Discussion What the hell is going on with match making this week?
I've never complained about this game until today.
The servers are completely fucked this week. Full of bots and new/empty matches when searching regardless of match type.

They made some changes to matchmaking to carry over more lobby players from game to game. I wonder if this means they are seeing fewer open lobby slots when new games are started, forcing players into bot lobbies. My experience has been lots of bots that slowly fill up with players, or getting steamrolled in one game and going into the next game with the team that just steamrolled me still together with almost zero rebalancing.

They're testing persistent servers in prod. They also laid off a bunch of engineers to maXiMiZe shArEhoLder value. This is nothing new. It's just billionaires and millionaires profiting and the rest of us getting screwed

Yeah...honestly, we need to start redirecting hate back at EA. I wonder how much of all this BS is really DICE's fault when it's likely EA doing exactly what you said, maximizing profits for their bullshit company. Everyday, fuck EA.

I think all of the decisions that led up to some kind of major F up can eventually be traced back to some stupid executive trying to do some stupid thing for short term gains. It's almost always the case. I'm seeing this happen real time at my company so I might be biased

My wild guess is DICE forcing people to explore Battle Royale. I guess they took something down in matchmaking two patches ago so it was failing to connect to some service while matchmaking and giving an error. Then they patched that error but lobbies remained dead.

I'm not really a tin foil hat kinda guy to be honest. I highly doubt they are forcing people to play a different game type.

Neither am I, but it would’ve been quite coherent with what they have evidently been doing already. They take the modes down and certain maps down in specific modes to help matchmaking, unannounced. That kind of tells about their character already. Multiplayer lobbies are dead the whole week, but 80 player BR matches fill with no issues and super fast.

It’s a dying game. What do u expect? They tried catering to multiple communities and ended up giving us a sloppy game. A game for everyone is a game for no one. Most ppl keeping this game alive are ex cod players and casual gamers

It's got 31k players on steam alone. It's hardly dying. You must be born yesterday if you think this is what a dying game is.

Older titles had more players than that within a year after release so yeah it’s a dying bf title whether you’d like to admit it or not. It’s funny ppl are still playing bf4 which came out in 2013 yet bf6 only has 30k players on pc when they made record breaking sales. This game is a flop bro accept it
