heh this guy is a pain for a low level group. have to admit. we went in with 3 players. no real tank (used a lvl 20 assassin), a lvl 23 inq sorc for heals (but not healing tree - so roughly 800 heals every 3 seconds) and a lvl 24 sniper for dps. we got our butts handed to us and eventually bailed for the night. then.. my sorc stayed there and played with the mob for a bit with her pet... then up and killed him solo. no lie. the sorce was lvl 23. with the static field and heals - basic saber attacks and with dots.. it took some time but the boss fell. couldnt use much lightning due to force concerns but the fight was actually pretty simple to be solo'ed by a healer. but damn if it wasnt fun.

i wouldnt worry about that. they will at the very least cover their bases. off hand id guess at everyone that preordered will be in this weekend. with release on tuesday - its all good.

for you "smart people" out there. everyone understands it says "up to 5 days". and legally what you say is correct. However - and this is where it gets interesting - It does not matter if 90% of a companies clients are dumb as dirt. You dont mislead or "fake an offer" and expect good results. Pissing off the paying customers is never a good idea. Backing up. yes they did up the time to 7 days and that is awsome. truely is. and hopefully everything will be worked out and everyone can have some decent early access time. but, upon launch, pissing people off is half way okay in that they want to play and already bought the game. but 2 months in - they better count their pennies if they still piss off the player base. THIS does not mean that they treat them badly. only piss them off. Makes no difference what-so-ever if the players are right or wrong to be mad. it is all perception. business, politics, entertainment. its all perception. If people feel they were misled or misstreated... thats all that matters. I understand this is day 6 right now. the preorder said 5. and up to 5. this post has nothing to do with any of that... BW made a bad move in how they are releasing, as it is confusing (and frustrating) to many people. Once again. it does not matter if BW is right or wrong. Only that people dont like it. also i understand those that back them up. Perhaps you have been with this game for a while and know them better than most of us. maybe you know they treat the players very very well. maybe they are the best at how they deal with and treat players concerns. perception is all that matters. Right now, some people are upset. Best to just let them vent and stop trying to control other peoples feelings.

as i said. hopefully its all nothing but a missunderstanding. Also it was not intended to be any outrage. I am not stomping my feet and name calling or anything of the sort. Just simply voicing my opinion on the situation as i see it. for now ill let you get back to your trolling. *edit fixed one of my many typos*

i gotta say both sides are right. yes they said "up to 5 days." However they did not say "if you dont preorder before August, you will have only 2 days." the point is the 5 days early access was the pre-order selling point. Typically when a company says something like "up to 5 days", it means they will get you in if it is at all possible. this company seems to have a very different idea. that is the point that is irking folks. as far as not being up front with player base and taking them for granted, I direct you to SOE and SWG (older gamers will remember that mess and the end result) this is by no means on the same level and will not have the same result - but its enough to get some of us to raise an eyebrow and wonder. That said, yes I will wait for my time to get in and play when i can. Hopefully it is nothing more than a missunderstanding and all will be well in the future.
