    Pretty much.

    I could excuse the lies, the problems, the queues, the unfunished game.

    If i could just subscribe and play. I think not beeing able to even subscribe to the product you bought would count as the worst  launch ever.

    I would not even call this a launch because nothing is laucnhing for me right now.

    I have not seen a launch where i was not even able to subscribe to the game at all. That alone counts for the worst launch ever.

     

    I have subscribed yesterday and got everything running already, dunno what you are on about.

    Good for you, i got my key today and i can't. Also entirely EA's fault not mine. 

    Would you like some cheese with your whine.... crap happens bro get over it.

    It's not just happening to him.  It's happening to everyone who hasn't picked a subscription plan yet, including me.  But him complaining about a web server being slow when it's getting jammed with people trying to do their subs all at once is pretty lame.

    Exactly my point no sense in complaining about something you have no control over.

    still haven't recieve my product activation key, the key on origin say it has already been used and the product still says unreleased on origin so cant download it either. i pre-ordered the game in september and got a pre order key but it is now 22 december and im  still waiting for my product activiation key.

    Problem I have is with your superlative.

    You lose the minute you use the word "worst" for this game.

    It is not that I disagree with you. I exist in some parallel universe to you.

    Now if you had said the game had a troubled launch I would be more inclined to listen. But the worst!

    Shit, I have lived through some pretty rough launches and this game doesn't even come close to the worst.

    Meh.

     

    Regards

    This will hurt swtor , loads of people still haven't been emailed their product activation key and the game was released 2 days ago. i should have expected no less from EA.

  • SupersoupsSupersoups Member Posts: 1,004

    I like how every single hiccup or glitch is suddenly turned into 'WORST MMO LAUNCH EVAHHH'.yeah right. As far as OP not having a problem ever to register a product key or sub to game before ofcourse you didn't because no other game had over million of players try to log in at same time during release.

     Am i being able to set up a  sub right now? nope. Is my world ending? not at all. Am i going to be patient and wait? absolutely.

    origin took 50 euro out of my bank account in september i should have recieved the product activation key straight away. Now they are telling people there was a problem with the transaction that it is still pending and to contact your bank.

    I would say troubled, but beeing lied to is someting i take very serious. no other company did that before (well Failcom did with AoC on multiple accounts)....

    You are right it's not the worst, since pretty much all of them where abysmal.

    This one tops it though with complete incompetence regarding the launch issues.  Metrics that where well known to them in advance have been ignored completely and their website is now down for good.

    Plus some people don't even ahve their Keys yet for a product they payed for and that has launched 2 days ago!

    False advertising and greed...

    First they say 30 free days with purchase... then they think "hey let`s force them to subscribe, all those subs look better in numbers and count towards our christmas bonuses". 

    So they force you to subscribe..... and this overloads their website and now nobody can subscribe/play/register codes and so on...  so greed ruins another game.... 

    No matter how much they say they are all for quality and bla bla, it`s still pure greed....

  • drbaltazardrbaltazar Member UncommonPosts: 7,856

    call them gees!they ask for info etc give them and you get on!you might have to wait a while since you guys are probably million trying to do the same thing!

    when i look at my games on origin it still says unreleased under swtor and i cannot download it, i have the game downloaded outside of origin but i find it strange that it still says unreleased under the picture of the swtor game box.

    I listed about 10 points not just a single hiccup or glitch. The current issue with the subscriptions is just the icing on the cake.

    Sure, i will wait like a good boy. What else can be done, but it will affect future purchases from EA and i will not subscribe to the game beyond the free month.

    I let my wallet talk.

    I agree with the OP! I know where hes coming from I mean i know i have never been around for another release but this was the worst one ever. 

    I keep getting graphic glitches...all EAs fault! and no it has nothing to do with the drivers from ATI or NVIDIA.

    I have to wait to login with millions of people trying....they should give me LEET access so that i can login and everyone else should wait. I paid more money than everyone of you!

    On top of all this, its EAs fault that when i purchased the game from gamesopt and gamestop didnt send me my key!

    you sir, need to google Anarchy Online Game Launch, that was the worst launch ever

  • nerovipus32nerovipus32 Member Posts: 2,735

    how can people defend this? EA/bioware have made a massive screw up im still waiting for my product activation code 2 days after release, i have never had this problem with any mmo.

    There i hope that helps the tardedness of the thread thread

    Another post that does not adress any of my listed issues at all. Instead tries to bait and insult me. Nice try.

    Talking about game features which you like or dislike has nothing to do with 'worst release ever'. I am talking specificaly about problems reagrding overloaded subscription forums. If people are having trouble loging into game they could care less what features of game they are going to love or hate.

    However, worst MMO launch ever titles till stays with Anarchy Online and FFXIV.

    As far as i know this is ILLEGAL in many countries.... it`s just that EA is so big by the time they finish the trial we will all be dead of old age... but it`s still as illegal as stealing.

    If you buy a car and they give you a broken one that doesn`t have any of the options you picked, would that make it right because you would do the same thing to them if you could?

    This is mostly the same only it`s a digital product not a phisical one.... 

    I will get my money back from Bioware tho... they will launch Mass Effect and Dragon Age.... and hello piratebay. So even if the law won`t punish them, i`m getting the value for my money.

    I had just preordered my MA copy, but it`s now cancelled.... bring it on Bioware, let`s see who loses more money in the end!

    As far as i know its software and crap happens... oh boohoo. AND as far as I know pirating games is illegal and your useless if your not gonna actually pay for the game and help them in delopving better games. Your no better than some1 mugging someone on the street.

  • kantseemekantseeme Member Posts: 709

    the OP must not have been around for VGs launch lol. when you suffer through constant crshes and deaths opon chunking... lest not forget the tombstone under the ground that you couldent get after your "CHUNK DEATH" so you had to take a 15% exp hit i belive and massive durability loss because you had to now get your stuff from the alter? cant remember its been to long. go through that for the first 3 mouths of a games life then post again.

  • DerrosDerros Member UncommonPosts: 1,216

    Certainly not the best launch, I'd say Rift had that, but definately not the worst either. 

     

    I've lived through the Anarchy Online launch (thankfully never went through Vanguard's or Darkfall's or Mortal's or FFXIV), I think i can deal with this little hicup. 

     

    also, this is what you get buying a MMO at launch, it ALWAYS happens!  There are ALWAYS problems!  I still cant believe people keep doing the same thing over and over, and act suprised.

    It's EA what did you expect, these jokers are the curse of the gaming world, the only real mystery is how they managed to avoid this complete balls up for 2 days.

  • IkedaIkeda Member RarePosts: 2,751

    1.  Grace period was $-'d.

    2.  Staggered early access was to avoid 80000 waiting to kill droid 1a and have ninja jerk21093 steal it after waiting 2 hrs.

    3.  You most certainly didn't complain about FFXIV, why when another game does it do you complain?

    4.  Devs pulled some of the features like AA for more debugging.  There are already work arounds for the moment.

    Now to the crux of the situation.... YOU defended FFXIV.  DEFENDED a game so bad that it was given away FREE for over a year.  How on Earth can you say this is the worst one?  This thread made me LOL when I read who the OP was.  

    Don't forget to buy your crysta so you can buy your sub + buy you character slots.... just a reminder.

    You ask us to defend the points you make and I throw back at you to defend your statement when you clearly defended worse games ( even having a company release a press release saying they know it sucks hard ).  Until then, you're just another waste of thread topic space.
