My question is more for CB testers. Can I ask what is their to do so far ?

We have:

1) good graphics

2) advanced combat

3) PvP

4) simple quest

But how about other stuff like dungeons, quest that require groups or anything else.  I'm really not being negative but so far I only see shallow game play topics. 

PLEASE no guessing, and not features from devs. ( actual and real time ) I'm trying to make a decission on AoC.

                                  Thanks Page

You kill the Joe, you make some moe

Their are dungeons, im not sure how many *hopfully alot* I saw a few videos on youtube with group dungeon gameplay, but im not in beta so I can't honestly say anything. Theirs probably quests that will require groups, and levelign is normally faster grouped up.

  No worries.  They'll drop the NDA and let Closed Beta testers tell the public what they think of the game sometime in June.

I don't think any of the CB or "live beta" people can comment because as far as i know NDA is still in effect (not sure though, i could be wrong). But i have heard of "group mobs" mobs that you can't really take on your own even unless ur 5+ levels higher than it.

Wait 1week after release and know for yourself via reviews, free trial, etc.

We can not give much info away atm.  What I can tell and what has already been told is that there are dungeons that start around lvl 38 (has been made official).  As far as testing those in CB we can not say much.  But like all-  its beta and things dont go always to smooth.  Some grouping up problems made it hard to work together in groups. 

But - (also official)  The whole of Hyboria is instanced.  That means that you can do all of it as solo or do it as a group in diffrent dificulty lvl after lvl 20  (abit harder giving more rep and so on).    Not quite sure how the mecanics work tho.  But the switching between instances is pretty much like normal to heroic in WOW.  But instead of just the dungeons in WOW beein heroic the WHOLE of Hyboria is heroic.  At least that was my impression of it.  

But if it has been balanced yet - Im not sure.

haha he has a good point what are they gonna do kick them out of closed beta??  I'm guessing they are gonna do that in a day or so anyway.  So I think it is a good time to start adding more info.

Well Obviously their is nothing but eye candy, and quest as of yet, I had never seen a single post telling of fun stuff to do, not even CB leaks.

Even Tabula Rase had much to do during beta, their had to be at least 5 dungeons in both the Wilderness and Devide along with excitement.  And NO this is not about Tibula Rasa it's only an example of things to do.

One thing I don't understand the Funcom devs gave every indication of a release in December and pulled the plug two weeks before, what were they thinking ? It had to be wayyyy less done back then, so what was that all about ?

So is their anything to do.  Has anyone witnessed first hand some real fun stuff ( real time, not dev stuff).  Is this gonna be another RPG like the Witcher, but at $15 a month to see others running around ? 

I'm trying to like both AoC and Warhammer but Warhammer seems as if it's centered around stuff to do other than quest and pvp.

Help me out tell me/us some real time positives here !
