NimTheRat Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Why did you stop there? No people to do group quests with. No heavy or full servers. No chance to get competitive at end game if you didn't start Tuesday. No one that didn't start Tuesday will remember this as a good release. ...so just to be clear, you're actually of the opinion that there is 'no chance' to ever be competitive in end-game if you don't hit the ground running on the very first day that logins are possible? All the folks who didn't pre-order are destined to a life of mediocrity? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobleRogue Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 No they're not, bad troll bad! I mean the alternative would be everyone and their moms trying to log into the game on the 20th. If the intention of this headstart was a test to see how the general public are likely to react, every "thanks! this was a GREAT idea!" post is not going to disincline them from officially launching the game in the same *appreciated* mode this way it recreates... what did the OP say? No ques to get in. No quest mob camping. No crashes at all. No lag at all. All I know is that I for one will be counting down the seconds to put in my game code the moment I receive it and secretly hope for the people who started day1 to either have some sort of shipping glitch/delay or be too busy playing in head start to check their mail so they end up lower on the cue and having to wait a day or two after the 20th to get back into the game. If they're still happy at that point, hey more power to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramyn Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Congrats Bioware on the successful and smooth launch. Finally a company with enough brains to not allow every person into a new MMO at once (which is always a disaster). Also, this is coming from someone who is not even playing yet. You whiny brats need to grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do i have a chance of getting first in a foot-race if i start 10 seconds behind others? Yes, Of course I'm at a major disadvantage now aren't I?

Draggoul Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Agree to a point. First day should have been everybody that ordered first, and day two should have been everybody else. At the end of the day, we all contributed in the same way. Some of us just did it sooner. I honestly don't think making people wait three, four or even five days is remotely fair to anyone that purchased a pre order, no matter when they did it. As far as server loads, the zones are instanced, and there are more servers than any launch I've ever seen. What I am saying is that large companies that have huge debt/cashflow 90 days is a huge chunk of change. Now if that raises stock prices on anticipation then that could be even bigger. This is seriously nothing to sneeze at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought that because you started 1-2 days later then other people that you won't be able to be competitive in end-game is just laughable. 1-2 days MEANS NOTHING in the long run.

But you agree that, no matter how small, I have a disadvantage imposed on me by the game right? 10s in a 10 mile race is nothing... but its still a disadvantage to have to make that 10s up.

You whiny brats need to grow up. except they are stilld oing this, on the 20th. this is just an early access that they are staggering, i assume to try and get people in a wave past each level point, so at lunch the newbie areas are as clutter free as possible. that said, on launch day there will still be everyone logging on, any lag will still happen as well as queue times. this will just cut down on "some" content lag. but even then there will likyl be alot. im not saying they did anything wrong, im just saying that this launch doesnt solve the problem you claim it to. itsolves a diffrent one.

Not if they schedule a roll out on the Dec 20th launch date. Course you limit the waves to 5-6, then it is likely people will have to wait their turn to access the game again. Note also that there will be no grace period for Early Game Access players to continue playing the game without redeeming their Product Registration Code and Sign up for a recurring subscription or enter a Pre-Paid Game Time Code. Essentially bumping them to the back of the line similar to people who pre ordered early but didn't register their code until later for whatever reason.
