    EU. US hasn't had any sort of beta yet, as far as I know.

    We just had a little one tonight actually.

    That's what we were discussing a couple pages ago.

    So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

    wasn't a beta. they called it a "dress rehearsal" and it was basically the same thing EU was doing. Mostly a small stress test and making sure people can actually log on and nothing melted on their end. The EU just decided to extend it I'm guessing because of the flubbed sneak peek.

    that was pretty badass of them though. Also I heard the GMs that were on were a couple of decked out Elin. That amuses me.

    Excellent.

    I have my three names for my characters, following my usual pattern and two alternates for each using the same pattern. Then I have two completely non-pattern names just in case **it hits the fan.

    Ugh.

    I roll on regular PVE servers because it gives me a better chance to get one of my "normal" names since people are more likely to use names like that on PVE servers than RP servers.

    Of course, that also means I have to put up with seeing names like that...

    I actually like that the character creator has sample names by race if you feel like RP-ing it up.
    Or was that the races page on the game info section of the site. I might be remembering wrong.

    Huh?

    I know anyone who pre-orders from anywhere gets to reserve one name between the end of Closed and the start of Open, and get to participate in Early Access. Also, since they aren't wiping the servers after Open Beta, anyone who was in it will get to keep their characters.

    Nothing from CBT should make it out of CBT.

    So I dont have to play any of the betas except the very last one to be able to save a name, right?

    I'd rather not invest any time I'd just have to redo, so I'm curious at what point I get to keep my name.

    Name reserve will take place between the last CBT and OBT.

    I got in as well so I might see you guys on Serpentis Isle. My wife's running a mage and I was going to run an archer but now Beezel has me a bit worried now. Usually I always regret not going archer but you're saying their dps is supposed to be crap compared to the others? At least at ranged?

    If so .... maybe Mystic. Whats the difference gameplay wise between a mystic and a priest anyway? And can they kill well enough?

    Archers seem like they're going to take a bit more skill than at first glance. Depending on glyphs and crystals they may favor a pure crit/attack speed build compared to other classes and focus on weaving in and out of range depending on aggro spikes.

    Priests are basically your beginner healers. Good at reacting to spike damage. and have multiple aoe heals that target in a circle a set distance or a cone directly in front of the priest. They have 20 minute buffs that can be provided to the group as well as shiled/bubbles. They also provide stun/knockdown resistance so are pretty popular in pvp

    Mystics are for when you trust your group and have good communication since their method of healing is a little bit more passive. In the form of orbs that apply a HoT. that hot is interrupted if the user takes on any damage before the duration is complete. They also get a multi target lock on heal/cleanse and a summon that performs aoe healing. Their buffs come in the form of toggled auras such as crit, movement and attack speed that makes them popular in endgame pve

    Both healers are fully capable of healing endgame content and both are able to solo well enough, with the mystic coming out slightly ahead in that area due to summons. Their damage output is low but good enough to kill quest mobs. You won't be fast soloing any BAMs with them though.

    Edit: I should also note that mystics are the only class capable of restoring the mana of others via Blue orbs similar to the health orbs, An aura and an active chain spell that leeches life from mobs and converts it into a mana aoe.
