PhoenixAscendere Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Wrong. Make no mistake, TODAY is launch day, not the 20th. Terms like "Early Game Access" are just marketing and public relations tools. We all preordered, and we're all missing the game launch. Add to that, they refuse to give us any meaningful information about the waves etc, so at least we could guesstimate for ourselves. They're just doing it to cover their asses. I've been at countless MMO launches, and I would rather play from day 1, with lag, servers going down etc, than to not play AT ALL. Bending semantics to suit your argument does not mean that you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaldiwen Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This has to be the worst idea ever....letting people in waves join the game? Didn't we do server stress testing in the beta about 3 weeks ago? I'm still amazed at how this is being handled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensational Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's absolutely terrible. At the very least they should've let you know when you're getting in so you don't feel like an ******e for sitting and waiting for something that might not even be coming.

They're doing this exactly as communicated and they are ahead of schedule. (for wave 2 anyway) Just relax and quit whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZail Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I feel like ****, I waited all night to get in. Now, I learn I may not even get in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NynjaSquirrel Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Personally I'd rather be sitting in a 4 hour queue - ala Rift, at least knowing I might get to play at SOME point today, rather than sitting wondering what day I'm even going to get the chance.

Carltronus Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This kinda launch seperates the impatient boys from the men. Joking of course. Well only slightly. Just wish people would learn patience. You folks would be terrible Jedi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trishot Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Please, would you stop complaining, this is just a perk to get into the game early. The release date is still the 20th, if we all decided to buy the game on release, everyone could get in. This is just a bonus for us, and a way for BioWare to handle the server load a little bit more smoothly, everybody wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachHead Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm very excited about this. I regged 22nd july and pretty sure I'm in next wave, but I can understand some frustration if you regged later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still amazed at how this is being handled I'm pretty sure you would LOVE to have 100 players fighting over a SINGLE mob/quest item in starting area all that while having 3 FPS due to traffic. Because you don't understand something they do does not mean its wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollah Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This will become standard for major MMO releases eventually. One of the best ideas for launch of a major game. If they let everyone in at the same time you would see thousands of posts crying about queues, lag and full servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think Funcom 'took the cake' for worst launch ever, but clearly BW has now surpassed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blublazefire Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The sheer amount of whining I'm seeing is showing that a portion of the community is already showing their true colors before the game launches ... there's one good thing to derive from all this, though. What servers are you qq'ers playing on? Please share, so we can all steer clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreebGoblin Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 To the OP. Next time you want to join a MMO on launch day, make sure that you order the game as soon as it becomes available. The moment I got the email to say I can preorder the game, I didn;t waste any time and went ahead and preordered from Amazon.com. As soon as they sent me the early access key I entered it on the website. So if its anyone fault, its your own. personally I think its a great idea what Bioware did with the staggered launch.
