I just tried for 10 minutes to start a game, to no avail.

I don't understand the new matching system, I suspect.  I click "Good Match" and nothing happens; no one joins.  (I am not sure where I can put the settings for this.)  I try "Quick Match," and I am instantly put in a room with someone, but nothing happens.  I click "Ready," and they don't, or (in one instance) the other player was UNABLE to click "Ready," it was grayed out.

What gives?  I've been playing on there for a couple of months now, but I guess maybe I just don't understand the proper means of getting the matching to work now.  Is there a tutorial for the matching feature somewhere?

Edit: I've now had a second player tell me that they cannot click "ready."

What exactly are you doing?

You should just click on Quick Match and wait. There are no tables or anything involved, the game directly starts as soon as you get an opponent.

EDIT: Or not. Either they changed it on purpose and the feature isn't ready yet, or they changed something by accident because it was working the way I described earlier this morning.

I click "Quick Match," and I instantly get whisked to a screen that is new (today compared to yesterday and all previous days).  There is an opponent in there, and I click "Ready," but they either do nothing or report that their "Ready" button is not working.

I think that the servers are down right. I am unable to quickmatch or bot match

Edit: Spammed the ready button for 20 seconds and was able to play a game

A really terrible workaround if one is very desperate to play right now: click "Ready" a whole bunch of times until you get assigned the tokyo server. The game will then load. This is easiest to do with a bot, but if you can chat with your quick match opponent and convince them to sit tight for a little while it should also work there. No guarantees from me, sometimes I had to click many many times before it loaded.

So let me get this straight. They have a load-balancer, but it doesn't remove non-functioning servers from the pool?!

Currently; it's virtually impossible to start a game

It seems only the Tokyo server is online.  As others have mentioned, repeated clicking of the Ready button will get you on eventually.

There's nothing I love more than paying for a subscription and not being able to access the content!
