The only thing Ive run into that impacted me was the trading post being down, which we're already all aware of that theyve been working hard on and testing to finalize the fixes. Ive personally not experienced any of the lag issues people keep reporting. Other than a few hiccups (likely due to my own connection anyway) that lasted moments out of the past week, everything has run smoothly for me. Overflow queues tend to not last more than a few minutes for me as well, and I have checked out 3 different servers so far. 1 Medium and 2 High. If youre picking a serve rthat is nearly always full.. dont really know what to tell you when you seem shocked by queues and consider them a "problem". Maybe pick a different server for now that doesnt have the long queues.

Some of the other problems people mention, like mail being down, is not a technical issue. It was intentionally brought down by them so that the people getting hacked could not have their stuff stolen, since mail is the only way to trade. It is not broken.

= 8 =

Everything is more or less a 10 for me. I do understand there will be bugs and random crashes.

But I seem to be getting almost regular crashes on zoning.  - 1 point

And WvW is so clogged that I have to wait sometimes 3-5 hours to get in, just to zone crash *grrr!*.  - 1 point

Much better launch then most but crafting is a bitch without the AH and I feel like they need to buff gold output just slightly. Only got like a gold and 50 silver at 50+ and my crafting supplies to make bars for armorsmith costs a fortune for me to smelt. I'm going to go bankrupt real quick.

Gave it an 8. Really enjoyed the launch, and the game was extremely playable / enjoyable.

Reason I can't give it a 9 or 10 is due to issues with account security & support, WvW, and the trading post.

8 for me.

I have not had any lag, and just had an issue the first time i tried to log in. On the first day of 3 day head start.

Waited a couple hours, then logged in and have not had a single time i tried to log in and could not.

Wish the forum and trade was up.. but that is not really a launch issue to me.

I know it was rough for some folks.. but guess i have been extremely lucky or something. Playing 3-4 hours a night with no issues. See some talking about lag in game.. but i have not had any at all. Strictly PVE so far so no clue on PVP.

Account hacked, support hasn't replied to me in two days.

I wish i could give my launch experience a "one" with more intense prejudice, but I can't.

on par with TOR

Rift handled it better, pretty hard to top Rift tbh.

I found this to be a terrible launch, however with that in mind the game itself has managed to change my mind from immediately giving up and heading back to SWTOR to actually being so sucked in that I find it difficult to log off, except when you suddenly get the message "New build available"

I never really followed GW2 however I am just so amazed at what Anet has been able to do with the game, pack so much into each area and make it such an enjoyable experience.

My son starts university in under 3 weeks time, he is an avid WoW player, however as his funds will be rather low I will be buying him GW2 for his online fix, no need to worry about that pesky monthly sub for WoW when you can play a triple A title for free, plus he won't have to fork out for a new PC to play it on.

This game gets a massive thumbs up from me, it has surprised me on all fronts.

9/10

No problems whatsoever bar some lag at peak times which is to be expected at this stage

I give it nine, because of the lack of friend joining and lag

 

when solved, 10 straight.

these are already solved xD

I gave the launch experiance a mark of 8, because it has not been amazing and has def had issues, but the core game is working fine.

I must say here though that launches come and go. The situation is temporary and I actually think way too much drama is put on stuff that obviously will be fixed pretty quickly.

Plus the game is good enough for me to cut it some slack.

So... little over 400 votes. So, that would be most people that play gw2 and read this forum, right?

Isn't it to small percentage of entire community to make any conclusion at all?

It is.

It's the same as doing statistic on xfire. Pointless.

That why it called an un-offical poll.

I'll go through the responds and look at the numbers.

Then on Sept. 28th I will do the other poll. That will be what people think of the game at that time.

Also... It could be a low number due to more people playing then reading this forum.
