Sigh.. three days of fubar Worlds sign ups. I tried.

By Lordtwann, in X-Wing

Trying not to complain. I know they're doing their best but there has to be a better way. Maybe a lottery of some kind. I don't know, I'm just really frustrated.

Three days in a row of trying and shut out because of collapsed web pages three times. Got so far as the order page this time before it froze me out.

I imagine by this point someone has that apology pretyped and is just sitting there with their mouse over send when they go live

Keep trying, twitter says that few/none were processed during the initial jam up, so there may still be spots open.

I'm very disappointed :( Man, I just wanted to play some X-Wing with the world... and the site goes down under load just like it has issues every single time.

Makes me wonder, if people actually DID get tickets during the crash... how?! Is it just random among the throng of people sitting there refreshing until it opens as to who gets through and who doesn't?

How do we even know how to find out if the system is allowing us to register?? They have 3 completely different registration systems and this latest (yapsody) just has a button that says "Online Sale Ended", if it's even a button. I don't even know if I'm on the correct page.

WORST.REGISTRATION.SYSTEM.EVER.COM!!!!!!!!!!!

A simple and flawless lottery system is what they should be using. These 3 systems are a complete disaster.

Am I looking for the "Online Sale Ended" thingy to turn into a "Buy here" button? :blink:

I can't even get the FFG website to load, so it looks like I am out :unsure:

Yeah, exact same thing here. Sucks a lot :(

"Congratulations! Your tickets have been delivered!'

On a half-rendered page without any other sensible information. No clue.

I've tried all 3 days (this time to help a friend) and the Paypal link on the 2nd day seemed the best. Very quick to process!

But that map at the bottom of the page is screwing up refreshes I think...

total crash I got in purchased a ticket and then it told me paypal failed and to contact paypal and I know the money is in my account :(

"Congratulations! Your tickets have been delivered!'

On a half-rendered page without any other sensible information. No clue.

on the half rendered page at the bottom I had paypal failed also did you get an e-mail mine said failed

I have no idea. I think I was suppose to be logged in to the page with a Yapsody account. I wasnt and I think I lost my 3 registrations. Unsure about all of this though.

How will we know when we should stop trying? lol

anyone on twitter I can't look at it

anyone on twitter I can't look at it

As of right now (02:38 BST).

What a complete cluster and embarrassment to FFG...

For a company that designs and develops complex game system FFG should know to use a submit & lottery registration system. It literally solves EVERY problem that can, and has, occurred with these registration systems.

Has anyone actually received confirmation of a purchased ticket to any of those games tonight?

I read that twitter status as "we're looking into other games and how their registration works"

thanks for the twitter update

I haven't been able to register for anything tonight.

I think they should open up for one game at a time. Don't make the X-wing crowd and the Netrunner crowd fight over the server.

They should have a FFG-con in a gigantic area where they can have tourneys with 50,000+ players for every game. No need to limit registration! :D

I got an armada ticket yesterday nothing tonight or tuesday

anything new on twitter

so if I can see if I can go to bed for another hours sleep as almost 3am here
