Copperfield

not sure what is going on.. but seems to me following is going on..

 

Website is very slow

some people can't connect to their glyph..

server being hammered? and shutt down and open again? crashing?

 

they should know how many people could be hammering website and gameservers right? with the controlled beta keys giving away?

 

I wonder how launch will be lol

This is the norm now days for every new game at release there is always down time. I guess they send more beta keys then they can handle.

Kind of reminds me of the launch of Rift actually, but I don't think it's that bad. Hell, we used to see crashing the servers as a challenge back in the wow vanilla days.

Launch will most likely be an epic clusterf*ck, lol

 

Being "first" to login and get that scarecrow farm down is going to be a high priority, resulting in massive server loads. No idea how they'll be able to cope with it.

 

Opening up dozens of servers at launch is extremely risky, because server merges in AA will be almost impossible without everyone on the merged server permanently losing their house/farm spot. The QQ will be at 10 on the Richter Scale...

And I think you are overestimating the power of hardware.

I know that stress testing the Servers for Euro and America is one of the top priorities.  This is exactly what they want, and exactly what a Beta Test is for!!   This way fingers cross we have a smooth start once it officially goes live.

I agree, any computer guy/gal knows you always implement least amount of hardware and scale up as need not the other way around. Duh!

 

I am mainly here to find out though, as I just got home from work, are the authentication servers down as my game shows offline.  Just want to make sure that is the norm right now?

No way!! All gamers know you need 2 GTX 770's in SLI to play WoW!!

The game's a huge disappointment so far. I got drunk just to play, and I can't log in. I went outside to smoke a cig, hoping that would fix the problem, but still nothing.

Patience.....This is what Testing is all about.  I think many forget this point.

Nah, he just forgot step 1: Take vacation days from work to Beta Test a game.

The solution obviously is to drink some more and wax the wood/polish the pearl...

 

Stress-tests are part of what a beta is for... any real beta at least. even if the term is getting so watered down that it is not even funny.

One IP address on the internet (or any net) means one connection.  One connection (or 2 or 3 as the case may be) can only handle so much traffic.  Whether a DDOS is intentional or not, whether it is expected or not will have the same effect.

according to most of the troll posts here no one will play the game so no worries right  lol

lol, RIFT launch was smooth as can be, just servers were loaded so there were Queues

this is beta relax people

Considering that Rift had arguably one of the smoothest launches of any MMO,  I have more faith in Trion's ability to "handle it" compared to most other MMO developers.

Part of the stress test is making the servers scream for mercy.

Welp, I was able to login to AA from Glyph at 10:00am PDT, but got no further than the short cinematic that plays when there's server connection issues.

Four times I logged in and got kicked back to Glyph.

Then the "Play" button turned grey and changed to "Offline".

 

So either the team "validating the servers" didn't communicate with the peeps setting the Glyph status, or else they intended to start at the original time and something went badly wrong...
