Azaranth Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This is the smoothest MMO launch I've been a part of. No discernible server lag (33ms here), relatively insignificant bugs, and both the server and website are running smoothly. I guess we'll see how things look at prime time tonight. Keep it up BioWare, GJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outbreakz Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Its an illusion, they only invited the people who preordered in July (And not even all of them) That is why you are not getting lag, there are only like 120,000 players online.

That's the point of inviting in waves right? By the time the next 200k are online, I'll be on a different planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzappy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I'm glad to hear that, and hopefully with the staggered early access they will it under control, so the servers will continue to be as smooth as you say Lookibng forward for my invite, that hopefully will come sometime today or tomorrow, although I am leaning more and more towards tomorrow Edited December 13, 2011 by mrzappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azaranth Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Your 'experience' is going 'so well' because there is barely anyone playing. So you think they'd be better off giving simultaneous access too everyone, and having massive server instability? Obviously the servers are stable because they're gradually opening up Early Access. It was the right call, and everyone will be happier for it if it means they root out server problems before they become a crisis.

With a server crash, no one gets to play. With gradual access, more and more people get to play every few hours? Seems like a large difference to me.

It was the right call, and everyone will be happier for it if it means they root out server problems before they become a crisis. Of course you think its the right call, because you're IN GAME. I was apart of multiple beta's even the mass stress test, they're playing it too safe. Don't talk down to me like I don't know the point of staggering. We had more people in the zones during beta and it was running FINE. For some reason they forget this is an MMO, and SHOCKER people might get bunched up. Im not upset about waiting, im upset at how sissy they're taking this. Edited December 13, 2011 by Liberate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a large difference to me. So you're going on about low latency and at the same time you know it's only because of small number of players? Logic fail. Wait for full launch, and if latency will be just as low than you can make a thread about a good launch that actually makes sense. Right now it's just defeating the purpose Edited December 13, 2011 by Kozor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPD Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 They're doing an awesome job alienating the er... building the community.

WatchTheGrass Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Man if feels good to be a day one pre-orderer Man it feels bad to be a 12th of December 2011 pre-orderer. I usually wait until a few weeks before release to read up about a game, stops me from hyping myself up months/years ahead of time. First time this habit has ever shot me in the foot. Ah well, got Tribes:Ascend to play until a certain magical email decides to grace my inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
