I hope the launch client does not crash as much as the beta one.

Actually, in accordance with NeoGAF ruleset someone (not me, too busy to play seriously earlier on + I'm going to play on Norwegian/EU server) should create a Meetup thread in the online forum for that purpose. This thread is more for initial impressions and launch period + news as they develop.Leatherface said:Count me in GAF. make sure to update this thread with the server/guild info.

I've got 3 GHz P4, 2.5GB RAM and a shitty X1550 Saphire Radeon.
Win or fail?

from the closed beta and all the impressions ive heard, heres what i gather:verio said:So, has the general view of the beta been positive? I'm on the fence with this game, but it looks great and much different than other MMOs.
I'm guessing he either means what you said or a Pentium D.drizzle said:You have a Dual Core Pentium 4? That's impossible. You probably have a regular Pentium 4 which has HyperThreading (which shows up as two processors, but it really isn't). Either that or i'm really wrong about Pentium4s...

Ferrio said:I didn't like it. Instanced zones, the zones I saw were on rails, combat seemed pretty simple yet cumbersome.. Also the large scale seige games are only 48 vs 48 people.
From what I experienced, the newbie zone/island was on rails but it then opened up once you got off it.verio said:Ew. Will wait on reviews, then.

Ferrio said:I'm talking about after tortage, the zones I visited were on rails.
TheHeretic said:To be fair at these graphics levels most peoples computers would explode if they tried to render hundreds of characters all at once. I've played games without instancing (FFXI) and it becomes a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
Ferrio said:To be fair, most of the MMO's out there are non instanced.
Wollan said:When you buy online from one of the bigger online sites (maybe all?) you will get an e-mail which gives you the opportunity to pay $5 to access it this weekend (you can already start downloading today).
I mean standard stores like EBgames.com, Gamestop.com..etc. I'm pretty sure the Funcom store of all places has the initiative.Chris_C said:When you say online stores do you mean stores that offer via digital distro? I can't find any of those. However I might get it off the Funcom.com store, do you know if they also offer early access?

Ferrio, you wanted to play Guild Wars which is horribly instanced, I dont know whats up with that.Ferrio said:To be fair, most of the MMO's out there are non instanced.

TheHeretic said:Is the collectors edition worth getting?

f@luS said:ask me on the 23 and i will give you one.
But still you will have to download the 14gb i guess, u should start right away
They only have a DX9 start client but you can choose DX10 from the launcher (same is the case with LOTRO).guggnichso said:Game only starts in DX9-Mode. No DX10 executable in Early access client.
