so will closed beta folk get merged into the open beta crowd? Or are we isolated on our deathsword server until launch?
Um, if you're on Deathsword you have access to two Clients. The Beta Client and the Normal Client.
Running the Beta Client lets you see and log into Deathsword. Running the Normal Client lets you see the current PW stuff, and will eventually be the Release Client.
If you don't have the Normal Client downloaded, you need to get it.

No I think I have both
I just wondered if our CB characters would carry over into open beta so I could play with all the new people, or if I had to make a new character on the "nrormal" client
I assume I have to make a new Warrior Priest now eh
Does the animation set to "high quality" fix the thing with everything at range having butchered animations? I really hated that and want to turn it off asap.

I think that is something you just have to put up with, as it exists so that large scale battles don't wreck everything ever.
Damn it, now I'm at work. Are the fancy advanced graphics defaulted to on? Is AA in there? The game looked more AAed than usual. While the textures looked better I'm hopping for an even higher resolution version, even if I have to wait to install it from the disc. The world textures, where I was at, looked great but the dwarf beards and cloth could use a bump.
There are no higher resolution textures. What you have now is what is on the DVDs.
Mythic was too vague when they talked about having more graphics options, and people assumed that that meant higher resolution textures too. There's going to be a bit of a shitstorm about it. Mythic should have quashed those rumors to manage expectations.

I really hope not. Big battles, sure, fine, makes perfect sense there. But when you're just walking around the world in PvE areas and everything more than 20 yards away is a stop motion stuttering mess it just makes the game look like ass.
I don't really mind the choppy long distance animations
I do mind some of the very odd regular animations
For example, I just noticed how female warrior priests animate after they respawn. They kinda just float up all zombie like, sideways, from the ground. Pretty fucking odd. I also got stuck several times in a ballerina pose, which was hilarious

Right, but impromptu, big battles can take place any time (and anywhere on open servers).

Oh well, it was only a few textures on my low lvl dwarf that bothered me and even then it was only when the camera was super close.

It's how DAOC was too. It's to help performance in 60v60 battles. I'm sure "high quality" sets it to 3fps for ranged animations instead of 1 :P

Are servers up or not? I'm getting this blank screen with two buttons. No matter which I press, I don't get any servers to show.
They are up. That screen is supposed to recommend an underpopulated realm. Were you in the last preview weekend? They have not enabled all Open Beta accounts yet.
Servers were up for me an hour or so ago. I was seeing four servers North America servers, Crag Mere, Caledor, one other that began with a C, and Tyrion. They may be back down, or you may have a firewall popup in the background asking you to validate the updated WAR.exe.

Damnit, I played a Witch Hunter during Preview weekend, but want to try something different (order side) this time, but none of the other classes really grab me. :?

Try Destruction. Tentacles... horrors... crab claws... plenty of stuff really good at grabbing people.
I plan on trying a Marauder once open beta starts properly (a brother and some of his friends are going destruction and I'm gonna hang out with them too), but some other guys I know are going Order.

We will have an epic face off where in none of our members will be able to find each other on the battlefield and everyone will understand why having rivalries on the same server isn't really as much fun as you'd think.

No, it's not a firewall issue.

See you all on the flip side.
Your codes will be in your personal media section under downloads in your Amazon account.
if i wanted to play the open beta
can i use the same client i did during preview weekend?
Yes. I'm just a spaz.
This is why being up early is a bad thing.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to be on much until late tonight.
Up early? What're you talking about. I got up yesterday at 8 am. ;P

Candymancers are Order on Todbringer. TSM are destruction on Todbringer.
Isn't it one or the other now? So I actually have to make a meaningful choice WTF is this shit BLARGH.
TSM is Destruction.

On live we'll be back to two separate servers.
Shh you don't need to clue everyone in.
Yes, its lime, you wanna fight about it?
Your face is the stupidest idea ever.
Burn.
Nope, all are segregated. There is no equivalent to a WoW PVE server.
