/GRUMBLE
now their updating my mail server (after all of those attacks on linux machines), so I can't even just leave my mail open, waiting for a BING!, no now I gota try and connect to the server every 5 mins.... YAR
/me goes back to twitching about shiny shiny game.
I'm really hoping to get in on this one. Perhaps I'll play the retail version, something I really don't do for pay2play much at all. But before I go that way, I need to make sure my summer internet connection is solid.

Wow. This thing is really captivating. First off, character creation is frickin FUN AS HELL. I just made 3 different chars, and they all looked TOTALLY different, to the point of me going "WTH?!". It was SWEET.
And the power....oh my, the powers! Heres some of the cool stuff:
Energy Blast(3 blasts of energy hit your opponent, knocking him down) Leviate(picks your opponent up, then thrusts him against the ground, HARD) Gale(a gust of wind knocks your opponent down- good to help you fill your move back up to use on the a-hole)
And there is hundreds I still haven't even tried yet, and thats just at level 1! Imagine level 40...Only thing is, I wish I knew how to get flying <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well, the combat is very strategic, I'll say that. See, it works like this:
You use a power/move. Then, you gotta wait for that power to charge back up. But while your doing that, you can use another power/move. Some take longer to charge then others, so you want to use those first so you can use the short ones in the meantime so your not left idling. At lvl 1, combat is a bit slow, but even just at level 2, it speeds up significantly. A few guys I've met at level 10 even say its downright FREAKY how fast it gets. One guy who is much like me(natural scrapper katana) Does move after move after move, and has so many he can't keep up with them all, and he says it gets to be a lot of fun, though it does get to feeling a lot like other MMOs. But with the mission system, it makes it MUCH more interesting.
I'm probably not gonna buy this, but if they find a way to "wow" me and make me drop to my knees thanking them for such a good game, yeah, I will. I'm close to buying, I'll say that much, and YES, it is worth the money.

bah...
still nothing for me ;(
However, I probably will still end up buying it, seeing how as all of yalls seem to think it is worth it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
for those of yall who did get in: did you get a key or something with the mail?
or did it just auto add to your games list in the PlayNC account?
/me is pondering b/c I think my mail server might have been down and not gotten any emails for a while yester day....
Lvl 6 Scraper here. Name is Sabrar, I play on Prime. I seriously love it so far, might ditch Horizons for it and preorder in a few days.
Character creation is indeed awesome. I think I'm gonna head off and play some more. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Oh yeah, I got to level 6 Scrapper today too. I've gotten my 3rd contact, and can fly(albiet REALLY REALLY SLOW. The fast one comes at 14- in which case I'll be getting it along with many other things). I love how flying isn't just a way of transportation either- You actually become invulnerable to most melee attackers, but some can still get you(if they have the ability to do a air-strike). So now I'm immune to everything but the enemy blasters/controllers, which are weak anyway, my KATANA SHALL CUT THEM DOWN!
Man, this thing rocks. Not as much as FFXI, but it definately kicks ****.

I'm all thinking about signing up for this, but I've got a couple questions:
1st: How're the pings? My university over here has something with not letting much bandwidth squeak out, so I get pings of 400+ in HL (except occasionally at 3 am...when it'll be 200
2nd: Where're the system requirements at? Looking at the shots, it looks liked I'd have no real problem with it overall, but you can't be sure.
3rd. The PlayNC account asks for my phone number (while I'm not overly sure about giving out my address, that only affects me, as people at home put my mail in a big pile for when I come home every 2-4 weeks)...but phone number...my dorm has one, but I'm only going to be here another month, and for home, I don't want to bug my mom with call from people that would probably majorly **** her off <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

I made up a address and phone number and what not and was thinking. Will that decide if i dont or do make it into a beta. Why do they need to know where i live anyways. Do they plan to come to my house if i do something naughty lol.

Hover isn't worth flying around with(slow as hell, even with upgrades full), but Fly is great for travel.

Oddly, even though I too am a scrapper, I use this quite frequently in my hard fights.
And BTW- THIS MMORPG PLAYS LIKE A ACTION GAME. ESPECIALLY IN A PARTY. Man, it was freaky the first time I figured out "Hey, if I jump when that troll hits the ground with his super jump, then I won't be damaged! SWEET!"(being the damage was around 50 points or higher with it, figuring that out seriously helped me out, as did many things in the battles). Now I'm learning there is a USABLE COUNTER(aka, something you in the real world can make your character do that second) to everything your enemies do. Like now, I get up next to my enemy, then slash until his buddies take out range weapons, then I slice(multi-enemy hitting abilty), so they stop shooting. And being the damage for all my stuff(I put a LOT of damage counters on the simple brawl) is pretty high, they all have knockback, or disorient statuses, which is pretty cool.
I'm starting to seriously think about getting this, its like FFXI- keeps finding another reason to wrap me in.
And how do you take screenshots w/ the interface still on? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Ahh that would be the old school:

yes, I havn't played this game and I am stil ltweaking.
@Quaunaut: Do you think this game is going to be worth $$? is it honestly fun combat?
For that matter, who is actualy planing on buying this one?
You use a power/move. Then, you gotta wait for that power to charge back up. But while your doing that, you can use another power/move. Some take longer to charge then others, so you want to use those first so you can use the short ones in the meantime so your not left idling.

OMG This game rocks. I absolutely love it. I'm gonna pre-order it just so I get that 3 day head start after the beta ends...
