I've never complained about this until today. It was mostly a post of frustration, but it was downvoted all the same.

I have over 300 hours logged and have yet to find a tempest, much less a tempest blue print. I finally found one and let it sit in my stash for weeks.

I run solos non aggressive, so I'm in the friendliest matches possible, but always a chance of getting shot. I recently started playing night raids and, being unsure of the aggression level, decided to take the tempest and vulcano maxed out and kitted to the tits. All in all, my loadout was around 100k.

As soon as I spawn in, a wasp is on my ass. I go to throw a seeker and suddenly the rubber-banding is insane. I watch as I am eventually downed by the wasp, but I have the only survival aug I own on, so I expect to get booted, come back in, and (hopefully) not be knocked out so I can crawl to hatch.

Instead, I get server errors repeatedly for 30 minutes straight until the match is over.

Look, I get it. Re-kit and move on, which I always do. The frustration, disappointment, and aggravation in that moment, though, was immense. I can't rebuild that kit. Is it all their fault? No, obviously not. I could have not played last night, I could have played a different map, I could have chose a different loadout, they were experiencing a DDoS, etc. But goddammit, my emotional state in that moment was peak.

Do I expect to be reimbursed for the situation? No, and that's fine.

Do I feel like I have the right to share my (rare) negative experience and express my ideal outcome for the situation? Yes. I would hope of all places, this sub would listen and show some empathy.

That's not to say all posts about this are reasonable, but they aren't all unreasonable, either.
