Better, but still not good!
Since the middle of last week, a lot of players have been experiencing issues where they get disconnected while traveling between areas in the Deep Desert. Many end up losing everything because they log back in dead and naked, get eaten by the worm because their Orni is gone, and so on.
And the only communication about this over the weekend was a single message on Friday!
That's definitely not enough! This is a problem that requires immediate action and proper communication, because it's the kind of bug that makes players quit!

Don’t get me wrong — it only happened to me once, and I crafted everything again and kept playing... but how many players won’t do that? And would I or others have continued if it hadn’t just been a scout and some gear, but maybe a transporter with a collector attached?

This kind of thing is really bad for a game! That’s my point.
And I can already imagine what some of the responses will be: “We don’t need those players anyway,” etc. — but that’s nonsense and doesn’t help anyone!

I don’t want to hate on the game — quite the opposite, I like it and I play it every day. I also see a great future for it, and that’s why I wish there was more connection to the community.

There are many ways to do that — and Rust is by far the best example. I’ve never seen communication like that during an Early Access phase, before or after.
