Ah. Come on... Seriously.

I'm not generally a guy to complain on the forums about things that are out of my control, and I should be used to bad server given I've played many EA backed up games. But I have hope in this one that isn't.

I live in NYC, I have a provider which is close to a FIOS internet speed connection etc, I pay for it monthly. I'm still getting disconnected.

I wouldn't have a problem with this so much if I could just re-log ... But seriously? "Critical, the servers are down", "Error, you must restart your ps3 to play"

I noticed for a brief week about two patched ago this was fixed, what happened? Now all of a sudden it's back?

I just downloaded 1.020, I'm trying to do an arkfall and.... Oh, raiders can fly.

Seriously? It's been a few weeks, stop trying to work on every issue and isolate one, get it fixed then move on. Not sure if this is a problem across the platforms and Pc, but it's getting to the point where I don't even want to attempt to play this, and I honestly love this game.

Internet speed is not really as important as it used to be (since nearly everyone is on broadband now a days), you could have the fastest internet out there but horrible latency (ping) which would break most games.

What you describe with raiders flying is lag or just disconnect which could be many things, most likely not a defiance issue but an issue somewhere between point a and point b (your PS3 and the servers) having network problems.
