So far from what I've seen its a slight stat reduction until you find your tombstone. The tooltip says it lasts 30 mins but using your tombstone has always made it go away for me. Ive also had the rez sickness go away from random things like leveling, killing something, taking a pot. I dont think there is a pve exp loss as far as I can tell.

Edit: what spronk said

WTF^^ to Tuco's post. Go go shitty PR.

[Draegan]

So everyone is whining have a 3 day head start? Oh the tears of injustice! Big fucking deal. And the fact that you would not play this game because you couldn't sign up fast enough just makes you look like a silly douchebag.

I'd rather call it AV like is should have been since the damage ect is permanent.

48v48 PVP is fine. Thats almost 100 people playing at once. Seems pretty good to me. You guys wanted massive? like 100 v 100? 500 v 500? Is that the point?

We wanted what was advertised and hyped. Massive PVP siege battles...

[Draegan]

So in your mind whats a massive pvp siege battle? Define that. I pictured like 60 v 60 or something or whatever. I never for once though it would be 200 v 200. I didn't think that would be possible because of the lag.

Thats not the point. I made real life plans around this whole ordeal under the assumption of something that wasn't explicitly stated. I'm not going to play the game because it was a shitty thing for them to do and I can only imagine the CS clusterfuck that will occur after launch.

But those three days are going to matter quite a fucking bit on the pvp servers.

Funcom has been screwing GoGamer forever and those people always come and apologize for it like its their fault. They were supposed to get a preorder bonus a while back and Funcom decided not too.. so they went and discounted/refunded 5 bucks off of everyones order to make up for it.

Maybe you should of made sure everything was set before taking off of work.

I pictured Daoc 100-200 vs 100-200 massive keep sieges.

[Schatze]

Honestly they probably only created enough pre-order codes to go with the boxes on sale initially and/or a limited number to have a live-live beta of stuff to find the major exploits/server issues/etc.

People pre-ordering and then canceling (which a ton of people seem to have done) was probably the cause of them running out so fast.

I kept my pre-order because shipping to Canada from a US site is cheaper than buying a new game in Canada. I was originally going to pre-order/cancel, but decided not to.

Honestly, I wouldn't blame Funcom for this, but players who gamed the early access system.

[Tolanin]

what do you want? do you want EVE? cause everyone who plays that will tell you that 1000 vs 1000 fights fucking suck... the technology is not available to play like that. Seriously realize that on most peoples PCs MEII TW lags when the fights get to be 1000 vs 1000 in a city and that game is fucking single player with tiny ass sprites that all look the same for models. Even the DAOC shit lagged terribly.

Everyone wants huge massive pvp, realistic people know that it will be more fun by far the way they are doing it... that fact that you lose your keep and all its bonuses when you lose is what makes this better than wow, do you think it would be better than wow if it was just a lag shit storm but gee it would be fun to read about in pcgamer and on fohguild.org, just not fun to play.

That, and there is now no massive pvp.

200 v 200 like it was in Shadowbane.
