• • WAR has failed.

  • WAR "failed" the second they decided to use PunkBuster in it - period.  Everything else after that point pales in comparison to that horrific decision.

    Moving that god awful piece of code into the MMO genre will destroy any hopes the game ever had of succeeding - especially once the Everbalance team starts using it to their own favor like they have with BF2 and BF2142.

    I agree...this is the sole reason I have cancelled my pre-order.  I had misgivings when EA took over Mythic, but I nver thought they'd have the gumption to put this garbage on any MMO.  I got a HW ban from EB in BF2 for fragging one of their employees too many times because the sorry sap kept running the same route through my sniper field.  That was the last time I played that game, and since then I've seen similar things happening to others in different games that use PB.  They may claim they don't play the games they support, but it's shown on several occasion over the internet that not only do they, but they abuse the power of their software for personal gain in the games.

    I can now see only guilds with EB employees in them being in the game - any competition will not surprisingly be banned for hacking if they prove too superior.

    /sigh

  • Is it any wonder after the extend the DT of this horrid patch o'nerfage to 8pm Eastern? heheh

     

    Honestly if the patch is this much of a problem they should have postponed it's deployment until Monday so they get their act together and do it right.

    Of course the main forums are down, you think they wanted to see the result of this BS move on their part?? lol

    This, shutting down the forums to transition from beta to release is actually a standard practice. Many games won't even allow the public to view beta posts at all. So this isnt some conspiracy, no need for tin foil hats

    Yeah, thanks for the lesson sir.   But also, it's common practice to do so several days before any game launch, not 30 minutes.  You know, so that if people are having technical problems they can actually let the company know and try to get help?  Yeah, it makes sooo much sense to have them bring them down only 30 minutes before launch to clear them of beta information..keep telling yourself that big guy!

    Yeah their forums down would have nothing to do with probably 100,000 people trying to cram their way in there.

    Sure they would...if they'd not been taken down 30 minutes before the expected launch time.
