Oh, I don't expect to get beta access. Press are last in. I'd say we have the advantage of playing Guild Wars 2 at shows, but ArenaNet is pretty good about making sure the game is on the floor for all to play as well.

You guys win...for now!

Well you're lucky you get a chance to play it in conventions. I missed this year's Eurogamer, which wasn't far at all from where I live and by next year's Eurogamer, the game would have probably come out by then.

Why weren't you able to make it to Eurogamer? If you don't mind me asking.

I found out about it too late and couldn't get any tickets for it. It really sucks being a Brit, how I knew about PAX & Gamescom early enough to get tickets if I could, because they are advertised and talked about months in advanced. But nobody really mentions the Eurogamer Expo.

 

I miss the game show we had in London a number of years back. Cannot remember what it was called exactly but it was the first time the public could play Halo 2 and was a really cool convention. Now we don't get anything, and I cannot afford to go to Germany or USA.

After seeing the Giantbomb.com intern footage of HG I cannot believe this article - video for reference - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pyf_t7ZYjo&feature=plcp&context=C39c29cfUDOEgsToPDskLPNfrc_Tfg2duU-sP0cMmy

slow news day?

So is Huxley dead now?

Fool me thrice....yeah, i don't fucking think so!

 

Well I still play Planetside so I call that a big win, especially considering this announcement is about NEXT. When you think of the things planetside did back in 03 / 04, it was way ahead of its time.

To save people the time, here is the link to the English stream when it comes up

I love many of the games on this list, however Xyson should not be on this list, certainly when compared with SWG etc. Xyson was great for a few days,  until you realise there is absolutely nothing to do other than grind your skill up and up, then what? The combat is down right aweful. One day if development improves I would have it on my list, but right now its a whole bunch of pressing a button to craft stuff, and thats it. I would much rather the far more rewarding and diverse crafting of SWG

Update, i just left it a few hours, came back and the game is now in my download queue at last

Same problem as Lowbyyhn, but im not suprised, GFWL is the worst service known to nerds

Update from Twitter:

EVETournament

Update: We've decided to release Captains Quarters and new tutorials to test early. Now available to players at 12:30 GMT on Wed. Apr 20

why are we getting updates for this only now after they decided its getting closed down?

6 seeders on the client. Maybe my download will be done by launch!

Update to my Bioware Mythic saga. After telling them I should not have to phone them up to get this sorted, a rep from EA sent a message back saying somthing along these lines.

" I have read through your ticket and have assesed that it is a problem with gaining access to a character ingame. I therefore cannot assist you as this is an ingame problem. Here is what you need to do ingame to reach the ingame support center."

 

ARE YOU F*****G KIDDING ME. You read my ticket and this is what you think. Nothing about the part where i cannot access my account, or how I added the serial code of my game, the payment details and address. You really think that I did this to get my character back. You lazy arsehole you did not read a single line.

 

I am really getting angry now.

Was it something along those lines, or is that what he said?

This is 1 line from the message I was sent.

"I have gone through the e-mail and found that you are facing problem with the restoration of the character in the game "Warhammer Online". I am sorry to hear that you came across such an incident."

So yeah everything I said was waht he said just shortened because there is a lot more!

That sorta sucks.

 

But at this point with War, I'm pretty sure everything related to it is left alone on how it was.

 

IE, the 4 devs/few mods/couple people working there didn't have some big overhall when Bioware "took over". This game is in the crapper and they know it and most likely don't care to do anything about it. So while this is indeed "Bioware Mythic", it's pretty much just mythic.

No help should pretty much be expected in regards to what you wanted..  You could always try the forums posting to Andy and see if he can help you out.

I am a long term fan of Giant Bomb, this means I love Paul Barnett and Carrie Gouskos so I want to make it clear I have nothing against Bioware Mythic. However a support system for an MMO is very important and I must agree with you. I recieved the laziest answer possible from a support representative, other than completely ignoring me which they did the first time!

So a quick backstory, my hotmail account was hacked, I regained control but some arsehole had deleted most of my emails and all my contacts. Hotmail support where non existent but thats for another day. The email account no longer receives 90% of its mail so for the past year I have been using a new email on googlemail.

Nc Support -

This week I decided I wanted to go and play my NCsoft games such as GW, CoX and Aion. Mainly to give Aion a go again. I have the Username, no idea of the password. Sent in a ticket, within a few hours a reply came asking me for the details I needed. So I searched through the emails left on my hotmail, found the Aion serial key, searched paypal found the transaction ID used to buy aion. Within 24hours NC Support had concocted this and other bits of information into resetting my password and giving me access, as well as ways to prevent this happening again. Very impressed for a purely internet ticket based support. 9/10.

Bioware Mythic (EA) -

I had the same idea for my WAR account, I believe I have 5 free days on offer. So I have about a million EA accounts thanks to their games always requiring some new account. I was unsure what exact username I had for my WAR account, but in the ticket I provided every single handle I have ever used. I actually have a physical copy of WAR so the serial code was easy to get. I provided the Id required, address etc etc.

Now I tried this about a month ago and NEVER GOT A REPLY. This time I got a reply about 24 hours later. What did the message say? Nope, it was not my account. Nope, it was not requesting more details. It simply said call this phone number some time during the week. Oh great a US phone number on US timezone when I live in the UK. Thanks for your help Mythic.................. 0/10

In conclusion, I had a very easy, simple ticket experience with NC soft. Mythic has a very similar ticket set up, yet they dont bloody use it to help anyone, they just ask you to phone their number which happens to be overseas for me. GRANTED its my fault to some extent that I do not have the details, but I am the customer, and I am always right and in need of assistance. NC accepts this. Bioware shoves a phone bill up my arse.

The more screenies you post of this game the more excited I get to see it.

Really happy this game is getting such good press. Really looking forward to this after the dissapointment Champions Online was for me

This was really interesting till I hit the bit that said 8 v 8. I thought the PvP in a star wars game should be large, epic scale fights. 8 is not large and epic to me. I was hoping for fights in the 30s at least, similar to the pvp area in SWG where you get some really nice big battles going.
