    Are you sure, users were reporting on Reddit so I checked and there it was.

    Edit: scrap that then, I was replying to your email alert but I see you've since edited your post.

    No "metadata failure for me" - Patch was approx 300MB.

    Pre 42million subscriber status added some free stuff to my hangar:-

    As expected, DFM is delayed from the "Second week of May", and will be landing at the end of May. Next week's Weekly Report will have the exact date, which will be available on Friday/Saturday.

    They've also announced how the staggered launch will work. All players will get access to the single player Vanduul Swarm mode immediately, and multiplayer access will be based off Citizen number (ie: order of backing).Exactly how quickly people get access will be down to how well the servers hold up and how many new ones they need to spin up.

    However, it sounds like they're putting an insane amount of polish in to the DFM. It barely sounds like an Alpha anymore, more like a Beta level.

    This seems fair. I wonder if we will be talking days or weeks for access after the DFM in launched for later backers

    Considering there are over 400,000 people to join, I think for people near the end we may be talking weeks :( I reckon the first 100-200,000 will be in the first week, but they'll then have to spin up more servers etc. Of course, I could be pleasantly surprised?

    I'd also note to all, you need to vote for the save on TNGS. I went for Four Horsemen, but Skyguard was a close second.

    Heh, I'm backer #431764 so I'm going to be waiting a while - which I am more than happy to do - serves me right for backing so late :)

    I'm catching up on episodes of NGS and all other things SC being so new to it!

    probably be first week for top 70k backers. After that 10k a day for the next few weeks if servers hold. Im just before 400k so not expecting multi acces to end of june if im honest.

    Delayed again till end of may they really should not give a date as all they do is annoy foke.

    I'm #74270, although I don't mind waiting if I'm not in the initial launch group.

    After all not that many MMOs are stable at launch anyways, probably a large number of queues and login failures etc for the first week or two.

    #389290 cya in a few days, once ive finished sulking :sigh:

    Oh well, to be quite honest its the Swarm mode, or simply a SP area in which i can get used to flying and the X55 stick without the frustration of being killed every 5sec by people.
    Would have been nice to have the MP lobby to create a private room with my BF&SC clanmates to fly around in together, rather than dogfighting, but that can all wait a little longer.
