Have we got any idea when the Beginner boxed sets will come off of backorder? I ordered mine the day it went up on HB and had a target date for shipping...but now it's in a "on backorder, no idea when" sort of answer.

I get the web servers being bled dry, but surely the load on the physical boxed sets were less than that.

Just a ballpark timeframe would be hugely helpful.

I'm new to the Pathfinder world (although a huge AD&D player back in the day). I went all in on the HumbleBundle, even ordering the physical Beginner Box.

To say that I'm disappointed is a huge understatement.

I certainly appreciate the issue with the web servers being overwhelmed (I'm an IT nerd), but capacity planning is a pretty big deal. Obviously the didn't anticipate the demand, and again, I get it...but you need to FIX THE PROBLEM. Do you not realize the massive PR hit they'll take (already taken) if they can't handle simple doc downloads?

I've done the "...wait 10 seconds" dance for 2 days, and now it just doesn't do anything.

Again, horrible experience. I'll chalk this whole thing up to learning about trying to deal with an org that is simply not ready for primetime. At least WOTC understands how to scale their platform during heavy user demand.
