Basically the title says it all. We’ve been trying to join the same game with friends and there are no free objective servers in EU region for objective mode with more than 2 two free spots at best. The recent change in matchmaking done to the objective mode is suffering from its popularity and we definitely need to have more servers.
I hope you understand that it is a real need. Thanks.
Kinda suspicious then that half of the eu servers dissapeared for me during execution weekend and didn’t return.
Odd, I haven’t noticed any lack of Objective servers for the EU region. It’s hard to find a Stopwatch server during non-peak times but there’s always at least a dozen Objective servers that are populated and not full.
Can you confirm that you do not have any filters checked for has players and full servers? Also, make sure any written filters aren’t excluding some EU servers too. I’ve passed this along but this info would be nice to know.
On Monday and Tuesday evening it was impossible to find an empty server. If you’re 5 players and up who want to join the same server, because you need to do objective mode missions and prefer to play around friends, it is impossible. Single players or duos at best is what one can find.
The only filters I had was +EU -MAX as I can’t play in max level 5 servers. I had all tick boxes unchecked and ping set to any. I’ve been using the server browser for a long time now and am aware when there is actually a lack in servers. For instance: stopwatch servers were fine, enough empty servers. Objective though were mostly full, be it 6vs6, 7vs7 or 8vs8. The new system has really drawn a lot of people to the more balanced objective games and it can be felt in the lack of free spots.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Based on it we’ve added more all-level servers in S. America and AUS. We also moved some of the capacity over from the level-locked servers in AUS since they weren’t used as much as the all-level servers. Finally, we just added more Objective, and a few more SW servers in EU.
Hey, I’m back here again because overall server numbers seem fine now, but there is still a lack of empty 6vs6 objective servers in EU during the evening. As it is the most favorited type of game and one really struggles to find more than a couple individual spots at once.
Also, the lack of free spots makes people refresh the server browser many times, reducing the overall performance of the servers noticeably. Lag has started to affect games strongly and more servers could help ease both problems.
For me it’s just stopwatch atm altough I only play it for missions (and I actually never look at what the player size of the server is).
