    Isn't right that all.

    EU Primetime has already started and most EU servers are still on Low and Medium population. Only a handful are Full. And that is still with low caps, to spread people out.

    Only 4 waves gotta be a joke. What were the Beta stress weekends for then? When they had a ton more people playing without problems.

    They are way way too cautious right now and it's only pissing off a lot of people.

    I think people are rather faced with some server queues, then see the waves of invite stop after just 4 and then see the server status page with still a ton servers on low and med population. That is only going to angry people the more.

    I don't mind, as I can do plenty of other stuff while waiting for my invite.... it's just an observation.

     

    EDIT: Seems like the US servers are much more populated than the EU servers. So it looks like they are inviting way too little EU players. :-(

    They are being caucious, for the first 2 days for sure, early access was supposed to be the 15th. After the 15th they will probably start sending like 8waves or more a day, dont really care i'm pacient.

    Guess the beta stress test failed? :)

    Caucious concerning the servers populations, if they start seing some overfull ,they can lock them and only alowing people that are guild associated to enter those, the rest can choose from the emptyer servers

    Exactly!! Bottom line is that Beta was terrible-and yes I Beta tested for several months. I don't mean the quality of the game either. What I mean is that they did not allow themselves proper time to test. That is why they are doing this so slowly, they know they screwed up and they don't want to show their guilt in  the matter.

    It'll be a gaggle-**** in the end with guilds having to change servers due to population issues and such last second. Mine already bailed on what their guild tool gave us.

    Either way better do it this way, i will only be disapointed if they wont step up the pace after the 15th, but i'm beting my money the first 2 days will be slower.

    Is the Code I received from Amazon the same I need to use to active my subscription? Because it is saying the code has already been used.

  • ikarrianikarrian Member Posts: 122

    I was in beta myself for 11 months and I would have to agree with your statement.  To much down time in between builds which translated to short testing periods and  very few carry over beta toons to fully test out the high level content. On the flip side it was probably the only beta I've been in where I have been exposed to a lot of different builds.

    The number of waves is immaterial.  Its the scope of the waves thats important.  In fact if they only had 1 wave today it could be more than enough if it encompassed a large timeframe or large number of people or they could have 30 waves with each only including 2 hour increments of registration dates.  This focus on how many waves is a red herring.  The true question is what time frames these waves include.

    That's when I preordered and redeemed too.  I just wasn't ready to commit to SW:TOR until I got to test it out.  I've also been hoping D3 or GW2 would have an announced release date.

     

    I'm not a hardcore gamer so I can wait, but it better not only be a one day head start.  I'm really hoping for friday or saturday.

    I have no idea how they are doing things other than what they have told us.

    However just to throw something out there having just had a look at the server status maybe 4 waves is everyone cos does not seem to be an amazing amount of room left for people tomorrow.

    Just a wild hopeful thought, lets at least think positive and not start throwing furniture out the window just yet :)

    Time for me to close my email, turn out the lights and sit in my mother's cold basement alone with a bottle of mind rotter whisky a Leonard Cohen record and a loaded revolver.

     

    If I don't make it to the first wave next morning I'll let you have my pre-order code if you tell Jesus I was a generous soul!

    Tomorrow they will open up more servers for the next 4 waves, pretty sure that was stated somewhere.

    I'm afraid they will not. Because of their guild placement they had to have all servers for early access available on day 1 so that people could get into the server their guild was assigned to.

    I think they'll only open up new servers for launch day.

    EDIT: It's ofc possible that they will open servers only for those pre-orderers who aren't in a guild, but would they want to to create such different populations for their servers intentionally? /EDIT

    The amount of premade guilds is just an extremely small percentage of the overall population.
