MortisMortavius Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Originally Posted by Kinegos This isn't a troll, and isn't exactly QQ although there is some of that involved. I just want to put it down for the record that the way this early access program has been implemented is truly one of the most poorly conceived ideas that I've ever personally encountered in over 25 years of playing video games. 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. ^^ THAT Because I couldn't find the original post to quote ...

macabdul Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 If I cancel my preorder (I'm giving them another day to sort this stuff out) then it's to prove a point. The communication of all this was terrible. Telling people extremely late that it would be staggered, never giving us a general date for our waves, etc. The whole thing seems very haphazard. And Origin has been up and down for the past several hours on top of all that. If I cancel my preorder, it will be to say "I like your game, but your release was ****. I'm not afraid to put my money where my mouth is. You do something this stupid again and I'm gone, no matter how much I like your game." I loled at this guy. Go on then, actually put your money where your whinney mouth is and cancel. No loss to a single person but you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joltmar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Whats funny is this and I'm sure its been said a lot to day Pre-launch was to start on the 15th ... So you could get up to 5 days early Bioware/ea IS being nice and starting it two days early so to get more people funneled in People crying and what not over not getting into the pre-launch yet needs to stop Why? see above, Bioware/Ea didn't need to start early and could have started it on the 15th like they should have.. and make even more people butthurt. So you all getting rid of your pre-orders and what not.. your just being stupid Edited December 13, 2011 by joltmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redru Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This 'Launch' reminds me of a specific Southpark Episode. Erin Cartman with his amusment park. Only 2 people allowed in... sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameirus Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 why would you cancel now? lol your only one customer you must understand how little difference this will make to BW. you waited since august and now rage so hard that you cant wait an extra day or two? makes a ton of sense...lol And thats why you wont do well in business. One customer is important. We are all 1 customer, we all matter, if one person is on teh forums complaining, there are likely 10 out there not complaing but feeling the same way. No company should ever get complacent about customers, no matter how many they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catierina Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Five waves in a day seems kinda low, I was kinda enjoying the waves going out and excitement of who would be next. It's gonna be really boring waiting for them to start up again tomorrow. this T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedicrusade Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Quite right. November/december preorders get to play after the new year. Oh maybe this is why they dont have a grace period... cause it doesnt matter when you get your box cause you wont get to access the game anyways.... Well played Bioware... well played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwtampaguy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 All you people need to stop crying like a bunch of baby's. The swtor website says even today you MAY get to play 5 days early. Its 7 days now so you got 2 more days to start your wine. Also the key word us "MAY" that means you will either get in 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 day early. There was no promise by ea or bioware that everybody would get in 5 days early. So just give it a rest and chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AramasFett Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Congratulations Bioware, you did it wrong, and.... Son i am dissapoint. OP is a.... Well you know where i'm going with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stantp Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Why couldn't they just have given us our start dates last weekend or something. THis is pathetic. Each day i don't know if i'm going to get in. And we just have to wait on the crums you give us. We're not your slaves BIOWARE!!!!!!! Correct: nobody is forcing you to buy the game, genius. It's all voluntary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
