This thread is strong with the whine.

Athene, Swifty, and Towliee are getting in the FIRST WAVES. The first two did not pre order, and towliee is noted saying he pre ordered in OCTOBER.

 

These guys are internet streamers, and they get to jump the line?

Be Jealous! Rage! You are not worthy of an early invite.

I'll give up my early access to get this thread locked lol....

 

Hey, thats looser talk right there.

At this point the worst thing they could do is start letting more waves in today. It would just signal the whiners that if they want something, scream about it long enough and the company will give in.

 

I'd like to play, but I didn't get an invite yet. Guess I'll spend some more quality time with my wife tonight.

i saw it

 

Me too, there's plenty of stuff you can hide in this thread though.

Congratulations on being the first person ever up on my ignore list Rakashua.

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. !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

BUMP because this is so true ...

Looooooool this thread and the previous one is hilarious. People need to chill out!

 

Playing SWTOR is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT. FFS....

 

Technically it's a service - one that we will pay for IF we determine it's worth it. Many other games tried to live up to the expectation and failed (AoC, Aion, Rift to name a few). I hope they do a better job than this day 1, because I for one am disappointed.

This thread is growing so fast it's going to become self aware

I LOVE STAR WARS

 

 

but not cheesecake.

-What exactly is every one doing there right now?

-Are you the only person actually doing anything?

-Why does your work day end at 1:00 PST?

-Why can't you just let wave go until EVERYONE in?

Yes....yes you are.....I wonder how long this can possibly go on for? Days?

 

Hmm... I have all the time in the world

the question is... do you?

Thanks BW you forcing me to go home today after work and log into WoW instead of SWTOR, thanks.....

I sure hope bw/ea can do better then this. if they really wanted to do a release like this they should have at least sent you an email telling you what day you should expect an invite. I hope they don't ruin a game that has so much potential like they are ruining its release.

THIS SAYS IT ALL!! COPY AND PASTE SO THEY GET THE MESSAGE!

Tarapìa tapiòco! Prematurata la supercazzola, o scherziamo?

Prego?

No, mi permetta. No, io... scusi, noi siamo in quattro. Come se fosse antani anche per lei soltanto in due, oppure in quattro anche scribài con cofandina? Come antifurto, per esempio.

Ma che antifurto, mi faccia il piacere! Questi signori qui stavano sonando loro. 'Un s'intrometta!

No, aspetti, mi porga l'indice; ecco lo alzi così... guardi, guardi, guardi. Lo vede il dito? Lo vede che stuzzica? Che prematura anche? Ma allora io le potrei dire, anche con il rispetto per l'autorità, che anche soltanto le due cose come vice-sindaco, capisce?

Vicesindaco? Basta 'osì, mi seguano al commissariato, prego!

No, no, no, attenzione! Noo! Pàstene soppaltate secondo l'articolo 12, abbia pazienza, sennò posterdati, per due, anche un pochino antani in prefettura...

...senza contare che la supercazzola prematurata ha perso i contatti col tarapìa tapiòco.

 

ahhhhh wat?
