it baffles me that people still dont understand the concept of a single company having different teams to work out various issues almost everyone you see on the stream is not even remotely qualified to fix the issues that are cropping up most of them are CM's art team or the story team

How does the one thing that goes unchanged get broken when everything else that changed works?

Even AAA single player games that literally have zero server issues to worry about have crappy launches due to bad code and rushed production. No matter what, Carbine/NCSoft are a company. Wildstar Free to Play had a deadline, and no matter what, they had to meet it. You can't account for every variable. They also have to take money into account. If they dropped thousands on new servers just for the F2P launch, then watched as all the players trickled away making that useless, would be a huge hit. I'm not trying to white-knight Wildstar, but honestly, what did you guys expect?

Explaining facts when everyone just wants to rant? Sir, you need to calm down. :P

Anyone who thinks that game studios should not improve with experience and eventually learn to launch perfectly is just sheep. It should be the goal of every developer to perform like professionals, not just to expect failure.

If you think this is the worst launch ever I guess you haven't played many MMOs. Lol

It'd work if you tried to make a character on Warhound. You're kidding yourself if you think you'll choose to play on the most populated WoW server when Legion comes out and expect to get in in less than an hour.

{| style="width: 100%;"

i dont agree with you


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

Any ETA? Do the devs have any idea whats going on?

I'm stocked up and have the day off tomorrow as well. Hopefully we can jump on before my body tells me to grab another red buil. :P

Atleast with WoD people were able to make a character *snickers*. In all honesty tho I can wait to play I got stuff on other games I need to get done anyways, seems like a good launch to me. Just idk I'm not a dev or anything but have they tried looking at there authen servers for character creation maybe they accidently left in a piece of code that still requires you to be a paying member idk v.v.

MMOs with lots of servers is an outdated design... GW2 is a perfect example of a megaserver. It has shards that can expand and come online as needed and never cause any downtime for anyone. Wildstar, like most newer MMOs, is most likely using a similar feature and frankly it would take them 15 min to bring up an new server if they wanted by why? Who wants tons of servers with the population unable to interact... That is the point of the megaserver design... to let everyone play together. I admit GW2 is a master of this design and refuses to share their DB design but it is beautiful how it runs. I dont think Wildstar runs that well but there should be no need for a ton of servers even with high populations now days.

They've just scheduled maintenance in 20 mins for the PvE realm. Hopefully it'll work after that. If you want to play right now, try the PvP realm.

This was so glaringly apparent when Unity introduced their completely fubar 2D Framework. It was like no one actually sat down and tried to make something complicated with it. Subpixel rendering problems, The implementation of Physics2D/Box2D being absolutely atrocious for all but the most basic things. No access to the scene graph to make it better. On top of all that, the component architecture lending itself to really *cupcake* poor coding practices. I could go on and on. Unfortunately the money made the decision, not the tech.
