I finally got a beta key last night and I have not been able to stop playing. And I ususally dont platy b etas much cuz I know there is going to be a wipe.
I guess a lot of people don't like the game.. i dont know why.. the only issue I have is some framerate problems but its going to be optimized.
Combat is fun
Lots of quests
PvP is fun and I dont even have many skills!
graphics are great
Get your own key and decide. Honestly, dont listen to the negativity its just a vocal minority. 95% of people in chat in beta plan on buying the game because its FUN!
let the vocal minority flame session begin!

I agree..
I've enjoyed it so far also. The game world is hugely impressive, no instancing plays like a harp to my ears as i wander through the beautiful landscapes. With spit and polish, this could be a real gem.
I like it.
But performance needs to be improved.
I am having ok fps (up to 100+) but game stutters every few seconds to load in background.
Its real excercise in patience to play it in this way.
I think it looks pretty cool.
I was asleep both times that Massively and this site put up keys.

Please post your system specs because no one is getting that fps other than on the character window or loading screen
So they fixed the choppiness that could be seen in the official beta video? Characters warping about?
And the horrible clipping issues?
No its still there and we are waiting for this patch before release that is supposed to fix it. The devs acknowledge its there but you will get players swearing up and down it never happens or that its not noticeable. Which is not true.
I think Earthrise is fun, but there are issues that need to be addressed to improve it even more. FPS wasn't a factor for me, I was at a steady 25-30 fps which was fine out in the open when there weren't too many players around. It didn't drop at all during a firefight involving around a dozen other players.
Lowering screen resolution was the only thing that really helped fps for me. Turning of shadows did help, but I couldn't play that way. HDR on or off made not real impact (and the game looks much better with it on anyway), and Anti-aliasing Transparency (?) had zero effect on fps.
I run Earthrise on a Pentium QuadCore 2.4, 4 gigs of RAM, (2) nVidia 8800 GT's in SLi
Where would I be able to acquire one of those beta keys?
I signed up for Earthrise beta loooong time ago, so I kinda gave up the thought of getting in to beta.
don't buy, poor performance and low FPS makes combat jerky, slow, and lagged out. A PvP game with bad lag and poor combat makes for a bad buy!"
I'm excited to see what the performance patch will bring. It's really the only issue that I have and I don't think it requires much faith to believe that performance issues will be fixed. Especially, when the game is not running in debug mode.

I don't understand what you are saying. I was refering to when the game launches.

What servers have to do with lagging graphics engine? It's lagging even when loading login screen which is where no communication to server exists yet.

looks like release the release client is completly diffreant from the beta client
Haha oh my god... sometimes you guys crack me up....
This is the Worse MMO i've ever tried... and i was in MO CB and we all know how great that one was..
15 minutes was enough for me here...
OK first of all the game didn't run too bad, it was acceptable for a CB but it was choppy and FPS seemed to drop for no apparant reason..
Ok log into the game, create a character - with almost no customisation, nevermind characters looked pretty cool.
Run through first few rooms, kind of liked the Music, learning controls, getting some gear (everyone starts off in underwear) ok Melee Combat time...
This is where the game falls into a million pieces..
You have to kill 5 Armadillo Robot things, easy...
That is until you enter the field where these things are and there's a thousand people all trying to kill them... not so bad normally, except theres 3 armadillos spawn every minute and you just see a swarm of people Zerg these things, you might get lucky and have one spawn next to you, only to find a ranged guy for some reason back in this area killing them off...Oh what fun..
I struggled my way through this rediculous quest onto the next one - Ranged Combat...Oh here we Go kill 5 Sweepers or something can't remember what they were called.... Guess what .... a thousand others killing the same damn things in spawns of around 3 a minute...Again so much Fun.
General chat was full of people having as much fun as me - Joy!
I dont think i'v ever been as angry while playing a game as this one made me...

Its simple our cards can handle the fps fine, hell in the mountains i get 80 fps plus, why because its not loading textures, the problem is the client or the game engine is loading textures straight from the hard drive instead of preloading them into the video cards ram, causing the fps drops and stutering, and to be honest i dont think the devs have any idea on how to fix it, aparently the retail client is indeed different but despite a 6 page thread on the beta forums from testers asking for news if were are going to get to see the optimization patch before retail and if they even have retail servers there has been no
answers, so in essence there are two possiblities, the devs have indeed optimized the retail client and put in banks and god knows what else and their kicking the testers in the balls and saying go buy the game if you want to see the fixes, or they dont have any optiization patch ready and dont want to tell us they dont in the hope we might still sub up, at this point it doesnt matter, out of the 5k that registered for beta 90 percent are gone, leaving just probably 1000 players if their lucky as their core audience, out of those 1000 alot of us are whaiting for that patch to see if we should sub up, i aint playing a twitch mmo without stable fps.
I like the game, looks and sounds good and combat is fun. However MHS need to add alot of content and just stuff to divert the player from the bread and butter of grinding mobs for BPs. If they stick to their road map then it would be nice but I still think they need to add alot, I hope MHS can do it but I'll be playing to see.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
