I think we all are here passionate fanboys (and some girls maybe) of the game. If not, we would not be here.
But I can't agree that not complaining is the way here. If we all would be quiet about disconnection issues, SDS would do nothing about that.And of course I have also another hobbies, but in case of my gaming hobby, this is the real first world problem
There have been many constructive posts about server connection issues, unhandled server exception messages, RTTS problems etc.
I'll speak to the server issues only.
When an unhandled server exception message is displayed to a user at a console, an error log is created by the host. I'd bet SDS has logs in the upper hundreds of thousands. These reports are what they use for troubleshooting, not people posting ZOMG gimme free stuff, dis suxor etc.
Receiving bug reports from users also helps. Often they can parse data, match up the screenshots etc that you give them, and it will expedite researching the problem.
The problem is that SDS has been dead quiet for the most part. Things have gotten better, but I certainly don’t consider compensation free stuff. I’ve lost 2TA showdowns, XP, and the 1st inning showdown due to various errors and glitches. Saying we should get something for that massive inconvenience isn’t asking for free stuff

What people need to do is troll less, whine less, and find else to do instead of complain about something you can't control.
Okay, so if you spend 100$ on something you can't use, you will just find something else to do and you aren't gonna whine? I don't believe you, you are only lucky one right now not being affected with these crappy disconnections. Good for you, really. But if you were in my skin, you would also whine a lot
I'm too old to complain about things outside of my control.
These are a total inconvenience, but in the grand scheme of things, these are first world problems. Champagne problems. Whatever your reference choice is.
I get the generational thing. It's cool to come to a message board and rally the troops around the complaint bus. Makes people feel better. That's fine. To each their own.
I choose not to cry about it, but rather, try to understand the circumstance. If that gets me a SDS Fanboi title, whatever. I generally spend more than 99% of the game population on this game. I have the same, if not more of a right to complain publicly. I'm choosing not to.
How dare you act like an adult!?

Next time you go to a restaurant and they give you chicken when you ordered steak, don’t say anything and just be ok with it. That is out of your control, right?
I was waiting for somebody to hit me with the chicken and steak analogy.
It doesn't apply here because it's not as simple as you would think.
You are going to a restaurant. You read the menu. You want chicken. Waiter takes your order. Unhandled Server Exception (a.k.a. we don't have it right now).
What most of the people that are using the chicken and steak analogy are doing is really ordering chicken, waiter is returning with Chicken Florentine. He leaves it at your table and you start whining because you wanted dinosaur chicken nuggets.\
I want steak, Guy brings back a steak. No... waaaaaa... I wanted a fajita.
It's all stupid man. Just do something else.

This might be one of the all time dumbest things I’ve seen. I don’t have to specify that I expect a game to work when I buy it on the ps store. I don’t have to check a box whether I want the servers to work. It is ASSUMED it will. It would be like going to a restaurant, ordering chicken, and the chicken comes out raw and they say “oh you didn’t say you wanted it cooked.”
STOP SHILLING FOR THEM.

But I have to say now, that I was able to finish event game right now without any disconnection, first in more than 5 days...
Hopefully they fixed it finally and I could stop whining -

All I want is no servers errors for another 800 hours of gameplay. It was possible in 20, so why not in 21 again and I will be happy. Showdowns can be won again

What does it mean when someone is shilling?
A shill is a hustler or con-person who tries to convince other people to buy something or think something is great (shilling). The shill has ulterior motives for their actions, usually because they are the actual seller or have something to gain if the product sells well.
Didn't you know? All my positive post vibes have gotten me 17 Trouts already.
Coupled that with all the favoritism I get from the designated server port that SDS has given me for exclusive solid gameplay connection, It's all been worth it.
Also, I have a unreleased Curt SCHILLING card.

Okay.....
I really enjoy the blood soaked sock quirk. Kinda looks like the rag from a poster in this thread though, I wish they'd fix the icon.
EDIT Blood-E spelled properly is a curse word apparently. Wish Shilling was...

Some have it worse than others. Idk why some are effected more than others but I personally have had little to no issues
I'm guessing probably something with the strength of some people's internet connection. If you've got terrible internet, and you don't use an LAN cable(used to be me in 14, 15, 16 & 17), then it probably was impossible, but with an LAN and good internet, I had some connection issues, but I would just re-enter DD a few times before it let me back in and then I would have no problem.
I have had hard wired fiber and have had issues consistently. The last few days have been better but I still have had games including a showdown win lost due to it.
A server error is not on someone’s internet. Stop shifting blame fanboy.
Yes but if you have better internet, you will have a better connection to their servers. That's common sense. It doesn't matter if the servers suck or not, better internet will help you connect and maintain connection with their servers.
Congrats on having hard wired fiber! didn't know I could mainline fiber so my bowel movement could be better. I might try it sometime.Ehm, so you are really saying, if some company's server will crash, better internet will save me and I will be able to connect to crashed server?
I don't have IT degree, but this sounds really stupid to meNo, I never said that. But for the most part, the servers weren't completely crashed, people were still able to get in and play, but the majority of people couldn't. With weak servers, strong internet will increase your chances of staying connected as opposed to garbage internet. It's really common sense.
