What’s that you say? It’s New York Comic Con Reservations Day? Without a doubt, all that will run as expected right around early afternoon. Unquestionably, they’ll have gained from every one of the issues that tormented NYCC Reservations Day 2021. Haha, simply joking. Today went comparably well as you’d expect any day that requires weighty server load on the NYCC frameworks. All in all, it didn’t.
The button on the NYCC Reservations page changed from “Not far off” to “Reserve My Spot” at 11:45 AM today, 15 minutes sooner than Reservations were scheduled to open. However, squeezing that prompted a dead page and a 404 mistake. Don’t sweat it, it was still early. However at that point 12 early afternoon moved around and tapping the connection actually created 404 mistakes. However, not a great fit for everybody. Certain individuals endured to a virtual sitting area while others actually got the 404 blunder. And afterward there were the people who clicked into the line through the application, which obviously took them to the 2021 board enrollment page. Unfortunately that 2021 What We Do In The Shadows board is totally reserved.
Twitter was on fire, as it forever is when NYCC tickets, lotteries and reservations go live and promptly crash under the heaviness of the interest. Surprisingly, their social group was tweeting out refreshes consistently, noticing each time the line was stopped and unpaused. Their seller, Thuzi, was dealing with it. This is similar Thuzi behind last year’s Reservations Day disaster. (Unexpectedly their Twitter page in a real sense two close to indistinguishable expressions of remorse a year separated.) For what reason did ReedPop choose to go with the very seller without confirmations that 2022 couldn’t be a rehash of 2021?
NYCC formally considered the present Reservations Day line’s season of death at 2:33 PM this evening. Thuzi would not have been ready to settle the server gives today. They’ll attempt once more eventually in the not so distant future? When? They didn’t say. What’s as yet accessible? They additionally didn’t say.
Furthermore, that last point, what’s as yet accessible, that is a central issue. Since not every person was trapped in an unmoving line or managing rehashed 404 mistake screens or lined up for last year’s line. As indicated by certain clients on Twitter, a detour interface was flowing among Funko gatherer bunches online that permitted individuals to slice to the top of the reservations line (Don’t get between an in-your-face Funko authority and their Pizza Rodent Pop!). Twitter client Bandon Henao (@brandonhenao1) posted receipts – a recorded Dissension look of Funko gatherers saying thanks to their detour connect provider after effectively bypassing the line. As indicated by Brandon and others on Twitter, Funko gatherer bunches utilized comparative detour connects to cut the line for Funko Fear Night tickets a week ago.
The central issue’s left? A few fortunate rare sorts of people who endured revealed having the option to hold signings and special features, however not boards? Did boards at any point open up today? Provided that this is true, what’s topped off? Ideally ReedPop/NYCC will tell individuals the responses to these inquiries prior to posing to them to bounce on another virtual line in the not so distant future. Be that as it may, my last inquiry is, the reason not return to the lotteries of earlier years? I can comprehend the reason why NYCC wouldn’t get back to the line up right on time and get a wristband model that was the same old thing for the initial decade of the show’s presence. Expecting individuals to arrange for the time being for hot boards and signings outside the Javits Center was both a hierarchical bad dream and a wellbeing and security risk. Yet, the lotteries, while somewhat flawed, didn’t expect individuals to need to land as a group on the NYCC site simultaneously. Individuals could sign in during a set time of days to enter the lotteries, and afterward would figure out all around ok before the show in the event that they won a spot or not. This appears to me, far superior to expecting everybody to attempt to fall in line simultaneously and sit at their work area or telephone for quite a long time while the site crashes over and over. In the event that they go with this model again in 2023, I figure we can expect similar outcomes as 2022 and 2021. Dear ReedPop, we should not reserve NYCC Spot Day Groundhog Day.
