Guess i might give it another try this weekend. Played for about 10mins at the last one and just thought it looked very generic and dull.

Im also in the Beta Looking forward to 3pm now 
I pre-purchased mine through steam and was expecting to get an authentication code via email, only to find out you dont need an authentication code... that's only for an external authenticator device, just put in username and password then click on "login"

pretty much...played since alpha..its a bit meh
I couldn't make up my mind during the last beta. Had a lot of promise, but was frustratingly limited in some aspects. Graphically it's fine, certainly no worse than many other mmos out there.
It's the complexity I'm not sold on, it might be a bit shallow to keep me interested for long.

Yeah, I honestly believe now the NDA is lifted it's going to get trampled on.
I did however say earlier, or elsewhere that if you haven't played an MMO before it would be pretty big for you, but for any gamers that's played them over the last decade at least it's nothing new at all, in any respect.
Considering how close they're to launch now, if they haven't fixed the UI for PC use then they're doing something wrong at the most basic level, let alone the rest of the game.

The UI was my big gripe. It was fine for general playing, but as soon as you tried to do anything even slightly complicated like crafting (or trying to quit the game!) it was a pain. Didn't like that you didn't have gear as such either, just pre-defined outfits.
The range of weapons was amazing though, and the mods for them could keep things interesting. Liked the world and the acting too, and the fact that you could aim for specific body areas for more damage on bigger mobs.
I think a lot will depend on the F2P model. It's an enjoyable enough game, but if they gate it too much, your average PC mmo player won't want to know.

Been playing the beta for a few hours this evening, and got to admit... I am really really enjoying it! Will probably pick it up around launch! (If I can find a good priced DL version, don't trust any retailer to get a disced copy out by this weekend)

I enjoyed the beta and have it pre ordered. My concern is if this is their most current version a week before launch it is pretty poor in some parts like enemies not reacting to your presence when you would expect them too and im not a big fan of the driving mechanics

It is an old build though AFAIK? There alpha servers have the current build. That is how I read it anyway!
Despite really bashing on this game, I've been having fun but purely because I'm playing with friends and having a laugh, it won't last for me though.
Server architecure splits zones up invisibly, driving behind friends they'll vanish until we sync up again, even trying to get onto the same instance and area sometimes takes a few attempts; Phase to friend > Go to friend > rinse repeat.
But the whole method of questing with friends is a decade old; 2 friends of mine all met up and spent a while figuring out who was the lowest on the quest chain, you can' see who's on what, what stage, where, how much left to do, you simply tag along and kill what they're killing.
One of the worst social systems in an "MMO?" in a long, long time, the world feels dead, empty; the first day/hours of the betas are full but the next day it's a barren landscape, this isn't healthy at this stage :/
I'm also net sure of the elder game, if it even has any, worried that it'll just end up the same repetitous gameplay from the start, the "rift" like events are straight out of their previous title almost but in a more basic, fixed location manner.

Anybody who is pre ordering, will we be making a OCUK guild?
