What? PLEASE let me know if you ever start running a business. I want to stay far away from that. You might actually have the worst business understanding of anyone who has openly tried to convince people otherwise.

I agree completely. I’m giving them a week too, I expect them to work their asses off this whole week and if things arent getting any better I’m just gonna be liek
“Aight, I have you my chunk of change. Good luck pals”
Also BAD choice of IMC to call it an Early access without letting us know they were not on top of things. (I.E. Game is progressing and you might experience errors) Then again…

I didnt read the terms completely… so yeah. Lol.

the only one who has a bad understanding is u lol…
and no one would recruit a 15 year old kid like u anyway…
i know exactly how it works and beside it isnt something i have to do thats why PR exist… and business people exist for u idiot…
a programmer doesnt do PR and business he does programming.
also i dont have anymore time to deal with your stupidy today
Wow, if the guys working on this aren’t imc internals… I pity them…
Having an unexpected bug, contacting imc devs, waiting for an answer, trying to fix it…
Anyway, what we are criticizing is the execution of this OBT.
First, the whole EA things is an obvious cash grab.
Second, they pretended that there weren’t enough players to justify an EU server, which was a blatant lie.
Third, servers were coughing during launch so they added two more servers.
Fourth, they reduced spawn rate in order to ease the server pressure and allow more players to play.
Fifth, servers started to become retard.
Sixth, it’s weekend and imc gives minimal support like they accustomed us to.
About the past :
I can’t defend such an execution.
They launched it like a fan game. It isn’t.
They should have overshoot their needs (particularly maps servers, since theses seem the ones prone to crash) and hired enough staff.
It’s iCBT2 all over again… (In fact, it seems to be worse) Seriously…
Like WHY are current(=today) servers not beefy enough to support the players pressure ? Like they didn’t sell enough EA ? Tsss…
Now they’ll take the backfire and it’s deserved…
edit : oh yeah, and I didn’t give a cent to imc because I knew that it would be chaos.
I just didn’t expect such chaos

The problem here is nothing special. I mean, it’s ok to have problems, it’s ok to be bad and so on… You know what’s the real problem? They are not on the forums to say:
“Guys, sorry, we are trying our best…”
“Hello Guys! So, here are the progress regarding to…”
“Hello Guys! Just a friendly reminder that we are working hard , even now to provide a smooth service to you…”
Blablabla…

Oh well, back to watching The Flash I guess.
And also, for the people that actually think they “need” a break, no mmorpg company in the history of ever would take a weekend break after an early access launch. At least they wouldn’t if the servers are in the state they are at the moment. But I guess common sense doesn’t apply to: BUT THEY NEED TO RELAX TOO!!!

I read them. Nothing that stated the game wasn’t in a “Ready To Release” state.
And before anyone says anything dumb about that term let it be known that the term is dictated by the PLAYERS. That means that if you’ve got quests that simply don’t work, server login/latency/lag issues that are not being addressed (silence is assumed a non-action/non-awareness of an issue… welcome to business), and that they were going to flip flop on how communicative they are with their community then you’re going to get vehement whiplash from the community.
For those of you that don’t know how business works the CONSUMER determines the RealValue.Quality of your goods/services not you. You don’t get to determine if your game (in this case) is AAA worthy or not - the players do. Period. Don’t like it? Go make a great game (like my team is doing) and you won’t have to worry about it.

I don’t really think it’s fair to compare this to Blizzard titles, LoL, Dota, and other mainstream/triple A titles. I mean, it might just be my experience but I don’t expect the same things from a F2P KMMO as I do from a company like Blizzard. There are gonna be regional differences here, too. How many people do you think they have on the ToS team? We have no idea what their shifts look like or who’s doing what here or over in Asia.
Anyway, it’s been four days. My decision on this is to let it sit and see if they start communicating a bit better throughout the week due to all the forum rage.
They won’t, we raged over this throughout icbt2.

Compare it to anything. Dragon Nest, Gw2, Aion, Tera etc… They all have the same things. Also, as I said. When Riot started they were even smaller than IMC and they had support 24/7. If servers went down, they were writing on the forum max 30 min later. That’s how a company works, and that’s why you hire people for these jobs.
Really, that’s something pretty obvious thing.

i think u need to go business school again lol. Consumer does not determen the value lol… the company does. why do u think a game cost 60$ if a consumer would choice it would be free and no games was ever to be released… oh god u even have a team? ye goodluck u dont. cause u dont even have a slight idea of anything lol. and your not even public. and like most things in usa they fail and lose all their money
True that. After people begin to complain a lot, its time to drop the cute staff member to calm us all down. We feel like the goddess has left us.(So punny!) Like, literally. Bring someone over IMC ROFL.

that’s where u are wrong lol… Riot does not have 24/7 support… and if they answer it’s because they like to check forum from home…
try check out all mmo’s in the world none of them will respond to you in the weekend or in the middle of the night. unless the team is from Usa or Eu depending on team zone
Well, that’s why you hire a big team of support and maintenance when releasing a game on the other continent. Ya know?
Thats obviously their bad.

Its really painful to see a really good game go plop because of management, as of now I’ll be seeing how this weeks fixes/communication will play out. Otherwise I just can’t recommend this to anyone atm.
Truth be told, I know that a lot of people wants this game to work and grow big, but as of how things are going, it will probably only go worse.

Honestly… I don’t even know how to explain to you that you just argued against your own argument.
So, according to what you just wrote, the company should have PR because the developers are busy fixing things and making new content, right? (If yes, we agree. If no, you’re calling the wrong person an idiot… though you admit you don’t understand business… though… then you argue how business works… I don’t even know if you realize how horrible your arguments are at this point lol)
IF they had a PR team then wouldn’t they also have a Community Relations team? (I assure you… these are different professions altogether. I’m not explaining it to you because right now I’m not sure you can understand it.)
IF they had a Community Relations team then why aren’t they on the forums talking to the community? The last post was two days ago by a developer.
So, according to your own argument, they are bad at business. Although, according to your own argument, so are you because, and I quote, “a programmer doesnt do PR and business he does programming.” Fair enough. So why are you talking so much about business? Do you or do you not know how to run a business?
Let’s tl;dr this sumbich!!!
You have both zero experience and zero knowledge, admitted by yourself, yet you are arguing as though you have at least some experience and some knowledge.
Oh. And now you’re running off because I’m shredding your arguments and you’re still too young (you implied that you’re 15) to understand how to respond to the reality that you’re wrong and others can see it. We’ve all been there. It’s called humility. Easily handled by just admitting it, apologizing, and moving on. I did it once on this forum already after mixing up two names… well… it wasn’t two names I just thought it was two names lol… it happens.
