Reminds me of "The MAD TV show" corner "Lowered Expectations"

It can still take a while for players to connect when starting a game, and people still do leave-- it's far from perfect.  But your question was whether or not it is enjoyable, and it definitely is.  Most games I play in people stay, and if I find myself having trouble connect, I just try a different server, and it usually works just fine.  Sometimes you just can't connect to certain players, and i'm sure they are working on fixing that as we speak!

Custom games are playable because most of the people where it didn't work gave up.

It really only works if you know how to forward ports on your router.

AND there are still crashes, random disconnects etc.

Playable but not what you would expect from a solid game 1+ month into release.

i feel i should come back on my original post.

the overly long answer -

i was a beta player and also affected by the connection problems at launch.

as of beta 3 i've had a great time playing this game, and i'm of the temperment where i can forgive 'little' things knowing who SD are and that the game will be supported for some time to come.

so, that said, this weeks been the first time where've actually been able to get back to enjoying what i did at the begining of the year and so i'm v.happy.

yes, it's only really custom games that are playable. though i seem to be having more luck than others here as mine have all been 3v3 with about a 60% completion rate (that is everyone making it to the end of the game, if that sounds low then look up ragequit)

and yes, there's a patch due today (latest on that is a "should be" from Kryo) so that may fix a load of things but potentially break things too, so wait and see on that.

point being that you should definately come back and give it another bash if you've already paid for the game, things have become a lot better then at launch, if not quite yet reaching the full potential of the game.

Sorry to say that, but No, the game isn't enjoyable at all !

They released a more bugged patch with v1.01.

Don't buy it now, wait 3 more months I think, the time needed for this game to... die or be finally fixed !

So yeah, I'll be playing something else. Thanks for saving me the time to find out.

Until they lower the connecting times to 0 and more then 4 people can play, I won't be touching this game again.

Patently untrue. I have experienced no real problems with the new patch. No one is dropping out at all during games. The only limitation is that the lobby doesn't always list properly.

If you like the gameplay you should be playing. I'm really enjoying myself.

It's only you, see the forum, see the chat, a lot more ppl are complaining about the new patch again....

DoubleDigit, my recommendation is to wait, the game isn't fixed now and is far from it. I was nearly a fanboy before 1.01. Since the last release, i'm srsly thinking about refund and forget this game and have fun on another game which isn't bugged as hell.

I'm really frustated and angry with this game.

patch 1.01 increased connectivity for me, and yes the game is definitely enjoyable.

doubledigit you really should give DG a second chance...
