Seems like they are having a big beta test invite right now. Took me a while to accept the beta test invite. Page kept timing out.

Yea they have a crazy test period coming up.

Keep in mind:

"To simulate a launch environment, testers who have accepted new invites to weekend testing will gain testing access in staggered intervals based on when their invites were accepted. The first group of testers will be able to log on beginning on Friday morning (11/25) at 10:00AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin). Then, Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin) the second and final waves of testers will gain access."

please note that they will only be available for the duration of the weekend test, which ends on 11/27 at 11:59PM CST"

Is that the RP PVP server?

Was really disappointed by the stale combat, but the storyline and dialogue were great.

No, it's a generic PvP server.

Well looks like it all comes down to Planetside 2 to save the genre for me.

Been playing SWTOR and it just bores me, I have no desire to play this type of game anymore. I got bored of it with WoW years ago and Bioware have just made WoW with cutscenes I want to skip as I find the dialogue very cheesy.

Uninstalled, cancelled my pre order and will wait for Planetside 2 beta, though I hope CS:GO starts sometime soon.

krnasaur · 2011-11-26, 04:38 PM

I was never really a MMORPG fan, but I'd give this one a shot because I enjoy bioware's games. Wasnt that thrilled. maybe another time ill give the game a shot, but not now, still got skyrim and saints row to keep me busy

bjorntju1 · 2011-11-27, 03:59 PM

Played the game yesterday and today (luckily i only needed to wait in the queue for 1 time and that was like 20 seconds)

I have to say I am liking the game. The first few hours I was a little bored but I am starting to like it more. I think I am going to buy it. I got a free €10 coupon in the mail 2 days ago from a web shop where I frequently order from so maybe i can use that for a discount. The graphics aren't that good, however I have gotten over them and it doesn't bother me that much now. What I don't really like is the combat system. Just click the enemy and push a number on your keyboard for an attack. But every other MMO is like that. However I do have to say it bothers me less then i thought it would, since I really hated that in WoW. But well I don't like WoW at all.

I got WICKED annoyed when you have to do through a long dialogue with every quest you got, then it took forever to get anywhere lol. Other than that I liked it, but I'm most likely not going to purchase this one... it would be fun but not worth my time investment.

Plus I'd be running around yelling "IT'S A TRAP!!!" all the time... as I did during the beta!

Spacebar is your friend to power through cut-scenes. Level 14 pick up Sprint, level 20 or 25 (I forget) pick up speeder vehicle.

I actually ended up enjoying this game quite a bit, that I was not expecting. The story line certainly helped. I got to level 9 and managed to get off the noob planet on the Sith side with my Warrior. I never got around to trying PvP as I had no idea if that even went on around my level.

For those who have done more PvPing how would you rate it?
