[AESplusF]

I blame Amazon.com for those issues!

lol Amazon certainly isn't helping

 

[Vex_]

All of my games are locked wtf? Even the sfv beta. Wow. Restore license fail too.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

haha so fucking predictable. Don't do shit like this unless you can handle the traffic.

It's a beta

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

My bad, it's only 2 hours...here's the quote

"Daily maintenance will also take place from 11 p.m. - 1 a.m. PST to correct any issues and keep the experience stable."

I'm alright with this. Maybe I'll be able to get on once I get off of work.

Well I enjoyed my 30 min of play. Hopefully I'll be able to reliably play some more later

 

[Revengineer]

Perhaps, but he's right that this is the point of the beta. They need to try to find the what's wrong and get it fixed before the game is released. And this is an actual beta unlike some games where they'll call a demo a beta.

Sure, I agree. My point is - they're getting the data they need. The release should not have issues if they are testing and experiencing them this early.

 

[K.Sabot]

imma let you peeps mash it out and just go in when i see that people are getting in.

 

[rec0ded1]

All you that preordered and then cancelled from amazon clogging the servers...SHAME *ding ding* SHAME

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yeah we're lucky to even get to play the game. It's not a release, but expectations to play are still very high regardless.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

haha so fucking predictable. Don't do shit like this unless you can handle the traffic.

How do you propose they test to see if they can handle it without testing to see if they can handle it?

 

[TheSpoiler]

Why did I help any of you.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

I'd like to wager a bet that this will also happen on the game's release despite this beta.

That's a bet I'd be willing to take, because I highly doubt it.

 

[Passive Assassin]

beta is a blowup ...

 

[Kaako]

They probably running this on ONE EC2 server, yes, that must be it. Fak.

 

[Uraizen]

Hell yeah, crash their servers as hard as you can. I don't want stuff like this to happen on release.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'd much rather this happen now than on release day

 

[ExVicis]

All you that preordered and then cancelled from amazon clogging the servers...SHAME *ding ding* SHAME

This, like fuck you guys I made and have kept my preorder since the day they were available.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

haha so fucking predictable. Don't do shit like this unless you can handle the traffic.

Uh, the whole point of doing 'shit like this' is to actually find out if you can handle the traffic. It's a Beta, man.

 

[Hex]

Some people in here sure as hell need to figure out what a beta is and that it is not "hey play the game early for free".

 

[Wallach]

That jellybean just took years off his life...

 

[robotrock]

This, like fuck you guys I made and have kept my preorder since the day they were available.

I have rights too!

The game will be better at launch because of these people

 

[Fitts]

I'd much rather this happen now than on release day

Oh, I'd be willing to bet this happens on release day too. I'm planning on that being a training mode day... as well as the days when new characters are released.

 

[K.Sabot]

It's a little different when you throw down a preorder for a beta.

Just a little.

 

[Bob White]

I'll see you all at 1am PST when they'll update the black screen with a loading bar that gets to %100 then does nothing.

 

[Skilletor]

Be kind of hard to know if they can handle the traffic, or how much traffic there would potentially be, without a beta like this.

 

[Clawww]

i dont even want to play anymore this videogame stinks

 

[Nick]

I'VE PRESSED EVERY BUTTON.

 

[TheSpoiler]

It's a little different when you throw down a preorder for a beta.

Just a little.

That you can revoke, which many did.

So actually, people are getting in for free.

 

[FACE]

I HAVEN'T EVEN MANAGED TO GET INTO THE TRAINING SCREEN YET

 

[Slaythe]

That you can revoke, which many did.

So actually, people are getting in for free.

Not PSN buyers.

 

[HabeeNo]

Not going out anymore, so Imma just gonna blast the Marvel vs Street Fighter soundtrack while trying, urgh

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

I'VE PRESSED EVERY BUTTON.

But did you press ANY button??

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Is that stephen a smith on max's stream?

 

[Deadstarone]

I'm just testing how much on-fire Capcom's servers can be.

 

[K.Sabot]

That you can revoke, which many did.

So actually, people are getting in for free.

I'd wager 90%+ of the people who were looking forward to this did not do that.

 

[fader]

Somehow this always happens and people always react the same way

lmao!

 

[Gr1mLock]

The irony of phase 1 being the network test in light of the current situation is not lost.

 

[BokehKing]

Some people in here sure as hell need to figure out what a beta is and that it is not "hey play the game early for free".

But but the expectation to play?

Haha, nah I rather we do our jobs right now, which is stress the servers, and if we happen to get in, play it, and report on it.

 

[GuardianE]

I'VE PRESSED EVERY BUTTON.

You fucked up.

You were supposed to press ANY button.

 

[Fitts]

I'VE PRESSED EVERY BUTTON.

I forgot that the touchpad is a button. Imma try that next.

 

[Spinluck]

Is that stephen a smith on max's stream?

:lol

 

[Hex]

It's a little different when you throw down a preorder for a beta.

Just a little.

Yeah, no.
Do not try that considering people either A) get it from Amazon where they do not charge until the game ships and you still get your code and can cancel anytime or B) Gamestop it, put your money down and get your code and then cancel the pre-order.
No sympathy.
It is a beta so this can get knocked out before release.

 

[killdatninja]

It's a little different when you throw down a preorder for a beta.

Just a little.

It is different, I spent money on this. I wouldn't have preordered this early had it not been for the beta.

I thought I learned my lesson this gen....

 

[Kaako]

Be kind of hard to know if they can handle the traffic, or how much traffic there would potentially be, without a beta like this.

They need to learn how to Auto-scale properly within their net code. Then get a ton of load balancers for them bootleg game servers.

 

[Karsticles]

Has anyone actually gotten into a match yet?

Be kind of hard to know if they can handle the traffic, or how much traffic there would potentially be, without a beta like this.

They can always make projections, and then they should rent more than what they think they need. You can buy cloud server space that's used as needed. There's no reason for them to not be ready.

 

[Wagram]

haha so fucking predictable. Don't do shit like this unless you can handle the traffic.

That's kind of the point of the beta genius.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

haha so fucking predictable. Don't do shit like this unless you can handle the traffic.

You have no idea what you are blabbling about. No offense.

 

[Grakl]

This is a stress test, yalls complaints are funny

I've had two. Haven't been in since, but I'm off to take care of some business. This will be around in a better working capacity later. Time is too valuable to sit here tonight!

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

shit probably won't work until tomorrow.

 

[Absol]

Eff this. I'm gonna lick my stick
