SWTOR: Early access

"I will say - as I mentioned yesterday - that today the 'timeline' of people who get in will be much, much longer. Beyond July..." - Stephen Reid

I think the wave system is a disaster. Whilst I wouldn't have been able to play much until Thursday night if I did get in, the lack of communication on it has been ridiculous.

They should have given people a rough estimate on when they were being allowed in to play. Stopping at 2,their time, was also a joke.

Even today's message, "Beyond July...". You think they'd have learned from yesterday that vagueness didn't go too well.

I don't mind the straggling of people in to starter zones, but it should have continued on all day, and people should have been told when to expect to play

Im a bit upset tbh. I was enjoying watching thedoc rage :pac::pac:

Doc, whats this waffle about you being in 4kings on that stream thing?

Calhoun

Gummy Panda

I hope some guildies get in. Guild leader says he is very lonely on the server. He levelled his alt before his main so he could level with us.

Impossible to watch that stream Doc, framerate's terrible.

Kiith

Stream seems fine for me.

Reading elsewhere that Wave 1 was apparently up to around 5th or 6th of August.

Your Saga Begins‏

awww yeah

String

August 23rd latest in so far after wave 2.. wow! I might get in after all

Kiith

A month (or so) in 2 waves sounds pretty good. And September was apparently a sloooow month for pre-orders.

Very good post on reddit. I could be in next wave if they are guessing right

They are seriously underestimating the number getting in. The vgchartz stats only show US retail only and they were still 120k in the first week. If you add in US digital editions and EU retail/digital, then it's more than likely 200-250k were let in yesterday.

Did I read somewhere that there was something like 2.5 million copies sold of this? Estamated 4 mill or something when they are live and established? If so... 250k activations a day will not fuhcking cut it. That will be the only negative and angry thing i have said :pac:

Indeed, but as linked above, they are letting in more today than yesterday so either way I wouldn't panic.

If they get up to early October like that reddit post suggests, I'd estimate they have about 800,000 to 1 million activated. Presuming the 2.5 million is true, which I had also heard. Going on that,it looks like everyone would be in on Saturday,and maybe some late people in early Sunday.

3rd wave is out.. check mails

String

Going by current dates at 10th sep for wave 3 I will definitly get in wave 4.. I would be delighted I didnt expect to get in till friday

Blowfish

Servers definitely starting to fill up in the EU at least. Hopefully we don't start getting queues.

[edit] The French ones seem quiet enough though for some reason.

Still a lot of standards though, and would rather queues than this endless wait

Although I dont expect to be in until tomorrow's last wave or Fridays first few, and couldnt play until tomorrow night anyway

Kiith

Up to 21st Sep apparently.

Still, getting a bit worried that i won't get in till Saturday at the earliest now. Stupid lack of foresight on my part.
