Makes me wanna learn this now, been looking for video gamey stuff to learn that has some sort of personal memory's attached to it, Don;t soppose you did make a tab to this but hay ill do my best to learn it for funsies anyway.

Awesome job.

Most the digital games (at least in the Uk i don't know about other regions) are usually £10 or sometimes more expensive than buying a retail copy of the game some games selling at £50-£60 when the usual price at a retail is usually about £30-£40 tops depending on the game for what you would call a new full priced game. I would love to buy digitally if the prices weren't so stupidly priced.

Kinda agree with you snark, mainly since i don;t really think lighting is the sort of woman to want to dress up all half naked and sexy like, just doesn't fit her personality to me.

You could just start as pugilist, where you start doesn't decide your allegiance towards a city state as you decide that later on in the story quests when you join the one of the 3 grand company. leaning towards ul'dah myself since i enjoy the layout and am more used to it myself and that was kind of the defualt gathering city back in 1.0 since we had to do all the content seeking for party's by using /shouts back then, ahh the good(bad) old days..

This is a pretty great starter up and nice faq for people who don't already know this stuff. Thumbs up!

SS Dump!

It has allot of quality in its production, its a pretty good 'another mmo' it definitely will not be the 'next big thing' if you don't enjoy the standard mmo affair of hot-bars and quests. Theres a bunch of stuff to like about the game and it has a general good high quality but its totally preference on if it will get you hooked or not like any mmo each one is for a certain niche of the audience.

Of its uniqueness from other mmos, its crafting system is actually enjoyable and not just clicking one button once you have your materials, they do actually feel like they're own class and not just some side thing, i don;t know if other mmos have gathering class's at least the ones i have played didn't but also the gathering classes offer something of a difference peaceful pace and offers something a little different to change it up a bit instead of only doing combat based things. While it is not unqiue it has Guild Wars 2 Open world quests called FATEs and such, the game use's a bunch of the good things from mmo's and use's them here. The game is very story and dialoge focused and the actual writing is pretty good, its not a bioshock infinite story that will shock you and make you go nuts over it but its done in a good way with characters that will end up being recognizable and familiar.

Controller support is pretty great, as well as how they handle movement and animations making your character feel less of a generic mmo character that moves like a tank, doesn't sound like much but it makes a big difference to me. And the game looks great obviously, graphics don't make a game but it sure helps when you have other things pulling it together like the amazing soundtrack for the game.

Try the Beta or open beta if you can't get that and see for yourself is the only way to really tell.

Will be using my 1.0 char and have them moved over to excaliber for when the switch happens. Was anyone making a GB link shell for there or is that just where some people are known to be going, be nice to know either way.

Hay its a screenshot thread so screenshots!

The first few dungeons are pretty easy, and other than a couple bits here and there yeah there isn't too much skill that needs to happen to finish them, do get the impression they are basically easy mode tutorial/exp for low levels anyway, i still need to try the other level 32 which is the highest atm but more interested to see how the 24 people dungeons turn out since i reckon that's where some of the interesting stuff could happen like in Xi.

Fingers crossed get to mess with that in phase 4 but i wont hold my breath.

The client is about 28mb and the update was about 6 gigs
