FASARouge Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 If I had a properly functioning time machine I could go into the future and see what my Retail Code is gonna be so I could put in now..... Unfortunately the only Time machine I have access to is not working correctly... it's stuck in forward and due to some broken parts only moves at normal speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasaeo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 So anyone know if the waves go out all day or if they go out right away and done till tomorrow(if so that would make it impossable for alot of people to get any EGA.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jekar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have a feeling that by this Friday everyone who preordered will be in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooskyarf Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 We didn't all pay the same Money! Some bought Standard, some bought Deluxe & some bought Collectors!!! you still pay the same for the basic game and what you pay more is jsut your statue and books and items i dont see how that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenjohnp Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Probably about 3-6 hours per wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yechidah Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm a bit dismayed at how long it's taking to send out Wave 2, considering not everyone from July 21 has gotten in yet. If this is the kind of pace we can expect then I'm worried about exactly how long it will take to get everyone in game. I mean, surely less people ordered in July compared to November? -Bel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjensen Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I ordered mid-morning 7/21, code right after. Not in yet, but hopefully some time today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeroescape Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think sending out some sort of email to people with a guesstimate would have been great for all of us waiting since 2008 and all. Starting out on the right foot is always nice and the ability to communicate is so as well. They could have posted in what order, how far apart the dates are for each wave, or some sort of info so we could at least know around about when to start trying. Odds are they do not know that info, and if they emailed an official early access dates, then people would be ************ that they didnt get in at there assigned date/time if things went wrong. Its lose/lose for swtor employees atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixOnFire Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 8th of September here. Bang in the middle of all pre-orders. I'm hoping for tomorrow but thinking Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jekar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I -do- say so. This site recognizes I registered my CE on 7/22, but also says I didn't register my code until 11/02. I did ALL the registration on the same day, of that I am sure. I know I didn't wait FOUR months to activate my code for early access. I didn't even keep the code after I registered it, so it wouldn't even be possible. Besides, what would I have to gain by saying that on these forums? Don't be silly. The 11/2 was for the beta test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feiff Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Registered my pre-access key 22/7, so I am hopeful for today, but cautiously so. Edited December 13, 2011 by Feiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabags Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 the whingers need to just stop with it already, they'll get in when they get in..its the first day..early on the first day too. Relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaexyn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Seriously. They're probably running metrics and monitoring the loads pretty carefully as they roll out. An hour at work is NOTHING and they're probably rolling their eyes at everyone who is whining. Check the bold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaoticfringe Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Did not put min in until 10DEC11, heh, so I guess I'll be waiting, but I like the idea of a staggered start, maybe I will not have to compete for resources as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshxor Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 So what you're saying is that you'd like any sort of response to when the next wave is going out? Even if they were to hop on here and simply respond with: Sometime today between now and 11:59 PM. That would satiate your hunger for knowledge and make you stop being angry? I doubt it.

knite Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Biowares doesn't want to get pinned down by giving hard information. It's the reason they didn't give us dates for early access. For the same reason we won't get information telling us how long to expect between waves. You would think a company would rather own up to being a little off on their numbers than laying the burden on hundreds of thousands of their customers. Just my thoughts.

GamewizX Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm just surprised it seems like they didn't invite many to the first wave... Most of the servers are still low population with only a few at medium population. During the stress tests they maxed out all the servers in minutes yet they held up just fine...

DonMarko Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Where not going to get ETAs on wave for the same reason we didn't get hard dates when to expect access in the first place. Biowares doesn't want to get pinned down by giving hard information. It's the reason they didn't give us dates for early access. For the same reason we won't get information telling us how long to expect between waves. Biowares wants to be able to be able to adapt to the server stress as needed. Giving numbers, like saying the next wave is in an hour, handcuffs them. It builds expectations that may need to be crushed. People would go crazy if their early access date was for example the 14th and it got pushed back to the 15th. People will go nuts if the next beta wave is in 1 hour and it gets push backed 4 hours. Keeping the community in the dark, while annoying, gives people less to be angry about, well other than angry about being kept in the dark. Moral of the story, humans are angry angry creatures. We are all adults to a point though, so if say we knew may 1-21 is 2nd wave and I was say in the 3rd wave. I would know when my guild mates in the 2nd wave were in and I could start bringing up the game client there after and not sit around and waste my time. I understand it will be when they make it so, does not mean I have to like it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberate Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 If they're playing it this safe with servers, how are they going to handle launch? Not complaining, genuinely interested. They will open up so many servers, people will be so spread out, then folks will leave, servers will die over time; barren wastelands with no one to group with. I've seen it time and time again.

comradeboris Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Patience people, we get in when they are ready for us. Besides most of us have waited years, hours longer wont hurt...
