What's up with everyone in these robes? I'm like the only one that doesn't have one lol

[shakey]

lol, after like 4 hours, 50% done on the patching.... this is taking forever. Going to leave it over the night, bound to be done in 8 hours.

[SooperDoode]

If there are still any keys floating around I'd absolutely love to give this a try. I understand the rules and want my name in bolded green :p

[Grant A.]

Grant A. and TechGuyPA, when you register Sethos' key and get 2 back, please shoot me a PM with at least 1 key attached.

I changed the rules a bit so I could distribute the keys to everyone on the list instead of relying on people who may not be monitoring this post as closely as I am.

Please read the first post again with the updates if you have any questions.

Doing great so far guys! Hopefully everyone here gets a key before the servers start tomorrow!

Your inbox must be full; I can't send you a PM. Please send me a PM when you're able to receive again, as I won't be checking this thread often.

Eastern server is now up. Creating my toon on east.

It's what you see when their armors are not loaded.

Sent out a few more keys. Still got quite a bit left. Come grab em by replying!

Off to bed for now, will check back tomorrow!

[agent_9000]

Again, you're a one post wonder.

Apply on the site, usually Neowin gives keys to people who are established members of the community.

Welcome to the site, not that it matters as we'll never see you again.

Man, this game runs like utter poop on this rig. I mean, I figured since it's Source based I'd be good to go, but holy cow! Either the game is totally not optimized properly yet and it's buggy and runs poorly in spots, or this rig sucks worse than I thought!

Still, I love the combat in the game so far :D

[McCordRm]

Ok, my buddy decided he wouldn't be getting the game to try out.

SO, I have one more key to hand out. Who still needs one?

*And no, if you haven't been around a while then you don't get it.*

[Bei337]

The one post wonders, surprisingly, are not all leechers so far! As long as he gives one key or two back, there's no loss here :) Besides, if he does decide to check back often, it's a nice little welcome present!

I updated the OP, which says if you guys want, post your in game name here, and I will put it right next to your name on the list, so we can add each other to the friend list!

[SMELTN]

For now my name is Nwwb

once my girl Evie comes out I will have a new name :)

[MightyJordan]

Anyone else unable to connect to the server? I keep getting these messages:

Response form server delayed.

You have been disconnected from the server.

Retry, then:

Account authentification has failed.

Please try again after logging in through the website.

And so on. :(

[shakey]

Ouch, on Med Low settings, this game is stuttering and puttering along. Was only able to run around town for like 10 minutes this morning before work, but after work, I will set everything to low and try again. I hope it get optimized greatly, and soon.

[Nagisan]

I created my character on East about 10 minutes ago.....not sure if its still up or not, I was remoting in from work and getting about 2-3 FPS, so I had to skip the prologue (I'll play it again once I get home on a throw-away character), but I was on so I know the servers were up a little bit ago.

[ylcard]

@MightyJordan

Yeah I have the exact same issue as you do.

It asked for a firewall exception and I allowed it, maybe it requires something else ?

[Evolution]

After East was down I created another character on West :/ So now I have a higher level guy on West. Are we still going to stick with East? I'd like to know how reliable East will be in the future.

[Nagisan]

Went home at lunch so I could eat quickly and play through the prologue area, and I REALLY like the combat so far, I love how you can combo things together and it just feels so open, mouse 1 three times then mouse 2 (spinning attack that hits things around you) then "e" to grab the enemy in front of you and bash him, it just seems really open and fluid. The only thing so far that I do not like about the game is mouse control in combat. Currently, your character attacks in whatever direction you are looking, which makes sense if you are standing still swinging your sword, but if you are moving and attacking your character should attack in the direction he is moving, NOT turn to look towards your mouse direction, attack, then turn back and move in your movement direction. If they change that, the combat will be perfect, allowing you to focus on something while attacking in all directions, but considering thats the only downside I have seen yet, it is looking really good so far.

[treemonster]

i got mixed up that way a couple times last night nagisan, but i also found it fluid to change attack direction with my mouse when surrounded by a group of mobs. i guess both have pros and cons, but i like it the way it is now. there's been a few times where've ive done half a combo in one direction, then finished in it in the opposite direction, killing the whole group in one combo.

Yes, we are sticking with East! Something tells me if the East is unreliable, then so will West. Just East was out of luck at launch. Hopefully it gets stable soon!

I just like to be able to focus in one area (such as if your group was fighting a boss and you were killing adds) while attacking in another. It improves focus on certain things while making it easier (IMO at least) to attack in any direction you want without taking your focus off of something else. You can do the same thing no matter which method of attacking it uses (follow the mouse or follow the movement), I personally just find it easier if it follows movement because generally, if you are moving, you are trying to attack something in that direction (dodging excluded for obvious reasons). Maybe they can add it as an option.

If you think about how melee works in other Source engine games (HL2, TF2, L4D, etc), you always attack in the direction your mouse aims, so I doubt they can change that without modifying the engine a lot...

Also, guys, if you have a char on East, please let us know your alias!
