I've been playing all headstart and the server has been up constantly... As for your friends and their headstart codes, sounds more like the retailer's fault. The event however has been a mess and hasn't been working for a few days, but that hardly makes this a horrible headstart. The game has run fine, the servers have been up the whole time other than maybe one night at midnight where they brought it down for about an hour for maintenance.

So...yes. It has been smooth.

This will sound bizzare but are you making this up? I got a headstart without trouble, I've had no trouble on the servers and they've not been down once for me. We're all on the same servers so i don't see how we can have completely different experiances.


and I've not recieved any perks or pets for doing the alien invasion event either but I've also not bothered to try either because of how busy it is.

Which you can hardly blame them for. And looking at there website they've just addressed the community on a few of the big issues like game difficulty and are letting us know what there doing to fix that.

So far it's been one of the better game launches which is a miracle considering how badly the beta launched.

Myself and several friends (Colin Brennan included) haven't experienced any of these issues. The servers were down for a couple hours between 1am and 2am each night, just like open beta. Although I'm fairly certain that Cryptic has said that won't be the norm after today's launch.

While I'm sure there have been some issues I personally haven't had any problems at all with the game so far. Hopefully most of these seemingly minor issues will be ironed out for everyone else though.

I did design a character for today's Massively event though. What time(s) were planned for the meets?

I too have not encountered this problem.

I've experienced NONE of this. This person is either lying, or experiencing issues specific to them (ISP/hardware/etc). My guess is that this post is coming from a forum QQ'er that got banned or just wants to spread more misinformation about CO.

Launch has been good, the headstart event was frustratingly bugged, but the game is stable.
