This is not how it works, it migth as well be the server issue, but your reasoning is plain “betatrash” style, it is pretty much " cause we think it is server issue, it gotta be server issue". Even g4 came around and tried to explain how it works in general, did you read any of that? You complain about connection issues since forever, TS/ Corp Chat/ Forums w/e, but have you ever, once tried to “properly” troubleshoot and find-out, even for yourself, where exactly the issue is?
It is the attitude of “QQ first, than QQ some more, and maybe then after qq for little more try to figure something out”, and this is not about connection issue, it is about life motto of many people around here.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I have tested my connection on numerous occasions. Almost every time I complain about a connection issue, I do it because my tests came back with nothing to support that it was a client-side issue. If my connection is suffering due to a client-side issue, you won’t hear about it from me on the forum. No one will hear about it from me at all.
Wanna know why I QQ on the forum? Because it is the only way for a non-Russian player to be noticed by the devs and to be heard out. I wouldn’t QQ so much on the forum if I knew that the devs would listen and respond.
I have never denied issues, I am not afraid to admit I am wrong, but for that the opponent gotta bring numbers, stats and constructive behaviour to the table, I do that and get called troll or something for disagreeing, w/e.
I am against generalization and over-hyping stuff, “everything is xxxx, the sky is falling” is what I am against, there are issues and there are good sides and that goes for everything.
Bring a critical issue, back it up with data, i
ll be the 1-st to contact Devs to fix it, back in July-august when Devs were on vacation and servers to start crapping out, I managed to get a hold of couple guys mid vacation to reset them that temporarily fixed the issue. Not the 1st time not the last.
I am against complaining for the sake of complaining, “so what do we do when nobody can fix this?” - you put your shades on, get a cigar and deal with it like man.
I have never in this thread screamed anything along the lines of “the sky is falling” scenario. I haven’t yet said this game will die out, or anything like that. I am simply saying that we need more people to voice their opinions about this, because it has gone on too long. The devs need to wake up and realize that they have an obligation to do at least something about the dwindling player base. But yet, there has been no advertisement, no outreach, and no resources dedicated to fixing this major issue, the issue that is the root of pretty much all problems associated with connections.
THAT, is the point I have been trying to make for over a year now. I have been putting on the shades, getting a cigar, and dealing with it like a man for 2 and a half years now. Enough is enough. It has gone on long enough. Any amount of time for players to be forced to compromise is too much, but 2 1/2 years is beyond ridiculous for NOTHING to have been done about this issue. I mean, after 2.5 years of compromising, I have learned how to play my favorite roles effectively on high-ping, packet loss-filled servers.Does that mean I enjoy it or that it is acceptable? Absolutely not. I would hope that the least we could agree on is that it is completely unacceptable for the devs to have gone this long without doing ANYTHING about the tremendous issue that is the dwindling player base.
