People need to stop endlessly complaining and understand that companies (specifically companies with online services) will have technical problems and bugs that are unforeseen and pop up unexpectedly (and as *any* programmer knows, bugs are like cockroaches - you fix a bug and 3 more will take its place). They are also real people on the other end, not robots, and are trying their hardest to get these issues resolved as fast as possible as they come up so that we users can further enjoy this game.
By all means, though, folks - Keep posting about bugs and problems that creep up in gameplay or suggestions that may improve the game for everyone. This post is more directed at folks who claim "This game is dead!" or "Ubisoft sucks!" or other such posts.
Also, people need to understand (and fail to, no matter how many people explain it and how many times it is explained) that before a product is released, not everything can be tested - no matter how many people they have testing things. They will test as many scenarios as possible in the hopes of having as few bugs after the go-live date as they can. Remember that they are a company and, as such, companies have deadlines. They have quotas to meet. And, I'm sure, they did not have as much time as they had wished prior to the locked launch date of the game to get everything sorted out, so they did as much as they could. Also, since the release of the game, any time there was an issue (loss of service/downtime, loss of rewards) they have come back with 3-day or 7-day Champion status or giving players scavenger crates because they were not rewarded properly (and people *still* managed to whine about not getting their initial boxes when that was the whole point of the global event in the first place)
Thank you, Ubisoft, and the programmers behind the scenes. Thank you for the hard work you do and for being open to suggestions and questions from the community. I know there are many vocal people out there who complain about it, but I can promise there are many more of the silent majority that are excited about what is to come.
Keep up the terrific work!

Imagine if this game had dedicated servers from the start? player base would be a lot larger because of the network quality(main reason so many people have left the game) and they would also make all the costs of dedicated servers back from steel. but sadly as usual ubi took the lazy way out and went with horrible p2p in 2017.

After 1.06 there is a improvement with connection for me 100%, but you still see a lot of disconnects a game from other players. Time and time again somebody leaves, which causes the game your in to disconnect and then it's back to square one.
I understand that they are continuing to work on this, and I hope they have another patch in the near future to address connection some more.
Personally I can only play dominion, brawl or duel when I am searching by myself.
I search for Elimination or skirmish and I end up sitting in the matchmaking screen for 5 minutes before an error pops up, on rare occasions do I find a game. But when a I'm in a friends party and he searches it's fine.
This is on Xbox one.
All that said, this game has been a lot of fun when it works, and I am super excited for the future.
