So, this thread is dedicated to the actual beta that we're all in, since the "age of conan beta" thread is big and off topic.
I just made "Stulock" the Dark Templar.
Character creation was pretty simple, quite varied choices.
I loaded in, first impressions are good - it's very polished, but don't MMO's have to be in this post-WoW world? And seemed to have full voice acted speech for the NPC's.
I whacked the graphics all to full and DX10, ran silky smooth. Graphics in general seemed quite decent.
Short cut scene, then found a lady tied up - gave me a quest.
Ran down to the beach, swam across a short bit of water to reach the guy i had to kill. Start swinging my weapon in this real time crap, trying to kill the guy.

Not bothering with beta, I'm fed up of doing them and it tainting the game for me. So for those that are in it, please just give constructive critism and the Pros and Cons in this thread.

Server name, erm, can't remember - it was number 2.
"SERVERNAMEWHATEVER" then 02 on the end...

I'm the same rik, i don't like to delve too much into beta's and ruin it for me - in fact, i chose not to go into the Burning Crusade beta for that exact reason (same with Wrath of the Lich King - don't wanna spoil the awesomeness!). I'll play out a few levels, try the pvp, just to guage weather it's looking any good, then stop.

Good that will do then I might change my habit of a lifetime and not do a ranger, but it depends on how you sell it to me

Does anyone here have beta access that they are not using?

Herald of Xotli or a Tempest of Set are the ones I am thinking of making.

Barb/Necro or Ranger, but would like to see some feedback on each character before I choose between these three. I do fancy a bit of a change though so may do the necro.

My comment on the beta so far: "Doesn't live up to the hype" I love being right. It makes me feel warm inside. I'd point you all back to the posts i made commenting on this, but that seems too much. I'll just sit here satisfied However: it is a beta. And things do change for the better, sometimes, from beta to release. Remember; i really didn't like WoW in beta!

Nothing ever lives up to the hype. I am going to give it a go when it comes out and the same with WAR.

He's an Everton fan ;D Bloody hell Stu bringing football into the topic of conversation, hell must have just frozen over. Good comment though a little out of date as Everton are actually quite a good team now under Moyles.
