Ok just for the record open beta testing is to sell the product, thats why its so restricted and they only let you taste some of the game, a very small bit of it. Then when it comes out your rushing to buy a sub and play what you couldn't try. Its all marketing and for us as players it gives us a chance to try a test classes we've been looking at for awhile and see which one we want to play.

Stress test is probably one of the least things in mind for open beta.

SELL SELL SELL

Level cap is 20, content restricted to tier 1 and 2 zones only. All open beta characters will be wiped before official launch of games.

For anyone who didn't actually read the pre-order page.

Yeah torrents dont work for me, i need an HTTP download but thats good news though, i just set up my account and entered my 2 pre-order codes

I don't see why people thought it would start this weekend. All they said that you would be able to donwload the files and put your codes in.

 

I'm getting my fill of WAR thought.

 

There is a beta. I'm in it.

Im making a guess that you can download files and put in codes and they will start beta next week, letting players get their accounts ready.

I was dissapointed when i found out, i thought it would be the 15th because of code activations and such. Oh well.

Wow that is quite possibly the worst insult you could have given either game. 

 

Agreed.

WoW is Paris Hilton on drugs, WAR is Jessica Alba nude. 

Best comparisson ever

ALL OPEN BETA KEYS ARE ACTIVATED AUGUST 15TH

Invalid? or Cannot be used yet? I could only apply my open beta code to my beta account, the other for the in-game items cannot be used yet. If its invalid you need to go to the Mythic Entertainment website and send in a general bug report or something.

LOL, ok just so you all know i have a level 70 mage on WoW so im not dissing with ignorance but yeah WoW is "Britney Spears" and WAR is freaking Elvis yo!

I don't know how much character customization we can make , but I would love to listen to the player who owns a Big Decked out Black Orc as my butt ugly, fat dwarven female pirouettes on his fallen carcass.

Your poetry moves my soul....

lol

I think my least favorite race are the dwarves, yes a very much classic fantasy race and yes being a big reader of norse mythos which includes many dwarf stories i still think they are ugly and dumb :P

I pre-ordered the newer deal for warhammer online which promises open beta codes through amazon, when exactly will i recieve my code?

Here's the question (for ME) that may make or break my excitement for the game. I want to be a member of The Green Lantern Corp! Will that be an option in character creation? I see Hal Jordan and Sinestro in The Sinestro Corp uniform which snagged my interest immediately, but will I be able to join those corps?

Well if you can't then it isn't DC universe is it? I really hope you can. Green latern corp ftw!

Everything I've heard about DC online says it's an action game designed for the playstation, not a true MMO.

www.massively.com/2008/06/27/dc-universe-online-details-emerge/

This game is described by Lee as a "kick-ass hybrid between a traditional MMO and a first-person action console game".

Character creation promises to be diverse, and all of the expected MMO features are listed:

character leveling, PvP arenas, raids, shared environments as well as instanced zones.

While you may not be able to actually play as Superman or Batman, you will be able to meet them in game, and even battle them if you're playing the villain.

similar to SWG and Tabula Rasa, both hybrids but still TRUE MMO

This is going to be a true mmorpg even if its faster and more action packed =P

Thanks for the reply, although that argument i posted took literally 10 seconds, to be honest i dont really give a crap about mmorpg business or grahpical issues, i played EQ2 for 3 1/2 years, as for the graphics i ran it on high quality suffering only minor lag in raids which was easily fixed using balanced. As for SoE they have a very terrible reputation of ruining games which is why i made this topic, the only success if you even call it a success is the everquest series (excluding online adventures) which nowadays are very very empty compaired to 2-3 years ago, even everquest 1 when i played it 4 years ago was 100x as populated as now. SoE refuses to fix common bugs and provide continuing content for damn near all their games. Im sure you could argue easily but who couldn't? I used to be an SoE fanboy but they really lost my interest lately.

 

To make this clear DC Universe will not beat CoH or Champions online. Why? because NCSoft has better developers, better control, and has a very nice and clean reputation ^_^

 

Good luck though

 

Now that you changed your argument I must say, I agree with you.

To tell the truth, as a pure game, DC universe may be better than CoH as I find EQ2 better than L2, but , well , we know what happens...

 

...

 

Well, there is NCSoft asian and NCSoft american, L2 is korean therefore not really a "real" mmorpg as it lacks quests and real dungeon experiences. I liked CoH because they did a good job on costume customization and the powers were beautifully done. If DC Universe can top that then bravo SoE.

 

First of all do some reaserch on Lineage 2 as it has quests (repeatables as well) and dungeons that are enormous.

I also suggest you look up what mmorpg actually means because it doesn't mean what you think with means.

Finally, stop being so narrow minded by acting like all korean mmo's are the same.

 

Lol, all asian mmorpg ARE THE SAME! repeatable quests? boring. Enormous dungeons of bad respeating textures? barf. L2 is the poster child of grind. Im only being narrow minded because thats all i can be after my experiences. Ive been playing mmorpgs for 9 years and ive yet to find 1 dynamic asian mmorpg. The only hope i have left is DBO (dragon ball online) god help us if it sucks. Im not trying to be ignorant im just expressing my feelings and opinions, i may be leftist at times but its a personal opinion thats all.

 

Woah, wait a moment.  Did you just complain that Korean MMOs consist of dungeons with all the same textures, yet you stated earlier that CoX was a superior MMO?  I played CoX for years, and in that time I entered the same exact building at least a hundred times on missions.  Likewise with caves.  Not only do they have the same textures, they all have the same design! 

I'll grant you that at one point in time there were some great developers on CoX.  That all stopped shortly after the issuance of City of Villains.  Actually, City of Villains for all it's greatness really dropped the ball by forcing the Villain side of the game to stay in it's own zones and only be able to access PvP zones.  The Base system was neat, but they completely flubbed the Base Raid system.  This is one of my biggest hopes for DCU: Metropolis, Gotham City and such should be one giant villain and hero playground. 

It's not the only problem with CoX.  Since CoV, they've pretty much gone stagnant as far as development is concerned.  They've added a few things, but nothing to make the game any less than a pretty huge and boring grind.  The Oroboros system was a plus though, I'll give them that.  Too bad the two power sets they've added are perhaps the two least requested.  Willpower's decent, but where's the Shield weapon power?  Where's all the other powers that are staples of the superhero genre? 

Champions looks good, but it's incredibly niche, even for the already niche superhero genre.  It'll attract fans of the tabletop game and the curious while DCU will attract the huge amount of DC fans.  In this case, setting trumps all. 

Actually no that post was off-topic i apologise, CoH is superior to DC Universe is what i posted earlier =P not compairing it to korean mmos. I rant off like that sometimes.

Im flaming sony right now lol.

Guess i wont be trying this after 1-2 years AFTER launch

Everything Sony touch, it goes to trash.

 

  No, you should play immediately!  In about 1-2 years, SOE will have to change it to be more WoW2 like.

 

 

 

 

I am ready to hear a Jestor comment about EQ2 you know your ichin to lets hear it:)

I played EQ2 from day 1 of release, Nothing really wrong with it although it was much much better before they made crafting for dummies and removed subclass system.
