They have been on vacation and if asqhy is to be belived, most of the fatshark staff will be back next week.

In my eyes a bit strange. You launch the game beginning of December right before the holiday season where most player CCU will be achieved because many ppl have holidays. Than you decide sending of all the staff into holiday. So âno community supportâ until 9 of January. Also feels for me as another âwe are FS, we dont careâ

erm I hope not 
In other games (especially online) before holidays launch BIG PATCH contains huge content or events to grind (just because developers need time to rest, and players get business).
Gacha games do it better, honestly.
If you release a live service right before Christmas, have a Christmas event ready to keep people engaged and attract some extra audience.
But obviously this wasnât the case, the game was barely finished (in fact the MS store didnât get the release version on release day, which makes me think the release version was finished like the day before release), no time to do anything for Christmas.
And since they were probably crunching to have the game out before the holidays, you canât expect them to put out something instead of going on vacation, the workers have probably earned it anyway, regardless of the state of the game.

I was thinking this too they where probably all really in need of a break just trying to get the game out

As said, best would be release end Q1 and really take the results of Beta serious. But nah, better take those holliday sales because you know the overall game is in a bad state and you will likely earn more no matter if the people realy like the game or not. The real fans you can get back with big patches in each quarter.

The devs probably earned it. Everyone in management didnât. They probably shouldnât be in the positions theyâre in, frankly.
On another note, is it just me, or are the servers getting progressively worse? Yesterday and today even on Heresy the lag is insane if anything at all is going on. Not just missed inputs, but enemies and even my own character teleporting instead of moving during intense moments, lights turning to heavies, animations breaking and stuff just⌠being⌠crap.

Wouldnât surprise me if little to no maintenance has been done.
They havenât touched the game since the week before christmas. So yeah. Pretty much.
Itâs common for Swedes to have vacation over Christmas. I know I did.
Iâd say itâs common in most of Europe, but itâs also common to leave some people in charge of live services, the game feels like itâs been on auto pilot since christmas eve.

Well aware. It seems to be an extremely common practice to release games broken, right before people head off on vacation. Another prime example on how little the community matter to Fatshark.

Common for certain jobs perhaps, but personally speaking I donât know anyone who is still on vacation for Christmas/New Year. Most workers have been back since the day after Boxing Day.

Christmas + new year, they were just in a vacation
They did not fix the game crashing constantly in a month, so maybe. They also lied about finishing the crafting system.

The datamine confirms that they launched this game without season 1 active, which I canât remember any live service game doing. Hearing the excuse for delays on our âfirst major content updateâ being that it kept crashing gives me little faith theyâll get to the bottom of that or the memory leak anytime soon. Theyâre probably still having major stability issues with a lot of content.

Gameâs dead until further notice considering we canât even get a response from the CMs that isnât just closing a thread for âbaitâ xD
