FEEDBACK: I don't even want to play anymore (RE your bad launch)

[DrowsyKitten]

I wanted to give you a view of how your inconsiderate behavior in the last two days has affected your playerbase.

We all logged in Friday morning, excited to play your game, dreaming of leveling up and exploring content with our friends. Instead, we all hit the bottleneck. People would occasionally get through, while the majority stayed behind, caught in endless spam of hope and despair. By the time the rest of us got through this morning our friends were so far ahead there is no hope catching up until we're all 70. What should have been an exciting release ended up strongly dividing communities. Splitting friends, regardless of the technical reason, is so massively jerky that I can't even fathom how you thought it was ok.

I am disgusted to the extreme by your treatment of your playerbase and your complete lack of response yesterday. If you cared at all about your player base you would have provided updates and encouragement, not silence.

First world problems.

Yaaawn. Pick your toys up and put them back in your pram.

Did someone call the waaambulance

you absolutely did not play any mmorpgs if you cannot think of a single mmo who had these issues at the beginning of any launch so i'm going to call you out on that

I am not sure any MMO has ever had this particular problem. This is not a server stability issue. This is a design gate issue. Most MMOs are not gated the way this game is. Even in 11 you could explore 3/4s of an expansion except for the worse one ever CoP. Co-op game might have had this issue though because you are just lobby and instance. So basically 14 is an open world lobby and instance with out the planning.

Okay, bye then!

One more spot for those who know that MMORPG and expansion early access can be rocky, and entertain logic instead of silly knee-jerk reactions. Thank you.

I don't think anyone is trying to silence you, but when you come around talking as if you speak for everyone, you're naturally going to attract criticism for your own actions.

SE may have made mistakes in this launch, but they're trying their best, and that to you qualifies as extremely poor treatment to the playerbase. You have no basis for what you speak of, and so you've simply made a heartfelt post containing nothing but your own negative feelings.

The problem is the mistakes are so obvious. They have been embolden by the defense of single player instances and gating of story. If people hadn't thought they were so FFFFNNN awesome, maybe we wouldn't have had this issue. They are throttling players through 20k at a time. How many players preorder, how many instances run stable, and how many instances are at the start of SB including lvl 60jobs. Simple math that they all have access to.

If something like this is splitting friendships up, can you even call them friends to begin with? Real friends don't fight over stupid stuff like this.
