I just queue'd up with 4 friends and waited for 10 minutes for a match that was clearly against overseas players, during what should be peak Australian gaming hours.

We've even tried splitting up an queueing at the same time, but after 5mins, 3 of us got a game, and another 5mins 2 of us got another. All these matches were unplayable and laggy. (0-50% of hits registering on target).

Is the Australian playerbase just dead now? It's in a considerably worse state than when I stopped playing 2 weeks ago.

There are people who literrally cannot play multiplayer with their friends right now. Can't even find matches vs AI.

Pretty heartbreaking. We NEED private lobbies to save this game.

At LEAST allow friends to play with eachother privately.

We took a first pass on some tuning changes but we may have over-corrected, so we’re going to keep trying to find the right balance between matchmaking times and match quality for ANZ players until things feel right.

Is New Zealand included in that?

Yes. It's affecting the ANZ region.
