FFFUUUUUU--

Let us know what it's like, shyerra? :p

[shyerra hall]

sent to firetruck.

[Meltzeiferion]

Did he send his PM long before he made that thread post? :\


Oh well, hopes I can get a key somehow or another~

Been following this game for ages, the dev team seem much like Anet in their love of their game so that makes them amazing in my books. i'll wait till i actually play the game but i have a feeling this will be up alongside GW2 as my games of choice when they come out :)

[Eragon Zarroc]

oh wow, you managed to get one of the 500 beta invites?!  gratz! :D

[shyerra hall]

btw firetruck, i should have asked you your pc specs. they're limiting the initial test phase to high end systems, you'll have to submit a dxdiag of your pc when you sign up.

[cdkcp]

Awww... too late. Anyway, should anyone have a spare key, please do share.

[Yoh]

Going to get this for sure for 2 reasons.

It looks like it will be a TON of fun. I can see myself playing this for hours with friends like TF2.

Also its free!

[Firetruck]

Oh, crap, my computer's kinda old. Thanks though. Hopefully I get an invite to give away: If I get multiple, I'll put one up here.

Yeah, I love how actively involved their development team is in the community. I played another game I won't mention *cough*DragonNest*cough* and the forums were a constant battle between players and devs. Not the way it should be. All in all been excited for Firefall (although nowhere near as long as I have been for Guild Wars 2) and hoping I can get in beta soon enough!

[Firetruck]

Has the first wave started? I doubt I got in this time.

Shyerra's probably too busy playing to respond :P

they had some trouble moving the client form their internal server to the one we'll be testing on. probably looking at up to a week delay.

anyway, you should be approved by now.

dont you feel when you do that, ur expectations are so high that when you actually get and play the game u feel it a bit of a letdown in some way shape or form?

[iLag]

Someone give me a beta code so I can troll everyone? please?

No, not really, i'm not really the type of person that gets super hyped up over something. i'm not expecting it to be the best game ever made which is where i see a lot of people get their feeling of disappointment from, i just expect it to be a good game judging from what i've seen of the game through video's and the few chats i've had with the devs about their vision of the game. but like i said, i'll wait till i actually play the game.

i guess it also helps that i'm also a indie game maker (if you can call it that even :p) i can see through the illusions devs try to make when they talk about games.

[Firetruck]

Aaaand I'm in :D

The beta schedule isn't up, yet, sadly...

[shyerra hall]

starting right now :D

[Lord Bazaah]

Lucky Bas****s, be sure to post what it was like after the NDA is lifted. :p

[Firetruck]

I had work during the first wave T_T

I haven't looked into this one much but, since I hadn't seen it mentioned, apparently the game's story was written by Orson Scott Card. Hopefully it's actually involved in the game, and not just a backdrop. I always hate to see that in games. They spend time making a cool world and background, and then do nothing with it. Fantasy Earth Zero was the biggest offender imo, and so far Eden Eternal seems to touch on it. I'm about halfway into the non-expansion content, and haven't seen hide no hair of a real storyarc since the second area (besides the area stories which are ok, but nothing to write home about). Which is a shame, as the tutorial was pretty immersive imo.

I'm not huge on shooters (not counting side-scrolling ones which I love), but I'll definitely give it a shot, and really hope that it uses it's potential in full; a really immersive story-driven mmo with such a high profile writer could really make some waves imo.

edit: And just a note for anyone that might take the above as a recommendation against Eden Eternal. It's not. It's an amazing MMO imo and it's cash shop has gotten more of my money then basically every other online game I've played combined. It just hasn't used it's story potential as far as I've seen. It's definitely a top-tier game imo, it just could be so much more.

I played the beta for eden eternal. I recommend if for those who don't want to download a 20GB+ MMO. It's only about 1~2GB, comp specs are moderately low. The cooldowns are pretty fast and not all skill recharge like WoW. There's a weekend event coming up so be sure to attend Eden Eternal's Double-Drop Weekend Event on September 24th and 25th from 12pm-3pm PDT each day!!!
