I got the game when it first released and got to lvl 60. Funnily enough that was back when I was a huge alcoholic so I hardly remember anything other than having a pretty good time. I’ll probably try it again (without booze this time).

At first, it was a “shits and giggles” download. Didnt think i was going to enjoy it the way i am. Its fun

I found myself thinking about this game and wishing I could jump in and play today. This is very rare for me to feel when playing games. It may be all the way back to Skyrim the last time I had that feeling. It feels almost brutal to have to wait until October to play this. It could also be this is the first game like this I am getting to play with my son. He is now old enough to jump in with me.

Have 700hrs in the game. The beta’s character movements are better. Might jump back in during launch but will check out throne and liberty first.

At some point yesterday this game hooked me in. Cant wait for release.

As a long time player... its nice to say, that we are FINALLY heading in the right direction. Excited for the future of one of my favorite MMOs of all time.

The opening is better, the combat is better, the story is better... it's just better. I have had a more fun experience with this beta than I have had in years. Changes are 10/10.

im really hoping that there is no auto lock in pvp

[mikefisc]

I'm going to give this a try. I need something to do over the upcoming fall and winter months where the days are short and the darkness seems to last forever. Thanks for your thoughts Renfail, they are appreciated.

I wonder how pvp is gonna be wirh target locking.
Also housing was a thing since day one

I played it on my gaming laptop since launch, but because of an older MSI model the game didn't play too well and still got to lvl 30, after I bought a new one this year I played until level 42 and since the news of console waiting for this because outside of WOW and NW i am a console player.

Many pc players where arguing about lag but the beta played really good on console for me.

The game is looking better and better! Good luck

[markjackman]

Great video! Im not sure if it says something about the state of current MMOs but im wierdly excited to give this another go, hopefully it can retain a larger % its player numbers this time around!

[NATEDAWGG]

Are we still going to have to pay for the expansion that released mounts, or will that be included? I bought the base game at launch but not the expansion.

[UnknownAdventurer]

I see the full game for pre-order but I don't see the beta in the PS store

[xRazorWirex]

How much of the game is soloable? Keen to check this out👍

Question.. so back when I played it on pc the game pretty much forced you to play dungeons with ppl to go through the story. Are you saying that’s no longer a thing? ( referring to you saying it’s single player ) I got to the last mission which was a dungeon pc but never beat it because nobody wanted to play it around the time I got to it.

[WHJBill]

Played to level 21. We now know why we haven't gotten any new content all year ... AGS has redone the tutorial and made many hundreds, if not over a thousand, cut scenes that people who have already played (and new players after the first 50 or so) will just SKIP. I plan on getting to 25 so I get my free loot on my main come October and then wait for new content, other than just 1 dungeon (I'm not sold on the new PvP area).

[No_Face]

Is there a way to play with consoles only?

[IggiePuff]

Can you play your PC character on Xbox/PS? Or, does each version have their own accounts?
