I have it preordered, and am waiting for the open beta so I can have some fun before launch. Anyone else planning on getting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'm not as of yet, but I'm totally willing to play/try the open beta. Is it a payment plan game or like GW (and soon to be GW2:D:D:Ddd) where yuo pay once and thats it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodee Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 It's P2P, 15$ monthly. Open beta is going to be announced this week so hopefully that means it'll be soon. On a side note: GW2 trailer made me drool x1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Dude, I know. I watched it in the study hall at school and I actually shouted with glee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'll be playing with a good chunk of irl buddies when this comes out, i've already been in all the closed betas and LOVE it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerdude Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I've been playing in the closed betas on and off, pretty fun. I've preordered the CE edition as well, so I'll be in. Who else has been playing Guild Wars? After over four years of playing, I'm kind of getting tired of it...can't wait for Guild Wars 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodee Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've played Guild Wars on and off for years, although I've been off of it for about the past 1.5 years. I haven't been playing anything besides Heroes of Newerth right now. Open Beta has been announced to start on Sept 6, so that'll be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbfalcon Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I might get it... Dunno... It's the subscription fee that kinda bugs me... Like with Guild Wars, I could just... play a few days a month if say, that month turned out being really busy... But with subscription... I'd end up wanting to play it all the time... Also yes, GW2 trailer made me squeal like an elementary school girl on build-a-bear day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 September 18th we're allowed to choose a server and also reserve names. I'm pretty sure i'm siding eylios, I'm not fond of any of the asmodian zones i've been to at all. So I guess i'll throw out the server name I'll be on at that time so you guys can join me if you want. Also if you're still trying to score a collectors edition pre order (better wings, makes a world of a difference early on, when you don't have to blow all your kinah on some shitty wings) you can still preorder it off of steam.

Super Napalm Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'll try the Open Beta, been looking for a alternative to WoW so once I grab my shiny new PS3 slim I'll get the retail if it turns out good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodee Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 SG lemme know what server you roll on. I'm rolling Elyos as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well since today is the early pick character creation in a few hours, I just wanted to update everyone that is playing, due to majority vote my friends have decided on the server israphel, and we will actually be rolling Asmodian. So if you still want to roll elyos, at least roll on that server so I can assassinate you constantly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Another MMO, huh... smells like another "play until the EXP curve starts to tilt" experience. Ill be looking to you guys to tell me otherwise. I havent been satisfied with a single MMO's longetivity since Survival Project. (And that was for the hardcore PVP action.)

shadowgoten Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Honestly, it all depends on what you like, this game has a very quick combat system that involves chaining attacks together through the use of a hotbar of skills. A lot of it plays out in the fasion that World of Warcraft would, but it seems combat itself tends to be more involved rather than just a LOL 1 SHOT I KEEL YOU scenario that WoW has become now, meaning it's gonna take you a bit longer and you'll have to work for your kills in pvp, which is a VERY good thing. Dunno, I'm already lvl 17 on my assassin, I've played through countless betas through the same starting areas on the other side, and I'm still not bored of this game, where as in World of Warcraft, I can only do the the starting area once before I want to shoot my brains out. In the end though it's up to you if it's a fun experience honestly, I can't tell you it's awesome and that you'll 100% enjoy it unless you like these sort of things. If you do though, I'll let you know I'm already loving this MMO more than I ever did WoW (and I spent at least 2 1/2 years of my life playing that damn game), the grind to max level doesn't seem like a chore but more of an event each day.

Asuma Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think I'd rather wait for APB. Honestly, looks cool and all, but I'm not a stickler for grinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 The fuck is APB. Vids/screenshots plz (of aion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 The fuck is APB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APB_%28video_game%29 GTA MMO where you play cops and robbers. I'm waiting for the info on whether you can run over other players with your Need For Speed Underground cars before I say I might play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Im just waiting for Sonic Team to give Phantasy Star Universe to someone who wont fuck it up. I look at PS Portable 2 and it just kills me inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodee Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 You still been playing SG? I'm 32 now, the grind is rough but I'm gonna stick it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yep, I'm at 28 now, I am starting to feel the "grind" you are talking about, but other than that I'm very much enjoying the game at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APB_%28video_game%29 Sounds good. All the games I get to look forward to are something like 2-3 years away. Woe is me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
