Braynsmaher Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Heck at least some of you actually get emails. I never get the real important ones from them. I always have to find out myself through just trying to log on or from the web site. I ALWAYS check spam folders, email has been verified. Heck I have email changed it from my comcast email address to the gmail one i have, and still no luck in getting emails. Now I know I will have to wait a few days since i summitted my pre-order on 9-24-11. However I have little hope in getting an actual email saying go ahead.

Delsia Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I used to wait around for the early access like you, then I took an arrow to the knee. did that help you get in faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heappestre Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 People are blowing Reid's twitter up with hate right now. I for one am not surprised. I can't believe they are only doing 4 waves and if that's true, I honestly think the moaning deserved for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucaha Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Not sure how this is gonna hold up though, if 2 days are barely in over a day. Only 6 days after this.... And well... almost 5 more months of pre-orders to wade through.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch_Blade Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 im sure many of the people selected for the first three waves have yet to log in. Most people that can afford to play probably have jobs. If I were a betting man, i'd put a grand on that being the reason for limiting waves. I preordered the 24th so I will go back to shooting people in the knee until tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthWIN Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 That "slow an steady wins the race" bs isnt gonna work here bioware. You are suppose to be changing the mold not conforming to it. I cant imagine that you thought this was the best choice of action, i mean knowing how many people actually want to play this game what are you gonna do when you cant limit who wants to logon. Eventually you will have to deal with your servers stability if that seems to be an issue, and dealing with it during the "FREE" ega seems like the time to do it imo, servers go down or need a restart you can do that now without to many people qqing and just say deal with it its bonus game time. Just think if their are this many qq posts now because people arent getting in yet, what are you guys going to do when the game is live and your servers cant handle the load and now you have people who have actually spent money on the sub fees saying *** bioware why did you take care of this sooner now I cant play and I am paying for your service.

And well... almost 5 more months of pre-orders to wade through.... The two things Bioware said was that today especially you won't see a big spread as far as dates are concerned because preorders spiked the highest when they were first released. And Bioware also said that they are starting out slow and ramping up to bring more in each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took pretty good care of server stability. You must not have been around the last few weeks or you are stretching for a reason for Bioware to allow more players per day (QQ).

And well... almost 5 more months of pre-orders to wade through.... I feel the internet rage growing but if they did 1 million pre-orders it would make sense for: 1,000,000/7 = ~150k people a day to get invites, I wonder how many they are up to right now, I also wonder if they have a system to where we sent out 37,500 invites on this wave, but only idk something like 17,500 are getting on and working it, therefore theres 20,000 spots that are still open, if they will send out replacement emails for those who can't login Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acala Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I wonder, if they won't be able to take the first 5 day of preorders in the game today, how they will do the rest of the 5 months in another 5 more days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marthin Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I dont really mind the wave thing. But would really like some kind of status on it.Like them saying: Ok june done, wave 6-9 will be july-sep. 10-15 will be october and so on. What way we would figure out "OK i'm in wave 9'. Or something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not have been around the last few weeks or you are stretching for a reason for Bioware to allow more players per day (QQ). Which is my point exactly, they know what the server stability is, 3 waves an they still arent done with the 7/21 invites either 80% of the preorders happened on the 21st or they are being overly cautious. What reason do they have to be cautious when the servers withstood the beating it took on the thanksgiving day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentinelBorg Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) They at least wont get a reputation for a smooth launch, because people will feel that they just cheated with their heavy staggering.

They should know if the servers can hold X people or XX. And they should already have the servers they need for the preorder. I dont mind waiting a few more days, i was set on 17 dec from start so.

DarthSabreth Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Assuming there is only 4 waves per day or at least today, is there any word on what time tomorow they will start the waves up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightequalsd Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I just got my e-mail at 8:10 pst. I redeemed on 7/23. Good luck ya'll. FYI the character name I used for the beta is now invalid, so you might want to think of a few back up names just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people always will, but a lot of threads and moaning in here is because people don't know anything concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but if you remember they staggered those as well, some got in Friday, others Saturday, others Sunday, so it would only make sense that they do it this way I am sure they are letting more people in on these waves than they did with the Beta open waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXxZone Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I Agree, i find the lack of information disgusting. 1 small post on telling us something about what is going on and how they are planning it would totaly do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
