I had no idea this game actually released, let alone is coming up on their first beta.

P2P. It's all P2P in the end anyway.

Severely limited character customization? Check.

Massive grind? Check.

Click to move? Check.

F2P/Item Shop? Check.

Yeah, has all the qualities of a shitty game I've come to expect from that company. But thanks for bringing more of the same to our attention.

 might be fun but i have a minimum of graphics on games, and darkfall is the minimum graphics i wanto play with a game :P.

this looks like N64 graphics, and graphics do matter to me as i like a beautiful area's to explore.......

???

I'll never understand some people. The graphics look great. I think you should actually look at some graphics from N64 before you make such ridiculous comments:

Major difference. And the Dawntide picture is obviously low-res.

Also, thanks for the heads up OP, I just signed up for beta. Looks pretty nifty. :)

Haha I've been playing the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer demo for the passed two days, and it's so much fun. I can't wait to get the full game. Everyone who has a PS3 and hasn't downloaded the demo, get to it to see what you think of it. It's done tomorrow sometime I think since the full game is released on Tuesday (in NA anyway).

There's Deathmatch (different types, for example: Standard, Sniper Rifle and Pistole only, Pistole and Grenades only, etc.), Objectives (Like similar to capture the flag, etc.), Co-op Objective (like, story mode co-op, but I think everything is different so it's not the same as single player, just stages, like this one is anyway), and Co-op Arena, which is basically survival against AI, with similar objectives to capture the idol where you gotta get the idol and drop it off on the other end of the map while fighting off the enemies to complete a round, etc.)

Only a limited amount of maps for demo, but there's quite a bit of unlockable stuff, so it's pretty awesome.

Back to it, I go.

One thing is for sure... why did they have to spread the abilities out to every 3 levels? Get my abilities at 10, then at 13, I get 3-4 more skills. Why didn't they make it so you get something every level, or at least second level? Sorry to bring up WoW as an example here, but one thing that makes it more exciting to level is that I get  talent point each level to add to something, as well as gear constantly changing, and new abilities (whether new, or upgrades) every second level to 60, then every level after 60.

I feel there's not near as much progression as there should be, and what progression there is is spread out too much. But that's just my opinion.

Also, the having to grind to 25 before the real game supposedly starts isn't fun, either. But that's the way the wind blows.

I know everyone says the Abyss and stuff is fun, and the game is better later on, but I find myself always getting bored with my characters at around level 13. I'm finding it extremely hard to stay interested in playing. I'd love to find this extremely fun and want to play it non-stop and all that, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

I'll try and force myself to keep leveling in hopes the game picks up soon, but we'll see how that goes.

It's not a bad game at all, I just don't find it compelling for some reason. I could be just burnt out on MMO's, who knows.

Many of you all having the same problem?

When I play these games, I never really think to myself, "man, it's a good thing these characters are asian or Eurasian, or whatever the crap they may or may not be. So goddamn hot, it's totally what gets me off."

I just like TnA.

Anyway, this is how anime is, and apparently how those who draw it like it done. It's a totally perfect mixed race, and I for one bow to our new Eurasian overlords.

So Elyos gets rolled on every server by Asmodians? Since its generally the same? O_o.

According to the stats on the site, it's generally like 48% Elyos to 52% or so Asmodian. A 4% difference doesn't equate to 'getting rolled'.

Not sure what that is, Mission Architect from City of Heroes is similar.

AE = Architect Entertainment

CoX = City of Heroes/Villains.

They're all the same, really.

I've never heard of this problem before anywhere. My suggestion is to do a fresh install of the game... maybe clean up your computer... do a defragmentation, get a registry cleaner, run your antivirus, get a program to  help with spyware and such for the helluvit, download Crap Cleaner to clean up useless stuff off of your computer, etc.. Generally make things faster and smoother. You could also just do a full reformatting of your computer instead. 

It's most definitely a PC-related issue. I've never seen a similar issue pop up on the aion tech support forums or anywhere else.

Well Jaina turns up at the end of the 5man icecrown dungeon and there's a mention of Arthus being the last boss, Maybe Arthus kills her.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p3/icecrown.xml

The Lich King: Sylvanas, thirsty for vengeance against the corrupted prince who sentenced her to an existence as an undead monstrosity, and Jaina, eager to find a flicker of Arthas's soul locked somewhere within the Lich King, have brought their hand-picked allies to this final confrontation. Arthas's true power may only now be discovered. Is there any hope in this mission, or does only death await?

If we do fight arthus in the 5man we wont kill him ofc, so maybe just a little scuffle which leave Jaina dead, at which point the lichking leaves.

You've quoted this paragraph. You would have had to read this paragraph to know to quote it. This paragraph spells Arthas correctly as Arthas... yet before and after the paragraph, you spell it "Arthus".

My guess is you've also played WotLK and saw Arthas' name plastered everywhere in text.

Read slower. Comprehend.

So glad to hear they're focusing on one set of zones as opposed to have everyone so spread out PQ's couldn't be done and open RvR was already scarce in the other areas that weren't in the Empire vs. Chaos zones anyway. 

Nice, I'll check it out. The music is probably the only thing I'll enjoy about this game - maybe.

Still can't believe they attached the Ys name to this POS.

I sure hope the penis has realistic flopping action.

I'm not certain of course, but I'm betting most people waiting in queues this evening are playing Asmo, on the US Eastern servers......

If so, they are just rigidly enforcing the server balance, which I applaud (even though I'm in the queue right now, 1K+) and it has to be done in a pvp based game like this.

Usually the wait on the US West Coast servers is less, but I'm not willing to switch, so I'll pay my dues.

 

Well I am in queues of 700+ on Israphel as Elyos.

There should not be server queues period. They knew how many copies of the game were pre-ordered, and they know the number that were made available in total, and they should've planned for a larger number than they did.

I've logged in three times this evening, and all three times on Israphel, I had to sit there for 20-30 minutes waiting.

For a couple days, I thought the queues had been fixed. I was getting in with absolutely no wait time, and suddenly they're back again in full force. They raised the cap for people online at one time, and reduced the private shops to 30 minutes max, and obviously those haven't helped, so they were obviously way off in their estimates if there's nearly 1000 people trying to log in but have to wait, when thousands of others are already in.

I enjoy the Aion UI. I never once thought it was clunky or a pain in the ass to do anything. But that's also not generally my main focus in MMO's. I usually adapt if the game is fun enough. I've played enough MMO's to know that I'll get used to things, and there are always options to change things around to make it all work.

After playing FFXI, everything else is easy to get used to.

People are still having queues? I haven't been in a queue since two days ago.
