The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I'm installing it right now. I think I'm gonna make a fuckawesome Barbarian or Bear Shaman or something on Thog, the US PvE server.
Anyone else playing this game? It looks sweet. You can hack heads off. There's no auto-attack. There's drinking, gore, barbarism, skewers of meat, and active combat.
WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?

I have a barbarian on Wiccian, which is apparently the unofficial RP-PVE server.
I was really disappointed in the beta, and wasn't even going to buy the game but I got it for my birthday, and it's really cool this time. They've polished a lot of it.
man the dx10 version of this game is gunna look crazy gorgeous
I hope so.
hope the gameplay isn't rancid ass
It's not.

I'm Marx, the level 10 Barbarian on Thog.
The combat is really, really, awesome. It's nice and visceral. I'm enjoying Barbarian, but stealth is kinda gay and I go down fast, so I might experiment with a sweet conqueror for the all the bloody stabby goodness but without the light armor/quick death.
I tried playing on a FFA PVP server but after twenty minutes of getting camped at the resurrection stone by a group of dickbags I rerolled on Wiccanna (or however it's spelled).
Still has pvp zones, but you don't have to worry about roving gangs of dicks camping you.
instead of auto-combat, you have three buttons to press for attacking left, middle or right (which take up space on your toolbar, which is a pain in the ass). they try to mix this up by having enemies guard certain areas so you need to hit an other. its fairly easy to catch so you just need to mash these three buttons to win + use your usual mmo skills. there's a "dodge" function you can use by double tapping a direction, but it messes up your attack cycle and the enemy will still land a blow anyways.
spellcasting is identical to any mmo, though its a huge pain in the ass to manage all your spells and the three attacks at once.
combat looks fluid and bloody though, so there's that
fatalities are cool but not nearly frequent enough. bloody finisher that gives you a huge but short buff.

There is an easy way of getting around being camped at the stone, change your instance.
The drop down menu is by your minimap, just choose it and pick a new area.
I personally enjoy the FFA pvp, just adds a little more challenge to the game.
I understand how you feel though, most people dont feel it is necessary to go FFA pvp since once you hit the borderlands, it is all ffa pvp.

That sounds like it could be fun.
I really want to try this out, but I don't think I could talk myself into getting it (I'll probably get it when I get back from vacation).

buff.
If you don't want your basic attack buttons on the toolbar there is an option called Combat Rose you can check in the Interface>Hud menu (I think that's where it is). This creates a translucent compass rose-like HUD just under your avatar that you can click instead. I found this handy after playing wow because it lets you use your keyboard exclusively for combo shortcuts. Also, later on you get two more angles of attack which is just that much less space on your hotbar.

As for a review of combat, it's interesting. At first I had assumed there was just one attack to get the job done and the others were pussy status effect things but it seems that all my status effect attacks are also massive damage attacks.
Hot switching between my two weapon sets so I can use all my abilities is good times. Opens up alot of possibilities in combat, which probably means it was an oversight and will be patched.. Ahh well.. It's fun while it lasts.

Can anyone confirm if this runs on Windows 2000? I haven't seen anybody complaining about it anywhere, and usually that mean yes, but I'd like to be sure before spending $50 on a non-refundable game.

man I love my fucking computer so much it is disturbing
all playing oblivion with everything cranked. HDR + 8X AA and extra-high res texture pack? 65fps steady as can be.
It is a tiny little workhorse that answers only to me.

do those exist
But the free trial isn't open yet i think
Some pirate motherfucker decided he could mess with me
So I straight up hacked his head off in a gory mess of blood and awesome
Did the early access shit so I have been playing since last saturday and it is good fucking times.
As for being lauch and buggy, it is actually not bad at all, one of the smoother launches I have seen.

But dammit, the fucking UI is terrible. We are so spoiled by wow.

If you havn't bought a new system within the last year you're probably not gunna be running this over 10 fps..
That said.. it's still pretty good at 8 fps.
