At this rate we will be lucky to get any head start play time at all, i just hope this shit is sorted before the official launch.

At present they didn't put the resources required for the number of players that had access to Head Start it's that simple and tbh it's fucking disgusting and annoying.

SWTOR for all it's issues had a smooth launch, sure the first 20mins were a bit touch and go but all things considered it was a smooth launch and i am pretty sure they had more numbers hammering their login servers but the difference is they put the resources in place to deal with it.

The Secret World had one of the smoothest MMO launches i can remember sure the numbers they had for the head start were probably less BUT they put the resources in place to deal with whatever they had coming.

This is just a complete and utter joke and it feels like we are going back 7 years.

omg Far Shiverpeak is full

omg Far Shiverpeak is full

Just wait and it will be back again, it's to make sure that people also choose other servers

 

[svartalf]

omg Far Shiverpeak is full

I'm guessing this is an especially low headstart cap/warning?

 

[Madmaxx]

Sorry you didnt get any play time Aada but people like me seem to have played 6am-12pm..then 2-3pm till 6pm/present, I'm level12/13 and people are way ahead of me lol 15-20 so not everyone was affected all day I suppose.

 

[Aada]

I got play time once they said they had switched the login servers back on twitter, but still fail launch all round tbfh.

They knew the exact numbers but they didn't prepare, if it's just today that is effected it won't be so bad but if the official launch is the same then by god they will feel a shit storm from players.

Also it's funny how only Europe was effected which kinda says where their priorities are.

 

[Aada]

They have crafted an outstanding game though once you can play it

 

[Punishment]

Gah off till wednesday and just realised game is only out on tuesday

Can't download digital version as my net is crap

 

[Nate]

Do you have to buy the game to download the client?

 

[Fast]

Not managed to login all day. Keep getting Error code 9 as do many others according to FB. ><

 

[Mabs]

Do you have to buy the game to download the client?

dont think so, you can patch the launcher without actually logging in

 

[Aada]

On your 1MB connection i recommend buying the boxed version

 

[Madmaxx]

man I found all the points of interests/ vistas etc etc in the city earlier that was ok, but then I tried to do the next area the lvl1-15 sylvari woods; and I've only just finished getting 100% its taken all day lol. lvl15 and jeweller36 and leatherworker25, nice having +40% crit chance with the items though

 

[Mauness]

Thats abit excessive tbh, good thing i am getting a friend to copy the updated client for me which will cut that out almost completely

 

[Fefner]

omg Far Shiverpeak is full

It was always going to be full, an estimated 7k players were heading there

 

[cog]

Idk if anyone I know is there, but I rolled a mesmer on Ruins of Surmia, named Cogsy! Hit me up if anyone else is there (im totally new to the game xd)

 

[Aada]

Nobody likes you.. go away.

 

[Madmaxx]

9:23 and I got in and online first try, maybe they fixed their shit for real this time.

 

[AngelHeal]

Why u think they give people a 3 day headstart, they know people who prepurchased will keep playing .. even though they face problems..

On launching day, most people have settled, and they can say... we had a smooth launching ^^

not really, they do the boxed versions from the Gold, and especially with MMOs, that would of been 2 months ago, before loads of beta stuff

 

[Turamber]

It's very pretty. Playing as the sylvan race and it's sure novel running around with a bright purple wooden character. The combo system on the thief seems a bit hit and miss and I don't really have much of a clue what I'm doing, but it is fun.

 

[Mauness]

Im utterly lost on crafting in this, gonna have to do some reading up it seems lol

 

[Turamber]

Urgh, community are horrible.

 

[Aada]

The way point system in this game is one of the best ideas for an MMO in a long time.

 

[Everz]

Urgh, community are horrible.

It's a F2P what did you expect?

It'll be worse, GW1 was an awful community.
