planetside Launches!!!!!

[jamikey]

hey guys i had a problem with asheron's call2.infact ive had it for 2 months and haven't even played it one time,yet i got charged a month of service. I was really dissapointed by that game and I pray that planetside launches smoothly. It would be crappy if we all bought the game and had to run it with out sound because of a bug. I wonder why microsoft shipped ac2 with so many flaws and how sony's gonna keep this launch smooth??

Probably just pushed it out as fast as they could, I have faith in the Sony team. You can bet that they will not let it launch if it isn't good to go. I'm sure it will not be perfect when it is released, will always be some bug fixes to implement!

[mistled]

I think much of will come from Sony's experience with EQ. That, and the fact the if there's a huge problem, we're going to sic our l33t whores loose on the dev team.

Sony has a lot more experience than the big M in MMO games. 'Sides I already l got their addresses and I'm holding their pets hostage. The PSU l33t whore division doesn't play around...

For MMOGs theres a lot of competition and comparison. The first comparison and competetion lies in the actual game quality, the second is the launch. If you have a good launch, then that's basically like mooning your competitors in the MMOG genre.

:lol:

well i'm willing to wait an extra year if I have to for a smooth launch. I don't think I've ever been so dissappointed by a game then when I bought AC2 and it never even worked a bug or two is no big deal I just want to be able to play the game.

you obviously haven't been waiting as long as some of us have :D

I think it'll be a smooth launch. PS is far less complex than most MMOGs out there, having only a PvP system and no loot or economy or what have you to worry about. I'm sure they'll understand how absolutely critical it is that they have a fairly decent launch also, so while there'll be some imbalances for a while, I suspect that there won't be any truly major issues when the game is finally released.

I can deal with a couple wrinkles just to get my hands on the game.

I think it got rushed with the bugs for a couple of reasons.... Dark Age of Camelot: shrouded Isles was getting ready for a release (The expansion to DAOC ... great game BTW).... and with EQ2 in development they were probably hoping to rope in as many gamers that had to have the latest and greatest..... then get the players established so they wouldn't leave.... just my 2 cents on that matter.... PS will release fine.... if it doesn't have any probems I would be suprised... but i don't expect them to have any show stoppers.

Hmm really I didn't seem to notice to many problems with the game of course I much rather play ps than it right now though.

[jamikey]

Furio your one of the lucky few dude. Check on the officail site, theres a thread all about technical support issues and such it had over 50,000 hits in around 2 weeks.I'm notjoking eigther check it for yourself, Everytime i tried to get help from the tech peeps they were all flabergasted.They said it must be My ISp so I called cox comm and they said I'd have to pay50dollars on top of my 60 $amonth bill for a static Isp.HAHAHAHa yeah f-ing right. then I bought earth and beyond, it used port 80 also and guess what no probs. That game made me almost cry guys..infront of my wife if you can believe that..lol


As for DAoC shrouded isles, I couldn't get into the first one so it's sitting here collecting dust along with about 20 other games..hey since im here I ahve a concern, I'm playing alot of FPS and there all getting really boring to me. i'm kinda scared that the same thing will happen to Ps I wonder if there's going to be new patches and stuff ever month?

I'm not smoking anything. I happened to like that game and don't need you telling me if it was a waste of money. If you didn't like great. you won't see me replying to you like that.

Uhmmmm AC2 was praised for its really smooth launch :rolleyes:

I played everquest sience beta to shortly before PoP came out. A 'twig' has never been a good weapon, if such a weapon does egsist. However in the Kunark days before it was nerfed the "Moss covered twig" was a much coveded weapon due to its speed. I believe it was 3/11 (dmg/dly) but im not sure. But now with luclin and PoP, even some nice high end Vel loot's, the MCT is not good at all. I think it was also droped as part of the FM cycle and was not no drop at first, so it was commonly gotten by farming druids/rangers/bards (tracking is a must for the FM cycle so those people were the most often ones camping it, mostly druids)

[jamikey]

Mopo look at the site dude. Then tell me about the smooth launch. explain to me why if it was sooooo smooth why'd the "technical problems" thread get almost 40,000 hits in a week.dude it's no lie check the site. There were hundreds of peeps with hundreds of problems that noone had any answer's to I was one of em. I heard all the crap reviews saying how it was " generaly" a smooth launch. Thats just because Noone on the microsoft side or thechnical support side didn't even acknowledge that there were even problems. I called MIcrosoft and they said" wow thats a new one on us", "lets try a clean reboot and uploading the new launcher for the Umpteenth time",ok I tried that a million times, I tried everything short of blowing up my comp. That game has serious issues.
