135211-a-voice-of-reason

== Content ==
			
I stand here in an attempt to be a voice of reason. Common sense.
I am neither a white knight nor a disgruntled doomsayer. I am vet who has come back to FTP.
 
Reading through all of these topics all I see is black and white from most people here. It seems like there are mostly two sides.
 
Is there anyone else out there like me, who understands that:
 
1. Yes, MMO launches, re-launches, and major patches like these can have major issues.
2. Carbine was not prepared for how popular this transition would be. They had warning signs too. The buzz was high. They dropped the ball.
3. Carbine is working as hard as they can to fix it.
4. This is one of the worst launches or re-launches in MMO history, and is getting close to NA ArcheAge.
5. This might not be fixed by the end of the weekend.
6. This will put a dent in some new players trying the game.
7. It WILL eventually get fixed, and eventually we will all be playing and having a blast.
8. There are too many topics about these issues. Yes including mine.
9. You can take a break, get some fresh air, or fire up Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2 or any other quality MMO.
10. All of this passion is a good thing, it means we really like the game!

"worst" seems to be subjective to me and it's being used often because it's happening now vs something that has passed. So some are thier in the "eh, ill go do something else til lthis settles" or the "DAMNIT CARBINE GET YO ASDASDA TOGETHER!" camp with sprinkles of in betweeners here and there.
 
Overall I think that Point 10 shows a great deal of passionate interest for current and incoming players...

			I think it's fine if players leave whether for the wrong or right reasons/intentions. Since the game is 'f2p' now it's not going anywhere, and it'll always be ready to play (once they fix all these technical issues). It'll be much easier taking breaks and returning just like any other f2p online games compared to a required monthly sub

			I get what your saying but im really bummed out about this, I was really looking forward towards this game.

			This circle "cupcake" is so annoying.. At least give us a reach around carbine!. Inform us let us know how broken stuff is so we can just come back later. Having it up then down and not having anything satisfying is not a pleasent experience.

I think we all appreciate your attempts at expressing logic and reason OP, but lets face facts here... 2 WHOLE DAYS AGO (for *cupcake*'s sake it's only been 2 days...) Carbine said that people were no longer required to spend money on their game before trying it and now there are latency issues and patch implementation issues keeping a bunch of full grown adults from living out their fantasies of being a doe-eyed big-breasted squirrel girl in a fictional online universe designed to look like a Saturday morning cartoon from the late 80's for free AND THEY ARE PISSED!
 
No amount of reasoning is going to get them to accept the fact that it's not worth sacrificing their dignity over a f2p launch that has hit a bit of a snag, or the fact that the human beings whose livelihood depends on the success of this game are doing everything they can to fix the issues as quickly as possible (really, it's dumb to assume that they're not working around the clock to fix it).
 
Sorry, the silliness of what I see people whining and complaining about has made me a bit salty towards the vocal minority here 0_o

ONE of the worst not THE worst.
I think its in the top 10. Not only for issues getting into the game, but the issues of lag once you ARE in the game. Ive been there for almost all MMO launches. Ive seen it all, this is in my top 10 unfortunately of bad launch or re-launches. :(
But yes, its still subjective I guess.

			I logged in one of my characters yesterday, small miracle. she's not in a guild anymore. Turns out a bug disbanded the guild, it just dissapeared and everyone is guildless...... everytime I think it can't get anymore screwed up Carbine proves me wrong

THREE DAYS
 
World of Warcraft
Burning Crusade
Rifts
 
It's been three days, the game is playable when it's up, the install is not corrupt. It's not causing OS reinstalls.
 
If it's still bad in 10 days yeah. That earns it a place in the top 10 list.
Three days of connection issues and lag does not.
