So no one actally thought it was just to stress test the engine in one location so they had data ready to tweek it so on release IF there is huge floods of players in the starting zone it wouldn't instacrash on them as it was doing?
sorry but if your going to bash a game over a beta event - need I remind you of a certain live WoW event that was that poorly thought out guilds held servers hostage over unlocking the content, and that was even if you actally managed to get online at the time, yes how easy it is to forget AQ
probly because most of the userbase in this site basically only just became actal MMO players a few years ago and basically only know half truths and rumours, most of the actal MMO playerbase probly wouldn't just this jaded trollfest with a ten foot pole now.
lol AQ event was so legendary it was unplayable yet awesome.
I myself thought it would be a good chance for them to have one super end all server stress test but i dont know how this stuff actually happens (hope to in the near future) so im just guessin and ponderin or whatever.

Actually I quit WoW just before this crap and I felt it completed validated and was indicative of my reasons for quitting.
What the beta event showed was how much of a rushed release it will be. The event was for all servers and featured lvl60 robotic machines at the superman event but it seems like they forgot 2 servers were restricted to lvl20. I was getting hit for 4-8k. Maybe at lvl30 in endgame gear it was survivably but they just basically 1 shot everyone in range. I would have been happy to just watch it but just being in view of the event caused me to crash.
Calling it the "worst event ever" is just being melodramatic. It was as bad/good as any large event i've seen in WAR, AoC or Aion. No it wasn't fun but it never usually is.
I actually didn't think large scale events were possible with current technology until i played Rift however DCUO is way more action orientated which must give those hamsters a damn good workout.
Seeing as its still beta at least they should get plenty of feedback for future events in live (thou why developers always wait until the last minute to test large scale events just boggles me) and i'd expect a decent update for release.
Sorry I have to call bullshit on you.
COH can and has run large events much much better. Aion's end of Beta event sucked yes. But it is simply not true that some MMOs do not know how to run large events.
CoH is probably the best at large evetns and they are a direct competitor of this events.
CoH's automatically generated events are run better than most games human run events.
I've never played COH nor did i mention them so maybe you need glasses. If you say it has large scale events that run fine then i'll have to take your word for it.
What i did say is i had never seen it personally in WAR, AoC or Aion where getting a few hundred people in a same spot fighting each other was just a laggy crash fest like yesterday in DCUO.
It lived up to my personal expectations and i'll still be playing come release as the game isn't really marketed around large scale combat.
