NAMCO BANDAI America ‏@namcogames 3m
Attention Dark Souls II Testers! It seems that North and South American players will not be able to log into the servers for this test.

NAMCO BANDAI America ‏@namcogames 1m
We thoroughly apologize for all of the confusion and issues. We will be rescheduling the Network Test for another date.

NAMCO BANDAI America ‏@namcogames 12s
We know this is quite disheartening and we thank everyone for their enthusiasm.

Sucks, but at least they a) apologized and b) are rescheduling. I really wonder what happened and who is to blame. SCEA or Namco. Only 1am here, but I feel bad for people that wrecked their sleep schedules on the East Coast just to play for a few hours. Bleh.

You really have to ask?

So they gave NA players the wrong time for the beta (2-5am when it was really 3-6am), and also didn't give NA the compatibility patch (1.02, we only had 1.01), so no one could actually login at all anyway. They scheduled another test for november 10 at the same time.

Basically fuck you NA, try again in 2 weeks, in the middle of the night (again).

glad I decided not to try and bother with the beta.

I hope those shields are pins or badges cause I'd totally wear them.

**Souj** · 2013-10-30 00:05

Oh wow, DS2 coming out in America before Japan? Is this becoming a big trend now? this and the PS4 coming out in Americamonths before japan and this a few days.
Has Japan just switched over to mobile phone games so much they've started to change their focus?

Yeah.

I don't know who started this bullshit but it needs to stop. I don't have a problem with pre-order dlc as long as you can at least purchase it at a later date if you want (BL2 did this). However this whole thing of having different pre-order bonuses based on where you buy it from is getting ridiculous and is never ok.

I'm paying $120 for the Collector's edition, I feel like I should get all of them. >_>

**fantasticdan** · 2013-10-30 10:49

I wonder if they intentionally made them look like shit as a fuck you to namco

well, this is only for japan so far.
Though I suppose it's not much of a leap to assume NA will have something similar.

**Elcura** · 2013-10-30 11:08

You never zoom into low poly.

**Souj** · 2013-10-30 11:26

Have they announced what shields won the competition thing yet?

**Darkmagi** · 2013-10-30 13:34

Those look fucking terrible. I hope they are awful.

Hearing reports and confirmations that the EU DS2 servers are up from some odd reason right now. Get in there!
