I have ceased playing the game and initiated a refund request through my credit card provider. The game no longer aligns with its advertised features. My primary motivation for acquiring it was to engage with bots and casually unlock weaponry. The inability to pre-configure a server, coupled with the current lack of unlock progression even when a server is accessible, has significantly diminished my experience. As a 46-year-old, I typically have only one to three hours per week for leisure and relaxation. The previous system, which allowed for bot play with experience point accumulation, was ideal given my limited internet connectivity at my rural residence. This feature has since been removed, despite still being promoted on your website. Consequently, I am now considering alternative games such as Borderlands or the new Ghost of yotie.
If your pissed off too.. call your credit card company and request a refund for a faulty / not as advertised product. Mine offers up to 30 days no question returns / disputes. Maybe it will wake up ea games and dice.
