quick question, went to Fry's and they show that release date is Nov 2nd? Is Oct 31st only release date for preorders or is Fry's full of shit?

Suineg · 10-31-2007, 12:46 PM

Really annoyed that I can't subscribe and start the Halloween quests yet.

Zippygoose · 10-31-2007, 12:47 PM

So is the game good?

I've only read a few impressions in the last 10 pages but nothing really about the game itself.

Shit, I didn't even think about that. How long are the Halloween quests going to be running for?

Went to Best Buy, they had it. Had to pay more, usually 42 bucks for new releases at Frys vs. 54 at BB. O well.

I walk from Moorgate to Liverpool Street every day on my way to/from work, the most demonic part of the trip is through Finsbury Circus, there was a bird dive bombing the old guys playing bowls and the younguns drinking pimms during the summer.

I'll probably pick it up this weekend when I'm not busy. How is the server holding up? How is the population?

I've noticed mostly badmouthing of the game in this thread. If you can close your eyes and click everywhere and stay alive that seems pretty weak. Is grouping in that kind of environment even fun? No one's said much to make someone who didn't play in the beta want to play the game.

Gwen Rockpounder · 10-31-2007, 02:32 PM

Gwenda on Shulgoth, a level 3 markswoman so far.

Also awaiting the subscription so I can get the zombot, the manta wraith pet from the collectors edition is damn annoying so far with the screeching noise it makes every now and then

Stability wise its hung on me twice so far, using vista.

Connection to the US servers seems just as fast as the euro ones so i may as well jump on one some of the forumites are on. I was pleasantly surprised when the collectors edition turned up today international mail all the way from yankeeland, pretty quick!

Drajakur · 10-31-2007, 03:02 PM

So what's the deal folks? Is it better than the demo/beta led people to believe? Dish motherfuckers...the weekend approaches!

Well, just had my 3rd lockup in as many hours so took the time to read foh again as I have to completely reboot the pc after each one as well or it crashes during the intro.

Talking of intro, I've never had a game throw so many bloody animations at me, there must be 6 or 7 different escape key presses needed to get to the main menu, from nvidia to intel to two or three studio/publisher animations. Jesus its almost as bad as sitting through Pearl & Dean at the flicks!

When it is running, it seems fine. I have it running at 1600x1200 with cirtually everything cranked up to full using the dx10 engine and im mor than happy with the frame rate. Graphically I have been very impressed so far, perhaps when im level 40 etc and running a similar looking instance for the 8th gazillion time I may not be but so far the atmosphere has been very good from both indoor and outdoor settings. Best Ive seen so far was a downward sloping sewer type level with a shallow water stream running down the middle of the corridor.

Marksman seems a little OP at the very early levels, no idea how it scales as my beta playing was very limited. I wont comment on gameplay yet as indicated I am a very early level.

"Get your bloody subscriber server fixed you eejits!" i will say though...

GaliemVaelant · 10-31-2007, 04:07 PM

It's fun, but I think the subscription model will fail. You can just get so much more for your money content-wise that I can't see anyone paying for a sub for very long.

Then again, if the new content for subscribers is good enough, maybe it'll fly. It better be at least as good as the acts in the game now though.

Dyscord · 10-31-2007, 06:09 PM

It locks up, which is highly annoying. And when I zone into a station it lags like crazy while it loads people. The game is a lot like diablo except 3d.

And I say "a lot like" its not diablo though. The biggest annoyance is that skill points just don't seem to matter. I am NOT excited to get a new level.

I can't really comment to much, and I'm only like level 6, but I'm incredibly bored with it. Hello Mr. Tunnel filled with zombies, I think we've met before.
