[Bioware is forcing me out of the game]

I literally just posted the same thing.

[All my friends left me. :(]

The queue was just too long for them; I got in last Tuesday and rolled on Anchorhead, at the time, unknowing that this server would be the king of all queues (Waited a hour and a half last night, almost 2). Now some of my friends who got in Friday have turned on the Republic to join the nasty Empire on another server due to the queue and I'm stuck alone with my Gunslinger whom I love dearly and have invested 60 hours into.

 

Oh, woe is me. This is my kind way of expressing my new found hatred (I don't really mind waiting) over the queues dividing the player base.

[Only 3 advanced classes can CC?]

I'm biased as I'm a Gunslinger (And I do have CC, slice droid) but shouldn't the pure DPS classes be the only ones with CC? After all, we should be absolutely NEEDED for something.

[more action for gunslingers? and an interesting female companion?]

I agree with OP for the most part; His ideas add a much needed flair to the class, imho. I'll admit while they are vague, they did apply a sniper formula to the Gunslinger which to me, hardly makes any sense. I spend most of my time in groups sitting down in one spot for the entirety of the fight letting my 5-6 skill rotation fly. If there was a run and gun class to be had in TOR, shouldn't it be Gunslinger?

 

My biggest complain is in boss fights where I literally don't make a movement for 5-10 minutes. With that said, I do love the class, story, and the character himself but ultimately for gameplay purposes I probably will roll a shadow as my alt.

[Anyone still have a link to that preorder chart?]

Showing how much preorders were in each month or at least percentage wise?

[take the ******** off the front page]

Up to 5 isn't going to happen though, that's the point. That being on the front page is misleading as hell to people who preorder now. They should update it to "Up to 2 days"

[When will next wave of emails start?]

9am est

[50 minutes to go?]

Yep because they managed to get a dozen people in yesterday they are having a nice lay in today. I hear if they get another dozen in today they might take the rest of the week off. /endsarcasm

 

Rofl yeah..

Maybe they'll use some of this widespread community panic and put it towards something useful like inviting a **** ton of people.

[Was this staggered launch all for nothing? Roll on dec 20th.]

Guess the main thing I don't understand is they let 750K players in during beta over a 3 day span. Right now their letting 900K in over a 6 day span. Their servers are clearly capable and I had no issues in beta, after collecting the data from such beta than the servers could of only improved. It's not a matter of too many people in X zone because it's instanced.

 

I'm confused.

[50 minutes to go?]

Ah yeah, I guess they didn't get the ball rolling till about 9EST actually..just opened at 7EST. Blah, oh well, by some miracle I do hope they reach Sept. but if they don't I suppose tomorrow morning I'll be in.

[50 minutes to go?]

Same time as yesterday right? For the next wave?

 

I don't know why I wake myself up at 6AM when I preordered Sept. 20th but nonetheless I am hopeful.

[3rd Wave Sent, Only 1 more left today :(]

I do indeed want to rage. Throughout the day is not 4 ending around 1 likely (if timing keeps up).

[Frustrated, my server is already damn full after wave 2]

I agree - What the F is the point of all this if the current servers (Where we'll have friends already playing) are at full and we go from staring at an email to a queue? Based off the reactions on the message boards, just OPEN the damn game up or make a commitment to at least allow every one to hit play. There's only 200K more pre-orders than there were testers and I'm sure every single one of them rather deal with server crashes than this.

[2nd wave give your preorder dates!!]

September 20th, who knows when?

[This is the epitome of evil.]

Hundreds of thousands of gamers.

Waves sent a hour and a half apart, just enough to tease.

Waiting, refreshing, for a completely unknown period of time.

No sleep knowing that as soon as you close your eyes, you may get that invite.

[This was bound for chaos.]

The only difference now between this and a "normal" MMO release is people are complaining about not getting their invites VS. disconnecting rapidly. Personally, I would of just preferred the latter. I'll admit to this being a form of slow torture in which I'll be sitting around doing nothing, sleeping, and refreshing for what could be potentially the next 4 days (Pre-order September).

 

With this said, I just read on SWTOR Dominator website (Dunno how credible it is) that the total number of preorders a week-ish ago was 965,000ish, not much more than beta participation in which mostly every one was in by the 2nd day. Considering the sheer amount of servers and the experience from the beta weekend, I feel as though it'd be a accurate estimate (with that number in mind) that Bioware isn't just replacing disconnects with staggering invites and perhaps we'll ALL get in today.

 

But who knows? This is all a guessing game right now.
