P2P and player-owned dedicated servers need to come back. This "everything runs on the cloud" stuff is so bad on so many levels.

It also means players get rugpulled whenever the suits decide the game is no longer worth maintaining.
They had three days of load testing and the infrastructure still failed on launch.
Sounds like the devs knew it wouldn't work but management insisted on launching anyways.
I mean this is pretty much par for the course for any online game launch. Hey, at least some people will stop buying early access so eagerly.
"endure" 🫡
Remember remember Payday 3 in September
Earth, wind and fire?
Haha, no but that tickles me
Guy Fawkes (the guy the V for Vendetta mask represents) tried to blow up UK parliament in the 1600s. The Brits have a nursery rhyme for it:
“Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot; for there is a reason why gunpowder and treason should ne'er be forgot.”
I was just being silly by implying that living thru Payday 3 server issues are on the same level and get their own version of the rhyme
You had me doubting my memory for a moment there. I used to know the movie version by heart, but it's been a hot minute. 😄
Maybe it's time for a rewatch
Yeah Day 1 was completely unplayable for our 4 man group. Like we don't need matchmaking we're in a party just roll a server up and go.
Seems fine now since last night, had no issues getting games going.
I envy you - was able to play a few matches shortly after release with friends, and havent been able to find a match since.
Solo, with friends, public - doesnt matter, just sits and searches for upwards of 30 minutes before i opt for something else.
I went to work but apparently some of my friends are still struggling to get into games so it's not fixed yet, we just have caught a downtime period I guess.
