I'm getting a freezing problem every now and then.  It's basically preventing me from going hardcore atm.  Also, i'm on Vista 64, so it might just be me!

[Oban]

I am running XP and had the freeze glitch hit me last night while playing in nightmare mode.

Happy happy...

[MrHat]

Heh.

I'm with Morf on this.  I had all my CC info ready to go for a 6-month sub then I closed the window.  Just not worth it atm I think.  The biggest draw for me is the shared bank space which isn't it.  Couple that with the 3 unique I have in the bank that have no stats on them, the random bugs with everything (party bug), and the shit chat window and I can wait till they fix to sub.

I get freezing, but I've been chalking that up to lag since it clears itself.  That's when I get out of synch.  It freezes for about 5-8 seconds and then all the mobs act like I'm not there half the time or come from half a zone away to attack me.  I can tell the game thinks I'm in one place, but the graphics are in another.  Like I said, I zone out and back in again in those cases.

Yeah, I wouldn't chance hardcore either.  Well, that is if you are prepared to have a HUGE tantrum ready when you do bite it due to lag/system problems.

Same.  I have no desire to sub at the moment.  No reason for me to.  I'll just keep playing it as is.

No one here seems to have my problem, but it really makes the game unplayable online. I'll just keep messing about in single player till they fix it I guess. I spent something like an hour yesterday trying to play and actually managing to die a bunch of times. Didn't even finish one quest. WHINE WHINE I'm just disappointed and waiting for a patch.

[Tmon]

I've taken to rebooting after every play session.  It seems to help since I can go for a couple hours (which thanks to RL issues is about the most I can play) without a problem.  If I forget then I can lock up within a half hour.

[MrHat]

Alright.

FUCK THAT.

I just killed Sydonai after dying alot (ill built summoner).  So it cuts to that cinematic.  After cinematic, it lets me see all the beautiful blue and orange loot on the floor, then bugs me out to the credits.

The end.

Fuck that, I didn't get my items.

[schild]

Yea. Not as bad as what happened to me. But you can kill him over and over.

[MrHat]

I subbed and rolled a guardian elite.

[schild]

lawl

You are so weak.

[MrHat]

I know.

I almost subbed to WoW, but the wow.com talent calc wasn't updated yet and saved me.

Can anyone tell me why Hellgate doesnt follow it's own internal logic?

Namely that money is now replaced with the element palladium. Palladium is damaging to the demon hordes, which is why every demon carries it around???

How does that make sense?

That's one of those things that you're supposed to ignore as it's a game thing.

[geldonyetich2]

In-Character excuses are easy to make with a little imagination:  When demons are defeated, a part of their corpse transmutes to Palladium, which damages demonkind.  Done, yay!

[Ratman_tf]

I never knew palladium harmed demons. Of course, I don't read the quest text and skip all the cutscenes.

The graphics blow chunks. The mobs arent varied. The quests are boring. There's no exciting story arc. The weapon modification makes no difference.
What the fuck were they thinking when they made this?

Weapon mod'ing is the best part, wtf are you talking about?  Fuck this game on most levels but weapon mod'ing?  What?

I can set zombies on fire. If they can just fix the multiplayer bugs (Sly and I get the "can't see the other player" bug so freqently we're getting used to it) I'll consider it 50 bucks well spent.

I read one of you mention that the beta accounts were still working.  Thanks so much for mentioning that, as it's the best Free game I've ever played.    It's not enough to get me to buy it, but for some reason I enjoy this a hell of a lot more than I ever did D2.  I think it's the ability to be a dual pistol character who runs around setting demons on fire and generally fucking shit up.   There's been a number of times I was dissapointed there weren't MORE things to kill on a level, rather than saying "aw fuck there's too goddamn many of them" like I did with D2.

Of course, I'm only level 7 right now so that might change.   Still, fire guns + demons + fps = fun.

Pretty sure that was me, and you're welcome. Still worth the free price, at least until Wednesday the 21st (and possibly longer if they extend it again).

In a couple levels, the XM313 rocket pistols should show up. I love mine. 600 rounds/minute of pure explosive love. Dual wielded for 1200 rounds/minute, along with ricochet and reflected shot and my party now terms them "the lag guns". But they absolutely MELT things.

[Engels]

Come on, its a hoot to play. I can play for well over an hour without realising I'm throwing away time with something completely pointless. Its worse than Tetris this way. There's occasionally decent writing, and some good humor, but lets face it, its all about the explosions, the pew pew. So far, there's not even any really tough challenges with fighting (granted, I'm only level 14 or so).

[Merusk]

Awww.. beta test access is now cut-off.  Pity, I was having fun.  Not worth the $50 at this time, imo.  Maybe if the price drops in a few months, but it was fun while it lasted.
