BoydofZINJ Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This has to be the worse way to launch a MMO, or any game, launch ever. It is almost worse than long queues to enter the game! Bioware is so ... overly cautious that it has denied its service to the people who want to play... only a select few get in each wave. While the rest of us... have to look and wonder why we are not the chosen ones. Why am I being punished for purchasing a Collector's Edition at Gamestop and did not get a pre-order code until Dec 7th? I have copies and pictures of me with the receipt and pictures of the receipt that shows the purchase was made in July! So why am I being denied access? Because I did not rush to the EA website and purchase it on an official EA website! I repent. I repent. Please, let me in. I am willing to use the Origin website on all future EA purchases! I bought it in September and yet I am not in... and there are people who bought lesser copies of the game... and who bought it AFTER me... who are leveling... worse yet, when I hit the PvP zones... people will be max level... picking on me... because I am not playing yet. THANKS EA Worse Launch ever? It is almost better to be in a long queue and the servers go down... from time to time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scerge Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I prefer invites perhaps I'm biased because I've been in for two days now, but I prefer that over being in a queue and then your net DC's and then you lose your place in the queue and have to start over again where as with a invite you can do it when ever you want when you want.

Skoobie Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This has to be the worse way to launch a MMO, or any game, launch ever. It isn't. In fact, so far it's been one of the better ones. You not getting in when you wanted to does not equal a MMO bad launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrill Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I actually think that once you get past the initial "OMG PEOPLE ARE PLAYING BEFORE ME" its actually the best thought out launch to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralOnasi Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 this game is having a terrible launch because i have to wait in line behind people who ordered before i did. I'd rather sit in 6 hour ques and endure server crashes so that everyone else can share in my misery too. ftfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine you did not get the invite ... for what ever reason. How would you feel? That is how I am feeling. It only seems good, if you are inside playing. Being on the outside watching in... it is... sad panda time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diellexis Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 so, its the worst launch ever cause you didnt get a code from gamestop quick enough? oh, okay... Um...if you have something that says you bought it in July....but then say you purchased in September....kind of confusing. Might want to get you facts straight before you start ************. The game does not start until the 20th...anything earlier is a thanks to BA.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnedToDust Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Whatever game is launched, the forum of that game is going to be filled fast with the complaining of a minority. Seen it happen a lot this year and its getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadna Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) You haven't played very many MMOs if you think this is the worst launch of all time. have played them all since everquest 1. i can assure you by far that this one is the worse most unfair launch ever.

BoydofZINJ Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 You haven't played very many MMOs if you think this is the worst launch of all time. I have played many MMOs where you sit in queue for hours... and hours seem like days. Then the server craps out. Rift, Warhammer Online, Age of Crap, DCUO, Vanguard, Lineage 2, and a few others.... in many ways... this only seems good... if YOU are invited early. Otherwise, it feels like you have been cheated. Worse yet, I did not get a pre-order code early enough... and because I bought a $149.99+tax product versus a digital download for $79.99 ... it seems I am being penalized. That is the kicker. If I was only buying a normal copy... then i could say... "OH YEA... MY FAULT FOR NOT GIVING EA MORE OF THE MONEY." But I am buying the most expensive version of the game, and I bought it before many of the people playing the game... and yet... I am the one being penalized... and I am still shelling out more money than most of the people who are playing. The frustration is boiling.

Leggomy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The game has not launched yet so I dont know what the complaint is. I think the whole idea everyone will be lvl 50 in a week is a tad exaggerated. I was in beta for some time and it isnt an easy task leveling to 50. If you do it in a week that means you dont sleep, eat or shower heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoydofZINJ Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wait I'm confused did you buy two copies or just get your purchase date all mixed up? I bought the CE at Gamestop. To this date, the store has yet to receive pre-order codes. When it was announced that the early access can be upto a week in advance... i bought a SECOND copy of the game... a lesser version... a $79.99 version... versus the CE $149.99. So think about that, I have bought two games... and I am not even playing yet. The CE purchase was in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
