thanks rmk70, I got the german response as well, and deleted it thinking it was a scam

i got a beta key and was thinking that didnt got invite but i checked my email of my trion account and the beta invite was there downloading right now hope i can play in the night.

pd: srry for my english

Im watching the live stream atm, and it doesn't seem that interesting. Firefall+Borderlands+more real art style... Will give it a go tho, Trion is awsome so they atleast deserv that.

The rocketlauncher rife thing is stupid...

your not missing much :) was over at my freinds house he keeped crashing.not sure if everyone was having the same problem

yes. Constant crashing. I like to take my time thinking of a good name for my character and it crashed on me like 6 times before i could create my character lol..... once i finally entered, the crash fest was unbearable and every time i entered again my toon was rolledback to the begining of the map. Other than that, the game is runs smooth and fine, and its fun when played with friends. Im playing alone and feels very repetitive. Hopefully the feedback surveys after every major quest help the devs add more variation in questing.

Man I like what I have seen but it is so unstable.  I crash to desktop constantly and the game keeps going down and when I log back in I'm back like 15 mins in the past.

It had its good and bad periods.  I was able to get several hours in of relatively stable gameplay by playing in off hours.
