When we play on Tuesday evenings DDB usually works fine except for the occasional timeout when accessing a character. However, Thursday evenings are a disaster.
The game log shows someone made a roll but the result doesn't show up. So, I had the players call out their rolls. Character access was slow. Looking up spells or magic items was slow. It wasn't just me, none of this was working properly for my players either.
In the past DDB has been great for running a campaign but lately it's unreliable. Half our games are like we we're playing with paper and physical dice. No fun when the group is spread out across the country.
So could someone who works for DDB explain to me why I should renew my master tier subscription?
I played around with the game log tonight while the site was having issues. Same problem as yesterday with the game log not updating. Reloading the page does show the latest dice results, but that's kind of pain.
Something you may consider is checking to see if installing Beyond20 will help. Especially if you guys have Discord. Beyond20 will fetch the data and shove it to VTTs - including Discord.

DDB needs more capacity to handle peak hours.
Do you guys play remotely, I assume?

Yes, we play remotely and use Discord. Thanks for suggesting Beyond20. I'll give it a try.
