What was your launch day like? - Page 2

Great launch!!

Got my A2A missile and certed flares as soon as possible and began tearing up all the new pilots

The only hiccup was the G22 error after my server went down. Took them about 20 min to fix it but i was all good.

I ran into a minor glitch here and there but it was mostly painless

Mine went like a Thursday.

Which is surprising, considering it was Tuesday...

Was great fun! Couple of sizable infantry battles, some good courtyard fighting - I guess it helps as all you organised types are rolling in groups on Miller.

Had quite a few moments like this:

1. Minimal resistance, all is quiet
2. *tumbleweed*
3. OH GOD THEIR IN THE WALLS AYEEEEEE

... as several squads turn up working in unison.

Fun

Crashed within about a minute, same thing this morning.

download and install went great, most hilarious thing was I got to play for 5 mins(time contraints for me)
Created my char on miller wanted to log in and check out my freebies and do a little character setup
Instead got drop podded into the middle of the NC advance on Esamir, 6 kills to 1 death while totaly surrounded gave me something to smile about on my way back to the spawn room in the TR WG.

It's what I like to call having a Zapp moment.

Sat there & watched the count down from 3 min.56 sec down to Zero & started downloading straight away .......15 mins later it was there ready & waiting !

Then I went and played BC2 ...........cos my buddy was having issues downloading it so I thought it was unfair on him so I`ll av a cabby on it tonight instead

Download/Install within 15 Minutes, straight into the game and no problems whatsoever the entire day, if you ignore the occasional flicker into crash that has been around forever (happened only twice, would happen a lot more often in beta.)

And then sat behind enemy lines with two mates, shooting rockets at people for hours and suicide grenading NC at tubes to ruin my k/d. Oh boy, will I ever get it back up? What will the world think of me now! I better re-roll

Great launch so far. Hope servers stabilize before I'm done with work today.

Nothing special, I played in the beta so I wasn't really hyped for it.

My first day went pretty well! I was up and running within an hour of getting home from work. I jumped onto teamspeak with a clan i knew from Red Orchestra 2 and jumped onto waterson Vanu. I ended up babysitting and teaching people how the certs worked among other things. Crashed a buncha liberators, stuff like that. (Totally getting a joystick for this game now so i can fly). Picked up the lasher and a couple other things. Oh boy! The lasher is great! People keep saying its trash but it is an -amazing- support weapon. 10 guys charging your point? Soften them up with the lasher and your friends will clean the whole group up.

All in all, it went pretty great. Did some magrider drives, flew a scythe. Vanu are OP. lol. Also, really enjoy the alpha squad skins for all three factions. Cant wait for my PS1 vet decal.

I've got to say this has to be one of the smoothest MMO launches I've ever seen. Kudos to the entire team at SOE for making it happen.

Dagron · 2012-11-21, 09:35 AM

Yeah, i had no problems at all either... too bad steam didn't get along with it for EU players though, there has been a lot of complaints at the game's hub in steam.

duomaxwl · 2012-11-21, 09:36 AM

Launch was extremely smooth for me personally.
The highlight of my day, however, was being reported as a hacker. I'm not that amazing, so hearing this kid cry that I was hacking and harassing him (when I just said I would show him proof I wasn't hacking) just made my day.

VaderShake · 2012-11-21, 09:36 AM

Very smooth launch IMO, expected issues were there but that was to be.....expected..??

Anyhow we will see how things flesh out of the next week and beyond, I expect issues and server down time for the first month.

Crysander · 2012-11-21, 09:54 AM

Well being euro my launch day started at some point in the evening, had it downloading within 5 minutes of the countdown ending and it finished downloading not long ago whilst I was at work. So my Launch Day had very little to do with anything relevant at all!
