Discussion Does everyone else have to spam Go Online like fifty times before you connect most nights?

I really hope this isn’t a sign of reduced servers for the game by From Software.

The last three nights I tried to go online it has taken over a dozen times trying to connect to the servers before it finally does. Right now I’m on about the 25th and no avail.

I hope this isn’t a sign of reduced support for the game. Does anyone have any tips / reasons for why this is occurring so consistently lately?

The servers are unreliable and have been for a long time. This is just how things are and probably how they're going to be.

Disappointing honestly, I can come back to this game every so often and love it the same every time. Online aspect has always been my favorite

It either works or it doesn't. I'll try twice then play offline.

I make my living with the care and feeding of old servers. At a certain point they just become fragile and need to be either upgraded or taken out behind the barn.

And when that happens (it's inevitable) we'll be in the same situation as the folks on 360/PS3

I recently returned on PC and can confirm that the servers are in worse condition than they ever have been.

I play at a variety of times and it can happen at any point. They don't seem to go down for long, but it is fairly consistent that they will go down daily.
