Even if you get in, you can't do much with current bugs lol

 

[Burt]

If you spin your guy at character select enough, he facepalms/motions for you to stop/leans over etc.

10/10

A+

GOTY

would play again

 

[Revolutionary]

Got kicked again, but managed to play for a little over an hour. Doubt I'll be playing much more.

 

[Sothpaw]

Exactly. Is anyone actually hyped for this game? Isn't it P2P? I thought that model of MMO was proven to be doomed (unless you happen to be WoW or Final Fantasy...for some odd reason). PSO2 gets along just fine with being F2P (and kicks ass to boot!).

P2P is the last problem this game has. I mean damn.

 

[TheFatMan]

Am I crazy or is it in violation of the games NDA to discuss server issues on a public forum?

 

[LapinAgile]

if anyone has a spare code i would be forever in your debt!

 

[Garland7G]

Signed up for PS4 got a code, used it, turns out it was for PC ...now what?

Don't worry, the F2P system is already in the works.

 

[SargerusBR]

Don't worry, the F2P system is already in the works.

worst case scenario it will adopt SWTOR horrendous Sub/F2P system.

Edit: Oh yeah.... NDA.
I'll just say...janky.

 

[Plywood]

edit: Derp, NDA.

 

[SeventhSon]

I created my account, downloaded the installer... it won't download anything, stuck at 0%.

 

[Zaph]

Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. This is pre-alpha.

 

[Artemis-Thoth]

Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. This is pre-alpha.

I agree, the combat is really really awful, I'd expect at least Tera level, but this is like a bad version of Daggerfall.

 

[Seiru]

You guys are making me not so upset that the servers seem to be down at the moment.

 

[Iadien]

Sigh. Depressing, but expected.

 

[JesseZao]

Sigh. Depressing, but expected.

Yup.

 

[BeekleMatter]

Where are "the official forums" for beta discussion mentioned in this tweet?

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

whoever quotes me first gets a code

 

[bengraven]

What game does combat feel like?

It's linked in the email that gives your own login. I didn't even know this was NDA until you go there...

 

[BattleMonkey]

Like a ES game with awful laggy hit detection

 

[Dezzy]

What game does combat feel like?

NDA. I guess Oblivion wasn't so bad.

 

[FunkQueue]

whoever quotes me first gets a code

nooooooo

 

[Liquid_Bike]

Is it really that bad?

I want to like this game.

 

[Jharp]

So I have a beta key for this weekend but am unable to sign in or even create a new account, because I just get a 500 Internal Server error from the page, so I can't get to the download.

What the fuck?

 

[Sothpaw]

What game does combat feel like?

Like an ES game so bad. But even worse than bad ES combat somehow.

Is it really that bad?

yes

 

[Whompa]

My friend also got it...had had to download the installer via torrent. GG Bethesda...

yes

Can you explain why it's bad? Is it just mashy?

 

[razgriz417]

Damn really disappointed that the combat is bad. Was hoping they'd actually improve on skyrim melee combat

 

[macewank]

Am I crazy or is it in violation of the games NDA to discuss server issues on a public forum?

Yep.

 

[fleck0]

I've never seen a beta go to such lengths to prevent streaming / screenshot leaks. I wonder why...

 

[SargerusBR]

Oh boy...and here i thought they couldn't make combat in an ES game to be even worse.

I was wrong.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

So are we allowed to say anything about the game at all?

 

[TheFatMan]

So are we allowed to say anything about the game at all?

No. That is the point of an NDA. Technically everyone posting about the combat mechanics, server status and all of that are in violation as well..

 

[Moaradin]

I got to play a bit this morning after not being able to get on at all last night. The combat feels pretty bad...

Elder Scrolls never had good combat to begin with but this takes it to a new level.

 

[Valravn]

Well, who didnt see this coming? I mean if the combat is good is it even a TES game?

 

[Revolutionary]

No. That is the point of an NDA. Technically everyone posting about the combat mechanics, server status and all of that are in violation as well..

Server status is a violation of NDA?? Get real. The servers were down and we had nowhere else to talk about it.
Those talking about gameplay details, however...

Depending on the language of the NDA, even admitting that you're in the beta is a violation of the NDA.

 

[Revolutionary]

I read the NDA and I didn't see anything of the sort regarding server status. You're right about participation as a beta tester, however. Whoops.

 

[obear]

If they banned me from the beta for mentioning being in the beta.. I would get to play as much then as I am able to now.

 

[Hari Seldon]

NDA Nazis make me lol. You can't just go on reddit and make up any random throwaway name you want and talk all you like? You think these MMO companies employ hundreds of people to track everyone down and boot them out of beta?

 

[nynt9]

I'm NDA'd, but for reasons completely unrelated to the beta, I feel a strong desire to not play MMOs for a while, recent MMOs I've played have been horrible, soulless and janky.

Trust me, I'm totally not talking about TESO.

 

[Robobandit]

They don't necessarily hire people to do this, but other beta testers will often find and report people who violate the NDA because the company asks them to.

WildStar is our only hope!

 

[Ricerocket]

Welp... I just gained about 30GB of free space on my HD just now.

Woo hell yeah, fight the man.

Me too, I don't know why! =p

Yeah there is this cult of people who take NDAs like really fucking seriously that is hilarious. You aren't NDAing some nuclear secrets, it is just some MMO. Expecting an NDA to prevent word of the jank from getting out is complete stupidity lol.
