true but maybe the devs should have made other modes more enjoyable rather than limit the relatively better modes

If you are worried about it killing the other modes then that is a sure sign said modes need a complete revision.

Nobody is denying it.

I played over 25 matches today, not a single scramble or sortie.

So why play at all?

With the broken multiplayer, and the grind, MP will be dead by the end of the month.

well i kinda agree, but on the other side always doing bosses is pretty focus intensive, and sometimes people dont mind some more relaxing stuff.
Plus if you consider them being always aviable (and their possible reward nerf, after doing it like 2-3 times) it wouldnt be worth timewise playing and replaying them.

Furthermore game is still in its first month from release day, so they prob are kinda adapting to new user data provided, and/or following their release schedule. On the 13th I've read there will be maintenance, hopefully new content could be released, including more coop missions.

Closing my opinion, it's pretty weird they released AC Online as a side thing of AC8, instead of releasing it as its own game, especially if you consider those f2p hook-up mechanics, like limited rewards/gashapon. It reminds me a lot of GBO2, mostly the bloated lobby (made just to sell cosmetics let's be real), also the point system for aircrafts. GBO2 did a thing better tho, you could paint your own craft without spending anything.
Live service games can be a plague remember, but I have faith ACE/NB won't try to squeeze every cent out of their user, but I may be very wrong.

Also this, out of 10 matches I start, 2-3 get the ST-1/2 error, and it's another 2-3 minutes of time you waste.

Make it more like 4-6 with ST error, and on 2 a CPU joins where the match auto fails but still counts down the 60 seconds.

I am going to say it, MP is unfixable, there is no content, and on the technical side, its below the bare minimum.

Maybe I'm wearing the cope goggles, and I like playing coop missions with other people, but I feel like Online could be a well estabilished game. Probably if it had more time to cook, and got a separate release, we could've been playing a better title.

All we can do is wait

So I am already at the end, BP done, got the last airplanes.

Problem is, PvE sucks, its always the same, winning or losing, does not matter, if all players would not blow up a single thing, same results.

in PvP, because of P2P network, everyone is playing their own game, stuff just blows up randomly, and depending on your ping players will turn on the spot. Also there is massiv cheating going on because its P2P and the game FULLY trusts the client.

Scramble/Sortie should be on a timer and not random. Also just look at the old games, the only content that gets added is DLC airplanes, nothing more.

The game lives of its name and fanbase, I personaly would argue, 7 is a better game, since it embraces it crazy story more, and the mission varitiy is so much greater.

8 feels like they did the bare minimum in every aspect, but hey, at least they but streamers in real fighter jets.

i mustve done like 30+ games and never got a single emergency sortie. got like 5 scrambles though (gamemode sucks ass tbh)
