    There is a welcome window when you log in to the game.. why doesn't it just say it there?

    Also as was mentioned just check the server status. these threads are useless.

    I see the warnings each time, but they are kind of small. 2 things will change though:

    The servers shouldn't be restarting so often once the kinks are worked out

    Chatbox is improving with the upcoming patch

    might also be a larger warning coming that they haven't announced, the notes are still a rough draft.
    Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
    Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
    Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
    Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.

    Just do what I do, every 20 min just pull up the full chat window and check for warnings. Its not terribly hard to do no matter how.much you think you shiuldnt have to. I know its a pain, but its better then bieng in the salvage matrix when they disconnect you and lose a cool weapon.

    The thing here is that most ppl that plY these games do, pay attention to the chat windows, I know its small right now with only 2 lines, but you can pull up the full now and then

    I have never missed a warning yet, and I've had this game since it was released. The chat system sucks, yes, but with a little problem solving and can-do attitude, you'll be able to overcome the fact that everything is not being handed to you on a silver platter. The game is still so new.
    Also, if a server coming down without you being warned is a problem worth complaining about at length, it may be time to re-evaluate how difficult you really have it.

    IF this game was f2p then your comments make some sense. But it's not. I paid $60 for this, and you're telling me that I should NOT expect them to hand things to me on a silver platter?

    It's a car engine reference. When a car is running on less than all of its cylinders, its performance will not be 100%... That being said, you could use that reference to picture the game's current situation. The game still needs to have some work done, and once all the bugs are worked out, the game will function as intended... I was hoping it would not be so difficult to understand what I wrote. By the way... My name has nothing to do with drugs. It is a play on my gamer tag, Toast Missile, and no... That has nothing to do with drugs, either. I hope this clarifies things a little more for you.
