A week after the game was released the server issues were mostly resolved. You could find a game in a reasonable amount of time, you wouldn't get disconnected from a match until you've already finished it (as if that makes sense but that's the only way I can describe it)

People keep saying that it's a buggy mess and act like it's unplayable in it's current state but won't specify what bugs they have encountered. I've only run into 1 or 2 bugs. I have seen some complex ones that require you to do specific things into order to leave the map. It seems like people are just mad about the game being always online and are looking for other things to hate on. The always online does suck but they are working to remove that. However the Patch has taken over a month to come out and that does suck but at least they've been open about why. They realized that if they released it then it would have deleted everyone's data

I often see people complaining about how there isn't a lot of content in the game even though they've been working on the game for 10 years, even though development only really started about 4 years ago and they've also been updating PAYDAY 2 while developing PAYDAY 3. PAYDAY 2 was also pretty slim on launch, with 1/5 of the levels being the same bank and 2 were the same Jewelry store and the first update wasn't out for almost a month

People need to be patient and not attack developers who are trying to fix the game for them. Remember Cyberpunk, Fallout 76, ESO, and Halo MCC? All had the same issues and now they're super popular games
