We actually have support for a reconnect timeout period and had it turned on during alpha and some of beta. Unfortunately this ruined most matches because backfilling the disconnected person ASAP is the only thing that will save the match for the team that lost a player.

Harassing a player is not the way to handle this. This thread is locked.

I'm not sure if I understand the original question. At the moment you can create a team for the PvE missions and up to a four person team for the PvP missions.

The content patch will have new AvA maps and game type, New more open PvE type area, 10v10 Q, more open shops.

I wish people would keep this to one thread
1. Subscriptions are optional
2. It's not $15 a month
3. Please don't confuse content/open world with server/internet cost structure. It's actually significantly higher costs to provide servers for smaller matches with FPS requirements (fast ping, non-tab targeting, etc)
4. There are 50 maps in the game currently (PvP, PvE, AvA) not including tutorial
5. All the bots are not the same, higher level PvE missions have more bot types
6. Yes, there are more cleanups to do (and fixes are coming), but the core gameplay runs well
7. There is more content coming
8. The features of the game have been explained many times to reduce any misconceptions and misunderstandings.

jebusgent, you expressed your negative opinions six months before the game was released.
If you purchased the game then why? You already knew what the game was about. If you didn't then why are you posting?
Seems like pure trolling, and trolling gets deleted for having no value add.

I wont go into details but:
1. You don't have to pay a monthly fee
2. Tribes was a good game, but there are many significant differences between the games
I'll just lock this thread instead of deleting it given how passionate the OP is.

If going to answer your post and lock the thread soon.
The video you made is incorrect on many points, in fact you seem to be lacking some of the most fundamental understanding of AvA (like how you win a zone as an example)
You stated: The point of AvA is to capture bases
The reality: The point of AvA is to win the zone by getting rare resources to build a particle forge. Bases are only there to help defend territory which requires missile bases to counter them.
You stated: A zone map is 20-40 hexes
The reality: A zone map is 200-400 hexes, there are no 'tiny' zones
You stated: We promised 60v60 fights
The reality: We promised 10v10 fights that have an effect on each other (for a max of 60v60 in base raids. We have already explained that is being significantly expended so many more hexes will effect each other)
You stated: There is nothing new in AvA
The reality: AvA has a whole economy cycle with mining/production/auctions. There are new vehicles, weapons, and maps specifically designed for it. There are special notifications for attacks, there are drop ships with requirements, etc...
You stated: It's not much of an MMO and not much of an FPS
The reality: You heading saids 'unbiased', seems biased (at least I admit that I'm biased)
You stated: most reviewers don't know what they are talking about (with regard to Global Agenda) since they are just WoW gamers
The reality: most reviewers seem to understand the game significantly better then you do
In addition you claimed that you cancelled your preorder, how in the world are you doing a review of AvA in that case?
There have been other reviews questioning AVA which is fine, but at least have accurate information when doing a review.

If you have strong feelings about AvA, go win a zone and I'll take your commentary as more then just a complaint.

See, I had to delete another post.
When people make stupid remarks with no basis (like our marketing spending as an example). FYI, unlike most published games over 95% of our spending went to the game development and probably about 1% for marketing so far.

At this point I'm deleting threads that are not value add to us (or the community that is interested in the game). Trolls, flame wars, and dissatisfied 'reviews' don't help in any way.
We have provided enough information about what the game has to offer (and what it does not try to offer). There are plenty of external reviews as well if someone wants to know about the game.
Incremental suggestions for improvements are always welcome.
It's impossible to please all of the people all of the time. Forums tend to misrepresent the bulk of the community since they are usually more about people interested in forum wars then playing the game. There are some nuggets of good information and well thought out remarks, but unfortunately they tend to be rare.
