WOW in space. No thank you.

I am the only to be really disappointed with the graphics?

It seems that you might not be in denial about this game not being as great as you had hoped. And attempting to convince the rest of us it is good, and not the same ole same ole that has been thrown at us for the last 6 years.

I dont think it's a bad game (hasn't been released so can't fully judge), but there's revolutionary about it, or even all that evolutionary about it. This style of 3 person button mash, grind, 0 skill has lost the allure for me, and many others.
For me that means I've already played it/done it. So that makes it a not great game.

Well, it seems we EVE folks aren't the only ones who have to deal with dev controversy and forum rage threadnaughts...

It appears that there are issues for folks who pre-ordered the CE version of the game (the $150 version that comes with a statue!). People ordered, thinking that they'd have a grace period from the end of early access until their physical copy arrived in the mail, say from Amazon. Well, as of tonight, the stance has been changed and there will be no grace period.

To further complicate matters, many folks who ordered through Amazon (and others honestly) have had their shipping delivery estimates... moved back several days. Some who ordered on the 21st of July (day 1) and thought they'd be getting the game on release day (Dec 20th) are now seeing delivery as late as the 29th. One person who ordered the CE through Walmart got an updated delivery estimate of Jan3.

Note, it seems Amazon, Walmart, and others will be shipping the standard edition in advance of launch day. This seems to only be impacting the CE version. Several of these online retailers are specifically stating that EA has expressly forbid the early shipping of ONLY the CE - at least that's what is being reported by customers on the forums.

So, early access ends on Dec 19th, and come the 20th, many of these CE folks will be unable to play (lacking their retail keys) for days, possibly weeks or more. Tempers are running hot as you may well be able to imagine lol. It's important to again state, that the no-grace period stance was announced... tonight. Previous statements made clear that there WOULD be a grace period to allow for retail copies to filter through the mail at holiday time.

Now, I'm not one to think this compares to say... $70 virtual monocles (and I said as much), but it is a real kick in the genitals for many people. I'd say this is quickly becoming the TOR forum version of Incarna rage.

Whatever, the real reason I'm posting is this:

A clever TOR forum warrior made this spoof, which is common enough I suppose lol, to describe the situation.

I present, a former leader of Germany (say until the mid 40s or so...), upon being informed his CE copy will be arriving on Dec 26th - not the 20th as he had planned:

I got my collectors edition today, and not for a stupid amount of cash. I got mine for the price they assumed it would go for.

Yes.. Give into your hate. It is the only way you can destroy me.

Okay - couldn't wait and bought the pre-release for an extra $5. ROFLMAO...

I am confronted by a severely and radically bad download process that requires craeation of about 4 different accounts including a master account for "Origin" that says it "may create an Origin account from my SWTOR account info". The crusher are the security issues. The security system has prevented me, a paid cilent, from accessing paid-for content. I am in a terminal loop where I have paid-for access codes and the system thinks they have "already beed used"... The customer support is so overwhelmed that they first say "we can only answer security questions via phone call", then the phone maze says, "We only answer security questions" and "Call back later". Um, but, I have a security question ... and when is "later" ???

ROFLMAO ... if you can step back and ROFLMAO. This is gunna go down as the worst release in the history of gaming ...

I'm sure two weeks from now all will be well and there will be light sabres aplenty blazing in PvP battles. I saw the vidz with toons wielding dual-double-beam light sabres. Can't wait to get there.

And to get in a dig on CCP :: my station windows ALWAYS open in the same position, with the same size and config as the LAST WINDOW OPENED across two accounts on two different computers. Can't you get your object inheritance rules straight ? Customer Support has given me a non-effectual fix. I have a feeling CCP will never get it right, and the BioWare dudes will get it all working after an admittedly rocky start up.
