Ok I never got to play beta, game looks great and 2 mates have me sold on it. Looking for a dps/healing class, what's recommended? Medic, Esper or Spellslinger!

try GMG?

use this code for 20% off ZMMIEX-EW1476-0PNL11

today's the last valid day though.

Kiith

It's €33 on G2Play, but i'm not 100% sure if you'd get the headstart code before tomorrow. You probably will, but i'd check with them first.

delta36

Am I correct in thinking the headstart is available from 8am tomorrow? I may foolishly get up early to try and start playing then.

Kiith

Yeah, 8:01am tomorrow according to the devs.

Whether or not it's even remotely playable at that time is another matter.

May leave it till 10am so. Odds are there'll already be a PvP meta game by then :pac:

Edit: Also, just realised now, for people planning on buying it, make sure you buy it for the correct region! The game is split into US and EU, codes are for one region or the other.

Dcully

Not sure if ill get on over weekend at all but pre ordered it there on GMG, instant codes.

Im updating the beta client ,im guessing thats okay and no need to download the full client.

ShadowHearth

I think ill skip head Start this weekend after all. Double xp and German bonuses in World of Tanks this weekend. Then I need to go to Birthday Party on Sunday. Work on Bank Holiday Monday.
I think its for the best. Hearing fellow Boardsies opinion on game before I buy will be best thing ever. Plus I will benefit from that pass too.

Once you've updated it, the client you had for the beta is fine.

Dcully

Prob wont get on much over weekend but will get some time atleast.

Word from @JeremyGaffney - Appears we are fighting off a DDOS attack;

nesf

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Lone Stone

sigh.. ah well il make a cup of tea.

Lone Stone

woop im in

Inquitus

Hazak, Q position 5889, estimated wait 472 hours, and that's the only English PvP server.

Lone Stone

holy **** i must have been insanely lucky to get in first try

MagicIRL

The only world PvP is when questing/gathering currently, right? I think I'll play on Eko PvE when I buy it. Also, when does it actually launch?

This stream is killing me with so much want.

Dcully

I cant even retrieve realm list.

Inquitus

After getting DQ at 5000 odd in the Q I am now a healthy 1002 on Hazak, estimated 29 minutes and rising fast!

BKtje

Same here, can't even retrieve the realms. Will try the default realm while I wait, some PVE one

BKtje

Anyone have a problem with the opening cut scene that it's cut in half down the diagonal?

Inquitus

New PvP server ravenous open, got in started to play, time to drop the kids to GAA :-)

ShadowHearth

So as expected a cluster **** so far? Standard for any mmorpg at this stage lol.

Only 2 pvp servers sound like a bit off.... **** up?

Kiith

The queue looks huge, but tends to jump a fair bit. I queued for about 10 minutes anyway, but am playing away now.

Noxin

Ahh new MMO launch day. Always such a pleasure

While I'm not buying this atm (still playing ESO and enjoying it), I may give it another try in the future. Just glad I'll avoid launch day

List of things they currently working on.

Cluster**** is too strong a word, I'm in and playing even if it is a different realm than I wanted. Have had much much much worse launch days, actually I think this is one of the better ones so far.

Lone Stone

Bit laggy, havent had any issues playing or logging in yet.
im still on hazzak anyway. The chat is bugged out for me i cant use it

BKtje

Aha the realm selector is now working, off to Havak I go.

EDIT: and the queing begins.

Kiith

12 hour queue now.

delta36

Well I had better make my char now to get into the game sometime tomorrow!

BKtje

Queue times are not accurate accurate all

Dcully

Havent got past realm list screen yet, granted i tried this morning for 15 mins and about 10 mins just now.
Fully expected issues though.

delta36

Welp, currently trying to change realm to Hazak, that doesn't seem to be working, may just leave it on the screen for a while, see what happens.
Also, 4 of the realms are full already?? That's crazy!

Kiith

Was pretty stupid only having 1 EU PvP server, so it's no surprise that there are issues. Annoying, but expected.

Dcully

Your typical MMO launch, not smooth but not the roughest either.


edit : sorry didnt see this linked on last page.

Hi all,

We are currently investigating and tracking the following issues.

Players are unable to view Realm List/Enter Realms
Once through to a realm, players Character Creation screen is blank and they cannot progress.
Various connected issues: Users are not being correctly flagged
Players are treated as Guest and not placed into queues correctly
Players cannot speak/do not have permissions to use chat channels
Players are missing their entitlement items (Boom Boxes, Pre-Order bonuses etc) OR they recieve a message that it has already been claimed.
These issues are all connected and we are still investigating.
Players cannot create characters/have less character slots than intended
Some users are seeing an Error 15 message preventing login. (2FA)
POSSIBLE FIX: We recommend using a hard line into your Router (if possible) rather than a WiFi connection to see if this resolves the issue
Users are reporting their Reserved names are not available.
Some users are reporting they are being bounced between NA and EU, receiving a "No Valid Game Account" message.
Update: We're still investigating the issue with "No Valid Game Account".

We will try and update you with information as we receive it, but there are a lot of moving parts right now and we're trying to get everything up and running so please bare with us! We're working on these issues as fast as possible and are sincerely sorry if you're unable to get in and enjoy WildStar right now.

More info as we have it.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Realm list tells me Ravenous is also a PvP server though? Although it's already full.

Dcully

I normally go PVE in MMOs but since boardsies and DKR are going pvp i might give it a lash.

WoW open world pvp was great but died a quick death, no other mmo has nailed open world MMO since imo.

Kiith

Once you get in, it plays really well. It's just getting in that's the issue.

delta36 wrote: »

They launched that server about an hour after launch.

delta36

Welp, Hazak went from being "Low" to "Full" on the realm screen, but I at least get to queue for it. Considering almost all realms are either "Full" or "High", I might as well just wait for this one.

Dcully

Its saying Hazak population is low for me,but when i try to join the hamster spins for eternity.

Its want to get in to make a few characters to save name.

Now its saying its full and i managed to get in queue.

That's what was happening to me, then the hamster would disappear and I wouldn't be able to select any realms at all. Just pressed escape, relogged, and tried again, and like I said above that time it showed as full for me.

Kiith

The login servers seem to drop occasionally, which screws up the pop listings. It's still full though, as i'm queuing atm.

Dcully wrote: »

I was getting this earlier as well, but it eventually got through after i logged out a few times.

Kiith

Go to through the queue, got a blank character screen, logged back in and was put on the wrong server and now i'm back at the start of the queue.

****in joke.

delta36

I'm...gonna go get a coffee I think.

In the time it took me to screenshot that and upload it, my wait time is now at 4 hours, but my queue position is only 2500! So..it's not all bad..

Edit: Now on 14 hours

MagicIRL

Are any of yous on a VoIP? Obviously I've missed my head start opportunity so I'll be purchasing afterwards but wouldn't mind idling on a voip anyway.

Dcully

Right thats me done for now, havent time to flute about anymore, will try again later, hope you get in guys.
