Getting to the point without a winded story (and all of this is regarding Campaign)…

  • I’ve played The Archive [public] a number of times now. Each time, I have played with four people because one person always disconnects. I played The Renegade with three people so…you know, servers are kinda bleh right now.

  • To add to that, I had a Public match start, and I was the only one in the lobby! Twas hoping to exit to find another lobby…and I wasn’t allowed to!I don’t get the reason for this at all, when both the Closed and Open Betas allowed for this. Suddenly, I’m unable to? Not agreeing with this one…

  • When a disconnect happens, the game doesn’t seem to detect it so that the timer can speed up for the rest of us in the game/server.

  • A proper transition with the Campaign Opening “movie” between the movie and displaying the characters would be better than the instant cut to the characters.

  • Would be awesome if we could vote to retry, stay in the lobby with the same people (but change characters), or for a new level altogether.

  • I hope the game is balancing itself for when players do disconnect. There has been moments now where the game seemed unfair for us three or four players, not saying that we’re…okay, some of us might be newbies BUT the game drills down numerous enemies without hesitation. Like we just lost a player or two. We can’t keep up with the extra hordes thrown at us as if five players are connected.

  • Speaking of dropping in, where’s the drop-in/drop-out play? It’s there, but it seems people would rather just go to a brand-spankin’-new game/server instead of rejoining the game in-progress.

Now I’m potentially one of the rarities of the forum, in which I’m behind the game 100 percent & want to see it succeed. But as it stands, there are some irks here & there that could cause problems in the long run. I wouldn’t want this game to die an early death, especially to the likes of <insert Blizzard’s soon-to-come game here>. So I’m hoping you - Gearbox - are reading our posts & considering changes over the course of the game. It’s fantastic when a server is found, but not when people prematurely dropout.

I’ll keep my thread updated if I come across anything new, hopefully with pics next time.
