Its because the Majority of the "Seniors" , dont play Online , and hence does not really feel Jack^%^it about the state of the Online Game.
Same for the Beta Testers , they did a sterling job by the sounds of it for the Offline Version , but were not allowed an adequate Opportunity to Playtest the Online version .
It also doesnt help that most of the Online guys giving feedback , are using the "Game is Broken please fix asap" line , for anything they pick up , hence not helping their cause.
Its a fear that I had when I heard who the testers were , as I know they dont play online , and it seems my fears were well founded .
Now I`m still stuck with no Discs in South Africa , or can buy the Digital version and become part of the "but why did you buy the game if you knew it was broken" sheep.
Fact is , there were only glowing reports for the game , hence everyone in their enthuism rushed out and bought the game , and now the 3rd time in a row , the Online Section feels neglected.
WHY ?
Because none of the reviewers , can/want to test the Online side of the game , and hence each time its unknown water that we Online Folks have to enter to see how it translates this time vs the Offline Reviewed State.
