No excuse. We paid for our Headstart, I could have gotten it 10 cheaper!
Anyways, I am not that mad right now. If it still doesn't work in 2-3 hours, I will get mad!

That's true. At one point last night there was a necro beside me casting crazy spells that were making amazing sounds. makes me want to roll one.

Only played very briefly last night-- went with a Charr Engineer. The controller setup worked like a charm but I need to study that button configuration and maybe tweak it a bit for my own play style. I definitely had trouble keeping track of which buttons did what.
I paid extra for this headstart when I could have gotten a boxed copy for much cheaper. Now my friends have played for hours and I won't until they bring everything back up again.

That's weird as hell. I included a .ini file that should load the controller configuration and game profile automatically. Can you check if it's there? It should be called Xpadder.ini and have a section that includes a line like:
Controller1File=Xbox 360 Controller.xpaddercontroller
In any case, try opening the controller profile manually using the leftmost small icon, after activating your controller. The controller file and the game profile are separate files, and I'm thinking that you're going to have to load both (the game profile is loaded via the middle icon that looks like a page with text).
Do report how it goes, please!

This is getting frustrating
I played three glorious hours last night. Should have stayed up!
Sadly yes. They messed up the launch and paying for headstart was stupid as there is none.

Yeah I was wondering about that and it would make sense. Since if not Id fear what it would look like haha.
But seriously it was so bad that I couldnt tell what was a player and what was a generic NPC at times. Thats how little people there were. Though with the Tigger on roids race that side was pretty crowded. So initially was wondering if it just had something to do with racial popularity. Same with the humans too.
I'm getting it too. I'm just glad a stayed up a little last night to make a couple of my characters.
Tried to get back playing as Ele, but just was not clicking like it did in the bwe, so now im back wondering what class to play
My melee roots are calling me, so i'll probably go warrior, but worried about large scale viability in WvW since the Ele handled that easily.
I've never played a Layton game. I just the art
*gasp* correct this, asap!

I got home last night at around 2:00am and played it until 5:00am. It was spectacular.
Major bummer that I can't log in now.

It's been three hours out of 72ish, lighten up. That is not "no headstart." Also, people paying more is retailers' faults and not ArenaNet's.
You paid extra for headstart?

I'm confused, why did you pay extra?
I could probably get a boxed retail version for way cheaper on launch yes.
Well... if you bought it from a retailer chances are you paid less than what you would have getting it from Anet.
edit: but no, you didn't pay for the headstart. I did, but it was £1.70 on top of the £33, so still a decent deal.

Though there still are folks who bought it directly from ArenaNets HP so with that being said kinda hard to say its a "retailers fault".
Thanks again, I'll try that. Looking at the Xpadder.ini it seems to be correct, it has the Xbox 360 controller set and the four profiles are referenced as well.That's weird as hell.

I'll load them manually and report how that goes

This is how these headstart things usually work, the early adopters get to essentially beta test. Nothing new, really... patience.
£35 at GMG for this digital version. :/

It's been up for everyone and down at the same time, so it seems this time we're not second-rate customers, for once.
Well, except for the bit about paying 20-25% more for gems than anyone else in the world. >_>
That's what I meant. I dunno, paying way under MSRP at retail on launch day is a foreign concept to me since I'm American.
Well, at least I played yesterday when it launched.
Wouldn't have much time to play today anyway. Just hope its back soon.

Im still impressed that for the most part when the game worked it worked great. Just that the whole server issues need to be ironed out. Once that is done am sure everything will be smooth sailing for the most part.

What Nvidia drivers you guys are using?
No problems with my 285.62 but the new WHQL drivers give me problems with other games so those are no no. Beta drivers any better?

Don't worry it won't get far, that patch is fucked up....

Still somewhat pissed I missed the start by minutes, and lost my top 4 names.
I was all set to spam the login button, but I wasn't expecting it to open up prior to the "3 hrs before launch".

The fact that everything is down, including Guild Wars 1, makes me thing this issue extends far beyond just their servers. They were saying in one of the last tests their ISP was having issues, wonder if we just completely brought down whoever their ISP is.
Yeah, its was super smooth yesterday.

So are the servers down or is it just a connection problem for new people trying to access the servers?
Addition: Went to bed at 4:30am EST, game was fine, just woke up at 9:40ish so I was curious what happened =p

Do they have something to inform users of what's happening?
It literally launched at midnight (eastern time) according to my pc clock
11:59 not able, 12:00 connected right away
And we got to literally beta test as well, so I'm not complaining.
The best bet is probably their twitter and facebook pages, which are full of the standard "We're aware of what's happening and working as hard as we can, thank you for your patience" currently, but get frequent updates.

Apparently the game is still up because some people are still playing, but when they patch the game the server didn't like the patch and it's causing a shit storm of issues...
That's cool then (except for the gems thing), guess I missed out when I went back to sleep.
It's understandable and not massively maddening, the only thing irking me is the name business which to be fair seems like a pretty bad idea, or at least poorly implemented from the start.
