Well beta 5 is officially over. Looted a purple item called Harbinger of Regulos but literally as I looted it and started reading it the servers came down. Saw a lot of things I enjoyed and I went from no intentions to buying the game to laying out for a preorder which i haven't done since Ultima Online. Few gripes with the systems and concerns of how public groups get handled in the long run but I see at least two months of fun from it.. hopefully more.

Ditto.


I must admit, I didn't expect the game to be that polished and addictive. I think this one finally cured my WoW addiction.


Hope it lasts.

To are making blanket generalizations and trying to imply all teh servers are horrible and you know how release is going to be.

I guess in your hurry to flame me, you missed that part:

The problem certainly depends off the population of the server you are on, but there is lag, sometimes huge lag.

And that part too:

My guess is that they will have exactly the same problem as WoW had at release on the most populated servers once they will open the flood gates and no longer restrict beta access to having a code.

But your reading comprehension is obviously lower than your will to mindlessly flame me whatever I post... so be my guest, keep on making yourself look like a in your next answer. The game is polished, and some soul combos are really fun, but sorry if I forgot my rose glasses and keep a critical mind on the negative points. Another worry of mine is replayability, which seems pretty low since the game is very linear and lacks leveling path variety.

Best beta so far for me. Lvl'd a 22 rogue, 19 cleric, 11 warrior, 16/11 mages. Every single class was fun to play and explore with. I know the game has some weakspots, but it's feeling like I could easily get my money's worth out of a ce pre-order.

You're a forum clutz you know?

Insane lag spikes bordering unplayability, warping mobs... we start to have a better picture of what this game will be at release today



Your blanket generalization.

Like I said at least two of the most populated servers had no lag issues whatsoever so your blanket generalizations are pointless. Your server had issues. The end.

You're the only one looking like a clown fellow. You outperform that role on this forum every day. Congrats to you.

What does the CE have over a regular preorder? I've never ordered a CE for any game, course I'm not a collector.. My EQ cd's are literally coasters in the upstairs game room =/

I read something about digital fluff pets but thats not for me. Something else I am missing specific to the CE?

Hehe typical kindergarten... a quote is annoying because you have no counterargument? just ignore it or replace it with something childish.

But I'm done feeding the troll now - everything will be settled anyway - I have a game to test more

As usual you ignore anything that actually conflicts with your bullcrap. There's a difference between being a troll and an outright ingorant fool. Arc and Spook have the trolling down, you've got the other half down.
