Welcome to GW2 forums.

hahahaha, thanks. Now I get it.
Wrong. The've been tweeting like crazy (on all their accounts, not just english)
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
Wouldn't a 2012 launch be worse than a 2004 launch. More people than ever play MMOs (thanks to our beloved WoW), and more people than ever have access to an internet connection.

Keep these threads coming they make for good entertainment while I wait for the servers to come back up!
In all seriousness, no. Stop being stupid. This isn't even a big deal; people just need to grow up a little bit, eh?
I wouldn't call it the worst launch, I played for over 7 hours straight without a hitch, other than the trading post ceasing to work.
Going to get some sleep now. Ya'll have fun, hope the servers come back up/start working soon for you.
How far some haters will go to make a game look bad... it honestly blows my mind.
This is not a game.
Literally EVERYTHING you wrote is false / lies. It's unbelievable how far some haters will go to bash the game. It honestly blows my mind.
Btw are you that guy otinanai with a new account? All of his posts were total garbage and yours are very similar. Was he banned for posting too much garbage?
Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums
You're listening to forum goers who have absolutely no idea what's going on in terms of launch, and you are listening to a few. Right now there is a lot of rage over people not being able to play. (For me, I don't give a crap. It's not like I'm wasting game time or anything)
I'm not defending launch problems and all, but when you look from a technical aspect it's understandable. It's very difficult to replicate launch conditions pre-launch. And yes, head start is launch for those who have already purchased the game. You never know how many players are going to be trying to get in the minute it goes live. The game was doing quite good for a few hours, then it went downhill.
Essentially with every MMO launch, you've got a DDoS attack on the servers. You've got so many people attempting to access the same servers at the same exact time. TSW
Now you've got NA waking up and hammering their servers.
I played for 5 hours last night, sucks they are having issues right now, but I'm sure it'll be back online in a bit...
CALM DOWN.
Considering nowadays the majority of players seems to pay extra to be there early instead of later with mmos, this might aswell be the actual launch.
OP, since i'm playing, can't comment on it, but i will agree on the fact that i'm suprised that these problems are showing up with so many stress tests. I know no amount of testing can prepare fully, but i was seriously shocked wih even that last one right before headstart.
I never really believe some higher degree of problems could be occur. They do have the pre-order numbers after all.
dont know what planet your from but there is nothing wrong with TSW..swtor..i'll give you that one..but you sound more like a troll..i purchased both games..like all games on release they have problems.but to turn round and say TSW is rubbish is a joke.also whenever you fanbois come out of the woodwork to defend tthe very thing you slag off in another mmo i find it depressing..when i say depressing its because of people like you that get a bad reputation community wise.and the game your trying to defend suffers..do me a favour m8..keep these types of comments away from the forums plz.
I've no doubt they will sort it and everyone will soon forget about it when they are enjoying the game.
But as it stands it is really quite piss poor.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
So you're saying this is simply a BWE without a wipe?? Funny, the email I received from ANET said that I was entitled to three days of head start access, not three days of stress testing.
Let's all cut the nonsense.
ANET sold this. It was what they offered. This happened in Beta. Everyone said "But it's Beta" giving ANET a free pass. Now it's happening in "Head Start" and yet again, I have to hear "But it's not a failed Launch" I don't care how you label it. ANET sold access their game for these events and did not deliver.
In fact, Head Start is ONLY 3 days and now one of them is compromised. After Launch, you can just be patient because then it's Launch, the up and down time happens, But that's not why people gave money to ANET before the release. THIS is why people gave money to ANET prior to release. These 3 days.
Personally, I'm not raging about no access, I can be patient. Eventually, the game will sort itself out, But really, It kinda bothers me that just because deep down inside, some people really really want to have this game succeed, they blind themselves to simple truths.
And this one is that ANET took money for something they FAILED to deliver.
That is still FAIL!
