Support NeoGAF

[joelseph]

I'm going to eat a Poptart and drink some Rockstar while I wait everyone.

 

[MThanded]

Seems like a bunch of streamers are at end game already?

 

[op_ivy]

This is sure stupid

 

[KodaRuss]

I am in!!!!

 

[Gator86]

Yeah I think this game sold an obscene amount of copies

No way it's not in the top couple sales numbers of the year. Regardless of what Bungie put out, this was going to be gigantic.

 

[shermas]

aayyyyy im in.

So.. You went capacity, then terms and conditions, then in?

 

[zoodoo]

Yesssssss

Im in!!!!!!

 

[Waylon Drums]

I was promised one moment. This has been several moments.

 

[ethomaz]

Finally in.

14 minutes.

 

[Trickster]

Watched part of the campaign just to see what it's like, seems okay. But the ingame cutscene at the end was kinda ruined by the silent player protagonist, it just feels awkward as hell to have a mute that's only able to react with facial expressions

 

[Foxxsoxx]

Haven't even gotten EULA and I started up the moment it unlocked.

 

[Jblanks]

This music is ridiculously good.

 

[Tragicomedy]

The people who were first? There's a lot of nanoseconds between 9:00PM and 9:00PM and 1 second.

So you think it's honestly based on who connected a nanosecond earlier? I think it's pure chaos.

Precision and MMO launches rarely go together.

 

[Boke1879]

Thank GOD I must have just gotten in before servers got crowded

 

[that_dude_guy]

I'm in!

On PS4, clicked go at 10:00MT, in at 10:14.

 

[Smokey_Run]

I got the license agreement immediately, but I'm still in line.

 

[Kill3r7]

Waiting. Got the EULA a few minutes ago.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Boom.

It's time to find out why this series is so awesome.

Also Bungie just barely put out a tweet saying that you "may experience a queue line" for the game haha!

 

[RichiRamjag]

F it, picked it up right before launch. Should be a good time with my little guy at least.

 

[Zok310]

Wow, been in line 15 minutes. If someone told me 20 years ago that there are line online as there is in real life i would have called them nuts... 15 minutes, wow.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm in

 

[ZeoVGM]

Thread is going fast so I'll ask again:

Do you guys know which sub classes each class starts with? Is it both except for the TTK classes?

 

[Crabernacle]

15 minutes and I'm in!

 

[Balmung421]

I haven't even been served the EULA yet 😫

 

[Trouble]

This is actually normal. Coming from a 20+ year SE who has worked on the server of a AAA game ;-)

It's really not and anyone running the show should consider this a failure. Paying customers having to wait 10+ minutes to play on launch day is a shitty customer experience.

 

[cpp_is_king]

So you think it's honestly based on who connected a nanosecond earlier? I think it's pure chaos.

Precision and MMO launches rarely go together.

Why wouldn't it be? The server is just sitting there accepting connections, dumping them into a queue as they come in. How else would it work? That's both the simplest solution from a technical standpoint, and the fastest.

Actually, it really is, but if you think it's not it's just because you haven't dealt with these kinds of problems in a production environment before, but still think you know better than those who have.

It's the new sub class for each class.

 

[Giftofgab24]

Anybody else 15 minutes in with no eula?

 

[wesleyshark]

Nice! You helped me spread that xp infection a while back... Let's goooooooo

Yasssss. Those were good times

 

[Tragicomedy]

I got the agreement about one minute past 9. Still in the second queue.

[KefkaPalazzo]

EULA! Almost there.

 

[theonerayman]

Boom.

Good luck and enjoy! Your first experience will be with the most dreaded and feared foe in all of gaming. The door boss!

 

[zsswimmer]

Good thing I don't have shit to do tomorrow. Just some nicotine, caffeine and my existential hatred of the same thing happening every launch of a big multiplayer game!

Luckily I got the eula like a minute in so this is the real queue

 

[DjRalford]

Woohoo EULA


More queue

 

[U2NUMB]

So those of you who picked it up at midnight physically.. what is it like waiting in a line after you waited in a line.

So stupid they are not ready for this.

 

[squidyj]

Im in queue, I have been in queue from practically the moment my system allowed me to launch the game, and I have no idea how much longer I will be in queue.

wunderbar

 

[CREMSteve]

I'd be upset if not for this fantastic soundtrack.

 

[psynergylover]

IIIIINNNNNNNNN!!!!!

 

[Zyae]

It's really not and anyone running the show should consider this a failure. Paying customers having to wait 10+ minutes to play on launch day is a shitty customer experience.

And yet it won't matter at all

 

[Beowulf28]

Got the EULA like 10 mins ago and still waiting...

 

[ViciousDS]

Lol

I had 6 hour queues for legion buddy, this isn't shit

 

[Nick_C]

Switched over from Yakuza 0 for this? Bungie pls.

 

[Crooked16th]

At least in The Division we got to stand in a in game line.

 

[SENPAIatLARGE]

I've crossed the breach.

 

[prepaidtacosalad]

So many people go from 0 to fucking angry so quick.

 

[johnFkennedy]

16 minutes and still on one moment screen. No EULA.

 

[Hawk269]

Waited 10 min, thought I was getting in, accepted the terms back to the temp. capacity screen. WTF???

 

[gutter_trash]

what happens if you delete a character in Destiny 2? do you lose him in Destiny 1?

 

[Tragicomedy]

I think physical proximity to the servers plays a role. There's a reason trading servers are located right next to the stock exchange.

We all clicked instantly, and here we wait.
