Dustranamus Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 With all the rage caused by staggered EGA, I am hoping, praying that Bioware will drop this crap about phasing in pre-order customers. They should hopefully by now realize it is the worst idea in MMORPG history no one cares about lag we do however care that because we were unable to preorder before others, we are less important in Bioware's eyes. We are all paying customers who want to play an MMO competitively, it's not fair to allow such huge headstarts because they are favoring people who were able to purchase the game earlier. This will kill the economy and any hope elitists have at server firsts. Please keep this thread alive and ask/beg Bioware to just let us all in already.

And you are upset you have to wait in line like people who pre ordered in Aug?.... Perfectly understandable mate. But it wont happen, sorry.

Coronbale Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Heres a vote they keep it how it is. Its a new kind of game, and requires a new approach to it as gamers.

Dustranamus Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes I pre-ordered in October. Yes I'm upset as are many others. No MMO i have ever played has done anything so aggravating ever! I was in day one early release of Rift yes I had to compete with others for questing, yes there was lag, yes there was server queues. Guess what I loved it, was still one of the very first 50's in the game and felt like I earned it. I wouldn't care if I had to wait until the 20th! I just would expect others to have to wait as well. It's just completely insane that they get a head-start based off when they were capable of pre-ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenoclix Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ok, we either have people complaining about not pre-ordering on time, or we have people complaining about lag and that the servers are overflown with people, the mobs dont re spawn quick enough, to much spam bla bla bla. The staggered release date is honestly the best decision made for early access as it eliminates those annoying first day issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that the actual amount of people they are inviting could actually be ALOT more - they can still do a staggered access. Coz in all honesty, the servers are kind of dead.

Dustranamus Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thank you for sharing that the servers are dead. Bioware should take that into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prooz Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I just think they should continue to stagger access but atleast do it 24/7. No reason servers should be so open as they are. Just add more in increments that keep the server stable. Everyones happy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ljungen Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) So you pre-ordered in October. Did you read that it was UP TO 5 DAYS early access and that it depends on when you redeem your code? Edited December 14, 2011 by Ljungen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennace Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hoping that BW will wise up and drop the staggered EGA "I'm hoping BW will let me play the game early, if I had gotten into EGA then I wouldn't care. For some reason I can't find anything at all lse to do except cry" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronbale Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Agreed. Its the first time this system has been used, there are bound to be hiccups. Maybe a heavier access phase for waves? Definitely keep the launch protocol though! Hats off to the innovators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozee Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 A new kind of game, I think I read someone say? That made me laugh and this launch, as bad as it is, will stay the way it is.

SO you want to be competitive and still you slacked and preordered late? You deserve to be bored until 2012. Really. God im tired of you whiners.

WaveRaider Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Why do you feel entitled for 7 days of extra game time, again? Or are you the type of guy who would rather there be no extra game time at all and everybody start on Dec. 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making a lot of assumptions on what everyone else thinks based on what you think, I disagree, I care greatly about lag, I don't care about elitists, competetive play and self entitled players however. WARNING: The following spoiler contains rational thoughts, facts and logic, have been known to aggrevate children Did they state that you may get "up to 5 days" of early game access with the pre-order? Why yes they did. Did that statement in any way imply that if you pre-ordered you would be guaranteed 5 days early game access? No it didn't. Did they state anywhere that early game access was granted by first come first serve basis, ie the order you entered you pre-order code? Yes they did. Have they so far failed in that regard? No they haven't. Didn't they infact even extend that time to the possibility of up to 7 days early game access? Yes they did. Is it their fault that people can't be bothered to read? No it isn't. Is it their fault that people make assumptions? No it isn't.

Well then those future MMOs will have one less customer. This will be my first and last time I get burned by a staggering launch/Early Access.
