I need a club, my psn id is my gaf name.
Ah why the hell not. EU? PSN: Vodh
It hasn't even been one week... And these things don't fix themselves. First they had to recognize what is causing the problem, then they have to fix it, which doesn't happen automagically with a press of a button. They are trying to do a long term fix and that won't happen in a day or two. Shit sometimes happens and it's not like people can't play the game at all. The single player still works perfectly fine and should offer most people plenty to do before they can hop online.
Some people just aren't as impatient and judgmental as you.

Almost two weeks! Where did you park your Delorean? Were you beta testing the XB1?
US. I'll invite you anyway since the game seems to have no region restrictions for online play.
The sound. I've never been a bumper cam guy....but the sound in this view is visceral. You can be aware of every car around you without ever using the rear view mirror. All I have is a little 7 dollar pair of headphones. Can't imagine how this sounds with a decent set.
The servers are down and Evo are working to fix them. You're not going to magically hop on one day and it's fixed...whoa...magic. They're gradually coming back.

And some people maybe don't have money to burn like you on an unfinished game and not feel disspointed.
Shit shouldn't just happen.
Damn. Looks like "Cloudy with a chance of connectivity" may actually end up being the OT title!

as a website guy i have had my hair on fire with unexpected bugs relating to unexpected load and so started off probably more patient than most but as this drags on I am moving to the "this is unprofessional" camp.
Shit happens and i understand that but if the issues are not tricky bugs but actually entire rethinks, and the duration of this would suggest that, then they should explain what they are doing. In more detail.
To have some buyers of the game get some service and others get none is arbitrary and divisive. We paid the same but we are not all in the same boat.
My goodwill would be infinitely extended with communication explaining
a) why the fix is week(s) not days
b) why some people get some services regularly and others get none, ever
but it sounds like the studio have gone into turtle mode and that means we become free to think bad things about their competence and get angry about being sold half a product at full price.

Should be some spots left. I'll let impact know, to the other guys welcome to the club! Might be playing a little Evil Within this week, but I'll definitely be playing drivelclub for a while, especially when the servers are completely fixed.
Edit: beaten
Also you all are welcome to add me on psn.

Any UK gaffers need a club. Space for 4.
Needed to leave my old one as my wee man wanted in.

So is the online better now, worse, or the same? I haven't been playing much because I've been hoping to experience DC the way it was meant to be played. And that means waiting for the online components to stabilize.
edit: Wow and the guy above me pretty much answered my question already. Damn, its still pretty limited huh? I want those challenges, dammit!

So, I STILL can't play online. You know what, FUCK THIS. I'm never buying an Evolution Studios game day one again. What an amateurish fuck up this whole mess is.
And yeah I loved the game. But I can't fathom this.
And yeah I loved the game. But I can't fathom this.
So, following your advice, I've brought the Spyker on various time trial races to learn how to drift.
I've maxed out the Spkyker owner accolade, but even then, I still can't drift for shit. :'(
Good thing is that wrecking the Spyker on various circuits unlocked the Zonda at our club level.
Drive together, win together, they said!

That's promising to hear, hopefully will spread over here ASAP. Luckily the game is insanely good in solo mode, making people feel extra warm and appreciative towards Evo....online bust much longer though and that's going to change!

Woah bro, just think of it as a long term investment. The game is a lot of fun to play single player, sure its a big fuck up on their part but hopefully they will do it right for the community and at least give us some awesome cars.

How about not adding extra features until you can get the basics working? It's really starting to look pathetic. Hell, what's even more pathetic is the fact that Evo can't get the servers fixed even though they're a first party developer.

I didn't think my pre-ordered T300RS had a chance of arriving before the server issues were fixed, but that's looking like a distinct possibility at this point.

And multiplayer stopped working for me. At least I got some races in. And I just got the club invite too lol.
I didn't expect to be a week out with no information on when the PS+ Edition would be available, particularly when the $50-60 USD versions still aren't working properly. Again, I take issue with the answer of "we want to stabilize the retail version before releasing the PS+ version" in part because they continue to add more server load by continuing to sell the game through PSN. This is like continuing to sell movie tickets to a sold-out show.
The game simply wasn't finished if the underlying network code, the whole impetus of the title, can't function with a fraction of the community connected.

Don't thank me mate. I'm still waiting for the PS+ version to drop so only know as I keep having to look for the information myself. I have no Facebook so I can't really follow them there and that seems to be the only source of official updates.

The leaderboards ARE the basics lol. They've always been there but just recently started working. The social stuff in game is probably more complicated to get working and thus why it isn't working yet. But Evo def hasn't added anything extra.
