Too many sometimes. In the human area, I can barely hit a mob before it's dead in a DE. lol
Um...why everyone counts headstart as the "release." Every other MMORPG is judged by that standard because there are no more wipes. Headstart = launch.
I will wait a couple of weeks and read some reviews before deciding to play or not.
But it is very amusing to see all those people defending the prelaunch issues that TSW was slammed for by GW2 players.
why can't I do a launch review on this website or metacritic? why can't I walk into gamestop and pick a box off the shelf?because official launch is the 28th
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
I see the demagogues are still hard at work on the forums.
Anyway, off to lock in two more new character names.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
I logged in at midnight last night played 2 and a half hours then went to bed. Woke up a few hours ago and played for 2 hours again.
No problems whatsoever. Best launch ive ever played in!

It's about realistic expectations. IF you are sore in the seat about it, you have unrealistic expectations.

You really need to get those hemmoroids treated Mephster - that much bitterness and discomfort just can't be healthy.
i have had only one issue so far, its been pretty smooth for me actually.
Quoted for truth, blow by blow.
I've had the best experience except for a few disconnects (like 3 or 4) around 1am EST. I played from 12-3am EST with no issues then went to sleep. Woke up at 11am and haven't had issues yet.
What I also find funny is that everyone is calling it the most horrible launch in the past 2 years basing on the first few hours that the servers opened. Rift & TOR had HOURS of queues across every server that took days (even weeks) before everyone could login without issues. Not to mention TOR had staggered release so you had to wait while other people were playing them game.
So far the only issues I've heard of happened within the first 8 hours and the servers have been stable since. Is it by far the worst launch recently? Probably (compared to the tiny community of TERA & TSW). But compared to launches of last year it isn't.

I was able to log in at 9 pm sharp, played for few hours with some lag here and there, but that's expected considering your screen is filled with hordes of players. Same scenario in other mmos, information transfer would be lost very quickly, but not this game, which I'm utterly impressed.
I stopped playing after my friend couldn't log back in at about 4am PDT (by then we'd have played for 7 hours...without much issue other than the lag), and I went to bed. Woke up at about 8, played 3 hours since, and lag is pretty much absent, with overflow server working beautifully.
I really don't want to address the trollish nature of this thread title, but I can easily name big mmo launches with much much worse outcome.
The threads are now getting too quiet. Guess everyone is back online playing the game.
I am sadden that I can't play for another 4 hours. Guess we gotta do what we gotta do to earn the money to support our entertainments.

See, all this uproar for what? Yah...this, this was the worst "launch" in 2012! I noticed the OP removed his original comment as well, things must be ok now then? Jumping the gun, making statements when half of the day isnt even over....lmao
The OP was [MODeddited] which usually means what was said was rather bile.

Apparently the game crashed for a while, work needed to be done, and thus...the world came to and end. You know, usual stuff round these parts.
The most widely reported problem seemed to be a rerun of BWE1's authentication problems.
