So, anyone get into any of the Beta's? I got an email today saying that i got into the technical beta, which takes place on Sunday March 2nd. I get to try out Capture the Flag or Annihilation PvP. Should be nice.

I didnt get anything Unfortunately when i applied i had to use my old pc spec as my new PC went on fire , again

Cant wait to play it though.

Hiya,

yeah got my mail this morning too.
Im testing beta on sunday. YAY! :D
I signed up for beta with 4x mail accounts and 4 different PC's.
Im already downloading it, so far its around 1GB and not even a quarter of it done.
Did you noticed that the link to part 12 is actually part 11 and i had to rename the link source to part 12 manually.

I cant wait.....

Ah, humanji, i'll make sure to let you know, in glorious detail, how brilliant it is...I wont actually tell you why it is brilliant, as that will (probably) break the NDA, but i'll make sure to let you all know how much i'm enjoying it

Kiith

Bah, its an 11.5gig download

yaya i got mine:D

humanji

Ah, for the love of f*ck, how come I don't get any beta invites? It's because I'm ginger, isn't it!!! B*stards, the lot of you. I'll have my revenge. I'll make my own MMORPG and only I'll be allowed to play!

Kiith

Eh, i'm ginger too

And this is my first ever beta invite. I really wanted a Warhammer one, but i suppose i'll make do with this

humanji

Blah, blah blah! That's all I read

Steven_in_Cork

He he,

finally all downloaded and conan patcher fully completed.
Im ready to enjoy it.
Its only a technical beta, and its a once off 3 hours only on sunday.
Further betas like the proper game beta still has to be announced.

Actually not too bad, for those not choosen .
Real beta, we will still have to wait and see...

Have a nice weekend, i will, and it will be bloody and violent.

IgsTer

the real general beta has being going on for months now

although you wont hear much about it as even saying your in it will break there agreement..

Steven_in_Cork

Thanks for the heads up.
So they possibly expanding the general beta with more users over time.
Ahh well, check your mails daily.....

Kiith

Holy crap bags!! I'm installing it now, and it requires 21gigs. Thats a total of 33 gigs for the installer and game. This is getting out of hand i tells you.

Also, i'm guessing no-one else can log in yet right? Its just i'm getting a username/password failure, and i want to be sure its just cause it doesnt technically start till 6pm, rather then theres a problem with my account.

Beta is live.

Well folks, who got in.


Any dissapointing features yet? All good so far?

Kiith

Ok, i;ve only been on for a little while, as there were some problems creating characters as first. So the graphics are very nice for an MMO. Some great animations as well, and i've been on the recieving end of quite a few decapatations. Combat is good, you basically click 1-5 for regular melee attacks. You need to focus on specific areas, which arent as well protected. Spell casting is...well, spell casting. Nothing new here.

I tried a Necromancer first, and will try a melee class now. Will post more later.

Grr, now i cant login again.

humanji

Aren't you not supposed to talk about any of this?

Shhhhhh

Kiith

Well, i havent really said anything that wasnt shown in video's, or was in the description of the beta, so i dont think i'm breaking the NDA. Or at least i hope not...

I didnt even manage to log back in, so i only got about 1hr of play. Which for an 11gig download wasn't the best.

Hercule

severe login problems and name changing bugs (2 and a bit hours of no gameplay) aside i finally got achance to test

oddly enough the game feels VERY "beta" - it needs a lot of work which i cant see getting done in the next two months considering they have had 2 years to do these things

omg dont start

Steven_in_Cork

I loved it, its real nice.
Server was real bad for 2 hours - unplayable, but got extended 2h of test.
They sorted it fast enough considering its beta.

Guys, when did you email to get this Beta. I only applied about 2 weeks ago.

Steven_in_Cork

about october last year.

I mean i registered on their website last october and got a confimation email last monday (7days ago)

Steven_in_Cork

Another Tech Beta on sunday for 3h .

Just received another email for an additional test this sunday.


Hope some of you get in too...

Bah! I really want to play this! Oh well, suppose I'll have to wait til mid May like most of the peseants out there. Suppose that's better too, wouldn't want to start another MMORPG a month before my final year exams!
