I'm usually an Open-only kind of player, but 2 of my friends bought the game today so we wanted to do a little 'flight school' thing in private group until they felt they were ready for the 'real world'.
Another friend of mine (Bountyhunting wingman, long-time player) makes a group, my 3 friends meet up on server 54.155.140.120 and see eachother no problem.
~Half an hour later I join in, join his group, go to the same location and hang out at our usual spot relative to the letterbox to meet up... no visual contact. We attempt a text chat (as we use TS for voice comms)... Communication fails.
I go back to main menu, IP is 54.74.123.75. Fine, I try a restart (this happened before since Beta 1.)... 4 restarts, same server... 5th restart, new server.. still comms error.
TWELVE restarts later (Including launcher restarts) and I get the above IP at least 9 times. None of the other servers connect either.
A group of 4 pilots, all friends with every other pilot and yet I'm being locked out. Your match making needs tweaking, badly.
edit: Geographical location could be considered by ED, so I traced the IPs, they're both irish. I live in the Netherlands, the three others in Sweden. It should be a non-issue.
