*Release* Rift Catch-All - if it isnt for any of the other threads - it goes here

guardian side is a lot more sparsely populated on the servers I've played. (All of them) ...

That said, I've got leveling from 1 to ?? down to a science on the defiant side.

Well, with the new racials, I see defiant having a slightly easier time getting a healer back in to recover from a wipe in an instance or raid, due to the 30 second non agro ability "Camoflague" that Kelari get.

Double post, phone

I have read that those will change again although it might just be the attribute bonuses that do

The run ability that the Eth got was really nice when you didn't have a mount...

I've played guardian and I just can't deal with the namby-pampy elf and dwarf crap. It's way too typical fantasy for me. I like the techno style of the defiants.

Robot horse, ftw.

That's only from 7-19ish

The elves are in a civil war that you get in the middle of, which is pretty cool; however, the guardian side's next two zones are simply fantastic:

20-30 Gloomwood: This is a transylvania zone of humans that has a problem. THere's a conspiracy here that you get to uncover and what's awesome is what happens to your character midway through the quest that is pretty unique in MMOs I've ever, ever played.

30-40 Copper Canyon: Think Wild West. Seriously. And the awesomest part is that somehow it works really well.

Copper Canyon ?

Scarlet Gorge perhaps?

My favorite part of Scarlet Gorge - I can finally tell y'all about - is the "Old West" town of "Rock Ridge" inside Scarlet Gorge.

No, I think they meant Rouge Ravine. Yep.

So I preordered...

Anybody know how I can keep the current beta installation and tell Steam to use it, instead of d/ling its own X Gb of data?

Steam only downloads the patcher, which should only take a few minutes. After that I imagine you could just replace it with the beta files in the steam directory.

Yeah, my bad. It just reminded me of Copper Canyon with its layout. I love how the game delivers more than just the high fantasy cliches and rolls it right into western. Brilliant.

I love another part about it, but I won't tell anyone until I can get my names reserved at release.

My toon is level 32, so there were a few parts I got around to.. I had a few favorites there too.. now if I could only go back and get uncursed by a certain woman...

You'll all know one day when I post a screens of my character in Rock Ridge.

You rolling with Mungo, huh?

I got some friends to agree to check out the beta, and knowing them we might be getting two new players Its fun pulling people away from wow.

After playing some more this weekend, and getting my spider hat I think I might switch to Cleric as my main.

That, my good sir, is a might fine hat indeed.

However, my question is. How are you wearing said hat, and playing said game this weekend when Beta 7 starts only on the 15th Feb and headstart on the 24th Feb? hmmmmm?

Actually pics of the hat and the fire-effect on the weapons have already been made public. But yes, could be playing the even more closed beta.

Sorry, edited to make sure I was NDA safe!

Did not think of that, Thanks. Took down the pic and the post just to be safe.

Givent that the game is released next week afte a 6 day Open Beta the whole Alpha NDA thing is probably a bit stale. Nice mask BTW, I have been impressed with how tight lipped the Alpha folks have been, but at this point I think that horse has been beat to death.

I am suprised with less than 2 weeks until the pre-order headstart that the NDA hasn't been lifted all together.

muhahaha feel the power!

It was posted on Twitter today that the head start on Thursday the 24th will begin at 10am PST.

Headstart *will* begin at 10:00 AM PST (6:00 PM GMT) on Feb 24th! ^Zann

I have that and the next two days off from work, and want to start playing as soon as the servers open.

I am wondering if we have a plan in place for choosing a server or if we should start discussing it. I remember in the DCUO thread we had something like "the PvE server starting with the earliest letter alphabetically"

I'm cool with that. Sounds like a plan.
