Re: Whose had a chance to play the early release?
Very impressive.
Load times = MUCH faster
Combat = MUCH smoother (than beta)
Im on the PvP-RP server Cimmeron and it is very enjoyable. Questing is intese and fun. There are groups out there who are geared for ganking. But there are many more groups out there who are just out there to level.
When i turned level 15 I got in a group with some other guys in TS. It was very fun. Very little ganking when your in a group.

Re: Whose had a chance to play the early release?
I just hit 16, taking a break for the night.
Overall seems much smoother than beta, though I have noticed glitches here and there. Note to unholy assassins: don't use your consume souls ability in combat. It possibly only happens when you have no soul shards and try to use the ability, but your character will lock up and be unable to swing, use abilities or do much of anything but move. That = you die.

I've read on mmorpg.com that they are adding more servers, and that could only mean a good thing

Its night and day versus how the beta was. Much better. Now all I have to do is settle on a class, and I'll be golden.

Don't you have to settle on a class immediately when you make your character? Originally Posted by Grieg

Re: Whose had a chance to play the early release?
Yea, but he means that right now he has like 20 characters and can't decide which one to play. Which is odd, because I believe there's only like 12 classes. :P Originally Posted by SharinganTH1422

One class. One character. That's how I roll.

I'll probably take 2 (one I want and one we as a team need) and move them both at the same pace. Originally Posted by UnDeaD77

Re: Whose had a chance to play the early release?
I stayed up for 14 hours straight playing this game... stopping to eat. I've got 3 toons on the rp-pvp server and 2 on the pve. (sigh)
I'm slowwwwwly starting to decide to play Conqueror.
I got a good 6 hours of sleep so I'm back at it right now.

Conqueror here, with a Barbarian secondary.
As to why, I've played it through out the closed beta and just loved the ability to kick ass in combat as well as being able to buff your group.
For pure damage and mayhem though, nothing and I mean nothing matches a Barbarian. Let the bodies hit the foor...It's all in the Reflexes.

Re: Whose had a chance to play the early release?
Conqueror actually has more abilities and differing playstyles then all the ranged classes I played (including mages). I found that quite intriguing and it kept my mind spinning. Yeah, they're a bit mushy (no shields and no plate armor) and they dont dmg as much as an Assassin... but you can mitigate these faults with smart play and smart skill/feat choices. They DO have the most HP in the game though and deal the heaviest dmg of the soldiers. They're also the only soldiers that can dual-wield from day 1.
The other classes I've tried? Necro, Ranger, and Tempest.

Re: Whose had a chance to play the early release?
How'd you find the Necro and the Tempest? The Ranger (I'm guessing) is a standard bow and arrow affair, right?
