Just disconnects in general. Right now I don’t think we need to get that granular.
If it was an issue of to or from a user’s home network than we wouldn’t have this many responses from different players in (I’m assuming) different systems/nodes/etc but every little bit helps!
What is the deal with FC making so little effort to communicate via and/or respond to issues on this forum? Have they stated a preference for Reddit and Discord? Seems absolutely bizarre that the official forum is a second-class cousin :-/
I don’t recall FC ever officially stating that they prefer Reddit or Discord over the forums.
That being said, FC has addressed harassment and personal attacks against developers on these forums in the past. I wouldn’t be surprised if that plays a part in why some developers don’t engage as much.
There’s also a difference between not responding and not reading. FC has stated before that they do read feedback and pass it along, even if they don’t actively participate in every discussion.
Personally, I can understand why developers might be reluctant to engage when some discussions turn into personal attacks rather than constructive criticism.
Does that mean FC couldn’t communicate better here? Of course not.
As someone who participates on discord and interacts with the devs, i don’t see much if any personal attacks against them on discord.
Harassment and personal attacks are totally unacceptable, but I don’t see why that would push them towards a platform they don’t control (like Reddit) and away from one on which they have total control (like the forum)…
(I strongly dislike Discord and use it as little as possible but I expect that they would have pretty much total control over the Discord server too, assuming that it’s their own.)
I’ve been looking into my disconnects and found something interesting.
It’s always related to the login system.
Whenever I get disconnected from the game, I try opening the home site for EvE and everything works fine, except for the login. It simply times out and I can’t login with any account.
When the login server comes back, I’m able to login in the site and in the game. It usually takes a couple minutes for this to happen, sometimes a bit longer.
P.S.: Also, when I’m getting disconnected, I often keep chatting in the in-game channels normally, even though I’m already DCed. Then the game catches up and the connection is lost. So whatever it is, the in-game chat channels are unaffected by it.
