Bah, stuck in position 111. May go back to playing ME2.

They'd better have a huge server upgrade for the launch on tuesday or it will be epic fall.

Shame that, had a good go earlier before I went out with no issues again. I'd almost say this was the best MMORPG launch I ever had any part of. Bit disappointed that I can't blow up some stuff until another day but hey, there is always another day!

the loading screens are taking up to 5 minutes at the moment.

yeah but when that server not responding error comes up your not connected at all anymore. it tries to reconnect again but every so often it wont manage.

the game basically disconnect and reconnect you everytime you change zone, thats why you get all that "xxx has logged off" and "xxx has logged on" spam from your friends list.

yeah thats what i did, finding the headstart preorder to be a massive waste of money...

Your opinion, the only other HS and MMO that I have played was WAR, and this is a far far smoother launch. I've played a fair bit over the last few days, have not had to wait very long to get on, and have not been logged off, only the planned maintenance stuff has stopped me playing.

How is it a waste of money for the pre-order btw? You get an extra 3 days gameplay for no extra money.

because i havent.

i either get in a longass queue or get stuck in a infinite loading screen with server not responding errors or the maplist isnt working so its booting me to the login screen so i have to go through the queue again...

Like I said, how is it a waste of money when pre-ordering costs no more than buying the game tomorrow?

Most of the others here have been in nearly all of yesterday as well as today without issue.... You are either very unlucky or talking total BS.

Loads of kit in the bank ready for new people.

The unplanned downtime is a bit annoying though.

Yeah, I think we should keep the high level stuff in our personal banks for now, and keep the low level stuff for new peeps. I know I've been guilty of selling quite a bit low level stuff not thinking of people that start tomorrow or re-rolls.

I caved and just bought a year's sub, just leave the country code as USA on the STO purchase page, and it does not charge you VAT.

Oh, and the server is back up now.


edit:// d2d still have not supplied the full game key, and the STO website still has no where to register it.

You would think common sense would dictate they let people register this from the start of HS, to save load on their registration server......

Has anybody ordered the Amazon preorder for the borg bridge officer who might want to trade it for a D2D CD key with the trill, Kahn emote etc?

Amazon baswerds cancelled my order due to too much demand :/

Did the lifetime sign up thing on a whim. Not regretting it so far. Having a blast just soloing through the quests.

Made Lt Commander yesterday and got my second ship. I like the mix of ground and space fights. Although I'll admit to be clueless at the moment how I should be spending all the specialisation points to get a better ship. Not found any detailed guides on how the points actually make a difference and by how much.

d2d have not sent me my retail key still, and the account page on d2d still shows the game as pre-order so you cannot access the key :( Fucking shit.

all the space stuff is very fun, the pve and pvp are both good, the ground stuff needs a lot of work. Lots of room in the game for expansion, as we only had federation and Klingon playable races so far.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10 at the moment.

Yeah that's a fair assessment. The ground stuff sucks but the rest of the game is great.

d2d info says the worldwide release is 10ampst today, which is 6pm GMT. So hopefully the HS keys carry on working if not.

Do we know if the keys come in the box, or if they get emailed?

If they're in the box, I'm stuffed until maybe next Monday, due to delivery.

But yes, 'officially' the server(s?) open at 10PST (as per Ch3tan)

aah you see i like the ground bits. its buggy, yes, but it breaks up the spacey bits, i think if it was just either, it would get boring, variety is the spice of life etc :D
