Itathor Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 wrong again. i have spent more time laughing at this and any other thread associated with this staggered invite process for the following reasons 1) i and many other testers said this was a bad idea back when we tested it. we told BW dont expect any free passes fro a paying public, they didnt listen. Lo and behold here we are 2) the number of fanboi posts that read more or less along the lines of this game is great (when this game refers to the 1st 10 levels they got to experience in open beta), or BW knows what they are doing (when BW hasnt released an MMO title before 3) the simple fact that you think my rebutle was nerrage tells me that you haven read any of the posts about this subject, there is some glorious nerd rage to be had I never said yours was a nerdrage, i said if that crap happens there will be, you misunderstood my point.Sorry if it wasn't clear to you.

jajpilar Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I pre-ordered in November. I knew perfectly well odds of me getting more than 1 day were slim. If I had 2 days early I'd be happy. Stopping at 3pm in the current condition and then running that horrible chat session where they were pitched the most obvious self pandering questions is just a slap in the face. That kind of crap can be posted in an FAQ on the website. They should have used the chat to answer questions that were actually being discussed on the forum. I doubt anyone was thinking.... Those servers shouldn't be near capacity once the game actually launches - what does capacity and other people doing exploits have anything to do with it? How do you know they're abusing exploits if you're not in there for early access? I understand being frustrated that they could have done more invites - but they didn't. It's not that big of a deal, I mean it really isn't. good post^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HangmanBones Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 i have a question for you and i was wondering just as the devils advocate what is going to happen after servers come down for maintenance/patching .. bottom line sooner or later it come to crunch time unless they plan on sending out email to tell everyone when they will be able to log in again <that will make paying people happy> exactly, sundays are usually bad in mmos, when a server crashes on a sunday and everyone has to re-log in, what are the fanbois gonna do then? the exact same thing as us ************ at bw for not being prepared to handle the real stress of running the game. you can't get the real game running by artificially handicapping yourself from having the servers close to their full levels. not some ******** full level on day 1 of the game launch.

Vowe Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It sad all those millions of dollars put to waste. I think it pretty safe to say Bioware is done. No one in their right mind is going to buy this game or mass effect 3 after hearing how barely anyone got into this launch; not to mention how secretive the company has been about everything. I have to say “up to five days” is some pretty sneaky underhanded marketing. It's not a launch. It's early access. The millions were hardly wasted, i played beta and the game is awesome. Bioware is far from done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah bro you're correct, people are raging so hard they didn't get into an early access that has been known it was working this way for months, extended to benefit us and knowing you pre-ordered late it's your own damn fault you're mad. They market like that as long as people are stupid enough to believe it. If people were smart, they would have to actually come up with intelligent ways to market their product instead of just fooling everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowwinds Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 they only bumped it up to 7 days to make up for the fiasco about the no grace period and people getting worked up from not being able to get the game till possibly the 22nd as a pre order. the EGA was planned supposedly though and not sure about the logistics and how it work at this time. Not sure what any reason was, but still insist on them being honest when you run into trouble no matter what you do. All I have hear from people is what the did to be able to play. This does not effect me other then my friends. I lose nothing no matter what happens when I start. Just being honest, people would have not taken off work. They would not have been spending all day at the computer. They knew more then you think from beta alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajpilar Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 you do know that this is a PRE LAUNCH and that they extended it two days ...... and its really just a bonus. official launch day is dec 20th and thats when 90% of the pops are expected to join the servers. so be thankful your going to get a jump start. may not be a whole week ... may only be a day or two but still thats a day or two you get to play before 90% of the rest of the players. I shouldn't have to feel lucky to get something that I paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senatsu Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) they're done not cause of this launch but just general bad games. Mass Effect 3 story was completely leaked...and the general consensus is that its TERRIBLE I'm as giddy about ME3 as a 6 year old on Christmas Eve. We all knew how Shepard's story would end, just like we did with the Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars etc. That doesn't make the story terrible, and from what I've heard, people that have tried it loves it. If someone were to tell you the plot of a movie, would you say that movie is crap because of how someone told it to you? No, you wouldn't. You would watch the movie and see for yourself how they made the plot. Same with ME3. Just because the story was leaked, doesn't mean you can judge the entire game based on what people tell you the plot is.

enigmacypher Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 funny thing is i still say what happens after s server reset and everyone is paying for the game (all players wait till you get email to log in again?) not sure what mass effect 3 is like never played any of them but this could be a painful year as for working over christmas it sucks BUT the game needs to be monitored 24/7 (ask cryptic with their regular server crashes and then no one around to fix it.. cryptic has changed ownership 3 times to my knowledge) i hope BW gets it together as i loved most of their earlier titles but this years end is a mess it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithLordChum Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 That's nice dear. Tell me, launched any good MMOs lately? Built a server farm? Hell, made a hangman game for your computer? Gamers are under this mistaken impression that playing video games (or even worse, playing beta) gives them insight into the video game development process. It's like driving a car all day then assuming you know how to build one. Hell, the way people are talking in here, they're acting like driving a 6 year old Accord keeps them well informed on how Aston Martin builds a car. This is the cave man marveling at fire. Seroiusly...it doesn't matter how many games that person has launched. Its about experience. If tons of games have handled the launch better theres basis to believe that this is a bad launch. If a thousand people cross a street for a first time and only 1 guy falls and turns into a rabbit. You don't say oh man theres something wrong with that street. You say man *** is wrong with that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grescal Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I shouldn't have to feel lucky to get something that I paid for. OMG 5 dollars is so much money for a POSSIBLE 1-7 days of game time if your sore over 5 bucks dont ever go to a casino. would prolly cause you to go on a murderous rampage.

You can read the entire story with dialogue line for line...its not based on what other people tell me what the plot is. And if anyone has told you that they played the game they are lying. ME3 just finished voiced acting, the games not even put together yet. Theres no demo and no beta. Edited December 14, 2011 by SithLordChum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioware is far from done. the only reason BW will be far from done is that like in so many other garbage titles that EA bankrolls, no one will hold BW/EA accountable. all these people screaming bloody murder will be drooling out the sides of thier mouths yelling for bedpans once they get in game. i would venture to guess that less then 10% cancel their subs based on this early access time. people let them selves get treated like crap for another fix.

KhealThar Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I shouldn't have to feel lucky to get something that I paid for. You didn't pay for Early Access. Jesus Christ, where are you getting this idea? The 5$ you payed, wasn't an additional cost. It was a down payment to pre-order the game. You're paying 59.99 still. Not 64.99. Every game that is ever released that is AAA is 59.99 in todays world. Why would you expect a lower price? I can't believe the amount of people that think they are PAYING for Early access, You're paying for the game. The Early Access is just a marketing ploy to get you to pre-order. even with your logic I think its pretty sick to take advantage of poor people who dont have access to good education Education has nothing to do with common sense. If you can't take the time to read between the lines, it's your own fault. This happens in marketing everywhere, welcome to the real world gentlemen.

monstrado Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi - I had a quick question regarding the way early access invitations are sent. I was under the impression that early access was given based on the date of order. The reason I am asking is because I pre-ordered the game (end entered the code) on 08/16/2011 and I have not received an invite. Furthermore, my friend received his invite but he didn't pre-order until about 2 weeks ago...perhaps you are going in the opposite order by accident? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
