Nooblet -- Roik - Level 16 or so Dwarf Hunter

VinegarNinja -- Vinegarninja - Gnome Rogue, I think.

Yar. Some more PvP observations:

Hunter, doesn't quite cut it as a PvP class still. Sure they have a bow (or gun) and ranged attacks, but if you get snared by ANYTHING, you're basically dead (your opponent just runs up to you at that point and well... bye bye ranged attack). The melee attack the hunter has just doesn't deal enough damage to make any major difference. Their damage output just isn't high enough cap'n D:

I hear they're good at PvE though.

Sorry XSZ, I win the super-supreme dumbass award of all time.

I've been downloading the beta client the whole time, thinking the account creation pages would only be available after the download. Now that it's finished, the account creation pages are closed.

Does anyone have an extra account?

I think I'm out too. Installation seems to stop 1/3 of the way in while trying to install terrain.mpq. Well, it hasn't moved in four hours... so.

Guess im waiting until the 23rd.

I'm having the worst time downloading it. I can't download it at my house since the connection is so slow. At school, Fileplanet was being stupid (yesterday). Today the Blizzard downloader would only get up to 16.00KB. <_< I think it was because of some firewall hindering it. Tomorrow, I'm going to try Fileplanet one more time. One more....

Ah, sorry. I only say Beta Signups Open! (or whatever it said). I didn't read the fine print. Always read the fine print.

duherman · November 12, 2004, 07:59:28 AM

Since i didnt get a hold of a account for wow I need some straight on help from you all that have it. Can my Intel Celeron 2.0 Ghz 768mb of ram with ati radeon 9800 pro handle wow? would i still get a bit of eye candy? I do not want to buy this game then find out my computer cannot handle it...

Niteowl · November 12, 2004, 10:10:31 AM

i'm thinking we're gonna need to hand out more slots if we lose a large portion of our reserves to WOW?

I run the game smoothly at 1024x768 with Athlon 2.2Ghz, 512mb of ram with GeForce FX5200 (128 of ram) so yes, I think you'll be more than fine. :p

Forsaken · November 12, 2004, 12:51:51 PM

Currently on Test 9 and am loving the game so far. I've played a rogue, mage, and warlock to 10 and just got my hunter to 16. Impressions, the rogue and mage were more solid classes as the highest damage dealers. Although the hunter was more enjoyable for me as there was so much versatility having pets, melee, and range all in one package. I haven't really pvp'd much yet but I am looking forward to it.

Yeah you should be able to run it, but I would think the processor would slow you down, Intensity.

Here's my Gnome Rogue, Zeph, after I engineered myself a spiffy new pair of goggles.

Sometime last night, I had put a bid on a Mechanical Squirrel in the auction house because it was cheaper than most other Mechanical Squirrels up for bid, but somebody started outbidding me. I'd place my bid, the other person (they don't show names of who's bidding on what) would bid shortly after, and I worried that I wouldn't win the bid. Fortunately, the server started lagging to hell, and nobody could interact with any of the npcs, and I was the last one to place a bid. When I hopped on the server a bit later, I got my squirrel, and there it is standing with another one.
