Ea Servers...

Yup. I honestly feel just a tiny bit sorry for the EA moderators who must feel like they have a gun to there head as they turn to all of us (the mutinous, dissatisfied customers/users) with the same tired BS line that it’s all the fault of our ISP or home network. Because they have to know that’s just not a credible response when such an overwhelming number of people are complaining and countless others just walk away. I mean think about it, the only reason they are going to such lengths to promote Champions (lowering the bar to entry and then incentivizing games played) is that it MUST be dying. I mean, if it were getting decent traffic they wouldn’t even bother with all this promotion—they’d leave it be and save themselves the headache of congesting their servers.

No, this all smells like EA struggling to keep a critical mass of users engaged in order to provide folks with regular H2H matches. They seem to be worried about UT hitting a death spiral with the irony of course being that they wouldn’t have a problem with users staying engaged if they just FIXED the lag issue so that the game was actually fun/fair to play, lol! 

AntagonistChaos​ WELL SAID!! This is what I’ve been saying!! This in itself PROVES the servers are not fit for purpose and are causing input delay and horrific gameplay!!! 

Yeah it’s the one for the completion beridan had a bunch of posts in there or they were at least merged. But yeah there were thousands of reports for it so it’s good to see ea look into it and give compensation. 

It’s why I always encourage people to report it. 

It is a deeply frustrating practice to ask a player base to believe that the servers can fail repeatedly under load — such as during promos or pushes for engagement in Champs (e.g. entry lowered to 1 win, free weekly qualification points, and desirable rewards tied to playing all 15 games) — and yet simultaneously want them to believe those same servers are otherwise stable. 

When thousands of users are visibly booted with messages like “You are unable to connect to EA’s servers” or “EA servers are experiencing high traffic,” EA has to acknowledge the issue — as we’ve seen with compensation promises this year. But the subtler, more fragmented problems — like delay, desync, animation glitches, or heavy gameplay — that don't present as clearly or consistently, do not get acknowledged or are solely blamed on the user end.

It stretches credibility to suggest that server infrastructure fragile enough to collapse under peak load could never also cause smaller, harder-to-measure degradations in performance during regular play. These may not trigger disconnections, but they do damage the quality and fairness of gameplay, and are arguably even more frustrating due to their intermittent nature and lack of acknowledgement.

But, like you say, it won't change so all players have is the control to change their own actions and simply stop purchasing the game.

They'll never admit anything, that's their policy. As soon as the objective came out, everyone knew that it was going to be a **bleep** show. The thing is, the servers were **bleep** poor, but were they worse than normal? No. Players just don't report this **bleep** anymore. EA ignore it, so why bother?

Just ignore him. He's like this all the time.

All I can see on these forums is them responding specifically to the fact that people were unable to get the pack from the 15 Champs played objective because hundreds (probably thousands, if we consider how many are complaining in here and social media generally) of people had the servers crash/boot them out on completion.

This then didn't count as a game played on the objective, but did count as a game played within the Champs tab, so it locked them out of getting the 15 games played. It happened to some people so many times it meant they missed out on realistic chances of getting that TotS card tied to 10 wins (Nico Williams?) or other win x games rewards.

There has not been any admission for more general server issues. In that thread about Champs they have said they'll give compensation, which they've also echoed on Twitter. There seems to be nothing on the EASFC Tracker about the server issues either. So, what they have committed to publicly is not resolving or investigating server issues, but sending players the reward packs they should have got.

That's it from what I can see. Any other interpretation either comes from another thread that I'm not finding with the search function, though I will look again when I'm on PC, or a misunderstanding of the specific incident that is being discussed.

what ? they doing nothing where they said they gonna fix it ? are you a ki Bot ?

It’s nice to see they merged all the threads and are giving out compensation for the servers. Good job for anyone who reported it. 

It's been like this for a long time. They don't understand, don't know what to do, or it's part of the narrative EA employees most follow - IE there are no server issues, we don't want to scare the shareholders.
