WTH ?!!! Pledged at 3:02 with 725 EB left. STILL "Processing" pledge with NO EB left :-(

3:02 might have been too late.

Zombicide EBs go QUICK.

Yeah mine's stuck on the processing part, never seen that happen on other KS projects. Apparently in the time it took me to enter my info it went from about 250 early birds to sold out.


Also a link in the OP, that would be great.

I would think/hope that as long as you finished the pledge and you got the thanks for pledging page, then you should have your EB spot saved, and the processing is more of a billing kinda back end thing.

Argh, checked this 19 backers too late! Probably wasn't for me anyway as I think if I can free up the hobby funds I'll be putting them towards B-sieged instead, as I just love the look of that game, but man these things are quick.

Still processing here as well. Not very surprised to see Kickstarter's new payment system is worse than ever, but hey, at least they make more money off the top!

KS Servers are straining under the pressure.

Bones 3 will destroy KS if this is anything to go by.

Edit: CMON reporting that they're even having trouble uploading pics for an update, lol...

Interesting that Bones 3 will start right after this ends.

Poor Kickstarter's servers are really going to be taking a beating. I remember how fast numbers climbed at the end and beginning of both companies' previous campaigns.

Those are the moments I enjoy sitting and staring at numbers on my computers.

Any word on stretch goals?

I'm not really concerned if losing an EB costs me $10 but I am really surprised by the ridiculous log jam and processing time.

My pledge is still held up after almost 30 minutes. I see some saying the same thing in the comments but I don't even have access to add my own yet.

I can only imagine where this campaign will go and how all the add-ons will dwarf my $150 base pledge !!

I put in my pledge in the first few seconds but it just kept processing until the EB's were sold out. Really annoying.

Yup, mine just said they were no more available when there were 500+ when I got my confirmation. I'm a bit annoyed.

Over 580 EB's were available when it told me I was a backer... and now it told me they are all gone... but it is still trying to process my pledge.

Its only $10... but the principle of the thing leaves me cranky as hell.

I got the processing until failure 30 minutes later as well. I'll pledge for $1 to be allowed to point out this is unacceptable but there's no reason not to just wait and see what else comes along before the end of the campaign.

As did I...and even had a confirmation that I had an earlybird pledge, selecting the card info I had on file...but it kept saying 'processing' so I thought maybe my card was not being accepted...as I moved recently and my billing address had changed...so I went in to update my card info....but there was nowhere to do this. So I deletde my old card info. Went back to Zombicide, but couldn't get the pledge screen to come up to enter my new billing info...so had to go find ANOTHER kickstarter to instigate the 'new payment method.' I got all the info in and went back to Zombicide and my pledge was not registered any longer...so I pledged AGAIN. By now the earlybirds are all long gone.

But then...they didn't have an earlybird for just the base game + stretch goals, so I just pledged $100 and will get the expansion at 25% off retail at MM. That leaves $40-$50 for me to pledge for exclusive survivors and the like...

I'm still waiting for my confirmation email, despite there being 10 backers when I pledged. I'm curious to see what the actual total is when the server backlog clears

40 minutes after backing the EB when there were like 400 backers in it already, and now it says

Sorry, that reward is no longer available. Please choose another reward level if you would like to try again.

Got my early bird, I was F5:ing a search for "zombicide" so I got in about 10 seconds after it launched. Very excited for my first Zombicide campaign

Got my pledge in at 1 min past the hour and still waiting and confirmation.Reckon i lost my EB even though there was only about 100 gone at the time!

It won't even recognize my current pledge still. Backlog on this is killing it. Especially since we don't seem to get updates during it either

Backed as soon as it went live and my EB pledge timed out after 45 minutes or so of processing and went back to "back this project". When I went back in there was 1 EB open so I'm back to processing again I don't think it will hold though :(

Ha, I also just saw that there was one EB available and grabbed it. I'm processing too, same one you think?

I *THINK* I got an EB.

When I pledged there were literally zero pledgers.

I never got an official email confirming I'd backed the project, but it's in my list of backed projects, it shows up in my profile, and it says I've selected an EB pledge.

So I hope that means I actually got one. First time for me in Zombicide history.

Good God I cannot wait to see what Bones does to Kickstarter's servers!

It let me pick the EB pledge again, but I doubt it will go through. If not I'll just wait till tonight or tomorrow and go in at the regular $150 pledge

The comments section is going to get ugly (well, uglier than usual for a KS comments section) all over...$10.

And what is clearly something that is KS 'fault'.

CMON is really good at CS though, so I wonder what type of 'solution' they come up with.

A credit on the PM?

$5 or so?

Would people still rage over $5?

Probably, right?

Yeah, it's been up there for about 10 minutes now. And given that there were apparently hundreds (thousands?) of people who already thought they were getting early birds and didn't I'm sure that open spot is doing wonders for the queue.

I noticed the # seems to be climbing much slower all the sudden like it hit a wall. makes me wonder if it's cuz tons of pledges are just stuck in limbo.

NM now it's shooting up again. Guess someone had to reboot a server or 2

Yep, pretty sure the funding total is throttled while the steam-powered KS server tries to catch up.

The totals are jumping massively now $225K already looks like pledges are getting through. I'm still at processing.

EDIT over $330k now!

$330k now...

Jesus...

Logging out and then back in got my pledge to show up, but not as an early bird :/
