It's almost a silly as the swear filter. I'm an adult, I do not need molly coddling to that level.

Obvious troll is obvious, obviously.

Just a heads-up about the head-start....heh

Apparently it begins on the 29th for US and EU and should be accessible for us (us in the EU, not us as in US..) as of 6pm GMT.

As regards retail release EU release is supposed to be the 5th and US the 2nd but it seems likely if you bought a digital version you'll be able to play through from the headstart and get your retail code same as the US peeps, so won't have to wait three days for the EU official release date.

As to why EU retail is set for the 5th instead of the 2nd, don't ask, apparently it's something to do with EU titles releasing on a Friday...which im not convinced is right.

USS Idaho would be acceptable, surely? It's a place name...

Sounds about right, a few years ago (don't know if it still occurs) manufacturers/distributors split down product by days of the week, along the lines of -

Mondays: DVD's are released
Tuesdays: CD's
Wednesdays: Games
Thursdays: VHS Videos
Fridays: Fleshlights

It was something like that anyway - it was down to the major national distributors only shipping certain items on certain days.

It kind of like movies are always released in the cinema on Fridays in the UK, except these days you get 'advanced' screening showing on Thurdays - but you never get advanced screenings on a Tuesday or a Sunday - it's the same kinda principal.

 

[Talyn]

USS Idaho would be acceptable, surely? It's a place name...

And that was my thinking too... I might have name a ship after where I used to live - USS Lickey Hills. (It's near Bromsgrove for those that care!)

Or maybe USS Sheepscombe (Near Stroud). That should get the censors out and worrying!

 

[Ctuchik]

USS Idaho would be acceptable, surely? It's a place name...

yes, Idaho would have been acceptable, idaHOE on the other hand isnt.... HOE being slang for whore in the states and all....

but tbh, i didint even bother to see if Idaho was available, i much rather prefered Idahoe

that is the exact reason.... you will have the exact same problem on every US made MMO. they release a few days earlier in the US then in the EU because the way that the market is regulated for certain things to come out on certain days.

Has been this way for as long as I remember, you get round it with digital purchases, but if you want the actual thing you got to wait.

That means i probably be waiting till about July for Amazon to sort their act out as normal

 

[Ch3tan]

UK games release dates are usually a friday. This makes it easier for retailers to change their charts etc. DVD/CD are mondays.

 

[Tallen]

Aha

 

[Talyn]

Well, it's 5.5 hours till kick off.

I'll be home from work just in time for the servers to open, although I am (as always with launch day) expecting a clusterfuck of login servers falling over and not being able to get in until tomorrow morning, even though there's a teeny tiny part of me that is hopeful...

hopefully it wont be too bad due to the server upgrades they were forced to do in open beta. That "should" make it easier to log in.

Not sure when i be able to get on, hoping it about 1hr after tehy open. Need to sort out the flat for the parents coming up at the weekend for the "wedding discussion"... even though I got it basically all planned already and just need them to hand over money when i ask

 

[inactionman]

Lol. Surprise surprise, not working at opening time. Glad I'm cooking my dinner at the mo!

 

[Ctuchik]

havent been able to patch for 2 days now

it starts and at 2% it just stalls. and now i cant even get past the auth server at the launcher.

happy i have mass effect 2 to keep me company...

 

[Corran]

is it not?

i got on at 17:50 gmt and not had a prob

 

[Ch3tan]

Really? It's been working fine for me guys, A little slow to create a char, but fine since about 6.10pm for me.

 

[inactionman]

Get a message in the launcher that says "Unable to authenticate". Plus the forums seem to be in meltdown!

 

[Cyradix]

Disconnected after the initial mission and stuck at "connecting to the account server" ever since...

 

[Ch3tan]

Did the first mission, got bored at the prospect of doing them all again in a few days when I re-roll anyway, logged off.

 

[inactionman]

Lol, finally got in, and can't claim my lifetime rewards. I'll wait a bit and play ME2 until then!

 

[Mabs]

you cant get benefits of stuff till its actually live afaik ? so its, er, 2nd feb? for codes

im on as ..wait for it... @mabs.. if anyone wants to poke me feel free

 

[inactionman]

Only for retail stuff. Lifetime is supposed to be there from headstart.

 

[Talyn]

I caved, got the lifetime. I figured my borg hadn't appeared cause I bought it about 2 hours after headstart launch.

I'll give it 24 hours just in case. According to the flaming hell hole that are Cryptic forums that Lifers who bought a few days ago are missing the borg. At least we all managed to log and the servers didn't fall over. First launch I've done where I could get in withing the first 5 mins. For that I'm happy, the borg can wait!

The rest of the stuff is due on the 2nd, yes.
