Title: Random idiocy is not dead. Unfortunately.
Post by: Lanei on April 18, 2004, 08:12:49 AM
I preordered, but haven't received my beta e-mail yet.  Alkiera preordered after I did, and has.  Gamestop needs to die.

Thats a tangent.

Thanks to Alk's generosity,  I was able to make a character and play for a few hours last night.  I made my Natural Katana/Reflexes Scrapper on Justice last night during the stress test.

Capsule review:  Game runs great, darned good graphically, good frame rate.  Gameplay rules.

I made it to level 4 in a few hours, despite getting the crap kicked out of me several times by random groups of red mobs on the streets.  I never died during a mission that was instanced for me.

The only major FPS issues I had was that every single time I ran up to Ms Liberty, there was at least one moron standing in the crowd there casting AE heals.  As you might imagine, this causes a fairly severe framerate hit.  A LOT of people were in various channels telling them to knock it the fuck off.  Another friend of mine could not stay connected to the game because of it, and I'm sure his problem was not isolated.

Sidenote: The prestige movement power absolutely rules.
