There's latency issues in prime time.  It is very noticeable if you play a pet profession, your order your pet to attack and it takes 2-3 seconds for your pet to react, same thing when you attack something and your pet that is supposed to assist you, just stand there, doing nothing.

Graphics lag is minimum, first time you enter a zone you'll get some hitching but it goes away fast.

Game will be closed before that.

I'm a beta tester too, only been playing for 1 week so far.  I have to agree with most of the point the OP said.  I tried almost every classes (to 8-10) so far and i just can't find one i'm having fun with.   They all pretty much plays the same, it's just the same attacks with different names.

Combat is really buggy at times and feel sluggish.  Sometimes you pull a mob and it will start to come to you, then go back, then charge you....   most frustrating thing is that you will target a mob, start shooting and it will not move for like 4-5 seconds then all of the sudden it will come and just as you get ready to engage it in melee it will run back to the spawn point and reset back to full....

Playing a pet profession must be the most frustrating thing to do, your pet attack when he feels like it, sometimes it will just stand there doing nothing, you will often engage a mob and your pet is nowhere near you, they get stuck often.   I dont see how pet professions will be able to play in RVR with colision detection.....

As a melee characters you often need to spam the same 2-3 attacks, this cause your AP (Action Point) pool to reach ZERO very rapidly leaving your characters doing mostly white strikes.   Sometimes an attack seems to be available to use (no timer on the shortcut) you hit it and it will says it's not available....

As a range characters the bow animation is ridiculously overdone.  Each time you fire an arrow it's like you trying to hit a target 5 miles away, your character is literally aiming at a star. 

Casters have spell pushbacks just like in WOW, you get hit the casting bar go back half a seconds each time, it's bad when your spell takes 3 seconds to cast....

I havent played much RVR but from what i seen, range characters dominate.   If you play a melee and try to kill someone you will most likey get killed by a range or mage character before reaching your target.

I'm glad i'm in the beta, they still have 1 month before release to fix all of that, if nothing is been done i dont see myself buying this game. 

 

 

So your going to be changing your avatar soon then?

LOL !  Dont get me wrong, WAR even tough it has bugs is still 100 times better then AOC.

I feel bad for you it took you 3 months to realise Funcom incompentence.

Questing is not a grind.  A grind is killing/doing  the same thing over and over and over again.

Each zone has a specific numbers of quests, doing these quests will get you levels.  Progressively quests will lead you to the next zone where you find new npc's giving you new quests.

So you go from zones to zones through questing.  Is that grinding for you ?

Mark confirms the NDA is dropping today.

It's not this weekend.

Can't open betacenter at all right now, they must be doing something.

They wont tell how many subs they have, they'll probably try to give us some meaningless numbers again, like shipped copies.

It was posted 2 days ago on the beta center :

Update - 8/11/08 @ 6:30PM

Please note, while your invite email may have contained information to access the Beta Forums all new testers must use this page for Beta Updates and will not have access to the forums. We apologize for the confusion.

Thank you!

Problem is some IPS provider while allowing a good amount of bandwith per month while downloading, only offering a fraction of that when you upload.

My package for example is 20go / month in download but only 5go in upload.  48 hours after having started downloading the client i noticed that i was uploading 7-8  times more than i was downloading, so i basicly turn OFF the upload to a maxmum of 5kb/sec.  

I have no problem sharing, but MAN when i download at 15kb/sec and sharing what i have at 90 kb/sec i have a problem with that.  I dont want to blow my monthly bandwith in the UP category just to download a freaking game.

Lacks of seeders seems to be the main problem here.

The problem with AOC and Vanguard was

1-Funcom

2-SOE.

This is mythic, they know what they are doing, DAOC was highly succeful.

Seems all the classes in WAR are highly define in their roles, either DPS (Ranged, Melee, Magic), Tank or Healer.  Is there any hybrid class that can do a little bit of everything ?

i swear, I must be the most torrent-illiterate person out there.  I've looked up everything I could, tried every adjustment, port forwarded on both my router and my firewall, and I'm still only pulling down 35 kb/s on average.....

At this rate, see ya all in the open beta 

Do this :

48 hours with torrent = 20%.

5 hours using the download trick : 100% completed.

Now anyone know when the beta will actually open, i can find that information anywhere.  They are not saying any date in the email or the beta center.

Torrent sucks.
