What exactly do you think I am spinning? I was discussing my experiences so far. Others are also reporting no significant issues. The launch has been smooth for me but I'm not poopsocking it for 12+ hours a day either.
Obviously there is a major technical problem they have to get fixed. Like you said, standard MMO launch problem. We all expected it so nothing to get all bent out of shape over.

My /played last night before I logged off was 1 day and 19 hours. I've had my money's worth in the last 3 days.

Heh that's kind of a silly bet. The servers coming down or staying up at release is a fairly poor indicator of success or quality.
My server in WoW was down more than 50% of the first 24 hours of launch.

I think it's still in standard launch problems. It won't go into standard launch problems until this weekend hits and the server is down for most of it!

Explore and you will find a ton of xp quests. Read every bookshelf, and look for skyshards and tomes. Also if you followed the main quest to the island, go back to the main continent and do the quests in that town first. You can get the Mage and Fighter guild quests and start getting the fighter first skill, silver bolts. That is a gamechanger vrs undead and daedra.
The game is not perfect, but I will more than get 60 bucks worth of entertainment in a months time. Hell I already have. Oh and launches are always broken, it is the nature of the beast, but this has been the best launch to date out of all the MMO's I have played.

Oh, I am sure they are taking that $60 all the way to the bankI look at it as it gave some poor schmuck working for Sage a free lunch or two in a meeting or 6.
Rumor has it dev costs with the stop/starts along with start up costs of the company itself total over $200 million. (No source on the rumor) That's about 2 million boxes depending on how many were imperial and standard. Without attaching console development costs, breaking even on box sales is going to be pretty high on the charts if that rumor is correct.
In AD, still locked around level 8.5 because I have no level appropriate quests that aren't bugged, my main quest is gone, and I don't feel like grinding out mobs forever with the XP nerf to NPC's to get to 10. But yeah, I would have been on Dawnbreaker. I'm sure I will check it out again in a few weeks to see if things died down.

That's exactly why I did it. It didn't really have any bearing on the quality of the launch, just that I thought it was going to be a free Watch Dogs game on my desk come May 27th
I thought it was a win win. Looking back I am not sure I would have changed the bet. I mean how many server crashes have we seen in every MMORPG launch since they came out? Pretty much every game I can remember had their servers brought down within 24 hours, if even a small hiccup. Their servers don't crash, the entire game just goes wonky instead. I am guessing he was betting on that. (He didn't win much...HE thought he would have someone to play with that he knew I think was his only reason)
One half day of downtime in the launch week is pretty normal. If they are out for a whole day I will agree.

Pryda most likely did it the same way that other French guy did to get lvl 50 in 17h : ring of mara powered group, bashing NPC camps and moving on. Also regarding Pryda exploiting or not, he livestreamed his entire leveling on Twitch, therefore I would assume he's pretty legit.
Your main quest isn't gone. Once you do the first stage at level 5, you don't get the next stage until level 10 and then it automatically gets added when the Prophet comes to meet you. You would think someone who played in the beta would know that.
There are plenty of functional quests in Auridon for someone level 8. Only major one that was broken got fixed in the patch today.
The Prophet meetsyou? I remember he called me to go see him in some hollow cave and then you had to go rescue Big Barda from spooky jail.
Where she would bug and not break my fucking wall down which, no amount of logging/reclogging wouldn't fix. (last beta)
You sure you played all the betas and don't know that? I only played one and remember it.
Can anyone please, please answer this before I waste time trying it?

This is what I was expecting. He just stops talking to me now. I am guessing this is one of the changes PTS saw before the game went live?
Either way, Rescorla, I can show the game as content and stream it to you over a video connection device if you would like to see what is happening? I did all the POI quests that I could find. They also show as such on my map. I had 6 broken ones. I am sure there are one or two I am not finding but roaming the wilderness, but ... I would rather the game worked.
Your memory is failing you or you just want to quibble over semantics. A visual projection of the prophet meets you. It typically happens the first time after level 10 when you zone out of an dungeon, quest instance or use a wayshrine.
You're really trying too hard. Perhaps you should start trolling the thread for Lord British's new game?
