I had to get my codes from a lippy Astromech droid and his companion an effeminate, golden protocol droid. Something about being on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.

To say this is a surprise is to be lyingFappy said:
To expect this train wreck to ever stop, is to not even comprehend the MMO playerbase, the only group of Hardcore gamers who will abandon a game because it plays like shit, because Bioware doesnt staff the wizards of gameplay that are required to make an MMO decent, let alone mediocre
If it was made by Xynga, it could be AS good as DA2. because it was made by Bioware, it cant even live upto Mass Effect 3Starke said:
You're right, nothing can follow the meteoric fall of the Mass Effect franchise. And it would be horrible to try to hold DA2 to such a high standard for failure. Especially since the game, you know, functions.toapat said:
I want to live in your fantasy world where everything is at least that good. Fuck, Alpha Protocol would be goddamn godlike there. Hell, Gothic 3 must be awesome in your world. To say nothing of Bloodlines or Arcanum... ...wait, a world where Mass Effect 2 wasn't written by a lobotomized eight year old!? I want your world, GIVE IT TOO ME!jonyboy13 said:
Just got mine... has my code, my server that I've been playing since early access has no queue at all.
Everything is going flawlessly on my end, minus the $60 for a subscription game.
Sucks for some other folks though.

I'm actually one of those people who got their games extra early (December 9), because of some logistical goof-ups. Everything I expected was in the box, and it's all been running smoothly and such.
The only bugs I've encountered have been the empty resource nodes, some path-finding issues, and a couple of enemies on Balmorra that just refuse to engage you in battle properly.
Queues... depend on when I try to log on. Morning to early afternoon (CET) is nice queue-free, but later on you can get anything between twenty minutes and an hour and a half. It's a fun game, though, with a nice BioWare story... plus MMO padding.

Bugs? In an MMO? *clutches pearls* My stars!vansau said:
And no, not really. Haven't seen more bugs here, in a just newly launched product than in WoW that had several years to get shit sorted before I played it.
Server queues are completely manageable and nothing out of the ordinary, they'll be gone in a week or so when the server populations get stabilized. Raising caps too soon to remove queues would just mean further overpopulation, which is just counterproductive. Besides, anyone who doesn't like them can choose a ton of servers without queues, it's just that people tend to be stupid and roll on full servers for no reason (I understand if you roll with someone you know/a guild, not what I mean), then ***** about queues.
As for the whole no codes issue, yeah it sucks. But for anyone who pre-ordered, I hope they would be able to sort the issue before the grace period ends, I see no reason why they wouldn't. It's also noteworthy that this is probably a US-centric issue thanks to your retailers, considering EU got their copies days ago and could solve that issue several times over by now.
It happened with STALKER Clear Sky. Though that one had a recall and a delay to make sure the codes were in the box when it finally did ship.Johnson McGee said:
My favorite bug for The Old Republic is related. Apparently, it's possible to get an error while redeeming your code, so that the code is logged as in use, but not unlock anything on their account. There's a here [http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=37970] on the subject (you may need an account on SWTOR.com to view this.)
The best part is Customer Service is feeding most of these to chat bots that are passing themselves off as customer service reps.
they wouldn't have been able to play it anyway. I know a guy thats been beta tester since day one. Apparently for the first 3 days people had random disconnects, timeouts, crashes and to login back in they would have to wait 3 hour line, if their lucky that is. Sometimes you would wait in line and you get shafted back few positions even. It was pretty much unplayable anyway.
And then you wonder why people pirate games.... probably because at launch pirating is the ONLY way to play it.

Not sure about that, there are a few CE purchasers who say their Collectors Editions look like they were rifled through. But there are a lot of players saying their CD Keys are coming up as "already in use". Including people who got their keys in emails from Origin or out of sealed boxes.sleeky01 said:
I've had no problem with the product key myself.
As to the game itself, it's quite simple, if you like Star Wars, Bioware and/or MMOs, you need this game, simple as. It's a big bundle of well written love.

My copy came with two registration codes, lol. I bet for every person without a code, there's someone like me with extras.
I've only run into some launcher problems since launch. I was a beta tester for a long time and can say, most of the bugs that were in the beta are not in the launch client. The ones that are there are minor and most definately not game breaking.
The issues with server queues is people joining servers that are at high populations and are marked with "there will be x amount of time to wait before playing". So the wait times are pretty much all on the players. BioWare cannot control people doing things of that nature.
