    The first hours of TSW were unplayable until people started spreading out.

    To be fair I know it will clear up, but TSW did not have issues like this.

     

     

    And had like 10 % of GW2 traffic ? Not trying to defend the game, just pointing out the facts. The game will get a fair share of critiscm from me on Monday when the things calm down.

    Blind,
    Organizing the tantrum is a good idea, think it through.
    You didn't really expect no issues, did you?

    GW2 launch failure? Nonsense! I've been playing without a problem as soon as I transfered from Jade Quarry to Crystal Desert. No lag and no disconnects.

    Edit: now I switched back to Jade Quarry and no lag and no disconnects. Forget the haters.

    People calm down. Give it some time. In 1 week all this won't matter for you anyway.

    Can't log in (EU) from Germany.

    3 hours ago it was working so I guess I will just have to wait until the server zerging has stopped.

    Not going to score the game on this, but so far ... extremely bad of course. Going back to The Secret World (which had a 10/10 launch) for a while, but itching to try GW2 ( though I don't think I will like the cartoony "little mouse characters" things, but we'll see). I loved gw1 to bits, but have a bad feeling about gw2 - especially now after tsw launch.

    Drama much?

     

    A company can not anticipate these issues with hundreds of thousands of players trying to play at the same time.  No amount of stress test will catch all issues so give them a break its been a few hours and everyone knows the old addage "you never play on patch day" pertains to launches as well.

     

    Hell Ive been rolled back at least 4 times now and one of the times I lost 3 levels but I didnt bitch I jsut went about repeating the same content, its the price we pay for paying on launch day.

    You basically compare Guild Wars 2 and TSW without looking at the player-base.

    I had the same issues with TSW, half of the quests in kingsmouth and savage coast did not work.  And I didnt bitch there either.

    Well I'd rather have 50% of the game working rather than 0% like now.

    My dude, are you serious? TSW had and still has broken quests. TSW had and still has broken chat. TSW had and still has broken equipment manager.

    GW2's launch completely owns TSW's launch. There was some lag and some connection issues, 3 hours before servers we suppose to go online. Now everything is working perfectly. Even Jade Quarry, which was the laggiest server of the all, is working just fine.

    I'm sorry that your favorite game failed but if you're going to hate, at least try a bit harder. This is not even launch, bro. It's a head start and it already functions better than TSW.

    My dude, TSW launch was ok and as I hear GW2 is failing in this department big time. Hate TSW as much as you like but it doesn't make GW2 any better.

    Can't login - not even a sniff of getting past login screen.

    Whole game is fail.. Played it for few hours and complety reminds me on AION just different graphic. Everything moves/cast almost that same. Why I'm even surprised when its again from ncsoft

    I've yet to have any issue prevent me from playing. Chat works fine. Events work fine. Personal Story works fine. 

    In fact, aside from trouble initially logging in (It takes 2 or 3 tries usually) everything is going perfectly fine for me.

    First, let's make sure that we understand that this is not launch. This is a head start. Second of all, the lag happened for the first 30 or so minutes of the servers being up and only on a few really popular servers. Servers that were brought up 3 hours before they were suppose to, mind you.

    launch failure? this is early start.

    i learnt my lesson on swtor early start lol. launch is a few days away. 

    launch failure is like getting a cartrige game e.g super mario 64 and it not getting past the stretch the mario face screen.

    Yes, because all the classes in Aion can cast while moving. Troll more.

    Funny because I had absolutely no issues playing the game since midnight EST, until about now, my dude. There was some lag at the start, for about 30 minutes on a few really popular server but besides that, the game ran flawlessly, my dude.

    On the bright side, at least all of the quests and the chat works. My dude.

    Well, they were right, the stress tests weren't like this at all.  Yuk yuk yuk.

     

    Seriously though, it's only been several hours.  Let's be reasonable and see how things look like on the actual launch day.  If they can't sort things out for that then they'll be big problems.

  • skepticalskeptical Member Posts: 357
    Things were just fine last night. Now I get dc'd and can't log back in...fail. Oh well, this is nothing new, every MMO launch day sucks anyway. Hopefully they fix this mess soon.

    has TSW EVER got their chat system to work?

    Give them time folks, all the stress tests in the world couldn't have prepared their hardware for this kind of barrage.  Just in my small circle of friends, I know 5 people that bought the game last night.  They're being nuked right now beyond what they even anticipated.  Be patient folks.

    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.
