Well,

I've been in the WAR beta since the very first phase and i just jumped on to play the latest beta build.  This game has come a loooooooooooooong way and the feedback and changes mythic has made since the first phase has been unbelievable.  The game looks amazing!  Everyone waiting for WAR will be very happy with the game (in it's current state).  I can only imagine how much better it will be in a few months!

Kudos Mythic!

Regardless what your views are on exploiting the fact is this game should never have been shipped with these major types of bugs.  It's poor programming on Funcom's part.   Fanboys would never point the finger at funcom for this mess!

Been playing the game since Tuesday and I wish I never picked it up.  In my opinion the graphics are way over-rated.  It just like EQ2 on very high setting.  Movement is odd.  Moving forward and back is smooth, once you trying making a turn it’s clunky as hell.

The UI is an absolute mess.  The chat box is extremely clunky and very frustrating to try and talk to someone. 

It's very easy to get stuck on objects, or fall between cracks, I’ve used the /stuck command about 100 times so far.

The combat system is nothing special.  Remove the auto attack from any standard MMO and this is your combat system.  The directional attacks are absolutely nothing more then auto attack, or additional attacks to start a combo depending on when you use them.  Using them in combo’s works exactly like any other ability in an MMO requiring a pre req.

Funcom got long ways to go, especially on the UI.  It's one of the most important features and they really FUBAR that

And for all those people stating how mature this community would be?  You are so wrong.  The community is aweful.

I find this number hard to believe.  I logged into the game last night and hardly any servers had a heavy population.  On launch day there servers should have been pounded.  Or this can show they added way to many server and might cause population issues in the future.

anyone looking to join a casual destruction guild please visit www.darkaurora.net and apply.

i'm seeking officers as well.  this is a start up guild!

FAIRFAX, VA - FEBRUARY 9, 2005 - Mythic Entertainment^®, developer and publisher of the massively-multiplayer online role-playing game Dark Age of Camelot^®, today announced that the game's Realm vs. Realm (RvR) clustering patch resulted in one of the largest battles ever seen in an MMORPG. Last night, players participated in a massive RvR combat session where more than 1,500 characters simultaneously fought one another on a single battlefield. RvR is Mythic's unique implementation of Player vs. Player (PvP) combat, and this unprecedented RvR session was made possible through the new server clustering technology, which was launched on several Dark Age of Camelot servers on February 8.

what your seeing on AOC board is a prime example as why mythic won't have official forums.

the game has gone through a lot of changes since that video, i would take old video's with a grain of salt.

There is information on that page as well for PQ.

There is no housing, and they have released nothing on crafting, they are keeping a tight lid on that.

not sure what your complaining about

Well the "Beta Reviews" you have read are wrong.  People who are writing reviews that are in the Beta are breaking the NDA, and most likely have been booted out of beta for some reason before they wrote that review. 

Both US and EU servers will be patched at the same time.   Both servers will be on the same version of the game.

I would not assume you get to play right away.  The game is still in closed beta and under an NDA.

I would wait for their official announcement.

This thread is a perfect example why they do not need offical forums.

Everyone who has played DAOC know how powerful the Camelot Herald was.  There  is no need for "official forums" when you have a resource like the herald.

It has been stated over and over again that the Warherald will function just like the camelotherald only better.

I'm laughing at all the people that keep saying they are using a crappy outdated game engine.  I do hope you people realize the game engine they are using ( Gamebryo) is the same game engine used for Oblivion. 

Yes, Oblivion graphics are way outdated.

And BTW, go to a convention they are at and play the game.  Screenshots do not do the game justice.

From what i have read/hear all the tanks will have a few base abilties that will be the same, but the classes in general will be totally different then each other.

I hope everyone realises that the last version of beta was an extremely early version of beta and the game wasn't even near complete.  That does not mean on their internal server the game isn't complete

The city's do not just get reset.  Over time npc's get spawned and attempt to retake the city, the longer you hold it the more npcs get spawned.  If you have a large enough force to defend that city it will take a while for the NPC's to finally gain control. 

People stop thinking the city automatically gets reset after x amount of time once you capture the enemy capital.  Thats not how it works at all.  

I'm actually in beta, thanks anyway!

Media is not even suppose to be in Beta!  So someone broke the NDA.

Tentonhammer should be punished for breaking the NDA agreement.  What is posted on that board should not be released AT ALL until mythic publicly releases it!
