Aethra Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 just to get some facts straight. since today is the 14th, we are 6 days ahead of official launch. SO PLS STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT TO HAVE EGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celethorn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think that the mods should create some stickies telling the people to have patience, not to create anymore threads complaining about not having early access yet, and state clearly how it was stated from the very start that it was never promised they would have exactly 5 days of early start time and that it was always *up to* 5 days, and that they are getting the time before the official launch for free without any charge, and so on...

Aethra Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 yeah, an official statement would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erulinda Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) They don't "have to" to be honest. Anyone with half a brain knew before hand what they ment. Noone can fault them for the very few, yet very vocal, people throwing tantrums. You know what the best thing is you can do when a kid throws a tantrum ? You ignore them till they calm down. There's alot more people "not" complaining then people that are. But as usual people in MMoRPG's expect them to cater to the few and not the many. If you cave in over this, you'll see your game go to apecrap with in months, because the kiddies will know they can win if they whine enough. I seen it far to often. Classes getting nerfed over tantrumfests on forums just to mention the most disruptive form. Do NOT give in to trolls, or it won't stop... "ever" till this game is what "they" want and not what the majority of us do... Edited December 14, 2011 by Erulinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO PLS STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT TO HAVE EGA. telling players that they can't play when servers are light and you take a break after stopping your waves for 18 hours is just bad community management, stop white knighting for bw. what happens in ega gives the paying customers an idea how bw will handle the community at the retail launch not just the favorite player launch.

slackbheep Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Whatever their excuse, there are empty servers and hundreds of thousands of bored fans venting frustration at being unable to play. They've traded the distinction of "the smoothest mmo launch in history" for a whole lot of unhappiness in their community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's yet to be seen if it's "the smoothest mmo launch in history" since it hasn't launched yet. Besides there'd be just as much unhappiness from people who are impatient and can't read if they let everyone in and they had to deal with mob competition, lag, queue times and crashes.

Bobbasv Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I like how ppl who pre orderd late will get pwned on day 1 with all the 50's running around, thats gonna ruin alot of experinses to new players. i wish i never pre ordered tbh, i dont even wanna play the game anymore.

Saying that you don't want to play because you can't get in early makes you sound extremely childish. Edited December 14, 2011 by Dasffion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It launched yesterday (13/12) everyone not playing atm is going for late access to the game. After all it is fair enough to say that the number of people preordered the game is going to be more then the people that decided to play on the 20/12. That being said BW didn't keep it a secret what they were going to do with the launch phases and noone should be surprised now or crying over it. It's a bit too late you had since July to do it.

HangmanBones Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Launch is not till the 20th. Early Access != Launch. i see the 2 bioware founders calling this launch and a london launch event, sure seems like a game launch, keep white knighting. bioware seems to want to play favorites with certain paying customers over others.

valkour Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 they shouldnt allow peeps that start on launch day to be on same servers as peeps with 7 day head start. each day they allow peeps in they should only be able to join servers open the next day new servers open and people that get access taht day should have to choose new servers. So I would choose a light server so u knoiw you will not be out lvled to bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtmach Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's torturing me! I posted yesterday that we should all relax but I admit I was full of it. The whole day I was refreshing email every 5-10 min. Just too excited. I don't even have the time to play it for hours on end but I need to know that I can play at all just for the peace of mind.

"Last thing. Why aren't we continuing to send waves over time? Two main reasons - one, because we need to see that the servers are maintaining stability over time; adding a lot of players in a short period (in other words, stress testing) can cause stability issues." follow the dev tracker great info there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiHZero Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm sorry, but the 20'th isn't launch day. They can call it that, but the moment people start playing permenant characters, the game is launched. The 20th is just 'everyone's in' day.

vobra Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Launch is not till the 20th. Early Access != Launch. I do understand what your trying to say the problem lies in the simply fact you can say the game Launch in 20/12/2015 but it still doesn't matter at this stage. The game HAS launched already.
