So instead of fixing the persistent connection problems, constantly being dropped from games, getting kicked from games because a host quits and almost constantly joining a game only immediately getting told "Your connection to the host has timed out" and getting kicked back to the main menu, the Developers "listen to fans" by playing Xbox and doing a double XP weekend.

How does that work? An increase in experience can't actually hurt you. It's not like player suddenly become more powerful when they realize they can level up twice as fast.

I will be there...there being the double experience weekend, which isn't really a place but a time but I will be there anyway. Maybe this will make up for neglecting the Scout class.

What platform are you on? On my 360 I don't see constant drop outs as you suggest. Happens maybe 1-2 time a night out of hours of playtime. I gotta admit this hasn't been an issue for me personally.

Gee thanks.

How about releasing another patch that fixes some connection issues, or balances the weapons so half of them aren't worthless.

If I sound bitter know it is because I wanted this game to be so good, and it took me a month of putting up with stuff that was fixed in most games in 1998 in order for me to realize what little bit of good game that was in there wasn't worth the trouble of finding it through all the problems.

Tellisk wrote:Yeah. I actually enjoy the MP modes a lot. Countdown to Extinction is incredible fun. But every time I do well (or even if I don't which happens just as often), the host seems to be one of the guys on the other team and never has a problem quitting. I'm with everyone else on here and wish they'd add host migration.

I heard a rumor they were working on a patch that would at least prevent you from losing all your XP when a host drops, but I e-mailed the address on High Moon's website (turned out to be dead) and contacted Activision via their support boards. My only response from Activision was that they had no info on this and to check transformersgame.com for updates (site hasn't been updated since release as far as I can tell).
