i'm gonna try a mage type toon. i hear they have really slow casting speed though. there some kind of warrior caster hybrid soul but i tend to regret rolling mdps in mmo's and it's one intersting soul in an archetype filled with stuff i don't want to do.

but yeah i was getting 471kbps from teh launcher yesterday. and the whole logging in to patch thing is always annoying imho, just because i like to patch up the game and then pay for game time. it's actually one of the factors holding me back from resubbing to STO right now.

Ask about the log in thing on the forums, the devs are actually really responsive to the community - and if others feel the way you do i imagine they would change it (unless they are planning on it anyway).

There is a beta event from the 25th to the 28th if anyone wants to try it. Look on their Facebook page in the comments for a VIP key that works. It took about 10 minutes to get a beta invitation e-mail.

(You can find it yourself easily. I do not wish to spam for them. :D)

looking forward to the beta tomorrow, already bored of cata so hoping this is good.

no idea what class to play though, haven't even looked at the classes or anything for this game really. playing around with this http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html though, NECROS!

The great thing is that you don't need to choose a class based on their name, as the souls deviate from the connotation the names usually hold - like the fact that rogues can tank and play support.

i'll be playing a limited amount of time this beta to specifically test how combat feels with the animations the game has. i think this is my biggest area of concern with the game because combat animations have a huge effect on combat and gameplay in that without good ones you are basically stuck staring at the UI to know what is actually happening in the game, and the videos i've watched of rift combat so far have basically been the player waving his arms at something until it dies.

Am I too early to the party, or they have some difficulties/delays? Announcement says that the party starting at 18:00 GMT.

It's now 18:14, and I can't get in: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/5233/rift.png

Mine says the same thing. I thought 10:00am PST was 1:00pm EST (which is where I am) unless they are having problems.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
