Beta's up.
g2g!

Started playing and its pretty fun actually. Only thing is it stutters sometimes and loading times are long.
Just outside the first city here, just have to do some quest to get in... ign: Daedra if anyone wants to pm me you can

New char creation bug. Guess I'll have to wait even more til they can fix w/e they screwed up. T_T

What's that now? haven't heard of that yet.. You can't create a char at all or what?

As soon as it came, it left. No woreeeeez.

lol alrighty then
I'm off it till tommorrow though, sleeeepy

The Beta any good? Can you customize your characters look more then in the PvP Beta?

More? You could do a lot in the beta. Their customization is pretty deep.
So far things play about the same. Can't speak for pvp because I can't progress through Tortage, the first city. The lag is unbearable. The highest point was loading into a bar it took 30 sec for the NPCs to load.

Hey guys, just played couple of hours.

Great so far, i'm one of the few that does actually understand this is a SRESSTEST and dont bitch on the official forums so yea

But yea the lag in Tortage is unbearable..

My comp is quite good and i can't move normally lol.

Gonna get my ass outta there now tho, and get to 13 then pvp

What are your guys ign's?
I need someone to talk to.. getting lonesome lol

Making numerous chars and they're all on server 4.

Ah I see.. well I'm on server 1 so no chance of me contacting you
Damn, you should come join me

I'm on server 1 but i'm in the middle of buying a new comp lol.

My comp fails more then i expected and it was soon time for an upgrade anyway.

Lol so are you playing or waiting to get a new comp?
I'm not on conan atm but will be in an hour or two I'd say

btw: what comp do you have now?

Am currently on a

AMD Athlon 3500+
1GB memory
8500GT

So yeah, lol at me

But uhm i can run conan on lowest of low graphics but in towns its hell lol.

I knew it was time for a brand new computer some time soon and well, now it's the time Got 1000 euros to spend and im currently thinking about putting it together myself.

Anyway, i don't think i'll be playing much until iv got my new comp.

Ah alright, yeah the cpu definately needs improving, 2gb ram min. and maybe a boost in the gfx card too.

Maybe an 8800gt, I have one of them myself with 2gb ram im having little problems on all high
settings and aa8x.

Cost me under a 1000euro for a total upgrade mouse, keyboard and speakers too

http://www.overclockers.co.uk is a good site if your looking for parts or prebuilt rigs

If you guys need to lower your settings more in Tort, Ctrl (+) ~. Brings up console and you can turn off lots of stuff...and even create lightning! ^_^
Also, if you have vista turn off aero.
Taking a break for lunch.

I think i found my comp

From OC UK btw

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.00GHz
Nvidia 8800 GTX (Plus my 8500GT) (SLI)
4GB Corsair DDR2 (2x2GB)
Western Digital Caviar 500GB 7200RPM SATA-II
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 Sound Card
Vista 64 bit home edition.

All i need is a PSU

Also a new g5 since my razer broke the other day.

(http://www.graficall.nl/ProductImages/4479P.jpg is my case, already got it)

EDIT: My m8 says i have to watch out for AM3 coming out since that will be alot better then AM2 (The sockets that AMD currently uses), any1 know more about this subject? Googled it but it might still take some time for it to be launched :/ Because this is the kinda stuff that would become a problem in the future.

I don't think sli works with different types of cards, if your getting a 8800gtx then it has to be in sli with another 8800gtx, you can't mix and match.

And might as well go for the new 9800gtx which beats the 8800gtx in any game as seen here:
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx_9800gtx/ It's actually cheaper too


Another thing is the e6850, this is a fairly old model and I would recommend to go for a wolfdale
processor which can overclock to a sweet 4ghz per core and uses new tech. It can be found here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... subcat=793

Oh and about AM3, this is only for amd athlon cpu's and as you are getting an intel you have to get an intel mobo so the AM3 doesn't apply here.

Hope that all helped

I have a Q6600
8800 GTS

But the thing thats going to hurt me is that I only have 2 GB of Memory.

2gb is fine, but 4gb would be better
So your not in the open beta or what?

Nope never signed up to get a key.

Damn, it's pretty fun actually even if there are bugs and cap is lvl13 for it.

As soon as I get my rogue to 13 and do some pvp minigames I'll start another char, prolly some sort of a spellcaster... not sure though.

Graphics are the best ive seen on an mmo, gotta <3 the eyecandy

There's a lvl 20 cap during the pre-order access.

Oh yeah, I'm thinking of pre-ordering now cause it is trully a great game, I'm having a lot of fun playing it.

If they only fix the stalling(stuttering), occasional bugs and load times it will be my next mmo
The cause of the stuttering is because we're using an older client then even the CB which didnt have any of these issues we're getting now.

So once the full game comes out on the 23rd here in Europe it should be fine

Anyone else here care to discuss the game? Been a bit quiet...

Yeah it sure needs a lot of fixing but then again, the current build we use for OB is really old.

Today's patch made it kinda playable for me on this shitty comp haha.

Gonna try to get my new comp at least 1 week be4 start.

God dammit, why are only Europeans interested in this game (ignoring unseen)?!
Finished my priest yesterday morn. Thinking about playing gta4 all day so I don't know if I'll pvp yet. I'm thinking bear shaman, nuke, or a soldier class will be my next build. Liking what I've seen so far, cept the bugs of course, but structure-wise it's still not an evolution, which I've been wanting so badly w/mmo's. Your still getting quests from chatting, walking minutes to your destination, kill x baddies or get x loot, rinse and repeat. The other pvp stuff should keep me entertained though.

Yeah well i guess that's just basic in all mmo's.

So far i love it and i just can't wait to get my new comp ASAP.

Yeah you really need it for this game lol
You take a look at my suggestions?

Oh and my ranger is almost lvl13 now and starting on a demonoligist now, seems kinda cool

Yeah i saw the post. I've already chosen the comp i want.

No changes except for the gfx card. I'm going for a 8800 GT. The gtx isn't worth the extra money according to a LOT of people.
Going for a higher end processor tho. Rest i will stick with
Thx fot the feedback

Oh and my mate started a demonologist too and he loves it lol.
