Origin sucks a lot more than usual...

Phew, finally! Saved by docsteely. Was already beginning to wonder, whether the forum follows the footsteps of Origin, as described in the subject.

The Doc to the rescue, took a few days.

Can't join any friend on Origin or only specific?

Wtf cant join pug games now, in early January there was no problem

Yep, mine went offline too, and keeps helpfully saying Please go online.. and doesn't.
POS SNAFU

Dunno if you should get a medal for predicting it correctly or a kick in the butt for jinxing it, Doc

Anyway..

Back on topic. So from what I've seen, there was supposed to be a bigass update to lolorigin. Removing VoIP features and introducing chat rooms, or whatever they meant. It was like 2-3 weeks ago. Origin did a few updates since that time and guess what!

Now I can't type in my native language coz the letters change to ??? every damn time I try to type something.

That's mind boggling how Origin was much better at launch than it is right now.

Guess the only answer now is schweet #retirement

Back again.

POS

Up and running again. For now.

Yep, but at least we all got back in the lobby and out! That was close.  outage.report.origin shows over 1150 reports, and growing

...and again, Origin. Rot on dongs.

Like someone pointed out in the Outage Reports site (I watched it go from 20 reports to 1200 in 15ish minutes), "EA has the net worth of about 30 billion dollars.. and they can't get their internet servers working. Really?"

Which makes it even more pathetic when all their titles now seem to require an always on connection.

Morons.

Even xbox one ME3 MP is down. WTF
