so, all you people who said the always on server connection would be no problem... how do you feel about that now?

3/6/2013 8:53:25 PM

i'm still sitting at 10%, if it doesn't move soon I'm getting a refund

3/6/2013 8:53:55 PM

11%!1one

3/6/2013 9:19:40 PM

lol, don't be in such a hurry - you won't be able to fucking play anyway

3/6/2013 9:21:36 PM

A search on @simcity in Twitter yields hilarious results. Way to go guys. Seriously, I am simply waiting to hand EA my money until they can solve what seems like a simple problem that should have been worked out long ago.

3/6/2013 10:08:35 PM

ok, someone not on NA-East 2 send me a game invite

3/6/2013 11:01:41 PM

wish i saw that before i just quit. i have a region in europe east 2 i can invite a few people to. its not a huge region, but i have a pretty solid city going on there.

Pretty accurate review from what I'm told.

Is anyone actually playing right now? I can get into a few different servers, but it always says unable to create city try again.

3/7/2013 12:07:23 AM

I played for about 2 hours

and now my city doesn't exist

piece of shit

3/7/2013 12:24:15 AM

There is some sort of glitch in my fucking city. Trains will not come even though my station is connected to two other regions with train stations. It's really annoying.

Had a massive disaster tonight when I had brownouts occur during an event at the expo center. Lost 45,000 simoleons because of it and on the verge of bankruptcy.

3/7/2013 1:06:17 AM

I couldn't get anything to work in region view. It's completely bugged out for me.

3/7/2013 1:16:24 AM

I cannot believe they released this game in this condition. Literally unplayable. I swear to god that the only thing I ever buy from EA again will be FIFA.

3/7/2013 4:32:00 AM

it still hasn't moved at all, if its still sitting at 12% when i'm home from work i'm cancelling and getting a refund.

3/7/2013 6:38:40 AM

What a letdown. Guess I'll go reinstall an older version of SimCity to play.

3/7/2013 8:36:10 AM

Cities XL has its problems but its a decent alternative

3/7/2013 8:37:52 AM

lol, it's like we didn't learn from the Diablo III launch.

V, of any MMO, yes. Most games (Like SimCity) aren't supposed to have this problem. You buy the disc day one, you have a fucking great time.

I'm not having that bad of a time connecting. I had to sit in a 20 min queue last night but then everything went fine. According to Origin I have 9 hours of playtime.

[Edited on March 7, 2013 at 9:48 AM. Reason : .]

3/7/2013 9:48:08 AM

just remoted in to check on progress, the download failed. I have really fast internet at home, but it only got to 12% after running all night and now has failed.

3/7/2013 9:50:33 AM

The server gods let me play a little while last night. My city would have been better off if I hadn't. I had fire everywhere after spending bunches of money on schools, fire and pd. The problem appears to be homeless and abandoned buildings....but I can't seem to find what stops it.

3/7/2013 11:44:00 AM

Are you bulldozing the abandoned buildings?

Also, zone more low value R.

But since everything is "online all the time" these days you can only do that if the servers let you.

I am but it is hard to keep up. I'll try the low value R and see if that don't help.

i'll hit this up in a couple weeks when things settle down.

3/7/2013 1:29:17 PM

I tried to play a couple minutes during lunch and never got connected. I hope it is because they are fixing servers.

3/7/2013 1:30:20 PM

I'll wait til they abandon the connection to servers due to people returning the games.

3/7/2013 1:37:20 PM

^if they do that I will buy the game.

3/7/2013 1:54:53 PM

same. I'm not playing any pc games that are online only because you're too lazy to figure out a new way to protect your licences

lol, that shit said I'd played like 14 hours

Couldn't have been more than 3

3/7/2013 2:15:44 PM

they count playing time as when you sit waiting for a server lol

3/7/2013 3:05:39 PM

so I haven't played SimCity since like the early 90's. Should I get SimCity 4 now or wait until the server issues are resolved and buy SimCity '13? Does the latter introduce a lot of groundbreaking new features that make it that much better than its prequel?

3/7/2013 3:12:15 PM

^I have played and owned everything in the Simcity franchise since Classic. That said, I ain't touching this one for quite some time. I would not suggest you do so either.

3/7/2013 3:18:24 PM

i'm assuming thats a vote for SimCity4?

[Edited on March 7, 2013 at 3:38 PM. Reason : ]

3/7/2013 3:37:22 PM

Cities XL > SimCity4

3/7/2013 3:45:19 PM

ea says servers offline until 12 AM GMT.

so, 7pm local.

carlface

3/7/2013 5:25:40 PM

Cities XL is going to be the best option for quite sometime.

3/7/2013 5:43:43 PM

the playtime includes your setup/install time too, mine says 20 hours but I haven't played yet

Lolololol

3/7/2013 5:59:51 PM

I promise to only pirate EA games forever until the end of time.

3/7/2013 6:05:05 PM

i assume they will fix the server issues soon enough..

i'm considering getting this.. what server are you guys playing on? NA EAST 2? (once they become stable)

i've never really played sim city before, so hopefully the tutorial is good at explaining how it works so i'm not completely lost.... if i do end up getting it, who do i PM so i can join the "TWW" game?


lots of negative reviews have me on the fence

3/7/2013 6:33:17 PM

Do not buy it. There is still a lot of work to do on it and it is unplayable until they fix things.

Has anyone tried to get a refund or contest it with their bank?

3/7/2013 6:48:50 PM

^ this - if you haven't dropped money on it yet, don't

3/7/2013 7:07:31 PM

i'm going to give it a couple days then just do a chargeback. i'm not going to mess with EA, i'll let them work it out with my credit card comany.

3/7/2013 7:32:42 PM

ok, "EFF THE ENVIRONMENT" will be there for your trash disposal, ore, and some coal needs shortly

3/7/2013 7:47:25 PM

how do i find you guys (if i can get online)

3/7/2013 7:48:12 PM

piece of shit game

"no roads connecting you to this city"

it's the city right next to mine

and there is clearly a god damn road going straight to it
