less reason they have to fix it, which has more players leave etc..
Guess it might be refund territory. Can always buy it again later if they fix it.
It's a shame, I really like this game when its working.
