Where did you get the trial? Subscriptions aren't my thing but I'd definitely give the free trial a go Can you point me in the right direction?

Its not a trial, you'd have to follow through the last few pages of the thread to see how I am demoing it.

 

[clippa]

Yeah, sorry for not hanging on your every word
I'm assuming they don't open up trials until all of the MMO hardcore have blindly given over their bank account details
I don't know why but I'm getting an itch to try anMMO and christ knows how long it will take for guild wars 2 to arrive.
Might give forsaken worlds a try.

Yeah usually trials dont turn up until 6months+ into release, once subscriptions have plateaued or dropped. I'm guessing that Guild Wars 2 is still quite a long way off yet.

I'll always stay away from PWI games, they're pay to win. The last PWI game they had I PKed over 300 people and didn't die once, then I came across a guy who had spent about £10k with a super pet that 2 shot me.

you donut. there was LOTS of beta's you could have joined. the last one was an open beta for a week. your loss

Upto level 7 now and I'm loving it, it's made an immediate impression on me.

I'll write a bit more of what I think of it after playing it for a longer period.

Excellent start, like I've said, and sooo many positives

 

[Tombstone]

Made it to 10, did a warfront, we lost, probably because I was the only bugger healing

I did 15,700 points of healing and the 2nd highest in my team had done 552 pts. lol

However, it was quite fun.

But the thing I really liked this evening was an invasion (at least I think thats what it was), I was trundling along in the game world, when all of a sudden the sky turned red and everything else turned red, a big voice boomed out and there were creatures all over the place and some boss guys , players scattering about all over trying to fight them off. Kind of reminded me of the town invasions that you sometimes got in UO. Really enjoyed that.

I've seen enough now to believe that I can quite easily get 3 months (at least) of fun out of this, so I am happy to go ahead and buy the game, enjoy my 3 months and reassess at that point whether to continue, depending on how static Trion have been regarding further development at that stage.

BIG kudos to Chk4 for the opportunity, hope I can return that favour sometime (maybe in guildwars 2 or swtor or whatever is next along the road)

Been out of action for the last 7 months or so. Bought myself an xbox. Christ knows what I was thinking

Anyone else getting lock-ups and resets? I've had a couple of resets and those really annoying lock-ups where I get really high volume white noise. It's happened twice in winning WFs, which has caused a deluge of foul language from me at the top of my voice as we hardly ever win WFs.

 

[Tripnologist]

Nope, not had a single problem myself.

 

[Skunkworks]

Just got another lock-up. Always in The Codex, and ALWAYS when we're winning. Damn Guardian hax.

 

[Frapple]

Had two CTD in Scarlet Gorge when clicking on a certain vendor when using eyefinity.

Other that that, stable as a rock.

 

[No1newts]

Reading that review made me want to cap out and try the level 50 warfront. Sounds really interesting

away now for ages so doubt I will be getting much higher any quicker

I could do with a quality healer on my team if you fancy it? If I remember rightly, you prefer PvP servers ?

 

[Tombstone]

Yup, I always play on PvP servers. Just like the extra dynamic it brings, though I hope they will build upon the open world PvP side of things. Its debatable whether I am a quality healer though

Lol ditto, look at the score and often there are people who have done 80k-100k of healing where as I have done 30-40k although as someone said earlier that could be due to level differences and how many abilities have been unlocked.

p.s. should just add have started dying my armour, its so awesome!

You should roll on the Silvermere server and join Covenant (ocuk guild, seperate thread on forum!)

Yeah, as I say, I was only level 10, so I was the lowest level there. Maybe I was the only cleric on my team or something, I didnt really notice to be honest, was focusing on health bars

 

[Taziir]

Its Shivermere Anyhow, come join us, you won't regret it!

You'll find that most players who end up with the highest healing scores are Bards. They have a constant AoE heal that affects the whole raid - doesn't require mana ( as bards don't use that mechanic ), or for them to remain static. That constant healing fairly adds up over time. Even dedicated Cleric healers can't match it - but, Clerics are good for burst healing, when you need sudden massive healing for someone who is about to go down quickly. Bard healing on the other hand just keeps everyone topped up on health - it doesn't have the power to stop someone from dying when focus fired on.
