NA down again?

[millsi]

Today I woke up thinking I would try and attempt this infamous Log in boss.

I started the fight only to be one shotted several times by an error 90000 spell.

I decided to take a different approach and made it to phase two of the battle where I was persistently put to sleep by the ridiculously powerful "World is full, please try again when there is an opening spell"...

To my dismay I decided to give it another go. The log in boss instantly hit me with an "unable to update NA/EU server list" zantetsuken attack.

Having got past this point I was again stuck in phase two and continuously put to sleep by the aforementioned spell.

Having licked my wounds and all but given up it was suggested to me to try the much less powerful "Forum" boss.
Well this was easier even though it did cast "slow" several times I managed to win.
If you are listening SE for the love of god please nerf Log in boss it is ridiculously over powered!!!!

They should have been really careful with this new re-release of the game and be more prepared for it, they had 3 closed betas and one open beta to test the stress on the servers, they knew this would happen in a way, so they should have prepared better.

I've been in a few MMO launches and to be honest, this is by far the worst one I've been able to play (or not from the look of things) I can't imagine the PS3 players frustration when they decide to give this game a chance and all of this happens.

Sure but this is different. This is a relaunch of an already failed MMO.

Will you still white knight 2 days from now when the game goes live and the servers die again from getting hit even harder with more people trying to log in and play?

How about 3 days from now?

1- This is different, this is a new game entirely, while GW2 underwent its release issues for a period of 1 month, with 2 emerg maint. And 4 weekly maint. To resolve the issue. As well, they suspended sales of GW2 for 1.5-2 weeks to address these issues.

2- I won't need to, as the whiners will leave, and enrich the community. And I'm not white knighting, I'm just not letting my emotions control my argument. This is called maturity.

3- 3 days from now is nothing. Expect 1-2 weeks of issues of any launch. At least they are actively working on it.

Just to clarify.

New engine, new format, same title. Just because it shares a title, doesn't mean its the same game. Its hardly a relaunch.

As well, Wolves don't lose sleep, over the thoughts of sheep. If a review is from someone that doesn't understand that mmo's have launch issues, chances are they don't know much about MMO's. Anyone that herds themselves to their opinion isn't someone that would stick around in an MMO anyway. This isn't CoD. We tend to have a little more intelligence out here.

My servers don't even load. When I press start it gives me: Unable to update the group NA/EU character list. and all i see are the JP server...

[Eric1987]

So any clue how much longer NA is going to be down?

[Bladefyre]

Sadly, the servers isn't down as there are people playing. The server just capped and now won't even list all.

really login restrictions and so what happens when its official launch and there is 10 times more people trying to login what are they going to tell all those people who paid to play the game and cannot even log into the na servers.
oh we are sorry for the inconvenience even though you paid to play the game we are restricting how many people can actually log in so that this new version of this game can BOMB and everyone demand a refund.
and they really expect people to pay a monthly subscription with still this many problems with the game.

ps. and yet its funny how there is no problems what so ever with the JP servers they all load just fine and never had any problems with them.

Well i can definitely say with 100% certainty that id these problems are not fixed by official launch that SE will have lost a customer because i refuse to pay a monthly subscription to a company to play a game that i cannot even login to

Don't forget to hit yourself on the way out, we wont be missing you. I'll be instead enjoying this great game.

People need to relax, obviously none of you have ever played an mmo at release. This is nothing lol.
