There's a huge problem with not enough mobs once you hit 20+ and go on to the pvp maps. Constantly fighting your own race over mobs, I mean it literally took a friend and I 45miins to finish a kill 12 mob quest cause everyone and their mom was grabbing them as fast as they could and if you got 1 in 5mins time it was considered lucky. Of course this will die down with time, but the mob spawns should be way more populated. 200+ people in a little circle doesn't go well. So that pretty much ruined my progress for Aion I have no intention of logging in anytime soon. |

It's tank, heal, burn, wth requires thought about that. This has been the MMO formula for generations, welcome to MMOs. I play Aion regularly I have a lot of fun with it but never once have I ever had to stop and say "hey guys this guy is tank type we have to do this differently." Never it is the same formula all the time, now when you get end-game content and you start facing end game gear dropping bosses well then you have more resistance or a strategy needed to beat that particular boss. That my friend, has also been in MMO for generations. So no Aion does not require more thought than any other tank, heal, burn MMO. To think otherwise is a clearly a fanboy approach. It looks pretty, it plays well, but it is no different. |

They are too busy swindling money out of investors to actually bother with the game. |

I'm amazed at the community that has absolutely no fuckin clue what is going on. Try to log on Zikel, ya it's fuckin after hours, people are sleeping to work in the morning I'll be doing the same in a couple mins and yet the fuckin queues on that server are still 2hrs long. Just because you aren't having the problem doesn't mean other servers are not. Is it my fault the guild I joined is on a highly populated server? No it's NCsofts for not stopping people to pre-select on a server already full of people. I give up, you people will never understand because you are so think headed. Anyone that said today, well go do something else, read a book, play tomorrow etc. Why the hell should I when I paid to play today, it's not my fault. They provided a service I can't use cause my server has a huge queue. Have I gotten in today? Sure after a 5hr queue that initial said 8hrs, only to get in for 15mins, booted out and thrown in another queue. If that isn't bullshit I don't know what is. This isn't normal, this isn't standard stop sticking up for a company that just screwed an ass load of customers and they know they did. |

There's no hope for this guy, he thinks everything is great cause he is fine. No problem with you, no problem at all. |
|
If I've been extremely vocal you could at least read the damn posts. I said there was a select few that had little to no queue but why should anyone who has set their server in pre-select need to move, specially when they are on that server for the guild. The server is Zikel try it, i bet around 2-3hrs queue up. |
|
Launch day yes, Head Start No. And yes many servers have gone done or the course of this day. When I got in for the little time I could till crash/queue it did play smooth no lag. The problem they have is population not lag. It's crashing cause they are allowing too many into one server, this would have been fixed by adding more. I know damn well they knew they would be sort, but just decided to say fuck it and let the customers deal with it. |
|
I suggest you stop taking one server into perspective and look at them all. Most east coast servers are still at the 5hr wait time to get in. It's bullshit. It's even more bullshit for someone to have to change to a different server that is less populated when the during pre-select they choose their server. Many people have large guilds that play on one server. Maybe you guys aren't the social type or something but there is more than just playing by yourself. |

That's fine, I'd be agreeing with you if it was an indy company or SOE, EA, Funcom, but NCsoft has a great track record. So I felt safe in my purchase, I felt they could deliver like they always have. No we haven't been deceived or even scammed, but screwed on the time we have purchased. Unless they compensate and even that won't heal the wounds but it's a start. At least then they are apologizing and know they made a mistake. But as I've been saying the ones who planned to play today cause it was their free time or took off work to dive a little into a fantasy, unless they went to a west coast server that had a small queue never will get in today or gave up trying. At any rate I gave up long ago, won't have time tomorrow so there was no reason to pre-order except for the shitty items that I didn't want any way. You win some you loose some but you can't help but bitch when you get screwed, that's why we have court cases and that's why their is returns in retail. When a product doesn't work as expected you shouldn't have to put up with, but in this digital world where almost anything goes, there is no hope at least yet for that. |

That I can totally agree with. |

Then we need a standard, it's not the customer's problem, it's the industry's. The customer is just following the trend, the industry created the mold of the trend. How can you honestly blame the customers. |
|
It's not normal that's the problem, it shouldn't be standard. We shouldn't have to wipe NCsoft's ass when they screw up and say it's ok we'll just wait. They are a company with a product that they are selling. If I went and sold an application that the client couldn't access or had limited access to, I'd loose the contract. These companies need to start being held accountable, fined whatever it takes to stop this lazy bullshit. No other industry can get away with, why the hell should they. |
|
I'd go along with your last piece there except for the fact you can't cancel your pre-orders once codes are sent out. Depending on when you purchased it you didn't have any clue to how many servers or how many people. The last minute you did, when canceling was immanent. |

Aye the 10min queue has been gone, it was the lowest queue but still a queue none the less. The point of pre-selection however was reserve your character on the server you wanted to be on. For those who went on a popular East coast server are now sitting 4-5hrs just to get in. The worst part is once they get in and they disconnect, guess what. yep queue of 4-5hrs. Enough to piss you off for the rest of the day if not tomorrow, specially if you made plans to play. I don't take off work for games but I there is a high percentage that do, so to those it's a stab in the back. |

Agreed. whatever. On a side note who ever said they can get on their server on entry is lying, every server has a queue I just checked. Look you can sugar coat this anyway you want to the point is, if I was in head start I wouldn't be bitching so their is obviously a problem and waiting 5-6hrs (assuming the client is even right, which it isn't) is ridiculous. When you shit it stinks and NCsoft just shitted a pile they can't deodorize. They had the numbers, there is no EXCUSE! ZERO! |
|
Then wtf you doing here? Get out. You have no clue on the issue at hand from experience. |
|
I told you exactly what needs to be done, if you can't comprehend that, that is not my problem. For the last god damn time, the population of the servers should have been regulated during pre-selection, there should be no reason for every server to hit high status on head start. If population was more than the server count they had they should have opened more, not just fuck the customer and throw up queues. Stop being a god damn moron and open your eyes. |
|
You're probably the type of guy that gets the wrong size pants/shirt and doesn't return them because you feel it was your fault. When you pay money for something you should get what you are entitled to and queues in head start are ridiculous. Servers need to be added yes, but the control of the population is what is needed to be done and should have been done during pre-selection. If you want to kiss ncSoft's ass go for it but don't say it isn't their fault cause it's 100% their fault. |
|
Ya, there is something that should be done about it. Calculating server population correctly. If you are too blind to not foresee this a problem a couple days away from now I don't know what to tell you except to take off your rose tinted glasses. The only server that was open with no queues has just crashed. What you have to say about that. It's a huge problem and opening day is going to be 10 x worse. Edit: And those who need to see proof.
That is terrible to hit all highs on head start. The population is massive for the server space available. |
