Your ToA raids at the start till took too long though ;)

Every day I think about it, the more and more I want to order the game. But I'm still unsure. PvP/AvA video above certainly made me want to do more so though (And probably roll a medic..)

Did anyone play a healing specced Templar to a decent level? How well does healing work with with the action style of the game?

Probably the point where you have enough abilities to get a good feel for the class. I didn't get much chance to play so want to know how the healing mechanics work with reticule, nothing I've read so far seems to cover it.

I've pre purchased anyway, might aswell try it as there are no other games around that interest me right now.

reticule doesnt seem to come into it much, see my earlier post, you can look at the floor and hit your heal and it will smart-ai-target people in need in your group, in range

its somewhat hit and miss sometimes. it may be meant to prioritise person you are targetting but it didnt seem to, could of been buggy tho /shrug

It's not really any different from all the crutches that are put into all MMOs to service terrible players - at the end of the day it's a casual genre really. Though I do agree if they're going to have a user-targeted ability system it should punish you for... well... missing. With heals it could be percentage based even so the worst players aren't completely useless while the best players are rewarded for their 'accuracy'. Still, with the amount of players on a server etc I'm not sure how that should/would work.

Dem Russians. :(

Looking more and more like I'll play this game (against my own better judgement) due to some old friends coming out of the wood work and asking me to play. How long will it take me to level to 10 to be able to try some PVP this weekend?

theyve changed the noob experience.. it was
spawn in dungeon.. move here, stab this, blah... go to newb island.. finish go to main world
now you can go dungeon -> world

if you want to grind it, i would reckon a few hours. get a group and run around prob quicker, most of it is group credit etc.

/edit
2 things:
patch notes: made levelling low down quicker, higher up slower, not sure by how much
and grinding mobs didnt seem to be much cop xp-wise, soloing on a healer might have skewed that - but you get a lot more for mission hand-ins than you do for stabbage - this also extends to dungeons, you get the "do the dungeon" quest ONCE. then after its just kill xp, there is no repeatable i could find ;- i got the 1k mobs in dungeons kills, must of done the first dungeon a good few times, and getting 5-10% of a lvl per run isnt much to go on

Same as us then :) EP that is.

We'll probably form a mini guild for our own storage etc, but if you guys wouldn't mind a few extras let us know :) Myself, 4 Ukranians ;P Almost russians :)

I cancelled my pre-order, will wait to see how it looks on release. I had intended to play it on the Xbox One but will look at the reviews for the PC version as well.

I'd probably do Us servers just cause they will speak english in region and not spam it in Russian, French, German etc

Just been reading the forums, Do NOT download the EU version, they are only testing the US server again. Make sure you have US region selected...

  1. Click the settings wheel (next to minimize near the top right of the launcher.)
  2. Make sure that 'Region' is 'United States' and not 'Europe'
Now you can update and enjoy the beta weekend.

well spotted

i would add to this, i run it once or twice a week to check for mega patches to get ahead of the DL queue, and mine, being a US install... ran it, "oh you must DL 24gig".. er ? .. it had auto set itself to EU for no apparent reason, so even if you already have it, i would advise checking afore the zerg hits the patchers

1 per level
1 per dungeon (x3)
1/3 X number of Soul Shards you find
1 from each quest that gives you one.. think i got about 5 ?
