Evarg Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 You are just so completely wrong on Cataclysm. It only had 550,000 pre-orders. SW:TOR was over 900,000 before EGA. Back under the bridge with you. Blizzard waited too long to offer digital downloads, most people had pre-ordered at brick and mortar stores that most likely did not bother passing that info on to Blizzard. They sold 3.3 million copies the first day. Most were probably midnight releases, come on, the only worse fanboys than Bioware are Blizzard fanboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikalonius Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I will say this again This is misrepresentation on there behalf Not at any point did they have there provider let the customer know, YOU WILL BE PLAYING AFTER THE PEOPLE WHO PREORDERED BEFORE YOU. Nowere this was stated to me, which is against the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullowit Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 And then Billy shoves Sally out of the way and grabs the ball. That's the proper thing to do..after throwing the stupid legos at mom. How dare you! LEGOs are not to be thrown! LEGOs are holy! If you want to get back at mom, you leave a few of the nice sharp-edged LEGOs in the middle of the bedroom floor. Her feet will find them. Like a d4 caltrop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrAidennwitz Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 They didn't add it in adds. not in product description. You know who does that ? scammers. You know who doesn't read detailed descriptions of services they are buying? Lazy people who don't deserve getting anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thuulkhalat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 as title says. Discrimination much? add in the other problems, lvl issues , especially on pvp servers, economies ruined , players having clear advantages.I could go on and on, there are millions of problems with this staggered launch, its mindblowing that nobody in any of these companies didnt realize the problem this was going to create. You will find alot of people no longer buy things from the companies assiocated with this game, i know that for a fact, because i already have friends who refuse to play anything EA has there name on, which is this, even though its star wars and they like it, they wont play due to EA, now, all i can say is WOW, way to go with this latest debarcle. this is Coming from a very pissed of customer Can I have your stuff? Oh... right. You don't have any yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangmanBones Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This drives me crazy, this is NOT DAY 1!!! Day 1 is the 20th. We are getting free game time. If you want to be the first to 50, find a new server when you get your access (they said they will be adding new servers DAILY) And get to 50 before the rest of the world gets to play on the 20th. I for one am disappointed that I don't get to play yet, but I also know that since my pre-order was later, that I wouldn't be until a couple days in. Disappointed but realistic. the servers are live, the bioware founders call this the games launch, today is the game launch. dec 20 is when they force you to put in your retail codes. this time is the grace period.

Solarixx Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Maybe they should offer "I Participated in Pre-Order, I WIN...YOU WIN" Trophies for the idiots who are throwing the temper tantrums because they did not invest in the pro-order until later.. Seriously, get over yourself...and pay attention to the many, MANY awareness notes, posts and emails that were given to you and for the love of CHRIST get over the entitled society mentality.

I'm glad you at least got your facts straight about Cata's actually sales instead of saying "13 million." There is a big difference. and SWTOR WILL outsell Cata.

Hordequester Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Could you link to one that is 1000 pages long? or has such a large proportion of its customers upset? There was a small percentage of people experiencing login issues and the only reason it happened is because Blizzard did not take down the servers for Cata launch. The clock hit midnight and millions of people hammered the login server to load Cata. Most of those people were in within 10 mins. SWTOR has been out officially for 19 hours(?) and I still can't play.No, I can't show you one that was 1,000 posts long but I also can't show you one that had half a million page views in less than a hour (which SWTOR had). Cataclysm almost had enough people around to make that many hits..almost. But, most of them were off trying to log in instead of posting. I also don't see a single post from Blizzard stating there was going to be login issues at launch. But, I can clearly see it stated (in advance) where Bioware was going to have staggered invites. Failed. Edited December 14, 2011 by Hordequester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggid Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 LOL are you dense? What planet do you live on? pissing of there customers is a BAD thing, it looses a company money, if for 1 moment you think this is a good thing, you are a fool. Heres the problem, most customers who are truly pissed off, tend to get their money and never shop there again. In this case use their service again. You however are spending so much time and effort on complaining that I feel your going to be playing regardless of when you get in the damned EGA, so what you really are is whiny and entitled. However thank you for the hours of entertainment today its kept me busy feeding off of your QQ while waiting for my EGA invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katuan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The servers may be live, but this is EARLY game access. It is not the official release date. They say 20th. If today was the Release Date, then they would say 13th. Not 20th. Get over it people. Wait a few hours, and you will get into your game! And I for one... well I will continue to wait patiently and radiate my excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNAstriker Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 And? I PREODERED the game OMG! I usually stay out of this stuff but THIS got to me! I pre-ordered the game also....5 weeks ago I think. I READ about early access and am kicking myself in the rear for not pre-ordering in July. It's NOT bioware's fault I'm not in right now, IT's MINE! And I accept and completely understand that. You should be upset at yourself, NOT anyone else. It's ENTIRELY YOUR fault! Personally, I think the way they are doing this is great. I ( and you ) waited too long to pre-order. Second, early access is a gift from Bioware, not a right. But there were rules on how to get your gift ( See above ). The ONLY other reason that you would complain about this is that you are illiterate and couldn't read what you were buying. Oh wait.... most 12 year olds don't do their research before they do something either. They just wine and complain because people won't give them what THEY want. Word of advise...Grow up! And good luck finding people to play with you with that attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
