Sky, you've gone beyond just stalking Hartsman now, haven't you?

Nice job!

[Tarami]

Has anyone had their key yet?

[Pennilenko]

no

[rattran]

According to Abigale later in the thread:

Just a quick update.

It took us a little longer to get everyone entered into the data base this evening than we had expected. I'm not sure if the invites will get sent tonight. But the winning accounts should already be enabled. If your guild was listed, log into your account and you should have the option to accept the EULA and then proceed to the download.

So, log in and Don't Panic.

[Tarami]

Not panicking, just curious. I have a key for this weekend already so I'm cool.

[Lantyssa]

Nada yet, but I'm not really concerned about it.

Wow, that's awesome! Wish we had more people respond by the deadline, though. I think there were maybe 8 or 9 total interested (beyond the initial 5 we received).

I guess I will have to download and play this after all, I was going to spend the weekend playing Risen and Just Cause 2, now I'm going to have to roll up mah cleric. :) Hope I can get a decent download rate.

[Ghambit]

Really need a better way to meet up and get organized.

[Tarami]

I suggest IRC. f13 used to have a channel?

[rattran]

There's a teamspeak3 stickied at the the top of the forum. Ask Nix nicely to make a channel

[Ghambit]

Nobody's ever in there.  I pop in from time to time.

[veredus]

Has everyone gotten their VIP keys? I still don't have mine. No biggie yet since already in this event at least.

[Sky]

Did you go look on your account page at the riftgame site? Should be enabled on there with an NDA/download link.

Only took me about two hours to download the client, it's 6.88GB (and re-usable in later beta events, wish I had known that before I deleted beta1).

Also, Nix, please make a TS channel for us :) Would be nice to coordinate servers, at the very least. Everyone who got in, jump on there.

[veredus]

Ya, my VIP key is not showing though. I posted in that Guild winner thread and Abigale gave me a link to get it fixed. So if anyone else didn't get it that was supposed to, let me know and I'll include you too.

[waffel]

Ugh, hopefully next beta for me.

I swear this damn Curse 'key' is worthless.

I didn't seem to get a key either. Username is same as here, would be great if you could include me in your report, please.

[Hoax]

Nice work Sky.

Me personally? I'm not sold on how the game looks in videos and I can't help of think of SB when I hear about the skill building system's complexity.  I have always wanted to see someone try to make the world more dynamic though I'm not sure if the Rifts matter if you aren't building player towns/outposts somewhere.

Not sure if this will be the AAA+ gold plated with honors MMO (read: we want $60 + $15/mo) that gets me to try a MMO again but it at least has something going for it which is much more than I can say for most of these titles.

[Threash]

You say that like it's bad.  Character build complexity was the best thing about sb.

[Xilren's Twin]

Apparently it IS Christmas after all

PM me the email address you sent Sky and I'll turn it in today.



Edit: Sent it in. Tarami I never got your email address so could not include you. Sorry bud.

Don't worry about it mate. Honestly I've seen all I need to see, really.

Beta weekend, very few posts....

GUYS, STOP HAVING FUN  

Why aren't you guys complaining about the servers being down, or crashing, or other-things-you-can-mention-without-breaking-the-NDA?

I'm sure stuff like that is happening nonstop in the beta... right? ....right?

Its snowing here, the days are short, as you can imagine, there isn't a lot to do outside.

[Lantyssa]

All of that would likely be breaking the NDA.  It's kind of the problem with betas that have wide acceptance.  Speculation has to go down because people know, and around here at least, we attempt to respect NDAs.  (Also it's getting close to the holiday season.)

[Threash]

I really wish there was talent calcs available already, I've spent both weekends doing nothing but rerolling to check everything but it's not quite the same without all the points to play with.

[Sky]

Beta weekends at the holidays = fail. For the next few rounds, I promise to try and organize a bit better. Using TS is definitely a good idea, since we can't set up a board here.

Beta 2 Wrap Up from Scott Hartsman

All I can say is the event he talked about was awesome.

The part where he talks about the soul system and how good it is and how they are making everything available earlier? That's EXACTLY what i would have posted they should do if there wasn't an NDA.  Fucking perfect.

[Lantyssa]

I didn't get to play unfortunately, but I am so glad on the Soul acquisition going forward.  I was worried they would go the other way.  Great change since the diversity of Souls is one of the unique things the game offers and being chintzy with it would be a huge negative.

[Sky]

Scott's always talking about his vest. Until he talks about what he has up his sleeve, I have to think it means this:



We'll just call you Scott Sr.

[Mrbloodworth]

massively says the NDA is lifted.

Until Trion posts "NDA lifted" in big ass letters, you won't see me commenting on anything.

[Murgos]

In time for Beta 3, expect to see all of the souls available to choose from the outset, more souls available earlier in the experience, and more total points to spend. The system is there, and it’s fun, and there’s no reason to hide it from people.

Soul Preview: This one was always on the list of things we’d like to do. After Beta 1, it got promoted to the top of it. It made the “We absolutely need this” list after Beta 2. The goal is to get it out there in time for Beta 3.

Both of these issues were my two of my top three complaints so I am glad that they are being addressed.  The not having a 'preview' before making a permanent choice was just bang your head painful.
