    So I had this great idea... get three people together to roll Blorks, one named Beas, one named Tie and one named Boyz... they could each go down a different mastery path... fever dream?

    The biggest problem files for me seem to be the two art ones and the world file, it's trudging through the second art file still.

    Fuck you, warhammer. One file was corrupted in my fileplanet zip and I had assumed that the patcher would detect and download the one missing file. Nope. No sirre. GOTTA REDOWNLOAD ALL OF THAT 10 GIGS!

    And the patch logs won't even tell me what i'm missing!

    Man...
    This looks fun. But I've decided to hold onto my WARginity until the game actually goes live.
    I can still look at pictures of other people playing though, right?

    Note: This is a post mostly for the blue dot, and because I wanted to use the word WARginity. It makes me smile.

    Holy shit, 14 pages overnight?

    Now that beta is around, I feel completely un-compelled to read them. Almost time to break this bad boy down in to class threads (or even better, to start utilizing the TSM forums more).

    As for why I wasn't on last night (a question asked 14 pages ago)... I played from 9am-1pm and 4-8. I figured I'd take a break. :)

    Thank god I'm in the US beta, GOA has managed to clusterfuck the european side of things.

    All sings point to GOA fucking up the launch too so I'm not too sad about leaving to Dublin next sunday and missing the launch. I have no clue when I'll be back, but it's at least a month so maybe things will be up and running then.

    I'd say things are going fairly smoothly for the first hour of a highly anticipated beta launch. Note - I'm not talking about the EU stuff, that's just a clusterfuck, but that also isn't Mythic's fault.

    SOB, I cant decide what class to play. THey're all so badass looking, I'm not going to be messing with Borks, cause that's my main for release. But the Engineers looks ultrabadass with that hugeass wrench.

    After something like this, after this fucking failure by GOA, I can't imagine that Mythic won't notice how many that are upset with this? They said early afternoon on Sunday, well that time is now and I haven't gotten an inch closer to doing WAR!

    It's funny because the full scan didn't do anything and I still get that reinstallation error.

    Pump the brakes, son. Four or five hours from now, you'll be playing WAR while watching some real NFL football. It's a good day.

    Mythic has no control over what GOA does. This stuff happened with the company that Mythic outsourced the EU portion of DAoC to as well.

    Honestly, you'd be better off playing the USA version at release - just find a guildy to facilitate your purchase. Time zone differences obviously suck, but you won't have to put up with the level of nonsense GOA will provide.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on the chaos magus class post 4.1 patch?

    Previously I was playing it as pretty much your standard nuker - stand back and fireball fireball etc. but there seems to be a fairly large incentive to get stuck in with Glean Magic, Infernal Blast, Daemonic Maw, and Daemon Lash.

    Has the patch changed the class from a defensive caster into a kind of guerilla hit and run on a medieval segway?

    Magus need to constantly be on the move. I find in t1 that my most effective tactic is to skirt the flanks of the main battle line to drop a demon as a harassment tool and the instant cast AOE debuff/dot. Neither does a huge amount of damage, but the harassment of their healers/RDPS along with the annoyance of the demon does wonders for ruining the enemies day.
