This looks really interesting, I've been following the game for quite a while. Never got in the beta, though. The game is a lot different than your standard DotA type game so you shouldn't pass on this game if you don't like the others. I love the fact that it's a purely skill-based game without any leveling or items, it's all about how good you can handle your character and his skills. The various game modes are also a huge plus.
One big minus is that the game will not have a built-in VOIP will make playing pub games a living hell. That said, I hope I get a mail from them soon.

I'm hoping to play it this weekend and then give my impressions, to get a feel for my style. I dislike Hon, Loved DG - but the MP code stunk, never played Dota and I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove LoL.

The game modes do sound interesting, the voip is a shame but generally voip only works well with people you mix with anyway aka GWJ and other forum people I game with

OK the NDA allows for chat about the game, only area where the NDA kicks in is no talk about what is discussed in the beta forums.

I managed to get 2 games in last night, both I got owned bad and as they were my first games I still am understanding the mechanics but basically it's really not HoN/LoL or Dota. No creeps, no levelling, no items, no mana. Just 5 champions v 5 Champions each with abilities and the only aspect stopping him from using his ability is the cooldown on it.

The key layout is wasd for movement, mouse to where your champion is looking and then qer abilities + space (not sure if that is different) for tank char that is a rush. Left mouse click initiates one attack, right click another attack. At this point the game play is quite confusing and I definitely need to play more. View is further back than hon or lol though you can zoom in as well. Middle mouse button frees and locks the camera - at this point an unlocked camera is confusing.

The games I played were the basic 5v5 (they have a number of other game modes like capture the flag etc). Each game the winner was whoever won 5 rounds first and a round lasted a few minutes - I suspect as you get better these will go on longer but it's not going to be HoN or LoL style times. Characters you can choose are mele, tank, ranged and healer. I went for a ranged first died quickly so went for a tank to soak up the damage so I could at least stay alive longer and at least in my final round of the 2 games I started to click. I certainly need to play a lot more to get a feel for this but I like it. Do I like it more than LoL - at this point no - but I may change that as I play more

I like the art style.

Just signed up.

Got two invitations. I don't play it, not enough time to become decent at this one too (and from my short experience, the players are worse than HoN noob-bashers).

it is a very different game. I only started playing it when I was able to group with someone in vent and practice one on one. Once you get the hang of the controls and the gameplay it is a lot of fun. I should be on vent playing this weekend.

I don't mind the bashing. I just get kicked as soon as possible, even from non-ranked games. Either that or my whole team leaves.

Hey there,

I'll be honest with you here: i came to your website via Google.
I am waiting weeks for a beta key on Bloodline Champions and i still haven't gotten one.

So hereby i kindly ask: Does any of you have a spare beta key to share with me?

Thank you for reading,

They've singed a deal with Funcom which they said will also enable them to get more servers = more players = more often playing/testing sessions.
Just be patient and play LoL, HoN while you wait.

I'm sure it is

Yep, Deadlift315 and I have been playing regularily. Tonight was a bit more laggy then usual but last weekend was a blast.

Still no code here either...

Played a few matches with kazar and Deadlift315. At first we had a hard time getting people to join. But once kazar took us out of the private lobby, and made us a team, we had more success. Success at finding opponents anyway. We got whooped, and it probably wasn't my fault either.

I'm going to read up on the characters and tactics so I can actually contribute the next time I play. And hopefully we can get some Conquest played. That is one of the modes, right? Control points at this time appeal to me much more than being a punching bag for vets.

even after downloading the patches i cant get the game to load. My attempt to beta test this may be short lived.
