ppl need to realise.. that a game that so close to release cannt evne launch a proper open beta will be a fail.
Still.. im astonished that people still gonna burn cash in it instead of saying to theese companies NO!
Last example i think was Age of Conan that pretty much ensured noene will ever buy a game released by FunCom in the next 10 years or so until people forget.. but the example didnt seem to work.. companies still continue to make same mistakes and trying to cheat their costumers over and over again.
sad.
I feel the same brother
=/
there not trying to cheat anyone they drop the nda for peats sake earlyer
I got a sata drive that wont help at all, to bad i dont got a raid going on the pc i use for testing, atm without a performance patch it looks like a SSD is a requirement for you to play without all the fps stutering.
I run two SATA drives in RAID and the I can tell the game has some serious loading issues, among the many other issues it has. Texture loading is pure crap in ER for one thing.
I got a beta key yesterday, downloaded the almost 3 gigs client over torrents, was pretty fast because lots os seeds 100+
Then install the game, launch..error
Check the forums for fixes nothing, just reinstall...i did reinstall many times and nothing..cant launch the game and im not alone...
Not my hardware problem..i got all drivers updated, directx etc etc..i run any game in the market, any but this one.
This is definitly the 1millionth time i read, that this is "FOR SURE not your hardware problem". And this is wrong about 99% of the time i read this.
Please tell me, why can everyone except you play this game, if this is not your problem ?
Did you flirt with one of the devs wifes, so someone has a personal grudge against you and therefore won't let you in ?
Or is a devs joking around and pulls the plug every time you try to connect ? Do you think they are really THIS BORED ?
Come on and think about "not your problem". It is for sure a problem with your hardware or maybe software. So there is a chance for you to get rid of this issue and try the game.
Search which google or ask someone in the forum, if there is a log-file, which could help to locate the problem. It's maybe not easy, but maybe it's worth the effort.
Lag / FPS - Debug mode or not, the server is crap, was playing prior to the patch and servers being put into debug mode and the lag and FPS was horrible.
The server has been in debug mode ever since closed beta began, so no, you were not playing prior to the server being put into debug mode.
I was inclined to agree, but after this statement I find your credibility to be severely lacking, and think it is much more likely that you are just telling tales because you dislike the game.

Thats what i thought, pretty sure the only way to aliviate that is run it on a ssd, no idea why its loading the texture from the hard drive instead of passing it along to the video cards memory, i mean ffs vid cards now a days come with 1 gig im sure they can handle it, just sounds like its either a major client or engine flaw and they dont seem to know how to fix it, its so noticeable too since at the exact time you start to lag while moving during the texture loading you hard drive starts to spin up pretty badly.

Actually #1 complaint on this game would be performance.. And if you check out some posts below people are having problem running/installing/playing the game.
Currently Playing: Rift + Starcraft II + Gears Of War 3 Beta
Well everyone keeps comparing the game to AoC WoW and EVE, saying how they all sucked worse at release. I did not have the good fortune to play EVE or WoW at release, but I did play the beta and several months of AoC starting the first day of release.
Everyone around me was complaining and yelling and screaming as be blinked out of sight had obvious lag issues and were just generally upset. I just went on my merry way and played the game just fine. I would meet up with other players that were also not having problems and we would quest together awhile and remark on how hard a time some of the people seemed to be having.
I do not know what the difference was at that time but I do know that I am not going to dislike ER until I have actually tried to play it.
I wish i could try this game but it took 3 days to download and now my verified account name and password wont work
Playing: PO, EVE Waiting for: WoD Favourite MMOs: VG, EVE, FE and DDO Any person who expresses rage and loathing for an MMO is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
some of you people are high as kite wow suffered from none of those problems on release. neither did AOC, warhammer or eve.
Not one of those games had you swing then 1 sec later hear the hit, the only time you say the rubber banding or gliding issues was extreeme lag.
all of them had better questing and mining.
all of them had better character custumization.
maybe you can compare this to MO or DF when they released. but all the others released in 10x a better condition. even UO had more to do but was super super super laggy.
the premise is good executrion lousy.
and to the to the people saying its a beta seriously this is the game you are getting in a few days. and in a few weeks and if your lucky theres a big fix patch in a month expect 6 months before this is close to stable game with enough features to entertain, especially since there charging AAA prices
WoW: Server stability issues abound, broken quest, broken AI, Broken raids, crashes, severs down for weeks
AoC: Fall through the world bug, game crash, broken quest, broken AI, Broken territory control mechanics, and a host of exploits
EvE: Did not play at launch
WAR: Stability issues abound espeically with more than 20 people on the screen. But the game as a whole just sucked
{mod edit}
Even though it was not launch i would like to point out that an EVE patch literally BROKE peoples computers. That is by far the biggest fail in mmorpg history and no one will pass it.....games could only hope to match the fail.

First i must say that idea behind ER is great, I will praise Atanasov for it. I wont mind waiting for all the features to be implemented into this empty sandbox-game to truely enjoy it, but besides being empty, everything else about this game is a failure.
- Physical collision/detection in this game is some of the worse ive ever seen. Character seems to walk on the air when hes on any curved surface. Movement feels like your sliding most of the time, getting stuck in simple places, getting KILLED for getting stuck in simple places. When you attack something with melee weps it feels like youre hitting air. Animations for all weapons are out sync with sounds and actions. Pretty much it feels like your character is disconnected from the environment. All this makes PVP and PVE a horrid experience.
And ive played some MMORPGs with FPS elements like: Neocron and Face of Mankind, and these games are more than 5 years old and somehow still had better feel for controls.
- grind is still there when you have to kill 5 of these mobs or go meet this NPC. Nothing sandboxy about that.
- major video stuttering. graphics are somewhere on par with SWG and below AOC's; both of those games run fine my laptop, but this game stutters everytime it loads a single physic in the background.
- useless structures placed around the map that seem to have some kind of use but in reality dont... I think its about time to not place useless crap like that in a sandbox mmo. INteractive objects lighting up yellow dissociates them from the game, same with question and exclamation marks that seem to be glued to NPCs heads.
It feels like Atanasov programmed this game right after he finished university, and played only 1 or 2 MMORPGs in the past. Whoever is their lead progammer , he needs to be replaced. For me to like this game it has to have a total overhaul, excluding the gaming world and engine. I feel sorry for all the fanbois who in 4 or 5 months will be playing on empty servers.
My rating for this game is: Horribad.
i have issues with the game that you stated. but seems those can be dealt with. what i cant stand is for a "sandbox" game not to have proficiencies with any of the weapons. it has been said before, someone with a t2 weapon can mop the floor on a group of starters, or a t5 geared person can take 20 t2 geared persons. it isnt skill, its a gear game.
the next issue for me was people using sliders. its bad enough with the lag, but then u got someone generating lag so you cant hit them. i tried to take a guy down that was all over the screen. couldnt land a hit on him but he was hitting me non stop. same level cadet right off the newb area. the game doesnt have any hacker protection what so ever. your gunna have aimbots and sliders.
for those that dont know what i slider is, its a 3rd party software that generates a lag effect on your machine. basically it runs just fine for you but causes the server to think your somewhere your not. if you played AC think of gear and what it did to let people slide out of danger.
I wish i could try this game but it took 3 days to download and now my verified account name and password wont work
I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but it looks like the developers of Earthrise have been giving out beta keys in order to get people to seed their software. I don't believe that the majority of people who were given keys were ever intended to actually play the game.

eve never broke any computer I never heard anything baout that, but you do here rumors about it with every game, why becuase people have old obsolete crap or faulty crap that just happens to break down at the same time.
I have played from the start and still do play eve. never do I remember that

It has become some kind of urban myth that WoW was somehow "all fucked up" when it launched. Other than the loot bug, and the servers being slammed because of the hype, there were virtually no bugs. I don't know how this rumor got started but, WoW was NOWHERE nearly as big of a mess as Earthrise is. I think people are trying to infer that one day [INSERT MMO OF CHOICE HERE] will be as successful as WoW even though it's garbage at launch.
Yeah complete perceptual bias. Actually no, complete delusional fantasy. ER is in a similar state to DF and MO at launch someone else said DF > ER > MO which sound plausible. It would not be wrong to compare this to the real howlers, having said that it does have some 'charm' and potential. Unfortunately for me not enough to overcome issues like the disconnect you feel with your character and sluggish control of them. Having to grind mobs for BP (its a pvp game isn't it?) and a metric crapton of them too. Not when combat is nowhere close to satisfying, nor does it rewards skill or strategy (unless running backwards in a circle whilst holding down your mouse button is your idea of skill/ strategy). As for pvp -- gear > everything else --- that being equal, shoot them in the back and they will be dead before they can turn around (with moving around and turning in particular being so slow and clumsy).
OMG lol well I am no fan of ER, but come on what is with the outright lies about WoW release. WoW release US was horrible, at one point Blizzard even halted sales for 3 days because they could not keep the servers stable. The rubberbanding was insane, invisible mobs, getting stuck forever when you went down to loot, tons of client crashes and a host of OS lockups. BSODs were rampant.
On top of that Blizz CS sucked, it has improved but at launch there were tons of problems and CS was like tell it to the hand..

Yea I remember WoW launch, it is pretty funny looking at my payment history and seeing a bunch of free days added on because of the horrible server bugs they had. I can't wait myself to find out how this game fares today with the official launch. I hope it goes better then the last days of beta.

Stability... instability... lag... graphics.... who cares honestly? You are missing the forrest for the trees.
WoW came out with most if not all the features it was advertising available at launch.
EVE came out with all the features it was advertising available at launch.
How can people even attempt to compare these games to Earthrise's release... which has a roadmap of the features that will be coming "eventually" with a length equalling the Amazon. One of those features on the roadmap includes a fix to the horrid graphics engine rendering.
Think for a minute that this games initial release was to be around 6 months or more ago... they are releasing now and they don't even have 50% of what the advertised features in release... Not only that but they are asking you to pay FULL PRICE! Full price + one of the most expensive monthly fees of all mmos at the moment.
The fanboys in this thread can go pay and play instead of trying to argue against the indisputable truth which is that Earthrise is a incomplete mess.
