Really Solid Open Beta

Without breaking any NDA (is there even still a lingering NDA on this game at this point???)
Open beta for this game is FUN. Better quality than Vanguard, fun factor of WoW, feel of DOAC, no retard devs/managers like AOC.
= win for me.
Mythic, you have at least one sub with me.... keep up the excellent work!
Comments
This has been a great OB, already had way more fun any other recent game I've played. And it actually runs great with 100 people in RVR and doesnt lag to death like AOC with 20 people.
I have to agree.
The beta is fun. A few kinks here and there, but I've had nothing game breaking come along.
Since I heard some bad things about spore, I may as well put my money into something I know is going to be good.
Groovy.
yeah pretty fun, some pathing issues like getting stuck on stuff and mobs not knowing what to do but overall not bad. crafting is almost nonexistant right now but hopefully at launch it will work
I haven't had a chance to log in today, but I read in the patch notes that they fixed some of the unattackable mobs? Is that true? It has probably been my #1 concern with OB so far, and would be great to think they fixed it in time for launch.
+1 sub
They may have fixed specific mobs, but overall, the bug still occurs more than I would like; however, I love the game. I am buying it.
The EU OB:
No patch notes and no patch, I just checked the launcher/patcher. And if they fixed something serverside, it must have been very recently - the bug was still there a couple of hours ago, at least.
As for your concern:
I'm concerned too. Especially since that bug has been around since Troll Country was opened for testing 6-7 months ago, iirc. A few other bugs has been around "forever" too, like the one when a sorcerer uses buffs, the group gets flagged for RvR.
The beta is extremely fun. I'm enjoying doing quests, checking out the questbook, and doing RvR.
Only one con: Unattackable mobs. It annoyed the hell out of me, but hopefully it's fixed via patch recently.
Best open beta I eever been in. Only thing is that Destruction still has more people which makes open rvr not so kind to Order but I am hoping that when official release comes it ill be better. Scenarios and PQs are pretty great. Mythic has done a great job and I suspect WAR will be the best mmo to date.
My only big complaint on the game is the 1 orc class.
I'm still hung over on losing the Choppa class
I hope they redo the class and put it back in.
For now, I will play the Black Orc.
Groovy.
I am going to assume they will add these classes later on in the game (maybe thru expansions), but I am assuming.
The code is probably still lingering in the game, but who honestly knows. I am not much for the Dwarf Tank and Elf Tank, but if this all order has, i guess we just got to settle for it.
On a side note (not pointing fingers at any members here!)
The biggest beef I tend to see on these boards, in regards to WAR is "the monsters are sometimes unattackable" or something. This is due to pathing errors and they still exist in WOW 3-4 years after release.
So yeah... if that's the biggest gripe about WAR then I'm ok ...lol.
Well, I can ignore too once in a while but it happens way too often. In some areas the mobs will become unattackable at least 75% of the time.
Well "sometimes" its every second mob thats unattackable, then they continue to shoot you around corners/through walls ect, its pretty game breaking imo.
I just hope it gets fixed for release.
One of the things I've noticed, being in beta for a few months, is that they have a very hard working dev team. They find issues and fix them. This beta isn't just for show, they really do watch what's going and fix stuff.
