Y'all realise it is a beta that is releasing right? first 2 to 3 days you should be getting more disconnects and crashes to the point of it being unplayable. I don't understand how people can be excited for that.
don't get me wrong I am looking forward to horizons, but I'm just realistic in my expectations of how the first couple of days will handle. Enough not to make me jitty and sleepless
It will be the usual affair. There will inevitably be issues, especially with something this big.
There will be howls and cries, people screaming "it is not good enough" and they will want their money back, etc, etc. In the meantime FD will be diligently working in the background releasing patches, etc, and all will eventually be good.
I predict there will be a whole heap of new issues that will hit the servers under the strains of the new environments.
I am looking forward to seeing the beta though. We will get glimpses of things between the disconnects
It is just the way it is with projects this big.
Yeah there will be issues but that is usually what happens in betas. That's the point of Beta. Throw it out in the real world and find the things you didn't even think you should have affected and could not replicate in the small scale test environments.
I have been in software development for over 30 years and using the word Beta and Demo is usually a trigger for failures.
They will get there. But I think I will ignore the complainer threads on the forum, considering there are already threads blasting horizons and they haven't even tried it for real yet hehe.
