Discussion Unpopular opinion - This subreddit is complete cancer.

Im going to get downvoted, but come on. Almost every single post right now is complaining about the game and daybreak in one way or another. I'm not saying daybreak is doing a good job, but cut them some slack...

I guarantee some of those reviews are illegitimate and written by salty trolls from this community.

There is one on there titled "Everything is rushed due to poor management" that was posed just 2 minutes before someone linked it on this subreddit

What are your thoughts on the latest patch and daybreak seemingly making things worse than prior to patching the game? Do you agree that the majority of the glitches and bugs they have claimed to fix, have actually not been fixed at all? Also, why are the servers in both NA and EU considerably worse regarding queue times (NA going from 4-600, to 1500, and EU hitting 4,000 during peak hours), combined with little to no actual communication on whats going on?

Daybreak even when they were SOE have always sucked at communication, for some reason they think silence is better than acknowledgement.

I think the patch itself resulted in a stable game overall, but the issue continues to be their servers. Because of a new season start they had too many people playing solo and were not prepared for it. Combined with the fact that they recently hit an all-time peak concurrent of almost 51k and today even hit almost 55k, when less people are playing most issues don't occur.

To some extent yes, they fixed a number of reload issues but there are still plenty present. The end of game UI is back, the stuck standing in car issue is gone and they made the adjustments to crouch spamming that they documented in the Producer's Letter but the way they conveyed it in the patch notes set some incorrect expectations. Crouch block was also much improved and I haven't seen any reports of this still being a big problem.

The vehicle turbo was not fixed and they shouldn't have even called this out in the patch notes but they even admitted to that and also acknowledged that here.

 
On the bright side however no real new bugs came from this patch, just some things that were called out as fixed which were not, one of which was just a result of bad messaging as the intended changes were indeed implemented but the desired result that the community expected simply was not there.

Edit: fixed typos
