So I guess I was right in thinking that Auction Houses, Talisman Making and High setting graphics won't make it to launch since they haven't mentionned them in a month :(

 

Latest Patch notes has them all now live.

 

where can we view the patch notes? if we were in preview weekend are they  available?

It's my understanding that this is still under NDA and in actual fact Myrdek shouldn't really have posted what he did.

Right now I just want to play the game.  :)  The bad thing is Open Beta characters don't really matter.  I just want the real game to start.

 

I'm actually NOT all that excited about Open Beta.  I'm MORE excited about Head Start, because THOSE characters won't be wiped.

I'm not sure how much effort I'm really going to put into Open Beta, because of that really.  I'm also just ready for the "real deal."  I wouldn't make a very good closed beta tester, because I can't STAND when characters get wiped.  LOL

While I will dabble more with the OB characters than I will once release rolls around, I will still take my role as a 'tester' seriously (I've always done so for 14+ years now. I even still have my first 'Team Beta' T-shirt and mouse pad. Yes, they used to give things away to testers. I use them both on the opening day of any major Beta Test/Release for good luck!) While I enjoy the 'review and play' factor of OB  and recognize that a lot of the meaning behind it is stress testing the servers, there will always be those unfortunately bugs. I will try very hard to notice them, if possible recreate them and then log them. Who knows what we might find as OBers that will help the game 'fixes' that go in at or after release.

I'm looking forward to the open beta just to get a feel for the classes so I can decide what to play as a main. I'd have wiped most of those anyway.

I already did all that Preview Weekend.    I didn't sleep.

Just some advice for open beta, but everyone can do what they like of course.

If you plan on doing the open beta, some suggestions for not having to do the exact same thing for head start might be to do your leveling in another classes area.  For instance if you are a dwarf, why not for open beta go to the empire or high elf area and play those quests/etc.  Then when the head start comes and your character counts you can simply just play all the quests and such in your own area, unless you planned on doing this to begin with.

Another option is to simply not play your main, and try out the other class and races to get a feel for them. You never know, you might just enjoy something else.

Just keep in mind that your character will not stay so don't invest too much time, and try to just enojy the game and get a feel for everything.

As far as the patching, just remember that when the official launch comes there will more then liekly be another patch possibly topping off things from the open beta.  Also remember that it is still "beta", open or not, i'm sure mythic won't be showing us just everything.

I plan on doing that.  My main will be a Marauder so during open beta I'll play the other destruction races.  Really I just want to spend time getting a feel for the game and UI so I won't waste time doing that during the head start.  I'll probably stay in the first tier for open beta.

    Where did you hear about the patch size and when will it become available to download?

 

Read that in one or two WAR fan site-forums. Most probably Freddy's House or at WHA
Look around and you'll find it, also a good place beside those forums (there's so many good ones out there actually) is WAR data base

I'm eager (and longed for many months and I dare to say, years...) to play WAR, specially OB since you can try out diferent characters without carying too much about the twicks and spec. Doing that helps to make a better char afterwards sicne you probably tried other careers you might feel more prepared for upcoming PvP - RvR, knowing how to conter oponents.

Cheers...

P.S. - see you guys in a few days for OB.

Hey guys just because the closed beta test is over doesnt mean the testing is.  There is still testing going on, however that is all still covered by the NDA :P

It's true that CB or OB is still a test but I don't see the conjunction between OB and NDA... NDA is over.
Be aware that OB is only 20 lvl cap... Think about it, it actually means quite some thing; hence the question: why really bother with NDA  now*? - Seems now such a trvivial thing...

The game has change already in some minor details, just search and look around.
I may be a bit harsh for those who haven't follow WAR, for those, then, I'm sorry but please do look and search.

Cheers

edit : MLecl0001 , I don't think, in this thread, people said OB isn't a test.. If someone said it then I'm sorry, my bad, I probably passed to quickly over some smaller posts.
Oh and btw, I wasn't even in CB but, like I said, I've been paying attention to this new MMO for quite a while ('06 already) so...
*I was asking this because it's not the only thread or post asking about it.

Sorry for double posting but I wanted to send this to all new and older posters to WAR Forum on MMORPG.com:

See you this 7th Sep.!!!!

Cheers to all!!!!!!!
