Anatalio Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 OMG I can't even get to the end of the thread because people keep posting! lol Why are people complaining? I forgot to was "D-day" so I am glad I was spared the turmoil of checking my email. I even now have time to update my game client before I get my activation. My gf called me a nerd because when I realized what today was i got excited. Sheesh, after reading her what some of the posts are she now realizes the company i will soon be keeping. Come on people, taking off from work just to play? and then complaining about it? If work was that important to you then maybe you should have stayed and made some bones. You have a day off! Celebrate! Clean the house for the wife, cook her dinner, pick up the kids, do something instead rage on a forum that only a handful of people will even read the page that you posted on. Enough said, Republic scum. . . beware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konosbaby Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 YOU SHOULD BE RELEASING WAVES EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR 24/7 EVENLY BY DATE PRE ORDERED! YOUR MAKING MILLIONS- SHOW A LITTLE EFFORT! kk thx just had to use caps for that one <3 Quote: Originally Posted by Kinegos This isn't a troll, and isn't exactly QQ although there is some of that involved.

I've personally participated in launches of 6 other MMO games, and there is nothing in those experiences that compares to how ridiculous this process is. When you are dealing with a pre-launch even that is only for pre-order customers, after an extensive and massive beta testing period that was a huge success according to nearly all sources involved - it begs the huge question as to what is the limiting factor in the way you have chosen to roll out this game. I personally participated in the beta in a very limited way (not by choice, mind you, I just wasn't lucky enough to get a key) and was only online during the big Thanksgiving weekend test. That test was wonderful - there were a huge number of servers, and a huge population of testers. The game performance was amazing. So, EA/BW - what exactly are you afraid of? The ONLY way this should have been done is to have given ALL pre-orders (perhaps separated only by level of game purchased - i.e. CE customers get 7 days, SE get 5, e.g.) access at exactly the same time. Of course it will overload the servers and queues would ensue and all that - but that's what we all expect. Making your customers wait unknowingly with no idea how long it will be or when to expect an email is just adding insult to injury. A poor alternative would have been to send out emails with a set time and day that your access would be available. I read in the top post how you are monitoring the server performance and are rolling waves based on server performance. Are you seriously saying you have to wonder at this point if your servers can perform up to the task - when you probably still have 90% of the launch day players yet to even be able to play? That is not at all a good message to be sending at the beginning of an MMO franchise. At any rate, I love this game. I love BW. But I truly despise and am sickened by the way you chose to put your customers through so much stress for absolutely no good or justifiable reason. I truly hope you improve, because this is a very very poor way to start out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobudo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Can we just consider Kinegos' repostings spam now? We get it, you guys are upset. I'm sure they expected a small majority of people to over react and I doubt they'll be changing their stance because you can right click and paste a bunch of text. Small and Majority cannot coexist in the same sentence. Go white knight somewhere else, this is RAGEEville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboyy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I am impressed that we get to play a whole two days early, and I understand the need to stay flexible/not let everyone know when they are going to get in, but if you don't know when to expect the early access, it's kind of hard to prepare for it or even utilize it. Especially since I have finals this week. I feel like giving people a date range depending on when they redeemed their pre-order codes would be helpful. that is impressive, except for at the rate they are letting people in theres no way everyone will get in by launch day, so they will end up having to add more servers which they could have just done on day 1, this staggered access is flawed, because the majority of people from the day before will still login to play the next day so theoretically they can only invite an exponentially smaller number of people everyday, and even at the pace of invites of the first day they still can't fit everyone in in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
