MortisMortavius Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Why can't they just say what days the waves span? Preferably add; what waves are planned for what days... Why is that so much to ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctivagus Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Because then they'd have to do math, and they're all out of abacuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sableyes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) because then if anything goes wrong they will have even more complaints and if things go well they look like heroes. Edited December 14, 2011 by sableyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortisMortavius Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Because then they'd have to do math, and they're all out of abacuses. LOL, but they've already done the math. They've already stated vague information like, "a much larger timeframe". They should just POST the math... I think it's rather disrespectful to all of us waiting in the wings to not post this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'd have more complaints than they do now, tbh. I think people would much rather have a ballpark range than nothing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalprobe Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's mostly just 'let a few people in, see what happens' as of now. Bioware have lots of experience launching MMOs, remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruthJT Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think yesterday they had a bonus wave. Not having a set time frame allows for them to make adjustments on the fly, maybe things are good and they can add a bonus wave. Or maybe they are having issues and need to hault things, they gotta stay flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcnelis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 People are crying cause they're not giving the info, so they don't know when they will be in. People would cry if they DID give the info, and something happened, and they weren't able to log in when they were told. Either way, people are going to cry.

I wouldnt call a 4 days of pre order's in the first wave much larger lol my friend PR'd july 27th and was in yesterday i hear people that PR'd the 3rd of august are in but not people that did the 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcnelis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 That would be great I'd take a rough estimate with "SUBJECT TO CHANGE!" in huge red letters above it, over not having a clue... Most people are saying this. However, most people would STILL complain, even if they had that "SUBJECT TO CHANGE!" on the email. People KNEW there was going to be staggered access to early access, yet they are STILL complaining that there is staggered access! You think they'd be quiet if the date they were "promised" didn't come through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a set time frame allows for them to make adjustments on the fly, maybe things are good and they can add a bonus wave. Or maybe they are having issues and need to hault things, they gotta stay flexible. These things are not mutually exclusive at all. If you say, "Here's the waves, here's the dates they span" then we'd know an order. We'd know they plan to do up to Aug 30th today (or whatever). We'd know who is getting in on what wave and we'd know if there's a delay it would be up to Aug 20th and if there was a bonus wave they'd be up to Sept 10th... Obviously just throwing out some random dates here but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayln Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Why can't they just say what days the waves span? Preferably add; what waves are planned for what days... Why is that so much to ask for? because that would defeat the entire purpose, of changing the waves and the times and how big the waves are and when they go depending on changing conditions on the servers.

Sakes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Because how many get in is based on server performance, thus they cannot say. It varies. This like most of the questions have been answered before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelluvaJedi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Or even just what PreOrder dates are in what waves. That way I can infer what day I might have access and Bioware doesn't have to "commit" just to make me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortisMortavius Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 They said on twitter people will be mad if the dates they post are wrong so they are not going to post dates. So instead they opt to leave EVERYONE mad all at the same time... Why can they not see it's at least an improvement over what they are doing now? Why are they so unwilling to take steps in the right direction and instead opt to keep EVERYONE aggravated and in the dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
