We are in the beta. The official release is Halloween. Runs on my 6 years old machine with 512 ram smile

See you in game?

It does? I was shuddering as I pondered just how I was going to justify the new computer I would need to play .... rolleye

Maybe I can run it on this old machine. smile I would dearly like to see you in game...

You can do a quick check how your system measures up HERE. Although my old box failed the Ram req, it runs. Best way to check of course is getting in the pre-order beta. I will check my local EB if they have any pre-oder boxes left in case you can`t get one soon.

Thanks for the link.

According to the test, I have two problems:

Display Card: DirectX 9.0c/10 compatible device w/ 128MB RAM or better and Pixel Shader 2.0 support; requires NVID
Comparing your display card NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 with the requirement NVIDIA GeForce 6200

• Your display card is significantly less powerful in raw performance

Memory: 1024MB You have 768MB
• You do not have enough memory

But if you can run the game with 512 MB...


Then I can pay a visit to EB games. nod

You are not forced to use FPS mode. There is still an aiming reticule in 3rd person view. However, ANY class who wields a gun (and that's all of them, if they so choose) gets to use FPS mode, but ONLY while wielding a gun. For Hunters (Marskman, Engineer), all they use is guns. For Templar (Blademaster, Guardian), it varies. For Cabalists (Evoker, Summoner), I'm not sure, but presumably their Focus weapons work like guns. They do have actual guns, though, so at the very least it could vary, but probably is always available.

I prefer FPS mode. I despise melee combat in this game (I'm going to give it a shot come retail, but for now I do not like it), and 3rd person shooting just doesn't appeal to me as much as 3rd person, at least thus far.

Thanks for the link...my old box manages everything but the ram. Like Shadow I have 768 ....this I can fix if needed. Was trying to figure out how to talk myself into a new computer....an argument for another day rolleye

My local EB has about 10 pre-order boxes left. If you guys want a key fast, give me a shout.

You guys should be fine with the ram, and last generation top or second of the line vcards are cheap wink

Try logging in at the website. If you can, you can download the client. My e-mail never actually came, but I've been in the beta for over 2 weeks now (although only able to play for one week, cursed corrupted downloads!).

Same. OLDBATTLEAXE will be in-game when the PTB open the gate. smoke And, no, despite some very motivated digging on that website, I found no place to download the game either.
