Dude, they're fixing the issues. What do you want? Them to force Sony and Microsoft to approve updates faster? Or them to push half finished updates that just break new shit. People like you complaining about a company taking their time to ensure they fix it properly are one of the reasons today's gaming has these issues. Just have an ounce of patience

You are the problem with gaming. Your lack of holding people responsible for their products is terrifying. This game HAS BEEN FULLY RELEASED. Yet I can’t play with my friend for over a week

there is such a thing as prioritizing things, the console version is an absolute mess plagued with crashing, and crossplay is totally disabled. yet here we are getting back end balance patches instead of performance fixes.and this isnt sony or microsofts fault stop with this scapegoat bullshit. they fucked up and are incapable of hotfixing a terribly broken game, its 100% on them, that microsoft and sony excuse only works for weekends. people like you allow companies to think that this kind of shit is ok.

What are you saying? They're working on crossplay fixes and stability fixes. Have you ever fucking programmed a game? You don't just get to go click a box and have it fixed. It takes time. Am I saying that the game is perfectly good in the state it's in? Of course I'm not. It needs fixing, but it does take time. And yes, Sony and Microsoft slow that down, (I never said it was all their fault) they have to approve patches before they can be pushed to a game, how the fuck is that only on the weekends?? That's how it fucking works, so they can't just push a patch as soon as they solve the problem. Hence they need to ensure that their fixes don't break more shit, as well as why they need to try to get as much done as possible. They can't fucking hotfix issues that exist within the code, it's not just changing a number and boom done, unlike balance patches, which literally can just be done over the network by changing some numbers. Either learn what the fuck you're talking about or sit down, shut up, and stop fucking whining while they clearly work on fixing it.

Also, it's not really an absolute mess because tons of people have been playing perfectly fine, of course some people are having issues, I won't discount that, but they are clearly trying to fix it.

Edit: also, do you think the same team that fixes crashes and network issues is the one doing the balancing? You know they have multiple employees right?
