Guild Wars 2

Annoyingly my mate on teamspeak is happily playing away (either that or he's trying to wind me up and its working!)

It's a bit of a pain but par for the course for an MMO release so just a case of waiting it out.
 
Anyone else playing a Guardian ?

I've rolled one and don't have much of a clue about levelling in this game, just thought a Guardian would be a useful profession later on.
 
The amount of idiots in this thread is astounding.

This launch has gone better than most and just because they're having a bit of problems within the first 7-8hours people are crying and bitching.

All MMOs(or online-only games) have teething problems at first. Get over it, man the **** up whatever you need to do to stop acting like a 7 year old.

This is a forum for an online game. People are going to moan, you need a reality check if u think people wont vent their frustration on this forum.
 
cant rely on you lot for nothing, conflicting answers pff alright im going with subway because i can get a foot long and make it last!
 
Why do you type - GP after everything you say? If I look to the left I can see your name, and if i look at your sig I can see your name, I'm not missing anything, so why tell me 3 times?:P

I do it because it indicated me signing my thoughts off and not just spewing random garbage into a post without thinking

Well what other MMO's have you tried to play on launchday? For me in recent memory:

WoW
SRO (free Korean game that managed things fine)
AoC
WAR
TERA

All of those had working log-on servers on launch-- even if in-game experience was laggy as hell and full of congestion and constant drops. You could at least get past the game launcher. Been stuck on that for 2 hours now with this GW2 'advance launch'. Not saying it's the end of the world, but a little confused how "every other MMO launch" you have experienced has been worse. How can it be worse? The desktop shortcut icon didn't even manage to open the launcher, or something?

I've had no problems with the launcher. It took me until about 8:30 to login, then I rolled on a random server, transferred to Desolation at about 11, and carried on playing completely lag or bug free until around 12, where the login servers went down.

WoW
SWTOR
AoC
Aion
Tera
WAR
Rift
DaoC
DC Universe online
FF Online
Guild Wars (original and now 2)

What was the reason for this list again?
 
Is there meant to be some grinding involved? I'm about half way through level 8 now, and there is literally nothing else I can do until level 10. Found and completed all the hearts, found all the vista's and waypoints etc; only thing available is the next heart at level 10 and main story at level 10... so I'm meant to grind for a level?
 
Again, this same routine line. Yes, all MMO's have their problems. But having a log-in/auth server being totally down for the first few hours is pretty much as big of a failure as you can get. Most MMO's 'launch day woes' are to do with in-game performance, zone congestion, client drops, etc. People can't even log into their account with GW2 :o I think people's complaints and confusion are perfectly justified, considering they had about 4 'stress tests' to prevent just this sort of thing. Many other MMO's which experience 'problems' do not have this benefit.

You can hardly say they are 'overwhelmed'. They knew exactly how many people to expect.

********. First few hours? It only just went down about 30mins ago. It's been having problems with the loads since 5AM this morning and that's to be expected.

This is a forum for an online game. People are going to moan, you need a reality check if u think people wont vent their frustration on this forum.

The same way they need to get a reality check because this ALWAYS happens.
It's just pathetic having a bunch of 20-30+y/os crying about how a game isn't working. QQ

Your statement was that "every other MMO launch" has been worse. Well, seems 90% of people here can't even log-in past the game launcher. I was asking how every other MMO has somehow been 'worse' than this. Technically, in the whole process of logging in and playing a new MMO, it can't get much worse than being stuck on the game's desktop launcher. No? Impressive list, but I can tell you for a fact that WoW, GW, TERA and WAR's launchdays were much smoother than this.
