3.0 Launch Predictions

All I see is a lot of red vines and beer.. lots and lots of beer... and red vines.

I foresee a lot of topics on the forums from people who took the week off work, complaining to SE that they took the week off work and they can't even login.

I foresee...

People clearing all the dungeons on the first day. -> People farming/speedrunning them on the second day and telling people to skip cutscenes

It's what actually happened at ARR release...I kid you not. I was among the first wave of people clearing dungeons. Up until the very last (praetorium or CM? I forgot which is the last one), because it was 4 am in the morning by the time I got there. And queueing up took ages because a very small % of people was to that point.

Next day...

Other tank: "Please skip cutscenes, you can view them in the inn."
Me: "...Are you fucking kidding me..."

I'm still very salty about that experience. And I'm afraid it will happen again.

Luckily since raid content is not being released week of launch, but two weeks later, those people should, but probably won't be, more patient and take a slower pace this time around. No promises, but we can hope.

Sadly I foresee I will be one of them. I am trying to work out a deal with my office where I can take the week off but come in to work in case I can't actually play to save my holiday.

This line of thinking is so cute i want to wrap it up in a blanket and hug it forever and ever.
I really wish i could be that optimistic :(

A part from a string of error codes and e maintenance

i can see a repeat of early access of 2.0 where we saw many player fighting over a few mobs to kill them for a quests

like other have said the return of the plz skip cutscene people in full force on almost all stages of the heavensward story dungeons

as we all ways see when alexander nm (not going to be a complete pushover) comes out day 1 training group day 2+ must have 100%exp 1 fail = kick crap like on any endgame content

people hitting 60 after day 1 of early access

someone will hit lvl 60 with ast, mec and drk by the end of early access

stupid prices on new stuff on AH because people dont know how price new stuff let
