The whole zoo/vegetable family of connection issues

Soooo, when's it going to stop? Any clues? A secure server installation in Arizona? How's that working for ya? Answer: horribly, pathetic, worse than p2p ever was. The difference, lag looks really good in 60FPS. That's really it.

I want to stress the fact that I'm not a network engineer but .... if I had a new product that I was going to put on a new system the beta would have been open to all and a heckuva lot longer than the short time we had with Destiny. Even with 8 players on the
same server they had MASSIVE problems in the MLG tournies. Was that not a clue. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to not do another beta after you're under the illusion that you had the problems worked out since then? Were they worked out? lol, um, no.
Was anyone seriously surprised? I'd certainly hope not. Your work in the past has more than shown that you do things on a 1/2 baked measure at best.

I also want to stress this fact; you folks at Xbox work for US, the customers, and you need to keep that in mind when you're in an interaction with one of us. I've had better customer service at a fast food joint. When we ask questions, we want answers and
no, you have no need whatsoever to pull up our accounts in order to speak to us. That's my account, I paid for it and you have no right to it whatsoever UNLESS I give you permission to do so. You will not tell me that you need my account info to speak to someone
because that's a blatant lie. The only action required when I ask to speak to someone is for them to answer the phone.

My new love!

my usual lunch consists of salads or fresh vegetables with just a tiny bit of ranch dressing....I tried "light" ranch dressing, but it's repellant and I'd rather lick a toilet seat....anyway, ranch aside you can eat vegetables all day

 

Open world games

Zoo tycoon looks fun. More of a family/casual game that uses kinect, but fun for the kids.

 

Not a big fan of reading user agreements are we?

 

Actually, I've read it top to bottom. That doesn't mean that there aren't ways that could have been used, by anyone who has the ability to think coherently for more than 1.2 seconds after seeing all the issues originally in the beta and MLG tournies, to
prevent this kind of mess from happening. This game is a great game but with an absolutely disastrous release. It should have been delayed. Folks are forgiving for delaying something to perfect it. Releasing something knowing it's flawed, and badly so, shows
a "who gives a *** about the customers" attitude.

 

I was talking more about Microsoft pulling up your account prior to speaking to you, you know, the way the phone company, cable company, bank, etc. does before they will talk to you because you entered into an agreement with them before purchasing/using
their services. I do agree that destiny could have used some more beta, that being said, I still enjoy the heck out of it.
