Bioware have Resurrected the Titanic once again.

What a ridiculous analogy. They have fulfilled the orders in the order they where recieved. Arguably if the had fullfilled collectors editions first you might have been able to argue the 'class' thing but they did not. 

 

 

Cost of SWTOR 60 bucks flat rate (I know Oceanic and some EU guys got shafted a bit).

Cost of a ticket (one way) Titanic

• 
  First Class (parlor suite) £870/$4,350 ($83,200 today)
• 
  First Class (berth) £30/$150 ($2975 today)
• 
  Second Class £12/$60 ($1200 today)
• 
  Third Class £3 to £8/$40 ($298 to $793 today)

i dont agree with his analogy but i do agree that it has already been shown that this staggered launch is an epic failure. people that preordered within an hour of preorders going live have still not been granted access.... that is fucking insane. i preordered 2 days after and i dont expect to get in for atleast 2 days now.

they are being fucking ridiculous with these waves. 2 waves out and still people that preordered on the 21st arent all in? REALLY?!

Yes -  I can agree with this.  I understand the staggered release but they need to put the foot on the gas pedal! now! NOW!

I only have 1 problem with early access.

I'm fine with the fact that I can't play yet even if I think it's stupid to go by the date you entered the early access key since some people (including me) did not get it when buying the game, only few weeks later.

The things that ticks me off and makes me slightly pissed is that there is 1 pvp-rp server for EU. And it will most likely be full as ****/too full when some people get to choose their server, even though they pre ordered the game.

If the server proves to be that popular, they can easily bring more online, so I wouldn't worry.  There are only 2 for the US.  Personally I hope they're obnoxiously popular, because they're my server of choice and an active population will only make it better.

That being said, for all of you waiting for an email, just try logging in.  I logged in and got my name of choice already, then had to leave for work (where I am now), but I still haven't received an email.

I think they way they are bringing in people is fucking brilliant.

instead of overloading the acount creation and code redemption options, aswell as overloading servers. They decided to let alot of people in, control the situation, open more servers and then bring in the next wave.

Its brilliant, way better then all the people whining for x days that they cant play at all. because of overloaded servers etc.

Yes i myself preordered very late so i doubt i will be giving alot of days of early acces. but still i call this a brilliant way  of dealing with  a milion people overloading your servers all at once.

Oh right, we live in an entitlement society and we deserve everything. *watches for that lightning strike*

LOL!!!

It all reminds me of all those mail order commercials like the Snuggy, where they show some person in a recliner and they're "struggling" with their "normal" blanket.

Dude!  You're in a recliner watching tv, and you have a blanket!  A lazy day doesn't get much better than that!

Announcer: "Ever experience the horror of laying in a recliner with your Snuggy watching the game, and your gf giving you a BJ?"

D-bag:  "Honey, I can't see the tv!  Your head is in the way!  Errr... about half the time!"

Announcer:  "Now there's a solution... introducing 'Inviso-head'!"

Can't believe people are complaining about this shit.  It's sad.

My god... get a friggin life.  Boohoo you miss out a few days.  Go do something thats actually productive then, like bills or cleaning or just simplely enjoying that... you know that mythical thing called the outdoors.

This is really pathetic if we come to a point where people are QQing over 1-2 more early day access.  BW is under zero obligation to even do early access, they can do it as they see fit since their "offical" launch is the 20th.

no, OP is dead right.  I don't feel the need for lengthy analogies, but this staggered invite crap is total horsepoop.  They should have started it an hour or 2 earlier, let everyone in at once, and just capped server pops in stages to keep them from getting overloaded.

Maybe staggering people works better? As opposed to just getting slammed and hoping for the best.

And I really don't see the issue. people are being let in ahead of schedule for the "early" access.

I got an invite and i am purposely avoiding the headstart for atleast 3 days. I checked the starter planet and it was crazy.
