Very smart. Iâve been using PMs on here and forming groups for various activities for months. The Forum is great for communication
Why does there seem to be one or two people in forums who seem to get some sort of satisfaction in replying to posts in a condescending fashion. It just ruins what could be constructive conversation and exchange of ideas.

Ty Andrew.
I guess all our whining and being babies got somewhere.
Chat issues were not going to be addressed, no server migration to assist with this. But now itâs being examined. The âJust suck it upâ attitudes donât accomplish crap. If you donât speak up it gets
ignored. If you donât like my comments or think Iâm not constructive enough then skip them.
Again @Andrew ty for looking into this. Fingers crossed that the resulting bug fix does the trick!

Thatâs mighty presumptuous of you.
Potentially for esoteric or fringe use cases, but âI start game, I go to Chatâ is perhaps the most basic use case for that feature that could possibly exist. The dev team would have been just as well served with PMs saying, âHey yo, Chatâs down, mind taking a look?â

Exchange of ideas?! Is that what youâd call this thread? pfft, you people.

Hey @Mekkalyn. How are you doing today? I hope you are well. 
I just want to slow things down a bit and give things a chance to chill a little.
My original response to your comment was about the over-exaggerations you were making, not your main point (on which you and I are in agreement). Using exaggeration to complain about other people exaggerating just isnât the most effective way to make your point; thatâs all I was trying to say. But itâs cool; weâre cool. I hope youâre having a great day.

Iâll be honest, I had to check to see if it was this.
You wouldnât be wrong
I was not referring just to this particular thread, it happens in others as well. Your reply to my post is exactly what I was talking about.
Chat down for me.
This is so off-topic.
Chat not working againâŠ
Looks like it wasnât enough 
Take your time to fix it though «3
Guess what we did that. Huh? And, nothing. Read Andrewâs reply again.
Read how long issues have been occururing.
Youâre fond of going through threads and policing so you know connection and chat issues are NOT new or weeks old. This has been addressed in game reviews on other sites.
This is not the only place on the internet talking about GOW. There have been complaints on many sites and it is impacting the game we enjoy and wish to see continue a long long time.
Realize the problems may be effecting the overloaded gaming market place a little more than you think.

Right. Since itâs not possible to compare a universe wherein polite reminders happened versus forum tantrum-throwing, itâs equally impossible to be so certain that your squeaky wheel was what got the grease.
But youâre free to believe what you wish, just as others are free to poke fun at mountains out of molehills.

The chat went down again Andrew, this problem has been a lot more recent lately but, it does however go down way to much, Itâs convenient to have chat and is very disappointing when it goesâ down this much. I understand that it can be swamped and crash a little but this is a major issue now. I think you can go ahead and plan to switch servers/providers now. Having no chat is ok from some hour or two on very scattered days or even maybe weeks but, the chat is going down about everyday or other day or two now. Iâm also requesting you add mailbox pm messaging and friend mailing list to chat or whatever. Where you can send private or not so crowded talk environment. Please get the chat fixed.
Let us all hold hands.
First it is not my intent to tick people off.
Letâs look at the facts and how they effect a players perception and sustainability.
You take a game to a convention and itâs fun, exciting, and exhausting. You create a hype, expectations, and an appetite for your product. Thatâs your shot at hooking a customer in an a crowded market.
The player gets home and this is were you really fail or succeed. Server timed out not good. Canât connect to chat. Getting worse. Platform discrepancy ouch.
Weâre fixing this doesnât cut much slack to player that looking at a promise of a products functionality.
Maybe they stay, best. Maybe uninstall, bad. Or maybe they put the game on the backburner, same as uninstall for all real purposes. Why because thereâs this OTHER nice new shiny game that delivers what it promises.
Thatâs not the end. You are not selling to one player. Youâre dealing with a connected community. Many people and places sharing and talking about their experiences. If you donât fix the problems now before tackling whatâs to come with each new addition youâll have less time to handle them. Youâre in a state of constant catch up.
I hope this helps to shed some light on why a error can have a big impact on marketing.

I am wondering something about the chat not working. What is causing the chat to not work, and yet has not effect on gameplay of saving data? Or is it that the errors people are seeing are one and the same with the chat not working in a way that is related to server callout?
