I don't think they're doing guild beta invites, yet.  Everyone I know who is in didn't get in as part of a guild, just as lucky individuals.

Just flame enough about Mythic and how they are copying WoW and he'll come flying in with an outrageous reply in less time than you could say "guild beta invite pleeeeeaase".

Sorry to de-rail a bit here, but I signed up for the f13 guild beta invite thing when the thread was around a few months ago, but never heard anything about it since. Did it fall through when they put the beta on hold?

Thanks.

First comment on the page when I watched:

Quote from: Random Internet Warhammer fanboi

^^^ Cant argue with that!   ACK!

That vid doesnt do it for me.  It doesnt look bad, it looks like WoW.  I like how the dwarves came out though.  That Hammerer and Ironbreaker looked great.  Black Orcs look pretty sick too.  Swordmasters in dresses look stupid. 

In any event I'm trying it out no matter what heh.

I'll be there to try it out too but, again, it looks so STATIC. Every single video that's remotely related to combat just looks stiff and stationary to me.

The camera is held still and all the characters run straight to their target then just sit there and beat on one another.  They rarely pan the camera, and not in any sweeping manner which might give one the impression of an epic battle.  Characters don't move once in combat, circle one another, or do anything interesting.  It is static, and it makes the game look very, very boring.

Also the battle music is better suited to showing scenes preparing for such, not for the battle itself.  Since they use it for the whole clip, one is left wondering when the fight is going to start even after it has.

Played DAoC for 5+ years.  The music got turned off on day 2. 

In other words, I agree.

Oh man... Those fuckers were a pain. There was a dungeon (I think level 35+) that was full of them. Spent many hours with my headphones off in that one.

Did anyone play with music on?

I played Wow with music off by reflexive habit carved out of playing DAOC. I think I turned on the music a year later because a friend said, "doesn't Un'goro music remind you of Jurassic Park?"  (It did indeed).

That is a good way to describe it. Just very mechanical and stiff. Nothing about this game's combat is even remotely fresh or exciting. I find I'm really not even interested in the game at all anymore. I hear beta is back up but I doubt I'll even bother.

Spraggon Den!


Doesn't compare to the awesomeness of Muire Tomb. Zone in, die to red/purple con skeletons coming up through the floor and walls.  awesome, for real




I let the SI ambient music run for a while, Hibs was all mellow. WoW's music gets turned on and off depending if I am watching TV/Radio etc. It doesn't make me want to kill myself the way DaoC's music did.

Did anybody actually listen to the disclaimer in the beginning of the video? This isn't even intended to show anything near a "real" RvR battle, it's rather a tech-preview.

Gotcha.  They have auto-attack and use a look similar to WoW.  With more brown and grey.

What 'tech' were they showing then?  I can be excited about technical aspects, too.

At this juncture I'm still not impressed.
