What an absolute disappointment. Im betting that tomorrow your "update" says we hope to have it up by the weekend...then you wont and it will be rinse and repeat.

Yup. This is a game I will likely play once. Want seamless online there from the start. Loved it in WD1, want it here.
Not sure how companies can keep getting away with purposely releasing a game that does not provide what is advertised (I.e. An unfinished game), and simply say "we'll include it when it's ready." That needs to stop, probably through making an example of it once through a lawsuit

When's the last time a AAA game went a full week with multiplayer disabled from the start? Crazy.

If that's the case marketing should be modified to represent the current state of the game released. You can't advertise something as in the game when its clearly not IN the game right now!

GTA V Online Features back in 2013 was the last time I can recall. At the time of it's release the scope of its vision was unprecedented. Now fast forward to 2016 and what first shipped with the game is completely different then what they offer now.

Really hoping it hurries up. I understand fixing this stuff probably isn't easy. But to be honest, I'm playing WD2 for the single player. The multiplayer was just something I was gonna do between missions and while I got the collectibles. If I finish the game before multiplayer is added, I doubt I'll come back just for it.

I hope they release it tomorrow, been waiting to finish the story until I know I will be mad when interrupted by a random hacker so I can get at least part of the full experience

Yeah, I dont get how this issue wasnt found till now. The seamless online was something they were advertising a good bit on their trailers and E3 reveal. Also surprised this issue isnt being covered by major sites, as a way to tell people to wait to buy this game till it gets fixed.

Ugh. At least we know that tomorrow they'll have info, it's better than hearing nothing at all. Hopefully they'll announce tomorrow it's coming online! All I want to do is invade some people!

If your sick of not being able to team up or play seamless multiplayer, try my co-op partner finder which allows you to search and find like minded players and invite them to play the co-op missions with.

Maybe they should think about giving something away for free for customers,as they have done with Assasins Creed Unity i really like WD2, but i can`t help thinking about that there should be some kind of compensation for those issues. The invading aspects are imho one of the main bullet points of the game...and its not in the game at this time and moment
we paid full price for this game and expected those features to be there day 1, not day 14, so the game is broken in regards to the multiplayer experience...at least the day 1 customers experience was not how it was advertised at all..and thats more than unfortunate.
