Wow, if players are writing these questions, they need a lightsaber shoved up their arse.....sideways. Go read a damn newbie FAQ!!

They're not getting any questions they will answer now lol. No question answered for past 10 mins.

None of us have any ingame issues to ask at the momemt, because none of us can actually get ingame!

"Yes" would have been quicker and not taken him 10 minutes to type

First question is "I saw that during beta people where 2 maning flashpoints are all flashpoints 2 manable with companions". Funny thing is, the abiltiy to submit questions hasnt been open yet and i was one of first in lol!

It's started lol

Stagger this Bioware!!!.....RIP Best buy!!!

You're exactly right. The number one thing that pisses off consumers is lack of communication. They are being WAY to political about answering any questions with regard to entry time. They are trying so hard to cover their asses by giving out absolutely no relevant information at all. We're not stupid, they could tell us their basic strategy for their waves etc (numbers, estimates) and we could at least guesstimate our entry date, but they won't even say how many are going in on each wave, how many have gone in today, how many have preordered in total, all for the sake covering their asses. Basically at the moment it's like being in a huge server queue, except instead of it saying 9665th position in queue, it's say "We don't know" in the queue, and that queue could last 6 more days. I know I would rather the 9665 queue any day.

So, what happens next week, when the servers down on 19th and come back up on the 20th. Are they going to take another 7+ days to ramp up populations again, and everytime the servers go down for updates etc? Either the servers can handle it, or they can't. It seems like they arent confident in their servers at all.

Spanish have like 30 guilds coming to the server. The english speaking PvP Initiative have like 160+ guilds with 4.5k+ players. There's no way spanish will outnumber anything on the server, let alone general chat.

What makes you think they won't have to stagger the game when the servers come back online on the 20th (theyre taking down servers in the 19th). Will the servers miraculously be good enough to hold the influx of players logging back in?

/thread

That server status page might have different level caps for low/medium/high/fullwhen it says "Full" on that page, it might not even be medium in reality.

Basically, by your logic, if someone tells you they're going to punch to in the face, then they punch you in the face, you should not complain, because they warned you they were going to punch you in the face!

Wish this was an exploit, but it isn't. It's just a totally unbalanced game mechanic. People leveling this way aren't exploiting, they're just join warzones, it's not their fault it ends early.

I'm not going to argue with your anecdote, but your initial assumption that everyone is guaranteed to play on the 20th is false. Servers will go down on the 19th. All preorder customers and standard customers will be wanting to get in on the 20th. Will they stagger them again over 7 days to reach full capacity, or will the servers crash? Nothing is guaranteed. None of us are guaranteed to get any days Early Access. They might say we are, but things happen at launch.

You haven't learned much in business if you think that they opened the servers 2 days early for the players sake. Nothing is business is free or a gift. Even if it seems like it is, it's not.

How can it improve the overall gameplay for you, if you're not even playing? lol

I'd say that I would prefer a queue of 9956 then an effective queue of "We don't know". Which is the answer we get if we ask when we can login now!

I think why alot of people are complaining, is the fact they are basically missing the launch day. EGA was a good marketing ploy (which may have been needed I don't know), but it has convinced alot of players that it's a good thing that they're missing launch day. If they have to ramp up the games population over 7+ days to full population, then how will expansions etc work, the same way? Either the servers can cope, or they can't.

There is no such thing as a "gift" in business. See my previous post.

The game has indeed launched today. People are playing the retail client they have bought. Terms like "Early Game Access" etc are all nice etc, but when you look beyond them they're just marketing and public relations terms. "Oh wow, they're such an awesome company for letting us play early". I'm not dissing Bioware or anything, but don't be so naive!

You might be right, but we will never know. Also you're under the impression that the server issues and queues will not happen because of this wonderful EGA. They have already said they expect queues towards the end of EGA. So people singing praises for the launch atm, during the first day when things are really controlled are doing so prematurely. When more and more people are invited over the next few days, we will see how the servers cope.

I'm not complaining about the line, i'm not complaining about anything. I'm merely stating fact. There are people here who have not even played yet, and they are singing Biowares praises about the game launch. They are only basing their opinions on other people's opinions, which makes them worthless. The game has launched today, some people are playing on wonderful servers, with no lag, no huge playerbase etc. The experience has been awesome for them. Alot of other people, haven't even been invited to the launch yet. So for those people I reckon the launch has been pretty bad so far (i'm assuming as a player you want to actually play the game at launch). Alot don't mind the wait, afterall they signed up for the game knowing this would happen, but then again we don't have to like it, as we weren't given the choice, it was either accept this ramping up preorder period, or don't play. Only after the 20th will we be able to look back and say whether this launch has been good or not.

Hmm, you sound like the spoiled brat yourself. The launch is good for the people who playing, but how can people who are NOT playing agree that the launch has been awesome, when we haven't experienced it yet? You're not even ingame yet to experience the launch and you're shouting it's praises. I personally don't take the opinion of anyone who has not experience what they are preaching about. I'm not ingame yet either. The game has launched today, has it been good? Purely on my experience of the launch, which has been zero, it has been a bad launch so far, since I haven't gotten to play. At any game launch I expect to play, regardless of EGA etc, so forgive me if I reserve my judgement until the launch period is over, then I will have a true sense if the launch has been a success!
