SA servers are pretty much empty, you usually only play with the same people, most matches don’t completely fill until the mission is almost over so it’s 90% of the match with 1 or 2 bots and damnation missions are pratically impossible to find.
I’ve been using a free VPN to queue but having to deal with the VPN lag due to being in a full network on top of the slight ms increase of playing on NA servers is awful and really demotivating and I am struggling to justify paying for a VPN just to play this game.
And yes, I know some people really hate playing with people from other regions so maybe add a “only from my region” check to appease them.
