PeppermintPanda Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Honestly, I see no problem with a staggered pre-launch, but I think that if I was in charge of it I would have released the pre-orders in waves associated with what day they would enter the game.

Jocken Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Brilliant idea! Staggering the launch by pre-order date, much after the fact! Now almost all my guild is in and playing without me, their guild leader. I guess I was too busy wasting my time beta testing the game to pre-order right away, not that I was told that it would make a difference how soon I would be able to access the game. Months of work organizing a guild, including a whole prelaunch program wasted because you damned idiots decided to make the launch unfair and not let everyone in at the same time. The game isn't even close to a finished or stable product. Take this game and this launch and shove it up your arse. your only pissed off cause you did not use the pre-order code in time. get over yourself. you would rather jump ahead of those who actually did do what was requires. I bet your one of those who cut ahead of the line at the shopping mall too. If you did not enter the pre-order code in time then blame yourself.

SyrusJI Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 it isnt launch day until the game is released......last time i heard it was still the 20th. so stop crying. :mad: I seriously have to laugh at all the people arguing that this isn't launch because Bioware tells them that it isn't. This is a MMO. Launch is whenever the first person creates the first character in the game that is not going to be deleted. Saying that customers shouldn't feel left out because the game hasn't "launched" yet is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BioWare had done the reverse, opened the floodgates and had servers crashing, huge queues, you'd be right back here on the forums with a post entitled "Congratulations, on the worst launch concept ever!". You can't please all people, and that's fine since most people are morons. Not to mention that this is not launch. If you'd like to complain because there are issues on the 20th, then by all means. Until then, stop whining like a spoiled brat and wait your turn like EVERYONE ELSE. Edited December 15, 2011 by Strongfort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is called early start for a reason...meaning it is BEFORE the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This argument is nullified by the fact that the stress test (which was really a hype preorder building demo) invited insane amounts of people at the same time on a peak time (a holiday weekend). There wouldn't have been crashes if they had continued invites from the 13th after the peak times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memo_ Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 As a guild leader I made it a priority to make sure I was in the first wave of invites. You should have done the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiiX Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The game isn't even close to a finished or stable product. It IS a stable game, there has been no reported lag from the official Bioware team. And the "official" game has not been launched yet... What this is, is EARLY ACESS... And the reason they are letting people in, in waves, is that they don't want the servers collapsing because of thousands of people all joining at once and the whole login server crashes.

Datku Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Ok couple of things. 1.) Talk about pre-ording have been going on since well before July 21st and the fact the sooner you pre-order and register the more early access time you would get. Staggered entry was always planned. So since you were too busy playing a "free" game...I mean beta and didn't think to or decide to pre-order till close of the beta program its all Biowares fault you are specifically being slighted, being a guild leader and all, from getting access within the first 2 days. Wow self important much? 2.) Yes you were playing the launch client during beta and it is identical to the client used right now...flawed, buggy, unfinished /end sarcasm. What you obviously don't understand is that there were several clients being tested and worked on but we never saw a finished client in beta. Even those that tested after Thanksgiving in the "Launch beta" client (devs even came out and said it wasn't the final client the closing days). There were a couple different testing groups...the general testers, weekend testers, and a special invite group that worked on the candidate clients of the beta clients. In house they were using a different client that would eventually be the launch one....a master client if you will. So far here in early access the client is very stable and bugs that plagued most of the beta clients have been resolved. Graphics are sharper, game play is smoother. MMO's are never "finished". Sour grapes is what this thread is. Waaaaa I didn't pre-order and a guild leader and now I can't play with my guild mates. What makes you more special than others that pre-ordered before you and run guilds? You admitted yourself that you played beta but didn't bother to pre-order till later. Get up from your computer, go to the bathroom. Look into the mirror and slap yourself. The person in the mirror is the only one you have to blame.

Kiry Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I had a hard time sympathizing because it appears the post is mostly about inability to multitask?
