Aescseco Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The reason you preorder an mmo is to be there on launch day. Call this early access as much as you want, but if it looks like a duck... its probably a duck. Anyone who has ever played an mmo on launch day knows that no matter how bad the servers are and even if you're only able to play for an hour, its still a memorable occasion. Bioware has turned the memory of this launch into what we see now. So in 2, 3, 4 or 5 years from now people will talk about launch and remember being stuck on the forums while having every complaint they voiced effectively silenced by the mods of this community. People will remember that they were punished for not preordering on day one. And people will remember finally logging into the game while others are ahead of them and on pvp servers camping them. The servers are dead. And on launch day Bioware is home sleeping while their mods run around on a power trip. This is the disconnect. Admit this is a failure and start letting people in the game. If the servers overload fix the problems as they come up. This is not how you launch an mmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberate Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 pvp cheaters exploiting warzones, rendering many servers ruined is another great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qaytlyn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Even though this is early access, sure as hell going much smoother than EQ2 did back in 2004. Or Vanguard or STO, or Warhammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadore Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well said - but the sad fact is, they already have our money and really don't give a flying f__k... My fear is that this debacle has sent a negative ripple out to potential customers that did not pick up the game yet, and after hearing some of these type stories some may not bother... To me it is just a bad business decision, but I'll still play the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurfsauce Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Didn't know PvP exploits were out of the norm... They are technically, but I digress. I was referring to his statement that even if a person was capable of logging on for only one hour, it was a memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinoplat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes this launch was ruined. My suggestion to fix it: Allow all pre-orders to get into the game tomorrow and roll back the servers from today. Fix all problems in one swoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesal Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I don't care about the who what when where or why, I just want to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnak Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Your views reflect what most people on these forum think. Unfortunately, some might be left with a bitter taste in their mouth. Personally i feel locked out of release day simply because i wasn't following SWTOR development and wasn't aware the game even existed until October 2011. So i am second class, just like in beta, a weekender, not a real tester, a second class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-NovalGaraint- Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Agreed 110%........... Everything you said OP.........

marshalleck Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Even though this is early access, sure as hell going much smoother than EQ2 did back in 2004. Or Vanguard or STO, or Warhammer. I don't think comparing your game to a bunch of failboats is really the proper standard one should be striving for. They should be asking themselves how they compare to notably smooth MMO launches, like Rift or LOTRO Edited December 14, 2011 by marshalleck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankido Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 If there was a leveling exploit the servers would be shut down. Do you really believe there's nobody around to stop them? Oh wait, they're allowing it for faster leveling. This gives more stability to the economy and progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
