The launch was a disaster. I'm not sure how anyone could come to any other conclusion. This article isn't about the game, just the launch. To be fair, the best quote from the article gives the game a lot of credit...

Sums it up pretty nicely.

Its personal preference and all, but yes we need to educate WoW players that this is OUR game, these are Characters and not Toons. Time to beat that into them one at a time.

I don't think the launch was a disaster. It was normal. There are always network problems. There are also missed sales forecasts, sometimes too high, sometimes too low. I played when WoW launched, the server couldn't stay up for more than a couple hours without crashing.

More recently, I played Guild Wars 2 at launch. A lot of people like to use it as a good launch. They don't remember that the first day of EA it crashed almost immediately and did not come back for 4-5 hours. They don't remember that the auction house was unavailable for weeks.

A couple good examples the other way are Rift and SWTOR. Both games overestimated how much space they would need (in varying degrees) and ended up with dead servers. Rift started turning servers into "New Player servers" cause there was no one on them. SWTOR, well most people who play MMOs will probably be familiar with that problem. Too many servers leading to low pop on each, ON TOP OF a game that had problems. PVP where you didn't have to PVP and huge connection issues at launch.

This is par for the course. Is this one just as bad as the others in some regards, yes. Is is better than some others? Yes. The game actually kicks ***, and they are making fixes later today. Tho it is a little despairing to know that I can't even log on at 6am EST.

Go server maintenance!

This is what happens when you aren't prepared. I am not surprised.

What also doesn't surprise me is some people are in PURE DENIAL.

How can anyone say it's not fair to knock an MMO on connectivity issues?

It's a purely online experience, the inability to connect should be one of the BIGGEST things to effect a score/rating/opinion.

The game can be a masterpiece, but no one gives a rat's *** if they can't connect.

That's the only thing that I can't wrap my head around. It's ABSOLUTELY fair to lower a games score or what not based on things like connectivity, especially since one can't play without the ability to connect.

Baffling.

It is beyond me why anyone STILL gives this guy attention.

Just ignore him, he obviously wants the game to fail by spreading FALSE propaganda.

Which is why you're sub-defaulted. Consistently.

For someone who hates ARR so much, you sure do play it a lot. You sent me a tell the other night on Migard asking if I wanted to do a dungeon. What makes you think I would want to do a dungeon with someone so negative and viral?

I've already blacklisted you and warned my FC about you.

For those of you interested in his in-game name, feel free to PM me.

To be honest, i've not seen anything of the downright slamming or disaster calling in ANY of the reviews i've read, even the one the OP posted.

They're all saying the game is absolutely brilliant, the design is breathtaking and that it's an absolute MUST-PLAY.

The only thing they're mentioning is that SE didnt forsee the amount of people that wanted to play it (true), and that a lot of people simply cannot play it despite wanting to (also true).

Not anywhere have i seen anything along the lines of "You shouldnt buy this game, it's crap, they ruined it, no one likes it, etc...". Just praises with some discontent about the server accesability...

This I won't allow. If I find out anyone is using these forums to harass/blacklist Killua in game, there will be repercussions.

You guys badmouth him all the time and he takes it like a champ, rarely if ever losing his temper while you guys rage and gnash your teeth about him. I may not like what he posts either but he's allowed to have his point of view. If he bothers you this much, ignore him and move on.

Hey there! How's it going? Did you sue SE yet? How about your disputes -- Did you get your money back from SE and ZAM? Did your Senior Vice President of AMEX help you out with your disputes? I haven't seen her online at work, nor does she exist.

You were muted once. Muted again permanently. I'm hoping this third time leads you to a permanent IP ban.

Quote:
IP / Name Posts / Total Flags Score

xx.xxx.xx.xxx 1 / 1 unresolved
vahlmyth 212 / 212 MUTE 1.24417592918021
FFXIV4Evah 1 / 1 NOPOST 1.16666666666667

Evading a mute is a bannable offense. Consider the mute permanent. Also, don't bother creating another account, I can ban them faster than you can make new e-mail accounts. Also, the whole that being a violation of At&t Internet Services terms of service and all.

You know it's funny, but when you consider what he posts and why he posts it, ignoring the sensationalized titles he uses for his threads, he's actually a well put together poster. I see no reason with a slight adjustment to verbage he'd be a Sage here.

Alas, I digress.

He is quite the adamant pessimist, isn't he? A perpetual negative outlook is something I see in people every day. People I know personally. That's why I leave him alone most of the time.

Except that one time when he got personal and said there was something wrong with another poster because they couldn't beat Titan in two tries.

We're monitoring that one. The wording is similar, the IP's aren't. We'll see if theres a crossover later. For now though please let admins handle the sockpuppets if they are. Sometimes different people use coincidental wording unintentionally.

Will this also hide threads he creates? If so I'm on board with this. Hell I'm doing it anyway.

The way I understand it works is you will not see any of his posts, threads or anything. I don't use it because I need to see what you knuckleheads are up to. However this won't block anyone quoting him of course.

This is what it looks like when someone is blocked. You'll still see their threads, too, when they make new ones.
