Silver Striker posted:I don't have any data with me, but I don't really think that's the case anymore. The most prominent one I can think of is WoW's initial launch where Blizzard had a lot of server stability issues because the game was a lot more popular than they anticipated. I think they even had to stop selling copies of WoW for a bit. I think things are generally better now. I would definitely expect things to not be 100% perfect but I don't think we'll see any catastrophic failures. I could be wrong, though, and watching stuff crash and burn is half the fun FFXIV last summer. Actually I'd say more often than not any game that involves heavy online dependencies is a poo poo show on day one. Still, I think that will be minimal with Destiny.

I must have been super lucky because I never had issues with FF14 2.0 or Diablo 3 (well, aside from the game itself) at launch  I don't really count SimCity (2013) as a game, though. It's more of an unmitigated disaster.

There will always be hiccups with huge online launches, there will probably be lag and maybe a lot of disconnects for the first 5 hours. Gotta remember this launches on a school day which will smooth out the population more evenly.

Elder Scrolls Online was a massive flop when it came to servers crashing on launch day too.

That's the same code I got.Zedsdeadbaby posted:That's the first thing that came to mind. 'From the creators of Halo and the people who bought you Call of Duty' was plastered prominently over a lot of Destiny media. I can see how people can make the connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS1BM9XRgvw

I was unemployed at the time so I just logged in first thing in the morning and played all day  Thinking back though I do remember having issues with the instance servers, especially the first few weeks.

I really think that when this game arrives there will be considerably less violence in the world for a while, and it's thanks to Destiny. Putin has kids, and they're massive gamers. Baghdadi too. They will command the armies to chill.

Destiny Behind the Scenes It seems like a pretty good chance that the footage they show at 5:46 is from the Vault of Glass. Jumping puzzles look like one big part of the coordination that raids require. I played Megaman 2 a lot, put me down for the xXMLG_Pro_RaiderzzXx clan.

Sounds good to me, I miss jumps in FPS games. No shame in falling to your demise a time or two. Sounds promising, perhaps indicative of some creative level design.

I love people who are bad at jumping puzzles. It's fuckin mario. e: Also shouldn't really be a surprise, the trailers have had shots of that jumping puzzle w/ the disappearing platforms for as long as I can remember. Trash Trick fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Sep 2, 2014 |

I hope every raid is just that speeder bike sequence from Battletoads, and if anybody in your raid crashes, you all start over from the beginning.

The best part about the review brouhaha is that it means that Bungie / Activision are almost definitely going to throw a buttload of money at servers for launch day. Imagine the reviews if all the reviewers have had to wait until the 8th or whatever to even get their copies and then they can't play because the servers melt down. Makes me pretty confident for launch day. Outside of that I don't give a poo poo about reviews: monkeu posted:best game ever 100 / 100 gently caress all other games

Yeah I really can't remember the last time I read an individual review. I just look at the metacritic score but more importantly I just read the SA thread to see how many active posts there are and how angry they are.

Snackpack Backpack posted:Jumping puzzles look like one big part of the coordination that raids require. Any word on sliding block puzzles? A Tower of Hanoi? Personally, I hope there will be a gate where half the players have to stand on a pressure plate then the other half run through the gate, at which point they stand on a pressure plate, thereby holding the gate open for the players who had just been standing on the first pressure plate.

Is there a way to modify what your guardian looks like after character creation (as in hair styles and stuff)? From the beta it definitely seemed like some cases of "hey this looks good in the creator", but then looks like poo poo once you load into the Tower.

For the main clan I will probably open it up as soon as the game launches.

While we're killing time: Monkeu, where do I recognize you from? Did you host some of the old Halo threads or post in YOSPOS/YCS or something? Your name stands out to me, but I don't remember why, or even if it was because I liked you or thought you were a jerk. e: Whatever I thought before, I do not think you are a jerk now.
