On the main site, the audio player has a few tracks for your listening pleasure.

I'm a sensitive guy. There is something about certain types of music or movies that just gets my emotions flowing. My heart starts beating faster as I close my eyes and listen. Or, when I try to feel whats being portrayed in a particular scene, my blood begins to race.

300 was one of those movies that made me feel intense. I'll admit it, I lost it when Leonidas says, "My Queen, My Wife, My Love". A 40-year old man, losing it in the theater on a scene like that. What a sight to see. But that's me....I'm not ashamed.

Anyway, the track Casus Belli, gets my blood racing in this same manner. I don't know what it is about the sounds that makes me feel like I do. I get hypnotized for a moment. I love the beat, the deep horns.....the feeling I get when listening in a trance like state. Anyone else find this track amazing?

No, I don't do drugs or drink. I've been sober for more than 20-years. I'm just sensitive to songs like this. I can feel things most can't I guess.

Maybe I'm just .

edit:sensitive as in 'delicately aware of the attitudes and feelings'

I don't get it. And Blizzard in trouble? bwahahahaha

How is downloading a patch preventing you from trying it out? Is this your first MMO? Because just about every MMO I've ever tried required an additional download once installed and ran for the first time. Who knows how old the trial disk is you used to install WoW.  Your not making any sense. Your complaint is a joke, right?

Edit: Are you on Dial-Up?

Edited due to extreme rudeness. My apologies.

Personally, I wouldn't even play it for free after having spent time in the beta. That's not to say i won't be keeping my eye on it in the future.

Here's an idea.

I had some very high hopes for this game, and it's been pretty disheartening hearing the feedback from beta testers. I'll still reserve the bulk of my judgment until it releases, but October seems way too early at this point.

For those who have played the game, what can they fix or improve? Is October too early for release? How much time do you think it would take to improve the game?

 

All of your questions have been answered in detail in many of the posts in this forum. No need to rehash.

That's what it says.. happens when I press "Enter Battle"...

Help?

Have you reported this in their forums? That would probably be the ideal place to get a resolution. As a tester, it's expected.

A search of that error turns up a few posts that may help.

I played last night for the first time. It ran good for me with an average of 25-30 fps on very high. That's not great and lower than I expected but it was steady with an occasional drop.  I was able to use the 'custom' option and play around with all the graphics settings. Unfortunately, the frames stayed pretty much the same no matter what I did with the graphics options. Being beta, I'm sure they are working on optimizations. I took the game for what it is...beta. I thought the game looked pretty good. Not eye popping, but good.

I noticed they like to recommend dropping the resolution but on a 22" LCD, using anything other than the native rez is not an option.

E6400/2GB mem/1950XT/22" LCD @ 16x10

I'm sure if I had and 8800 or 2900, things would be much better.

First time EQ player. I just did the 30 quest Trial of the Isle this evening....in one sitting. Your absolutely right by saying more options, variety and diversity. This game has so much to do and covers lots of different play styles. I quit WoW over a month ago after playing for two years and was having trouble finding something to replace it. Lotro, EVE, DDO....all failed me. I'm running out tomorrow to get the EQ2 pack. I can only imagine how much content there is to look forward to.

I appreciate the warm welcomes and replies!

Now on to the EQ2 trial in the meantime.

 mlorriman - I will definitely be looking for a guild this time rather than trying to run one. Armed Insanity on 2 realms in WoW and a guild in Lotro was just to much. I spent more time baby sitting than playing.

I started reading last night. Good Stuff!

I don't want it to seem like I'm blaming the game or other players. It was my fault for being stubborn early on. I think if I would have gotten used to the whole grouping thing from the start, I probably would have enjoyed the game more than I did. By the time I started seriously grouping, it was to late in the game. I will change that attitude with tCoS.

A new story, a new beginning.....a different way of doing things. I can hardly wait!

Hello cable-spider -

 For my own reasons Im curious what gameplay issues WoW burned youout on that you think CoS will improve on?

    You mentioned storyline (weak and thin as hell in almsot all MMO's I've seen).

                         What else?

I soloed for the most part to 70. I'm not a groupie kind of person. I stayed out of the dungeons early on, despised 5-mans on the way up and saw raiding as a waste of time. A lot of time. I hated spamming, 'LFG, LFG'! I don't mind if from time to time, but it became necessary to group in order to move on late in the game. Pugs drove me insane! Rude, obnoxious leaders having fits about this mistake or that error in judgment. In my opinion, most took the game way to serious for my liking and it was no longer enjoyable.

Anyway, the quests dried up. The grind for rep, mats and whatnot became tedious. My guild was inactive and I gave up on recruiting to fill the spots. I finally threw up my hands. I enjoyed myself throughly until the point where other people became a necessity. I played with friends for a long time and that was cool. We'd get on teamspeak and have ball. I knew these people and that was fun.

Then, most left the game and I was forced to group with people I didn't know. My confidence was lacking due to inexperience and making mistakes usually led to some asstard blowing a fit because of this or that. That usually led to me being left alone in some dank hole because the group bailed on me and decided a lesson in crowd control wasn't worth the time. I'm ranting, I know but the experience left a bad taste and I can honestly say, I feel better for having retired my toon. It actually felt liberating not having to deal with that pressure anymore. The fun factor disappeared a long time ago.

I thought Lotro would be my savior. But I'll be damned, there goes that grouping thing again and very early on. So now I'm missing out on the epic quests because my social skills are lacking. I'm hoping CoS will allow me the opportunity to solo quest for a good part of the game. I'm hoping I can get immersed for an hour or two a night and just have some fun. I don't know for sure if CoS is going to provide that enjoyment but I can dream, can't I? If it doesn't, oh well. There just seems to be so much emphasis put on the questing system that I may be able to play at my own pace and whenever I want for a reasonable amount of time. I get the notion that a single player can be self efficient with the skill setup. Basically, I feel like this can be that game that I'm looking for as a solo grinder. It's not that I'm against playing with other people, I just hate being reliant on others.

I have an extensive FPS background starting with the original Half Life/Team Fortress Classic. Clans, competition, you name it. I still sponsor teams and run my own gaming community. WoW was my first (and only) MMO besides a quick stint with Guild Wars and Lotro. Then the trip through F2P Land. That was miserable! Maybe I'm expecting to much or looking for something that may never exist. I just have good feeling about CoS. WoW was refreshing and fun when I started. Character development was the most exciting part for me. I want that feeling back again and I think CoS can do it. I am so over FPS's. I want to get immersed into a great storyline and build a badass toon from the ground up. Master him! I don't see that happening with most of the future titles....except this one. And believe me, I have my eyes open to them all. WAR may be on my list and Conan does nothing for me. Nothing else give me goose bumps really. This title just  seems awesome! Character tuning looks top notch. I'm all over The Witcher for some RPG fun and maybe that's the type of game I should be setting my sights on. We'll see.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

First of all...this is a great site!

I stumbled upon it after having quit WoW. My 2-year addiction was about all that I could take. Not a bad game, just got under my skin near the end. Anyway, I was doing the whole F2P banaza and found you. It's now in my favorites and visited daily. The wealth of information is spectacular. The forums are alive here and I like that.

Of particular interest, CoS! I have high hopes for this game....I really do. It appeals to me more than any other because I'm a storyline, questing kinda guy. Deep character development gives me tingles. I'll probably be keeping an eye on this forum more than any other.

With that in mind.....while signing up at the tCoS forums, my confirmation code caused me to let out a glorious laughter. Make of it what you will but I know what I was thinking. So, the purpose of my post was the introduction of sorts and the sharing of this situation fitting code:

Clickty-Click

Hope to see some of you in-game, in the future.
