dont know what bug you got makeing it happen nut yout textures not loading porbley on some stuff

I did have a bit of a rocky start but after you get a few abilities and you get further into the main quest line the game really shines. 

The game is pretty good as is.   I've pre-ordered...

After watching for 3 and a half hours, I can safely this is not an impressive game overall and nothing you have seen before.

Judging by what I saw here, this game is no where near ready for release. Which is kinda weird seeing how long it's been in development. What like 5-6 years? I hope it does well though. I'll probably get flamed for this but I like funcom games.

it just doesnt look good enough, at least not enough to make me forget GW2 will release in a couple of months.

The game world seems rather empty..... even for a beta

I got bored at 1:50:44 man next time choose the pistols or the katana!

What a snooze fest.

I have to admit that, whilst I really don't want to appear a negative nancy, I am really unimpressed with the bulk of this game. I had planned on buying; thanks to this beta I can save myself the cash.

Too many quests, not enough anything else.  Gameplay is weak, but what really kills it for me is that I'm looking for an massively multiplayer world, not a single-player story-driven questathon.  Just feels too much like TOR in that respect.

lots of cutscenes = boring doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather have a decent mature story with lots of dialogue.

and I did like the combat, getting rid of the classes and having the ability wheel was pretty cool aswell.

I enjoyed my time playing it.

i smell EPIC FAIL

You can lock that small inventory "bag" so that it stays on when you close your main inv and serves as a sort of extra quickslot tab for potions and buff items

really cool feature, thanks

Combat seems a bit uneven at the beginning but gets better after you get more skills and get the hang of mob difficulties and of difficulty curve in general, and yeah it gets harder later

He didn't have AoE at the beginning and that sucked

"Maybe this is the part were I get to play" Lmao, that was hilarious man.

Enjoyed the beta quite a lot. Agree with others that the combat is a bit lacking, but we're only seeing the first ring of skills. Maybe it gets better. Experimenting with builds looks fun. I really like the setting and that the quests are more interesting than standard MMO fare. Everything seemed to have a reason and make sense within the larger narrative. I got as far as the beta would allow in the main story arc and it was getting really interesting. I wanted to see where the story goes. It plays more like a single player rpg than an mmo. Personally I like that but I don't see it as something I'd subscribe to for long after finishing all the pve quests once or twice. Story and setting is the best thing it has going for it in my opinion, which is different than most MMOs where the story seems like an afterthought.

Awesome game, love it! 

I played this game for 15 mins and quit it, mainly because of its horrible fighting system, as some ppl point it out its feels detached, and thats is a key part for me in a MMO, also I notice how the game is poorly optimized, there are games and mmo's far better looking and run far smoother then this one.

PS: Beta is more of a game showcase (demo), then anything else.

It's odd that the Dragon is locked in this beta. I was in the beta that started on the 8th, and all of the factions were open then. Oh well. I hoped you enjoyed the game sir!

These MMO interfaces are a bit overwhelming for me.

Voice acting is a little dodgy.

For name you shoulda' went with Baron Von Orange Blossom.  That's killer...

Kevin, you're a cool dude man.  This is awesome.

6 hours in, game's very good. Too different for kids under 18 years old but for folks older than that it's a treat. Anyways, high school kids have tons of Korean hack'n'slash MMOs to choose from, adults have zilch. So hopefully Funcom can smooth out some rough edges and bring us a polished product ASAP.

I love pretty much everything about this game, graphics (with HQ textures) and writing is absolutely stellar, quest are mostly great, the overall plot fantastic. The combat is average though, not bad at all but a bit wooden and detached. I can live with it, the abilities are great after all, but surely hope Funcom work on this some more.

Otherwise it's an first day buy for me.

It seems to me like you dont get that sense of contact when in battle like somethings missing,does anyone else have the same feeling about it or is it just me??

I played the beta yesterday and today and here are my positive and negative finds about this mmo.

postive:

* Graphics

* dialogue and voice acting

* diversity of the builds you can make with the ability wheel

* quest markers

negative:

* combat is bad : your toon has the mobility of a wooden board , it's so bad that whitout some aoe or snares at your disposal, ranged type toons will be a hell to play solo.

* Only 5 quests can be tracked / picked up: i often encountered quests/missions whatever you would call them along the road while i traveled. I couldn't pick these up i had to complete other quests 1st and come back later if i wanted to know what they were all about.

* Random lagspikes

* Hard and Very hard quests didn't provide any difficulty when playing solo. So it didn't encourage grouping or forming a party. During some occasions i had the feeling i was playing a SP game instead of an MMO

Will i be buying this game: No

reason: Altough i enjoyed the game  the combat was frustrating.  

nice video, 4 hours wow

The graphics of this game are great. I would love someone to tell me wich other mmo has great graphics like this? Anyway the beta was okay but it didnt feel like a beta, more like a Demo play of the game but atleast we got in to see how it is. I for one like it. Dont care about what 12 yr old kids think of it. If you dont like it play WoW and dont cry about it. Its just a beta it still has a bit of time to polish things.

The PC's getting some sweet exclusives as of late. I think I'm going that route until this Next gen. of consoles is a couple of years matured, don;t want any RED rings etc.

Seriously? Is this the best player IGN can find? Cant even find the way eventhough it so obvious -_-"

Melee weapons, man! Why don't you try 'em too, c'mon?!

the envirornment and world graphics and the effects are top notch best in any MMO to date, the character models and animations ..not so much i had a blast playing it though

thats why its called beta

The graphics on this game really dissapointed me. Compared to some MMO's this is pretty bad. Secondly playing the BETA hasn't been good either. In the open at the beginning of the game it lags like crazy and I had reduced all level of graphics to their minimum. When I went on my first mission it was fine. I have left it for now and will try again tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fixed.

I like the basic concept of this game,and I like the intent of the environment. It's the implementation I am unsure of. I can't tell what is the expected roughness associated with a beta, and what is just poor design quality. Time will tell I guess. It looks like a playstation 1 game right now, Sara :O)   I would play an improved version of this. Significantly improved.

I respect the more mature atmosphere of this game. I personally dont mind the cut scenes. I will argue that being glued to WASD 24/7 makes any PC game feel... bland so I like the attempt to have a balance. But this is not an mmo that is gonna change the face of games forever. It still bites from other games mechanic wise, and shows no attempt, no leap of faith, to step out the box and take a chance on something literally "different"

Played beta.

BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING.

I can't believe they are releasing this in a contemporary MMO environment. It's totally average in just about every way.

Great lighting, and good writing.. Everything else is pretty terrible, especially the animations. The UI and combat are about as cookie cutter MMO as it gets.
