Flowerslayer Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Most sources say really early October, cut off being sometime on the 2nd I've gathered. These sources are people saying they personally got in and I even did a bit of checking and they haven't done troll posts beforehand. Anyone that says November or late October is just trolling and I can say that personally as I'm 24th October thanks for the reply. im october 17, so I guess we'll be in the first or second wave tomorrow.

Kyromoo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Umm this is the actual conversation. The one floating around about a bonus wave is false. DrewIAHWK @DrewIAHWK 1h · Details @Rockjaw Why are you guys still advertising up to 5 days EGA? No way will anyone post November get more then 1 day, seems kinda deceitful. Stephen Reid @Rockjaw Close @DrewIAHWK It's a little early to be saying that. Not quite. THIS could be conversation as well, depending on which tweet he's replying to: @DrewIAHWK DrewIAHWK @Rockjaw is that it for today? or will we get a bonus wave maybe? 24 minutes ago via web Rockjaw Stephen Reid @ @DrewIAHWK It's a little early to be saying that. 21 minutes ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how it says you joined Oct 2011 I'm guessing you didn't enter your code until then? It goes by when you redeem your code not when you preorder sadly or I would be in already...

jmcnelis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 2nd day, I pre ordered July 21st and I'm still not in :/ I blame Origin. Did you make sure to enter your pre-order code into your account? Not trying to be a jerk for asking, but if you put the code in, I don't see why you're not in. And if you're not, and you did enter the code, I'd call someone if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDeas Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I understand their reason for doing this wave stuff and it's not all that bad except for the huge name disadvantage and the fact their will be lvl 50's when you first login. None of this makes me mad at all, because what theyre doing can be worth that in a way. But what i can't live with, is the fact that they do waves for 4 hours and that's it.. 4hours/day. Ofcourse it's to give the server some time etc. w/e your reasons are but 4 hours/day are just ridiculous imo, they could atleast do twice as much waves. I've watched quite a few livestreams while waiting and have seen no reason not to do it. What's your opinion on this? Most people will log on in the evening though within maybe 2/3 hours of each other. It's quite a good stress test then. Remember the server needs to put up with high uptake and then long periods of stagnation. It not just about max server capacity, it's about how it can deal with being loaded and offloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larryeabel Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Congratulations to all of those who have been granted early access! Although you may have initially felt moments of rage and anger over being held out from earlier waves of invites, your trials are over.. and you are gaming happily at this moment. Kudos to you and deservedly so, you pre-ordered this wonderful new game and were given the very early access that was reward for pre-order. But now let us all focus our attention on the problem that is at hand. The arrogance of a game provider holding steadfast to a completely arbitrary, slow, and entirely unnecessary delay in yielding invitations to all pre-order customers. Why is it arbitrary, slow, and entirely unnecessary? Please consider the following: #1 (arbitrary) - the game was initially marketed to have early access beginning December 15th with up to five days of potential early access. Actual invitations began on December 13th. How does this happen? Because the invitation process is arbitrary. The server infrastructure is in place. This game becomes official on December 20th. Do not be naive as to think that this game can not support all customers (including those yet to even purchase) at this very moment. If there was a thought that the servers could not handle the existing pre-order population... there would be no way that launch of the official release would occur in less than four days. The stress test conducted over the thanksgiving holidays proved the severs could handle all existing orders to date... and would be capable of handling additional loads upon official launch. In fact, the successful thanksgiving holiday allowed the arbitrary early access to be moved up. The infrastructure was in place... all was fine... so the provider began to open its doors. #2 (slow) - on the first arbitrary day of early access, our arrogant provider decided to allow only those pre-orders that occurred during the month of July 2011. Why? Because arrogance has blinded the provider. "Keep it slow and regimented and we can build excitement and anticipation. Those pre-orders yet to be invited will sit and wait eagerly." These are the statements of an arrogant provider unwilling to believe that negative marketing consequences can result from such a slow and arbitrary early access schedule. Why only four waves, concluding at 1:30 in the afternoon on the first day of early access launch? Is it beyond the realm of possibility that a full scale mmo, one that will have servers running 24/7 at launch, could systematically phase invitations in on an hourly basis every hour on the hour beginning on 12/13? No, it is not impossible to implement nor foolish to do so... Those that pre-order first, received their just deserts... earlier access than those that pre-ordered later. This is not in question... nor is it being criticized. What is, is the unbelievably slow delays between invitation that are completely artificial, arbitrary, and unnecessary. Done solely based on an arrogant view that all customers will wait anxiously, and any backlash will be minor and inconsequential to the overall gain. #3 (unnecessary) - the reality is that all pre-order customers could have been gaming as of 7am on 12/13/2011. But that would hardly seem fair as those that pre-ordered yesterday would receive the same reward as those that pre-ordered in July. The game provider is correct that a staggered invitation process must be conducted to provide the necessary justification to those that pre-ordered so many months ago... and to ensure the future success of very early pre-order events on games yet to be created. As stated above, it is not a criticism that those who pre-ordered first, received access earlier than those who did not. The criticism is entirely levied at one and only one point. The completely unnecessary and artificially slow delays between waves of invitations. Four waves of invitations on day 1... conducted between 7am and 1pm... with a 19 hour gap until invitations of waves began again on day 2. Please, this is truly an outrage and insults the intelligence of all pre-order candidates yet to be invited. We are not pavlovian dogs...waiting for the email bell to sound. While we surely will game happily when that email does finally arrive, consider that damage is being wrought at this very moment and will continue to build with every passing lazy arrogant hour that further invitations are not sent out. This hold back is arbitrary..and it is that knowledge that yields anger and customer dissatisfaction. The likely result will manifest weeks and months from now... when those whose mouths are currently filled with a very very bitter taste of arrogant, slow, artificial bs... begin to fire back not words of hate on this forum... but dollars of protest in canceled and un-renewed subscriptions. In conclusion, your marketing campaign was effective Mr. Swtor game provider. You achieved the hype and anticipation intended. The early access carrot was effective and many hundreds of thousands have gladly forked 60+ dollars to receive this reward. But now that the hour is upon you... now that invitations are going out... the need for continued slow and artificial delays between invitations is achieving an undesired effect your arrogance did not first pre-conceive. Enjoy the coming fruits of this labor... you have seen evidence already on these forums.... but that evidence is inconsequential. The evidence to your wallet months from now... that will be the evidence you will wish you had anticipated....the type of evidence you would gladly strive then to avoid today. nice post- but what can we do,we either wait or rage quit-i do think the dmg is done-mmo gamers are unforgiving.also there are people that are lv 33+ after 1 day atm,wich makes me wounder if the game has staying power.sure its a great game but will gamers stay after they hit cap with lil to do?i hope so.
