If i had a time machine, somewhere on my list of things to do would be to stop WoW from ever being created.

What does Activision have to do with anything?

...and a lot of your average user scores are posted by people who are pissed off that there isn't enough content to cater to their 18 hours of playtime a day. Or that their female character has a bubble butt. Or they don't have a personal Wardroid of Annihilation and Awesomeness. The list goes on. People are fickle. I agree that professional gaming journalism is utter crap these days, but I think their opinions are still more legit than your average manbaby who plays MMOs for a living. At least that is my feeling on the topic.

I've often found that for most singleplayer games that my personal feelings mirror the User Score but it's the exact opposite for MMOs. I think it has a lot to do with the typical demographic of MMOs these days...

With pure Immortal tree, Quinn as a companion, and all prototype or better equipment i can solo anything up to Heroic 2s and some Heroic 4s at level 30. Single elites are cake and about the only thing that gives me fits are groups of 4 or more elites. I basically try and keep Quinn focused on the same target as me to keep his threat down and health up (if he's hurt he is healing himself and not me which can be problematic.) I always make sure to use my interrupt on the mob I'm fighting to keep its DPS down and liberal use of enrage so that it works as well as using the Retaliation tree power going that increases my defense for 10s a pop.

What is wrong with you people? Are you mentally challenged?

At the rate they went today i wouldn't be surprised. I preordered at the end of September and i wasn't expecting to get in until Thurs or Fri based on the first day but I'm in now so keep the faith!

Easily the best launch I've seen from the two hours i played immediately after getting my email up until i had to leave for work. The starter areas were appropriately populated and lag was unnoticeable. And there seemed to be some good itemization changes done since the last beta build. I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Half a star off for NOT LETTING ME IN ON THE FIRST WAVE RAGEQQQQQQQQQQMEMEMEMEMEMEWORSTEXPERIENCEOFMYLIFECANCELLINGPREORDERUNFFFFFFUUUU---

Thanks for the thread. I got in today just in the last wave (9/28)! bump

Agreed. This is the easiest game to level of any MMO I have ever played, hands down.

WAT? There were a couple thousand on each of the top PvP servers alone. Stop the lies. Start the truths.

I will be very surprised if everyone who preordered gets in by the 15th.

I don't think the title of the thread is fair to those folks who are 16 or younger but mature enough to relax and wait their turn

The thing is that planning to distribute physical copies of books to a few hundred people who will leave and will discontinue taking up tangibles such as space is completely different to planning the contained and managed release of software over the Internet. And then these tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people will be using up server resources. The planning required needs to be fluid and thus communication will be vague at best. I think Bioware is doing a pretty admirable job and we should be thankful that they extended the early release by two days so they could get past the hump of initial pre-order customers. That said I do agree that the OP had some good points and the post was a worthwhile read unlike most of the complaints about this process thus far. I think he was genuinely trying to offer some productive and constructive criticism. So kudos to him.
