I should have waited on getting this game.

I am in the oceanic region and am logging on to the North American server and it takes on average 10-15minutes to load in then lasts anywhere from 2 - 15 minutes before dropping out again, not to mention the awful lag. To say I am disappointed with the game at the moment is an understatement, hopefully they will fix these problems so the game experience improves or it will be going back!

Oh wait. You're complaining.

I knew there would be many threads like this. Mainly because there aren't a lot of mmos out there for console players. I'm on console but I know better to expect a smooth mmo release. This isn't skyrim or oblivion, this is mmo with many many people trying to log in and once. It's going to take some time and a few patches but they'll get it right. I'll tell you this. I was able to log on a few hours before many people and the servers were great so the game is capable of running smooth. In the later veteren zones where I am currently there is absolutely no lag whatsoever. So again give it time. This game is a blast. I have hundreds of hours invested into and have had so much fun, if you can wait until the figure this all out I'm sure you'll have fun as well.

Welcome to the world of gaming. Basically no game lately gets released without some flaws to it. Even it being lag issues, loading issues, glitches, etc....and that is even for offline based games. Look at a game like Witcher 3 which is still suffering for issues. Or look at Assassin's Creed Unity which was even worse than this release. All I can suggest is that if you don't want these to continue don't preorder and try to get others you know not to preorder. If companies look at the forecast and see it small or next to nothing, it may get delayed, but you might see them work harder and longer on it.

This is why I don't generally buy a game upon release anymore.

FYI when I bought Skyrim CE for the PC it didnt work for a week until Bethesda put out a patch. So its not just their mmos hehe.

Iove this game. I don't give a rats ass that people are pissed off. I dont plan on touching another game for a very long time even with its problems. If you want to see a broken game play DCUO.

That's what happens at launch when you are the best selling game on Amazon and everywhere else.

MMOs are like this, some people even think PC's first year was paid-beta, and what I kind of agree.

It is funny to think because it is a MMO that these problems should be expected. Because of experience? So it's excusable?

I mean if that's the case then they should forewarn people that they may experience login failures at launch and may suffer whole hours of miss gameplay while they figure who spilled the coffee in their server rooms.

I saw another one state with all the other MMO having the same issues with their launches, you would think they would be able to prevent it from happening with theirs.

I still can't log on and this has been well over a hour that I have been waiting to get back into the game.

I mean they should have said you can purchase the game on the 9th but it won't be fully playable because we need to fix all the issues that users will be experiencing to fix all the issues to get the full experience. Please play the game in a month from now. Thank you

I'm not defending anyone here but making a statement of logic.
Nothing, I mean NOTHING can prepare a company for THOUSANDS of customers flooding the gates over an internet connection into ONE server. Bugs, crashes, errors and failures will happen. Sorry, it totally blows but it is in fact the nature of the beast.
Even a thorough stress test will be hundreds at best.
Other console games have a smoother time testing and launching because
1) multiple servers to reduce stress
2) limited number of players at any given time
3) experience developing online games.

Again, not defending anyone, but I do feel this to be expected given the circumstances.
