Date / Time: Sunday, 14th April, 9:30 PM, Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Steps taken:
1. I log back to Dust immediately following downtime.
2. I constantly, and repeatably, queue Ambush, Ambush OMS and Skirmish.
3. Each and every time I queue the above game modes I receive the message 'No battle available'.
4. The above steps are repeated constantly for fifty (50) minutes.
5. After fifty (50) minutes of queuing Dust 514 and never entering a battle I give up, and shut down my PS3.
Noteworthy points for CCP:
1. Your beta / player base is all but dead. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as to why?
2. Your (time) duration between meaningful content / software updates is too great for even the most ardent fans / users.
3. The causal game play you have provided fails to retain most players long term; What happens when the better Corporations fail to get satisfactory competition on-going in Planetary Control, and the smaller / less organised Corps get stomped repeatedly?
4. You bet to have an amazing release marketing strategy & campaign to attract new players / overcome the word of mouth destroying the current player base.
5. You utterly over-moderate these forums; MAG survived far longer than it should have based off it's forum banter alone. Please take note of the (somewhat relaxed ) moderation applied there. The ability to embed GIF and Memes is also desperately needed.

Promote someone else and get in a game, than its fixed for you. Or just reset. Why would you sit there for 50 mins? |

It's about proving point and raising an issue. What happens to the players that aren't in a large Corp like me? Sure I could have had a US based Corp mate take me to a US based server and played some games, in fact I've done that for the past year... But this is about a dying player base, the reason(s) as to why it's dying, and to bring to light the current frustrations of those still trying to play this game. |

I have similar issues but canceling search and starting it back up fixes it. |

I'm pretty sure its a bug rather than literally no games available, I've spoken to other aussies when i've had that bug and they were all in games on our servers, when i logged in an alt I could play as well.
I think, though i haven't reproduced it, that being in a battle when downtime hits has something to do with it. |

I have the same problems in Canada. I reset, gave it a break, reset, and tried to log on... I've gone 2 days without being able to log in, or unable to connect to a game. There's something totally broken. It's gotten to the point that I might log in once a week. And that's if I decide to put in the effort and 20 minutes to get into a game.
Currently I'm just waiting for May 6. There's no point in saying anything about this present build, CCP is busy working on uprising. Ergo, There's no point in playing the current build either. |

I live in NZ, and never had the game cause this kind of problem for more than 15 minutes.
1. Quit back to MQ and try again.
2. Try another mode.
3. Quit game and try again.
That's all it takes - ever - to fix for me.
It's a lot more stable than some games I could name that are not only past official release, but have also have multiple patches trying to fix them. |

It happened to me when I played "to the last seconds before dt". Switching characters always fix this for me(and yes I did try everything ). |

Hey BAM, I have no idea how long you have been involved with DUST Beta but there are some very specific reasons the players base appears low currently.
May 6th is coming.
An entirely new Skill Tree is coming along with it. That will require much learning and rehashing. Not everyone thinks this will be a positive thing. Oddly enough, I am mostly positive about it.
Very few Maps with some minor variations are in use today. Boring, boring, boring and that is on the one I like. Manus Peak, Ashland, Skim Junction and Line Harvest for those wondering what they are.
Soon (tm aka bs) is getting old as well. It was old before the Open Beta.
The Human Endurance Event started getting many to play five matches a day, but once they found out that the total number mattered more well, forget that. And the rewards are basically not worth the effort. The Return On Investment is just not there. Weapons you cannot use, Suits that you are not skilled into (which will change in two weeks anyway) and the previous special rewards have been less than special at best. 10 suits?
Add to that your situation in the lack of support for non-US servers and migrating to somewhere to get a game moving. From the US isn't better, by the way. We get the same thing only when we get migrated the entire team lags so bad any map is unplayable. I have had many squads just decide as a group to leave the battle. Can hit anything, cannot defend and can barely move. No reason to stay that is for certain.
Lag switch Players are getting really annoying. Since CCP/Shanghai is unable to solve simple problems like tracking Kills in an FPS how could they be expected to solve this one?
They have done the Ninja Nerf to too many items and too many times. Heavy Suits that are medium currently, Forge Guns with no HW Sharpshooter gains, Rail Guns limited to 599m and the list is never ending. Play after shutdown and get unpleasantly surprised when you best setup no longer is worth running. All this with no explanation, warning or information from CCP/Shanghai because that is how they roll. Rolling over the player base is what they do.
Have a nice day.
