Let's wait until the new players come in and find into these sorts of problems themselves. Hopefully they would if this god-forsaken EoR thing isn't gone by then.
This MM doesn't improve team balance actually, and that's the bad part. Only intended for faster load times with matches, etc.

= My problem isn't necessarily with any bugs but with the matchmaking in general. There has to be a better way of matching people than just a random free-for-all matching the people who have played since day one against people who just started playing. When your level 10 on just the heavy and eveyone in the match has high 30's and even some 40's and they have all the cards unlocked?? I just have to know was smoking the crack pipe when you thought of that? How can you think that matching people who are at the end game against new players is in anyway going to keep a player base? The game is not fun when all you do is die within a few seconds of spawning. I am not saying I am a good player at all but when the person who kills you 15+ times is the 20-30+ levels ahead of you and all their cards are maxed... its just bogus. It makes you not even want to try to play the multiplayer. It's a joke and these people who have already made it to the top are just sitting there shooting fish in a barrel.
It seems to have been the major flaw in every battlefront game. Make a good story... **** all over the multiplayer matchmaker. I know that most of the poeple who are already at the other end are going to respond with stupid comments about how they think it is fine the way it is but I am far more certain that there are people who bought this game that will never come here and tell you what a **** job was done on the matchmaker.
EA keeps making the same ridiculous mistake over and over... pitting seasoned players against new players is going to make your new player rate stagnate. No one will have the patience to play a game that they die every 10 seconds. Hopefully someone at that company will pull the head out the exit long enough to realize this but I doubt it. I regret spending the money on this.
This feature does not improve player vs player team balance unfortunately. It is only intended to improve times in finding a match and building up lobbies. And plus, our comments won't get attention anymore as the thread will not merge to the first page anymore despite users commenting on it.
it would have been moved here anyways, they just wanna hide anything about the matching making being crap.
we are the resistance against the first order!
it was horrible for me aswell especially on blast and heroes vs villains on xbox. It has gotten somewhat better but its still bad. Ive recently started playing Extraction as its not that bad there and the game is actually fun/playable.
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Move along, move along...
You know, I 100% agree. This is wrong. To bury dissent is something you'd expect from... well let's not get political... but it's not what you'd expect from a software house based in a western democracy.
They're just trying to make it appear that EOR is fine. They don't want to go through the trouble of removing it, despite the fact that they promised they would.

Stop ignoring valid feedback and closing posts
I didn’t even point out EOR matchmaking as the main culprit, i pointed out the outright steamrolls that both this game and BFV are suffering from
If they know the issues exist, tell us. Im tired of “investigating” aka ignoring problems
It's amazing isn't it.
"Major technical problem stopping users from experiencing 80% of the game they PAID FOR for more than 50% of the time the game has existed and instead of fixing they are now covering it up"
Great job EA. I always liked your games but am seeing why there is so much dissatisfaction with your product. Will think twice before buying another that's for sure.

I just find it strange that I'm waiting for, lets say, Blast to fill up, sometimes it does, the game ends and then everyone has vanished after "finding" another supposed game and the room is empty.
Where did EVERYBODY go?
This situation happens repeatedly in the skirmish games.
So, I go to the other rooms and they're all empty too, with the exception of GA.
Why is it that GA is so heavily, 99%, promoted on the home screen? You have to hunt for any of the other 'rooms', but GA is ALWAYS in the largest, first thing you see, panel.
every weekday during prime-time (7pm-9pm) however, 4-5pm is the same.
all but GA

Right now it's 'Winter Break' in Japan, so there is some playing, but most rooms are still empty at all times.

So, lemme get this straight, you allow other posts about issues like HvV targeting float even tho “you have no updates at this time” for that either, what?
Here is the official comment: https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/comment/1273488#Comment_1273488
Yeah, if THAT is the reason...then how is it different than threads talking about new weapons, Heroes beyond Anakin, Extraction maps, Alien troop skins or fixes/changes TO ANYTHING that they "don't have any updates" to talk about??
So...it seems to be a completely illegitimate and irrational excuse. They are just trying their best (beyond anything else) to silence the issue.
It's 100% contradictory to every single other post in this forum regarding topics that there are "no updates" for....don't you agree?
Yes. I'm surprised they even addressed the issue on page 1. It makes them look even more shady. Just because you dont have an answer doesnt make the issue disappear, no matter how many threads you close or effectively close. People who haven't seen this thread will make new threads and there will be responses because this is a relevant issue.

Strike game finished. I hit 'matchmake'; fell into an empty room. Stayed empty for 30 mins (I jumped out and joined 'strike' again because sometimes I get into 'that' game). Still only one waiting, previous player.
Jumped out and tried blast (it's 8:50pm on a Friday): EMPTY!
After 5 minutes I jumped and tried Extraction: EMPTY!
Jumped out and tried SA:Got in an active game. No matchmaking; got immediately into a game!

IN JAPAN, ZERO GAMES, EXCEPT GA.
WE'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO PLAY GA IN JAPAN.
BATTLEFRONT IS A FAILURE IN JAPAN AND HAS BEEN FOR NEARLY A YEAR.
call of duty gets a game IMMEDIATELY, anytime.
BattlefrontII failing in Japan is like failing in adult entertainment in Los Angeles!
There is no excuse for it.

I have been buying EA games since the 1980s. This type of behavior is abhorrent. You may think I’m being overly dramatic but even the smallest supression of speech has had an adverse impact on society throughout history. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t make them wrong and certainly doesn’t make you right. Will the world crumble because EA has decided to supress our voice about Matchmaking? No. But the fact they would do it in this instance makes you wonder how they’d handle a more serious topic like cyber-bullying.

Its hypocritical, if nothing else
You can continue discussing the issue. However, please refrain from discussing moderation which is against the forum rules & guidelines.
Dropping this comment here as a gentle reminder that this topic isn't exempt from being closed if it breaks the forum rules.
Thanks!
I wouldn’t have to discuss moderation if this topic floated like it should
I’d also like to say how ironic it is you threaten to close the same post that has no updates for fixes
Censorship at its finest.
Everyone should just stop expecting them to do anything.
Then why issues threats of closing down something in which you all have no desire to fix or do anything about. But to only hide and merge threads talking about it?
You know, you'd get more respect from your CUSTOMERS if you'd at least acknowledge that you're 'starting to see a trend' or 'heard this a few times' or 'gotcha' or anything other than CONDESCENDING THREATS that you're going to 'shut us down'!
Nobody has respect for your 'team' because you seem to not be listening. The impression is that you have meetings where the banter goes something like this:
<i>Mr. CARE LESS A) "What's the latest on the messageboard?" (◔_◔)
Mr. CARE LESS
Mr. CARE LESS A) "Good. As long as they feel like they've got a place to go to complain."
Ms. CARE LESS C) "Exactly, they really don't know what's going on with the game like we do. Just keep them feeling like they're helping."
Mr. CARE LESS

jumped into an assault game after trying a few times to find one (whyever that is).
Got to continue to with another game.
After that, everyone vanished and all other rooms are EMPTY except for GA.
Again, why is all traffic funnelled into GA only. NO OTHER GAME ROOMS HAVE ANYONE IN THEM; NONE!
PLAYERS NEEDED: ANY!
Wow, that was rude
I'm not. I usually wait around for an hour searching around for a game with 98% bad luck.
Were you an early adopter of the game?
Unfortunately, I was; full package; what a waste.

I'm gonna wait for conquest.

Blast game filled after waiting 10 minutes. When the game finished I fell into Jabba's room with 1 other player. room was unable to fill for 30 mins (I jumped out and joined again because sometimes I get into 'that' game): COMPLETELY EMPTY!
Jumped out and tried Strike (it's 6:15pm): EMPTY!
I jumped and tried Extraction: EMPTY!
Jumped out and tried SA:Got in an active game. No matchmaking; got immediately into a game!

1) Right now it's 'Winter Break' in Japan, so there is some playing, but most rooms are still empty at all times.
2) A moderator told me to put this info, in this format, here. This is my third one, yet I have not received any Ack or anything from anyone. I suppose my time isn't as important as anyone "running" this shipwreck.
3) if you were really interested in collecting meaningful data about problems with your game, you would just make a form that feeds a database that you can parse out later, instead of me having to bold your questions to make it easier for you (or nobody) to read. Such a form would take 30 minutes to build; database and all.

Bury the evidence? lmao this is priceless.
I come here once a week or so to check this thread to see if this has been addressed so I can play again. I guess That's it then.
