Darianth Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm not taking issue with the fact that people are using exploits so much. People will find and use these exploits, no matter what. It's how Bioware is HANDLING IT. They have outright DENIED IT through MANY UNDENIALBE SOURCES OF PROOF that it's happening. Outright appalling. They have addressed the issue if you want to read some of their post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireyes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Final Fantasy 14 a game so bad they let everyone play for free and sent a number of apologies for releasing such a horrible product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condorius Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Shadowbane wasn't a bad launch, it was just... bad. So much wasted potential Man it's been so long I forgot I played that. Nothing like razing players hard work to the ground. Was hilarious, but man what a bad time with lagg and pretty much everything in that game.

Krissen Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Don't forget Anarchy Online... they never DID get things straight, lol. Don't ever mess with Anarchy Online it is and will always be the best mmo out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithlordXanatos Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Oh you're enjoying the game? Awesome. 90% of the people that have given these Neanderthals money have yet to. I've been in every major MMO launch from Everquest, onward, and this is, without a doubt, the worst handling of a launch I've yet seen. Hands. down. Bioware is REALLY showing their inability to maintain an online game with this. This is the most clean, polished, and stable game I have seen at launch. I have been playing most all of the day and it has never crashed, never had a queue, and is functioning great. I don't know where you are getting your information from. The game looks and feels crisp, lag free, and complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hordequester Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 DCUO was bad. Falling thru the ground after zoning, constant dc's and a bunch of visual bugs. Funny how I beta tested that game and looked so forward to the launch. Now I've beta tested this game and while I await my turn (prolly on the 19th which does me no good since I get off work after midnight and that's when they're gonna shut it down) I see nothing but DCUO for free commercials. Irony?STO -still- beams you into space when you zone on occasion, has lockup issues zoning into certain areas, and has instancing problems that have been around since launch =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's hilarious. I tried FFXI when it was on sale for like $5 and I wanted to off myslelf after 2 hours. So I wouldnt touch IX with a ten foot pole.

Kalfear Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Worst was UO The lag was so bad it literally took hours to cross Vesper To walk the span (that in a years time would take 5 minutes) could take up to 3 hours at launch AC, EQ, none of them came remotely close to UO unplayablity at launch. But you know what I didnt feel as angered and hostile at UO, AC, EQ, any of them cause while their games were not truely ready to play, you had access to them with everyone else. There was no A teirB teirC teir players as Bioware is creating here. Everyone was afforded the same oppertunity to do with it as they would.

Xibz Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I could name many. Lineage 2 comes to mind having to run a macro to log in typing your user name and password to eventually get past the log in server. Aion had horrible ques and griefing out the butt. World of Warcraft was laggy, had ques, tons of server down time, and not a single worthwhile end game raid at launch. Age of Conan was pretty smooth until level 20 when you realized thats as far as they had gotten with content and the voice overs disappeared. Then you ran into PVP lag, lag in general, and tons of server down time. Dark Age of Camelot was buggy and laggy as hell. Everquest 2 was just a horrible grind fest, and the lag was freaking horrible even 4 weeks in. (surprised I stayed that long) Please feel free to post your own experiences. DAoC wasn't laggy, but it was buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darinford Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I wish I still had a copy of LumTheMad's parody of Anarchy online/WW2 online launch. Ahwell it's lost in the river of time.

SuperGrunt Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 SWTOR's launch hadn't been bad, yeah there are a few bugs (Archaeology nodes that you can't harvest is ont that I have experienced) but the server balance isnt the fault of the Devs, it's our fault. We are the ones who have all decided that we want to be Imperial, and there aren't enough Republic players to play against. Servers that are already showing up as full, are probably due to a whole lot of guilds that didn't get placed there moving there for what ever reason. Honestly I think that the Devs have gone above and beyond to have the game launch smoothly, and I want to say thank you to them for their hard work and effort. It's appreciated.

cantDecideAname Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Saying it the worst ever I think is rather generous. Theres a difference from hardware and code failure crashes that affect all than selective oh well you know the drill. I rather crash and having them doing everything to help me than been treated like some kid in the ice cream truck line. And that doesnt include the fact of the pvprs at lvl 40 in just a day. oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunte Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Age of Conan was the best game I had ever played up until level 20. Graphics are still amazing and it was fully voiced over. Then you got out of Tortage and the voice acting and quests disappeared. And technically, this game hasn't officially launched yet.

Larsjex Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Haha, I remember this. Good old 56k connection didn't help either. I still remember Uo as the "golden times of mmo'ing though" ... some days, I just feel old Worst was UO The lag was so bad it literally took hours to cross Vesper To walk the span (that in a years time would take 5 minutes) could take up to 3 hours at launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyBigBoss Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Agreed. The only smooth one I can think of was Rift, but it obviously wasn't nearly as popular as WoW or SWTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey_swtor Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 ffxiv was so bad, it was rated as the worst game of the year last year. It was so bad that they just announced after it being out for over a year that they were completely redoing the game because it failed so much lol.. Imagine logging on and being dropped into a city with a UI that was basically unresponsive, absolutely no story line whatsoever. A total of 5 quests (This is not an exaggeration..) there is like 50 now or something lol.. Yeah.. FFXIV definetely takes the cake as the worst MMO launch ever. If you can find another one that had to completely redo the entire game from scratch, I would love to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
