What class you playing?

PM me might see you in game,

My main is a Black Orc at the moment, have a Bright Wizard and a Choppa too though

Br4tPr1nc3

i have a bright wizard, squig herder and a dwarf hammerer.
but im really liking my knight of the blazing sun since they put them in!!!

KoKane

still no invite in my email...
Must be something wrong with their system...

Ivan

Some people really need to research the whole "NDA" concept...

KoKane

I kinda knew those classes were gonna be in the game tho
Also had a little inkling that it might be enjoyable.

Ivan

It isnt really about what you knew or didnt know... its about what we're legally entitled to discuss, without being ejected from the Beta and/or sued.

nix

Anybody got a link to all the breakdowns of the races/classes ?

I know what an NDA is.
I really doubt they'd get booted for posting the above.

If they did, then I could email Mythic giving names of people and say that they've said "im really liking my knight of the blazing sun since they put them in!!!"

:P

Sounds like I'm argueing for the sake of it tho, as you werent even talking about me in the first place. lol.
So yeh, carefull all ye who have signed the NDA. They might just be watching

Would really suck to lose Beta aswell.

WellyJ

Working for an MMO that is in competition is also a big no no when signing up for the Beta

Worse then mentioning a few classes imo.

KoKane

lol @ ur sig.

Any idea what the pay is like for a job as a GM or such, for example in the new GOA place in dublin.
Was considering it.

KilbarrackBlows

Any time i try sign up for beta i put in my password and then again like it ask's you to but it keeps saying incorect password bla bla its pissing me off :mad:

There's also the fact that anyone who rats out someone who breaks the NDA, automatically gets in the Beta. Hey Br4tPr1nc3, what's your characters name? Just out of curiosity

I had trouble with that myself. Just click the "forgot password" button, give them your email and the answer to you super sercret question, then they send out an email. Click on the link in the mail and you'll be asked to create a new password.

i never posted ANYTHING that broke the nda.
i didnt post screenshots.
i didnt post fraps footage,
i didnt tell you about anything that you couldnt already find out with newsletters.
oh and i didnt let anyone else play

so your wasting your time.

and i dont think that people who rat others out get into the beta

humanji

I think they should for the simple reason that it'll give people extra incentive not to break the NDA (plus it's a chance for me to get in!!! )

They actually do this. Its a very good way of enforcing the NDA, as who would risk losing their place?

Venom

Ratting on NDA breakers wont directly get you into beta but it gets them the boot and the next person on the list then gets a beta account. So depending on where you are on the list it does have some merit

Br4tPr1nc3 and wellyj beware lol.

Nothing i said breached the NDA at all, and my username/i.p. used here do not tie me to my warhammer account at all!

I think I will be ok.

Dude read what an NDA is again. Your stroking of your e-penis about being in the beta is more than enough to get booted out.

Well that's not what Wikipedia says:

Blessed Be Wikipedia wrote:

EA Mythic is also very protective of their non-disclosure agreement (NDA). They will readily ban any who they catch breaking the NDA, and if the NDA breaker was reported by another applicant, they will admit the one who reported them, effectively creating a system that polices itself.

and the internet wouldn't lie to us. Would it?:D

Hence the joke comment after it. But sometimes humour doesn't translate on the internet :rolleyes:

Yeah, I have a mate who was thinking of buying a house that's currently being built.
He hasn't seen it yet but it IMO it looks horrible worse than a finished house and according to other friends that have seen it, they think same.
Told my mate, dont hate on me, as I was just letting him know.

I really don't see how it looks "horrible" from a viewing perspective; bearing in mind there isn't even a lighting system implemented in many of the screenshots and videos available at the moment.

Age of Conan is probably going to be the only MMO with supposedly "next-gen" graphics; but it's going to need a beast of a machine to run properly.

Personally I think it's plenty prettier than WoW.

KoKane

Aye, that's what my poor attempt at a sarcastic comment was trying to say.

They've been making the content of the game and making sure it all works. If I were a game designer, I'd leave the graphics till last.
Obviously not too late tho

Venom

Saw some really early vids of WAR ages back and it looked crap alright but the game has come such a long way since then I really dont see how you could claim it looked worse than WoW.

Ivan

I've heard Age of Conan was pushed back because they were unable to deliver on the graphic detail and game play they promsied.

Warhammer does indeed look mneh, but DAoC is one of my all time favourite MMO's and I think it looks like dirt.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for me at least, that translates into
"If it plays good, its bloody good"

I'm still quite looking forward to it.

Reku

I'd rather awesome gameplay over pretty images anyday... would be nice to see the pained expressions and blood spatter when you kill someone though...;)
gameplay = gamemaker/breaker
graphics = can live with whatever they throw at us once I can tell what's what.

KoKane

Yup, gameplay can outdo graphics.
Like Ivan said, look at DAOC.
Even look at Ultima Online lol.

Sweet just got an email saying I've got into the Beta. Won't get a chance to try it til next weekend though. Can't wait

ronivek

Lucky sod! Make sure and be very careful when going through the confirmation process to download the client etc. Just make sure and read everything carefully.

Reku

Anyone know from previous/current (don't have to say which ) Beta testing of MMORGs experience as to what sort of time commitment they'd expect as I just started playing Eve on Friday and if they're sending out more invites to this and I get one I don't want to completely ignore Eve for Warhammer? Add to that that I'll have a bit of a hectic schedule for the next month or so so it'd be irregular play times (some days lots of time, other times it could be days between log-ons)...

Care to mention any specifics?

hairyheretic

From my previous beta testing, I wasn't given specific things to test. Simply play as you would normally, and try to break the game

Drakar

Normally once you get in you're safe. You don't have to play at all, or play as much as you like and you'll be in til the end.

Oh, I applied for the European beta on Wednesday and got an email on Thursday saying I was accepted, so it seems they are taking on a good few.

Reku

Ok, thanks guys, nice to know as I got invited to a corporation in Eve and don't want them to feel I'm abandoning them if I do get a beta invite for this. While I am finding Eve interesting and challenging at parts (so missed the challege in new games I'd been buying, as in was finding them too easy) curiousity would probably get to me, then there's the fact of if invited I'd kinda feel obligated to try help out.:o

I applied on the day it opened, and still haven't got a beta invite :mad:

Well you only get one shot to confirm your acceptance and if you close your browser or any of the confirmation windows you effectively lose your spot in the beta.

You're asked a few questions also; the main one in relation to your employment or lack thereof within the Games Industry. Again you only get one shot to continue and if you click the wrong button, you lose your spot.

As I said, once everything is read carefully there shouldn't be a problem.

Reku

Wow, imagine a few people probably got PO-ed that they accidentally lost their position...

ronivek

Yea, lots. I'm not sure I have a whole lot of sympathy for those who don't bother reading things before clicking but it's definately not nice.

Venom

New beta invites went out today so check your mailboxes

KoKane

How did or DO you know when the mails go out?
