    Launch is still to happen but it is certainly the worst headstart for 2012.

    It's worth it though so that is all that matters. Launch is on the 28th.
  • Preacher26Preacher26 Member UncommonPosts: 381

    I logged in @ 12:00am EST (3 hours prior to official head start) and the game was running very smooth. Played for 3 hours and logged off. I had no issues at all.

    Woke up to get back in and it seems the witch hunt is on. How do people not understand how launches work by now?

    Even your beloved WoW had a ton of downtime at launch.

    People are annoying.

    No. I am an American and I have been trying for over two hours to get in. Now I cannot even connect!!!

    Do you normally just like to make up lies ?

    No authenticator, people already being hacked ? 

    Where and when did this happen? 

    BTW, GW2 has not been released until the 28th.

    Lolipops !

    Technically this is headstart access - NOT launch day.

    I had to do the tutorial quest 20 times before it would complete. It kept sending me back to defend the garrison.

    It's a pity the game didn't live up to the launch.

    since your account was made today am not going to say you are a hater or you got paid to say this (also i wounder howew much)

    but instead am going to ask you this :

    give me thread of all the facts you said then we will see how much they are true

    till now ( EU servers are down) and Anet said they are fixing it, and there is some high ping other then these two if you don't give links then me answer is : NO WAY KHOSY

    anyway just a little P.S : its a head start not launch there is a diffrence

  • IstrebiteIIstrebiteI Member Posts: 266
    Oh, well, at least i'm relieved its not the "who cares about EU" attitude we often get with big companies that reside in US. Not that i'm happy that our fellow players from US cant play, i just hate it when EU is discarded as unimportant and only US is cared about...
  • OziiusOziius Member UncommonPosts: 1,406

    So this is what pisses me right off. When TOR or TSW has a "head start" and has issues, people say that it's actually a failed launch, as early access is basically a staggered opening. When gw2, does it, they defend it saying that it's not a launch...  so no one should be bitching... gotta love double standards.

     -1 for first post on new account

    -1 for inaccurate information (its headstart, not launch mate)

    -1 mentioning Blizzard product

    -1 posting your opinion as fact

    -1 people getting hacked is typically the user's issue/cause

    sorry mate, you're in the red.  Patience is a virtue.  This happens all the time with mmo launches (as in it is common, exceptions do exist).

    Cheers!

    People honestly can't be this dense about this right now...

    It'll be the worst launch ever until the next launch of another MMO. Let's say Planetside 2 is next in line for worst launch ever...

    Current champion is GW2.. Let's go.

    Um...nope. It's just a highly anticipated MMO launch. And diable and GW2 are a little different. Diablo is a ~single player game~, so there should be no reason as to why I can't just play offline. 

    Let me put it this way, GW2 is one of the most anticipated MMOs in recent years. The fact is no hardware on earth can withstand the force of the amount of players hammering GW2 servers.

    I think it is hilarious how many people fall for the marketing gimmick of headstart =/= launch. 
  • azmundaiazmundai Member UncommonPosts: 1,419

    yes .. of the 2 AAA mmos that have released this year, this is the more broken start, also the more popular (crowded) start.

    look im not defending this crap .. but .. wait .. what was your point again?

    LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity.
    I am, usually on the sandbox .. more "hardcore" side of things, but I also do just want to have fun. So lighten up already :)

    Because guild wars 2 is a good game and the other two are rubbish, in my opinion, plus you are missing out on no game time because there is no sub.

  • GorillaGorilla Member UncommonPosts: 2,235

    Way to early to say. How long it takes to fix things obviously factors into it.

     

    BTW Some of the items on your list are not true. Anet have certainly not been silent about it for example.

    EU folks LISTEN..

    WE ARE ALL LOCKED OUT!!!!

    It's not always about Europe when it comes to getting screwed over on MMO launches..

    My goodness man..
