Hellgate: London †Time to learn Korean?

Hellgate: London is the first retail game from Flagship Studios, lead and made up of a number of ex-Blizzard North employees who were significantly responsible for the Diablo series of games.
It's a hack'n'slash'n'shoot, loot-based action RPG with both a singleplayer and multiplayer component in a similar vein to the Diablo series. HGL, however, is fully 3D and has a focus on ongoing online content which will hopefully lead to more depth than running Baal for the millionth time.
Following a rocky launch in October 2007, the game's turned a lot of its issues around in terms of wideranging bugfixes, balance changes, new features and new content.
Certain perks (such as shared stash, expanded stash) and new content (Stonehenge, the Abyss) are restricted to subscribers in multiplayer only.
Guild
corin7 is the current guildmaster after the old Arcadians guild basically fell apart. Post in this thread asking for a guild invite. If you are not online when he invites you, when you next login type "/gaccept" into the chat window.

the 40s are sooooo slooooowwww
So what's involved in setting up for the test server?
Change your server selection to Test Centre. It'll patch over. If you want to run both normal and test without continually patching between the two versions, you need to make a copy of your HGL folder and run two separate clients.
The Abyss Chronicles boasts a long list of new features and fixes and as such has required a long internal testing process. The studio is currently in a “bug squashing” stage with regards to the major content update meaning that development of Patch 2 is complete and we are now working on cleaning it up and making it pretty (and balanced). As part of the path of all our patches, the Abyss Chronicles will first be enjoying a good stay on our Test Center server where it can be poked and prodded and picked at by you, our thorough Hellgaters and brave test subjects.
The Abyss Chronicles is slated for Test Center launch this coming Monday, June 9th. The update will be applied via a standalone patch (1.3 gigabytes). We will have more information on this big move first thing next week.

Then we could all have had free respecs and double xp.

Ambi is on test server fear not.
I'd love to have a guild going on test, but as Bogustus says it's deserted most times. The only thing you'd miss out on really is a large auction house pool when that launches.
Eh well it is a test server. I don't mind helping out testing some code when it helps me out ie seeing blademaster revamp before I have to make semi perm desicions on the live server. But the reality is I pay FSS to provide me a solid gaming exp. I already have a fulltime job. When I get my couple hours a week to play I want it to be fun not another job. That is why I play 99% of my time on the live server.
Given the free respecs, it's not like you can break your character either.
Like it or not when you are playing on test server you are doing QA on not finished code. Sometimes when it benefits me I will help them out. Other times I feel like it is their job to test their code. Simple as that. You are gauranteed to have less trouble and bugs on the live server. Thus I spend most of my time there.
As I said, I have never seen major bugs or trouble on the test centre that prevented me playing aside from one instance where the servers crashed, and considering all the major bugs that have appeared when patches hit live, I don't see it as a reason to stay away.
Willis, did you just play solo on the Test Centre? I'm going to try and find a guild to join up with there.
Oh and that China doll effect is still going on when you zoom in on your characters face. I got in a corner so I could get a really good look at my character and I noticed that the reflections are broken too. I was out doors in the London River and the reflection maps were from the city streets... I looked at it again when I was in the safe area and it worked right there.
I'm baaack:whistle:
Ive gotten all the patches on the site and when I try to install each one it tells me that I already have it.
"Cool, then I can just load up!"
NO
I still get the error message telling me to download patches!!!!
You need to download stone henge.
where the hell do I do that?
EDIT: you missed the point
I HAVE downloaded stonhenge, AND 1.2 and am STILL getting that message
Did you download 1.3?
I used to play this a whole bunch, mostly in single player back when it first launched. Then I started getting irritated when patches were fixing things in Multi but not for Single. I may have to get back into this again, things seem to have changed quite a bit.

So yeah, going to make a summoner....but what's a good summoner name?
All out of ideas
Weapon question.
I can add a mod that add say 10% fire damage, and that gives that weapon a chance to ignite?
If so, I can mod the ignite strength and get more ignites?
What if I just add an ignite strength mod to a weapon that has 0 fire damage? Nothing, right?
which is why everybody loves all +fire damage weapons with +% fire damage on it at 50
I just hit 42 and seem to have run out of interesting things to do.
I can fight high 40's monsters just fine, but my next station is Liverpool, and everything there seems to be 51-58+, and 51's just seem to kick my ass. Especially vortex wraiths; they've always been nasty, but a pair of them spent a good 5 minutes raping and chasing THREE of us all around one map until we finally seperated them and killed them off with a lot of cursing and dying from my companions. I've had boss fights that weren't as hard or as fatal as those little fuckers.
So I'm sorta stuck; I don't want to grind at monument station zones forever, but liverpool stuff is just asking to be killed repeatedly. The LFG tool isn't much help, as the few groups looking seem to be trying to buy/sell things, 50's farming for heads, and the ocassional group that seems promising but pans out around 40% of the time.
btw, any idea why I'd get kicked from a group for having a haste bot out? That seemed strange to me. Nothing was said, just "plz dont use haste bot" and when I asked "Why not?" (very politely) I was booted out.
So am I cursed to farm monument station zones for another level or two, does the jump to Liverpook just suck that badly, or is Stonehenge my only recourse? I'm thinking of snagging it, if just for a month, to see how things are, but I thought I'd ask here first.

WOO! (god I'm loving this game.)
I guess that's not without its appeal, but before it came out, the setting really had my interest.
Name's Whiess
So a quick question, should I go for the Carnagor or hold out for the Warper?
I don't know if they're still taking transfers, but if they are, you could mess around on the test realm and try out both quickly, at least at early levels.
Failing that, pick one and run with it. If you really don't like it much, you'll be able to respec out of it when 2.0 hits.
Ravager rounds, beacon, pick a strike or grenade. If you get a strike or grenade, get elemental beacon. 1 point in escape. Max out multishot.
Actually, I may just roll a guild on the test server. Halving my level up time is very appealing, plus getting to play with all the new toys is a plus.
Bogustus has also said that there will be additional vendors on TC so you can buy some of the new items that'll be drops.
Apparently it seems there's more people playing Elite than Normal now? At least that's what the people in the channels were saying.
