Resolving the issues related to connectivity is unfortunately not something that can be done in one patch. Resolving connectivity issues is an ongoing process and we are continuing to resolve these issues and implement fixes as they become available. Getting these fixes to the players is are first priority and this most recent patch is a step in that direction.
I suppose I'd feel more confident in that response had these issues not been here since Alpha and persisted until present day. I'm aware networking issues are not simple, but it's not like this is a new issue with launch.
Logged on for the first time in weeks to see if the connections have improved. 1st game, I get dc'd. Second game went fine. Third game my friend gets DC'd.
This is inexcusable. I want to play this game, but it literally is so frustrating to try... I barely log in anymore.

You've been spouting a lot of anger across every thread. Perhaps you should take a break from the game and come back when you've gotten over it or simply move on. Sounds like that time.
I only got to complete a few games in brawl, 3/5 went ok, the other two i got disconnected. It is a rarity to even complete a 4v4 match in the game, it disconnects every time. I'm at least relieved to hear your making the connection issues your priority. I ask you, to continue to do so before you release any more content.
Just so you know... the teams that work on netcode and those that work on MTX "Store" items have absolutely nothing to do with each other. People tout this argument all the time that if a company hadn't worked on X then Y would be better. That's just ignorant and wrong. That isn't how a game company works... there are different departments. Your argument is null and void, and I say that despite the fact that I also am livid about the connectivity and find it inexcusable. If you're going to be mad, at least be mad AND correct, otherwise you're just part of the problem.Originally Posted by Tillo. Go to original post

Honestly I have no connection problems at all so I am one of the lucky ones.Originally Posted by UbiJurassic Go to original post
But even I get annoyed by such statements. You (Ubisoft not you personally) did internal testing, a tech test, 2x Closed Alpha, Closed Beta AND Open Beta. It's not like it is a new problem. It's not like there was no time to fix this issue. And it wouldn't even exist had Ubisoft gone for dedicated servers. It is the main reason to do test for in an online game. A game that REQUIRES online connection for everything I should say.
Putting out an Open Beta 2 days before release clearly states this was just a demo. What we got was a game with balance issues that were already apparent in Alpha and Beta, with the same connection problem since Alpha. The only difference is that in Alpha/Beta players didn't have to put up with Revenge Gear and Prestige 12 vs New characters. So there is a lot more rage quitting now, which results in more DC's. But even on this there seems to be no plan. Just punish ragequitters.
Or seriously just ask for help. It's amazing how a 60-100 dollar game can't afford Dedicated Servers, yet a Free2Play game like Paragon can and thrives. Not to mention they are still in Beta and already have more content and Balance than this game.
