JNeale Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The worst part about waiting for Day 2 waves is... Looking at the current servers and seeing EVERY single one is either Standard Capacity or Light Capacity and still not being able to get in an play yet.

Dogblaster Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Bad launch is just bad launch ... Okey servers are free of lagg, servers are without queus but only for minority. Private launch yeee I am just telling that everyone would rather wait in queu where atleast you have timer instead of waiting for an email ... what an idea So tell me, who cares about free lag and no queue now? 10% Of subscribers, 20? There is STILL going to be lag and queues if servers cant handle now, they wont handle the players at launch anyway ..

Kainil Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yeah, I completely agree with you that seeing server loads like that is just pathetic and aggravating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdmiralOnasi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'd rather have them err on the side of caution and avoid server crashes at all costs rather than let too many people in at once at have the servers come down. That said, they did say earlier that they would be letting more people in on day 2 than they did on day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neofate Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Actually they announced they have shifts around the clock for first month, especially this week. So yes, they have all the staff they need on hand for this. Second: The LOWER these server pops are, the better likelihood they will be more aggressive on Day 2, and so on.

JNeale Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 By now we all could have waited in a 20 hour que, and still be in game playing. Even with the waves they should have split them evenly throughout the 24 hours of the day because people work different shifts. I would have much prefered the long ques...even if they put in a 2-3 hour per person limit then boot them off to let others have a chance for the first week. Then you can just get back in line.

RichLather Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No the worst part is the sleight chance that i will get in tommorro (probably not since i was a sept pre order) so I will be up at 6 am spamming refresh, and probably go to bed sad and annoyed AGAIN.

No, but you also have to figure, Bioware is US based. A lot of the invites sent out were people who were most likely at work until 3-4-5-6 and so on. So they really didn't know yet how the servers would handle the full load of the first 5 waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But meh, I'm always looking on the bright side, on day 2 they already had a day to see how things went and may adjust the amount of waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIONengines Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Servers queues were almost entirely Heavy and Full all day through the invite process. Yes, in the middle of the night on a weekday, they are down to light and medium.... and it's only the first day. They already said, the number on invitations is ramping up dramtically, be patient.

You have absolutely no idea how many "dramatically" is. You're just hoping it's as large as you think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the current servers and seeing EVERY single one is either Standard Capacity or Light Capacity and still not being able to get in an play yet. Worse part for me is... i pre-ordered on the 12th... a very good chance i might only get 1 or 2 day of Early Access.. But in my heart... i never give up hope... that i will be selected tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomAxxaxxin Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Seriously, I don't get it. The servers are still light/medium population. I mean, on freaking Monday they were empty!! Why the heck couldn't we all get in on Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
