I'm neither ripping Cryptic a new one nor letting them off the hook on this. It is what it is.
There is very little they can do to simulate a real world load other then slowly ramp up and hope to god they estimated correctly.

However I'm still of the mind that this was rushed because of the money involved. Lets be blunt here. The longer it is closed the less revenue they get from the yearly and monthly users.

IMHO Cryptic should have given it a month more with beta. Ramping up with preorders getting access 1 full week in advance, not a weekend. Yes it give us a huge headstart and invariably there will be newbes that will ***** (EDIT: I always love intense forum filters. If I use a moderately bland word the filter allows anyone to fill in a more extreme and offensive word by way of their imagination. So are you really helping by filtering out my word?) , however the load would be much more realistic and the telemetry they get off their servers would be more robust and give them an idea of what is going on. what we have here are two piece of the puzzle. The server side software and the client on your desktop.
this weekend is the equivalent of a beta 2 on the server side. I wouldn't even call it a release candidate at this point. The desktop software is pretty good (ground combat's camera and getting stuck in a mother loving corner, still sucks my left butt cheek though.)
My guess is within 2 weeks this thing will be pretty solid assuming Monday\Tuesday doesn't complete destroy their server farm. However right now....it half baked.

the way I look at this so as to not keep getting annoyed.

From here on out, when someone *itches about the game, I'm going to tell him/her the truth. This game
is still in beta testing and they paid for and agreed to test the product for Cryptic.

Now with that said, I just ask that Cryptic address the myriad of bug reports and work towards making
the game stable enough for a retail release. I won't bother asking for a date as that is like disproving a negative...something that cannot be done anymore than they can give a date this game will be ready for retail.
