So far, being a level 5, and not knowing what to put a single stat in, or skill for that matter, I give the game play a solid 8. Very FPS style, though you can scroll back the zoom and play d2 style7. You are still behind the player, not above so to speak.

The weapons can be socketed, and also removed from the central hubs (town, but not really), and you can also take an item and pay a machine to add a best friend mod to it, with 3 levels of quality, at a cost of gold of 100, 500, 1000, respectively.

That's all I know. It really is a FPS-style game, but with your hack-n-slash feel. Game has a soft cap of about level 22 atm. 5+ more weeks of Beta, so we shall see what it is like at the higher levels.

Kinda fun aimlessly playing a game for the first time.

You know you lose beta acess for leaking ANY information right? Reporting.

@ pvp: not too sure, have to ask. But I am guessing not.
@ game: I really like it so far. No idea ofc of what I am doing, how to build and whatnot. I know the balancing of the skills/weapons if not set yet, so I am trying to not find the best build, but just wing it and see what happens.
@ fee: Not sure if it is released yet what a monthly fee is, but I will ask that too next time I play.

I'm pretty sure there will be a $9.99 fee for subscribers and a realm that you don't have to play monthly as well.

I believe there is more changing/improving content for the subscribers.

@ Nick: Yes, I do believe so. Not sure exactly what will be given to the subscribers exactly though. Speculation is more char slots, stash, maps?

@ Tim; Now you wait for the email telling you you can start the download. They are letting people in in waves as they basically stress test the servers and whatnot.

hit me up when you get on, I will make a new low level char.

There is a monthly fee UNLESS you choose to be one of the 150k or however many it is that gets to do the $150 one time fee....if you dont do that limited offer it is a monthly fee of 9.99

Beta will be going on for at least a couple more weeks, maybe up till release. No date given. So you can still be one.

I had about a day inbetween beta codes and email saying I was good to go (give or take).

Go on the forums Tim. Just nevermind all the dickwads who are bitching that the game lacks content. It's beta, and we only have a portion of the game released to us, so how can we even talk of that. Their forums actually piss me off, too much "this game fucking sucks" attitude coming from people who don't have any reason why the game sucks, or opinions on what needs improvement, just simple brainless comments like "skills suck" etc.

As for the release date, it will hit the shelves on Halloween as promised. They have stated that many times on the forums. And ofc the game will be patched a few times in the first few weeks, as most games like this are when first introduced.

cant get on forums yet...

From your opinion so far does it look like they can hit the shelves on time? I know they wont give hardly any of the game away for beta but, you can tell if it will be ready in a month by the amount of bugs/errors/balance of the game so far

No idea. We are still playing on the alpha servers (not that it is alpha, but i don't think the "beta" has been released to us. entirely yet). The Devs have been playing a completely different version then we currently are, so it is hard to say where they really are with the game.

so how do you jump on the one time fee train ?

Pre-Order the game from a site (different ones will give you different Dye Kits - special in game Avatar for your character) and they will give you the beta key.

Coming after the games release (I think) or sometime around then, you will be given the option to purchase a lifetime membership for $150 instead of the $10 a month fee. Basically if you play the game for 2 years you will have gotten a deal.

Servers Down Until Further Notice

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to unforeseen circumstances the server will be remain down until further notice. As we have more information we will update this thread but it looks like a few hours from now easily.

Due to this you can now post freely in all areas of the forums. We will be doing a forum wipe once more before the server opens. This is to make sure we have current information.

Thanks for your patience.

running full screen

turned everything down to see if the lag I was getting was on my end or the sever, and it was a bit on mine. My fps sucks at times. I have a 9800 Pro 128 mb, so it is not my vid card. Only a weak P4 2.28 and 512 RAM. Upgrading both very soon (before release) so I can appreciate this game.

U?

everything at highest setting @ 1152 x 864 but got it in windowed now, i like games better that way.

only had a slight bit of lag when first coming into town from a sewer or w/e. But I bumped up my cpu/card so hopefully that will stop. If not I will add 2 more gb of ram and do a full overclock.
ofc I am running d2 channel bot/ mfing and working on spreadsheets at the same time :).

It still seems a bit dark to me though even at high settings. And in windowed you can change the brightness for some reason( I am going to post about that in the forums) Took me 7 lvls to figure out that there are actual chests you can open, b/c it is so dark I couldnt see them. :doh:
