Matchmaking waiting times.

Hi does anyone else have a similar issue, I have waited 30 mins before now and still no match. I must assume there are more people playing than just myself.

This game drains battery life so I don't want to be hanging around getting 1 / 2 games per hour.

If I'd of known it was like this I wouldn't of reverted from PTCGO.

    There's a bug that breaks matchmaking if they don't do maintenance for more than 5 days. Since they recently did do maintenance that's mostly fixed, but now so many people are either fed up or have no incentive to play after finishing the battle pass that almost nobody is playing. This will probably remain a problem until the next major update.

    This is mainly today that I'm having the issue since the maintenance. Before the maintenance I was waiting maybe 5 mins between games.

    Oh so the matchmaking bug is back again? I thought so. What's this, the 3rd or the 4th time? You'd think they would check the changelog before reverting sections of the code. The preexisting issues aren't just going to hotfix themselves.

    @Duaner_83 It was never fixed. It goes away temporarily after maintenance, implying that rebooting the servers fixes it temporarily for 2-3 days. It's not the result of reverting code.

    This seems to be that after I've had 2/3 games, then I struggle to get any more games at all, for the full day. When it's a new day, there seems to be game after game until I hut that 2/3 then I really struggle.

    Hopefully they would add more countries to the beta to add more players
