Devs increase servers in Australia

[THE MOURNIVAL]

Every-time i have seen in Australia, there has been populated servers that are full, now there is only 1 server and there at least needs to be a minimum of 3. I know you base your servers on active players, but there must be something wrong with your game population metrics. Also returning players that come on are going to see a player Que on 1 server and leave the game, because id rather have a 3 min que time than compete with 32 in the line.

Server cues are sus and seem wrong and misleading. Plus I've teed up with other players to all go to menu and cue in 32vs32 and it still says none or low number... No ability to cue up properly, with empty or full server cues except clicking like a maniac or having it suggest silly out of region servers, then saying a timer, then not starting as there aren't 16 players... who wants to cue like that? I am desperately wanting 32vs32 rush back...

Almost no one in australia m8. Irrelevant L

Increasing the servers won't automatically increase the available players. Servers are enabled and disabled based on demand. Although not so granular that they'll boot up a 16vs16 to get those 32 out of the queue.

But people in relatively small regions such as yours should be used to that by now.

You've missed the point already though; the cue does not work properly and you can't cue properly. So if there was a rotating 32vs32 server, people of any number could join and just straight up play, others could see it in the browser and join too. Instead we are stuck with not being able to play at all.

If there was an active server it would populate very quickly. There's a bunch of Oceania players wanting to get into these servers and we can't.

We were getting 10+ full servers in the OCE region less than 2 weeks ago. Now we're only getting 1 or 2 servers and it doesn't seem we can get any more, no matter how hard we try.

Dedicated servers cannot come fast enough. What "community" servers there are are all locked with no players...

If you're just stuck with the queue bug (yes, queue, not cue), then use the server browser and keep clicking until you can join. Normally it takes less than a minute.
The queue always has been poorly coded. That's nothing new.

You'd have to ask about that on their Discord. But to my knowledge, servers are provided as demanded. Though they pulled some trashy stuff before (e.g. somewhat betraying Patreons), so it's entirely possible they're cutting your region to save money. Or most people in that region simply lost interest. Who knows.

I kicked up a stink a while ago about the lack of 64v64 servers, to which I got "no one was queuing for them so they aren't put up" response, despite there being 10+ FULL 127v127 servers. Surely there could be at least one server available of all 3 main sizes, with others popping up as needed?

I was told to just wait for dedicated servers, but we don't know how long that will be or if there's even going to be much of a playerbase left by the time they arrive

In that case you're stuck. Whether they're telling the truth or just trying to appease you, we wouldn't know.
Though the majority does seem to be consisting of...average individuals...that are very much drawn to the mess that is 127vs. So it's at least conceivable that there's a demand for those servers, but too little for anything less.

We dont have any servers in USA, why would the make anymore in Commustralia ?!

It's been trash, there hasn't been a 32v or 64v server since the 2.0 patch. Anytime you bring it up in game chat everyone says they miss it. There's clearly a demand but for whatever reason the servers just aren't opening up anymore. Nobody wants to sit there waiting in a queue that doesn't work, and at this rate not many more will be hanging around waiting for community servers to open up.

I just wanna play some Rush bros..
