Atalantia Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Hmmmm I dont remember them saying a thing about staggered early release until sept or Oct I could be mistaken, but thats the first I remember hearing about it, either way though, They got ques and they are going to have bigger one so, except for the 100k they let in the first two day the staggered release is a fail sauce Edited December 16, 2011 by Atalantia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legado Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I preordered in oct, but never got a email. I did get a email from gamestop 2months later giving me a preordered code, so does that mean they wont recognize it as oct but as dec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealjedi Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 why are so many people upset about such a small thing.. you wait how long to play this game?? its three days.. we should all be playing tmw..

Togtokes Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yes we can blame them for being disgruntled, grow up people holy cow. It is a game, and not 100% your gonna get in anyways, it was not a Promise, just a Gift for pre orders. They have a lot of pre orders so it is slow. This is a fact of life. If none of you realize this than that is your issue not ours, and i am also waiting as a CE pre order, but have been around long enough to know posting QQs on forums does not help the cause at all whatsoever in any occasion.

SushaBrancaleone Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 to OP: pasting a comment i made on another thread for u u NEVER paid 5$ more for the playing early the +5$ is like a deposit and it will be given back to you in game time (you wont have to pay one month) the preorer service is also alowing u to download the game without having to go to the shop. the service will continue after launch at the same price, so if u buy the preorder now, u are just buying the game as anyone else would be after launch but witha chance to a couple days of early access. you are not paying it more than them. so its not as if you are being robbed of your money if u dont get early access... stop being such a .. square as for the remaining cost of the product well that is the cost of the product and you would be paying it anyway after the 20th... also btw i dont know where u do your shopping but u might want to check out ASDA and other supermarket instead of shopping at waitrose or tescos... 80 £ or $ a week in groceries is a lotta money, unless u live in seventh heaven telivision series..

Sotaudi Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hmmmm I dont remember them saying a thing about staggered early release until sept or Oct I could be mistaken, but thats the first I remember hearing about it, either way though, They got ques and they are going to have bigger one so, except for the 100k they let in the first two day the staggered release is a fail sauce Try again. They have been saying that release would be staggered from the very first moment pre-ordering was opened. The order in which you redeem your Pre-order Code is the order in which you will gain Early Game Access before the game’s official release. So don’t wait and pre-order now! That line has been on the preorder page from the very start. I saw it no less than three times when I went through the pre-order process the first day. The information was in the pre-order FAQ, and, if I am not mistaken, that same line was even in the email they sent out announcing pre-ordering. Add to the fact that this has been discussed ad nauseum on these forums since pre-ordering started, and you are simply re-writing history by suggesting this was something only announced in October. Either way, only 100k over the first two days? Yet another re-write of history. At that pace, it would take them approximately 18 days to get the estimated 900,000+ pre-orders from retail stores alone into the game. And given that estimate only includes retail shop pre-orders, not digital or online orders, and even that number is low. Are there now queues showing up? Sure. What MMO doesn't occassionally have them, especially during a release? Did they warn that there would be some queues especially as they near the end of the staggered release? Yes they did. Bt you know what? I able to play since around 7 AM on the 13th, getting in and out of the game a number of times when I have been on, and I have not once had to wait in a queue. The only "fail sauce" is your failure to stick to the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasoc Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I think the early access idea was a great idea and I'm not even IG yet. Launch day will still be hectic, but not nearly as severe as it would have been if there was no early access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo-starider Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 normally I am understanding of other people frustration. However the vast majority of complaints don't seem to have any validity other than people didn't read or understand the conditions of early access its really getting old and what I would really like to see is a whiners server where all these folks can go....with its own forum as well. so really its a big WHATEVER and GET OVER IT to all these guys that can't read.

Gfredx Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Funny thing. I paid for my gift. Those of us that ordered via origin had an early access pre-order fee attached.

Gfredx Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Guy they are a company. Probably not a good idea to idolise a corporation.... They are making money by providing a service. Or that is what it is suppose to be. lol hmm video game or groceries?

Clash Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Been getting a lot of people saying it's people's own fault for not ordering sooner and etc. As I've said before, I didn't choose to not order in July, I would have in a heartbeat. People don't have the extra income to spend on games whenever they feel like it, idk why that is hard to understand. But pre-order cost £5 from Origin (obviously if you're from the US then you would have paid the US equivalent). And cards are charged upon release. You didn't have to pay full price.

Atalantia Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 ya funny thing is that if you took the time to read a reciept from origins about the 5 dollar charge, line number 5 say and I quote, "Additional Product Information:Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Digital Deluxe Edition Pre-Order Fee 1) Go to http://www.swtor.com/preorder/code 2) Click "Register your pre-order" (You will be prompted to log in or create a Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ account if needed) 3) Enter and Confirm your pre-order code when prompted. 4) Complete Registration. 5) You will be notified by email of your early access time at a later date." And since the only amount of cash charged to my credit card as of this moment is the 5 dollar pre order charge and number 5 says I will be notified of my Early acces time. I would say that the 5 dollars I have paid to date is for early access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfredx Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) When I ordered off origin it was full price. Mind you with an early access pre-order fee attached. Edit; NM was 5:30 but it was for early access which not getting. But pre-order cost £5 from Origin (obviously if you're from the US then you would have paid the US equivalent).

TheRealMallidon Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Still so much whining on these forums. People, go outside, move away from your computer for a little bit, go and live your lives, this is after all a game and your lives shouldn't revolve around it LOL. I am not in the EGA yet, i redeemed in dec and knew (because i actually read the information) that i might not get in on day 5 of the EGA. But lets not forget that day 5 has only just begun, the majority of you are complaining about the EXTRA (did you get that?) EXTRA 2 days that Bioware ever so kindly granted to their player community. This launch has gone very well as far as i can tell but sadly the minority of stupid morons who either can't read or believe they are gods gift to this world are whining because they aren't in yet. Get a grip of you life and go do something with it. The game will still be here when you get back. And yes, i really can blame people like you.... God complex, get over yourself. Pretty much sums up my feelings too, and you are in the same boat as me, a December pre order who isn't complaining, high five? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrinic Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Nobody said I want already in did they I just showed you what my reciept says 5 dollars for early access Well it's a good thing that the game doesn't launch for 5 days then now isn't it?

Gfredx Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It is not always putting things off. After the last star wars game a great deal of people did a wait and see until after beta. Even then I for one did not know when pre-orders opened up. Some people have work, and school, and or family. This time of the year is strange for a ton of people. Vacations, and what not.

Atalantia Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The reason i posted the reciept is the claim that this was a gift just makes me laugh. it clear states in the receipt that the 5 dollars they have charged me to date is so I can get invited to early access, sure its a small amount but still weren't no freebie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
