134231-disappointed

== Content ==
			All(well most) launches are...not very good. That said, this is a bit worse than average. Whether that is due to poor planning by Carbine or unforseen technical issues, we may never know. At the end of the day though, its just a game, and the problems will clear up eventually.

I truly understand your frustration but I think we need to be a bit open-minded. Just chill, the game wont run away and you wont fall behind on whatever you do. 
 
Again I don't want to sound like a douche but if people want to leave they are free to do so, 90% of them return anyway. They are a company and i'm pretty sure no company wants to lose their clients.

			I have to say, I'm very disappointed in how the F2P launch has been handled."Show me a MMO that had a successful launch." So you're holding the launch to the same expectation? Is it ok for launches/relaunches to go poorly? No. I forgive the initial launch. I don't forgive this one. They knew exactly what to expect."Queues are to be expected." I don't have a problem with queues. I have a problem with literally 3+ seconds of delay and being dropped constantly, only to have to reenter the queue for something that wasn't my fault."Lag is expected." Yes, lag is expected. But not 3+ seconds. A second is rough sometimes but bearable. 3 is not."Give it a week/time." Why? Why is it ok for a game to be allowed to have such a poor launch that there is over 3 seconds of lag and constant disconnections, forcing me back into a queue. The only reason why waiting a week will see an improvement is because people will leave, not because the game is being improved. Since relaunch, the game has gone through multiple "maintenance" periods. I use quotes because when it came back, there was no improvement in performance.Am I being unreasonable? Maybe. But in a day and age where technology is not only more powerful but more readily available, my expectations have increased.Will I continue to support this game? Yes. Will I continue to pay monthly for it? Probably Not.

6h since last tweet and issue with being stuck in loading screen still not adressed.
I had entire day for gaming today - got 15mins gameplay.
 
As someone who doesn't QQ too much, I gotta admit I'm really disappointed in how today's day turned out to be (at least for me).

Of course I'd hold this relaunch to that same expectation, that way I'm not disappointed and full of "rage" when it bombs.  Every game so far "knew exactly what to expect", but yet they still are unable to plan for/avoid it.  Why should W* have been any different?  
 
 
If you know a way for any, if not all, of those issues to be alleviated, go make yourself a *cupcake* ton of money and sell your services to games so they can avoid it.

Though I haven't been active since day 1, I've always checked the forums. Based on what i went through with beta and how the first launch went, I saw this all coming. Unfortunately, it just doesn't make sense for them to open up a bunch of servers or increase their hardware specs (I'm not tech savvy) to accommodate everyone right now. More people are going to try the game than are expected to stay. This is even true for subscription MMOs. What will end up happening is we have a bunch of dead servers or money wasted on upgrades that they no longer need.
 
I agree that the situation sucks, but this is something that just happens. I agree that they could have handled it better. There's been more than one occasion where Carbine wasn't expecting a lot of people to try things out (like the name reservation fiasco).  It may even be as simple as they can't afford to handle as many people as they anticipated showing up.

			As a first timer wanting to play this game, I just signed up for a subscription and have already canceled because I can't even download this game....

			Im sure they work all day and night to fix this, but all ppl can do is complain.. Remember they are only humans.. they need sleep aswell for thier brain to function proberly as the rest of us. What i find funnny is that most ppl got no clue on how hard things are to fix, its not like you just restart server and all is ok. Give them some credit for thier hard work, after all you do get a free game, so you really got not reason to complain. And ppl saying they dont care is just stupid, ofc thier care about the game running smoothly, else they wouldnt even concidered making the game free, they would just have shut it down instead!. So patience ppl :)

			Considering how long they had to prepare for this, especially this being their second launch, I have less sympathy for them. People try to compare it to the relaunch of FFXIV, but A Realm Reborn was so drastically different from the original XIV it may as well have been a new game. Wildstar: Reloaded is the same game with a cash shop and some small quality of life improvements.

Horrible experience since F2P launch, simply horrible!
The value of my subscription is null with the high levels of lag and frequent realm crashes that have transformed the game from entertaining to unplayable
