Hellgate: London

The current state of Hellgate london reminds me a lot of ......dissapointing releases like.....Vanguard, Horizons, EQ2 and many other MMO's...it is just not ready for release, its buggy as hell, will these big developers never learn?

I hope that AoC and TCoS will do better, so us europeans show the world that people want to buy finished games and not open beta projects.

The only bugs/errors ive found so far as a level 12 blademaster are ravagers dying in mid air and floating there, and the memory leak crashes that they've already fixed, and are probably implementing now.

Please be more specific? NDA is lifted so might aswell do something crazy and actually back up your arguments with proof, or atleast point out which bugs there are.

I would say there are a few minor lag issues. But compared to a week ago when there were unexpected crashes a few times a night, this game looks tons better now in beta. If everyone read the official FSS statement about patch0, I think a lot of questions would be answered. Of course we won't have to wait long. Do I think there will be problems at lauch? Yes. The severity and the speed  they get resolved is what will tell the tale. I have confidence that FSS will come out of this looking good.

HGL's half-assed demo is still 10x more polished then Vanguard.

Anything beats Vanguard. Hell, even Habbo Hotel and Runescape tear VG up, and they both suck.

Try playing the game on Vista64, DX10......

It crashes all the time and slows down to mudspeed, where all other DX10 games run flawless with my current driver set-up

---------------------------

Tough i realise my initiall post might be somewhat to harsh (((SInce i was somewhat irritated by the fact that i have not been able to log intoo the beta for 3 days now))) But it holds still true that the game was not quite ready for release. There is no ballance between the classes yet, so people will cry when the nerf-bat hits them full in the face. many promised feautures like PvP arena's will not make release. Hell, PvP is implemented in the poorest way possible. Next tot hat many quests are still bugged espescially at higher levels.

And while comparing it to Vanguard at release may sound unfair, its a fact that all these companies including EA and SOE are trying to sell us their unfinished unpollished games.

I am still having multiple crashes with Vista 32 bit. Even after their day long maintenance yesterday, the game is for the most part, uplayable.

No offense but how about upgrading to Win XP instead of the *insert expletive* that Vista is.

I can only comment about the DX9 demo and it runs flawlessly on my OLD machine (athlon 2500 and radeon 9800 gfx). I have most settings on high.
