After you said about it today i applied ;)

Looks like you say very pretty... a sort of cross between WoW and Tera with the giant Mobs and cuteness of Tera and the scenery of WoW...

No Tanks in it though... lol

How quick did you hear back from them about being allowed to beta test this? I applied on the 27th (as per post) but not heard anything back yet.

Mind you I think i said i was in America as i hadnt changed the clicky in the top right of their web page lol

Maybe re-apply under another email address depending how fast you guys heard back from them ;)

Cant remember i got in a few months ago...

If you played v1.0 you are auto accepted at this stage in the beta

Not heard anything back from them so might re-apply with a different email address and on the English forum rather than the US one... also got a new Graphics card which is more inline with their requirements :)

There is another round of betatest coming up - keep an eye on your junk filters.
It's till phase3/closed i think. Could be wrong though.
All in all i'm impressed with what i've seen of the game so far.

I am really, really, really digging this game.
Got all classes up to 16-17 ish now.
Loving the gameplay. World, setting etc etc etc.

Races and Classes

Chick,

Realised i had a beta invite for this in my spam filter on the last day of what i guess was Phase 3 beta.

So the question is, i'm guessing, like FFXI, any one can be any class.

How much impact does the starting race pick have on you as you level, ie do the bonuses accrue as you level or does your gear and level overcome that within a very short space of time.

Also, does this have secondary classes, for instance in FFXI you could be a level 20 Dragoon level 10 fighter and you would get bonuses from both, or is it just level 20 Lancer?

Hey Cad :)

No-one is 100% sure if Phase3 is over yet. Definitely register the key anyway as you will automagically be allowed into Pahse4, though their email system is pretty screwey.

Not that sure about starting class. I jumped around between DPS, heals, tank & melee and seemed to be fine at any of them with my Kat-chap. I'm sure if you are ultra-min-maxing you will want class Y to level Y with starting dude Z but bonuses form gear and classes stack up pretty quick. My Gut feelIng is "mostly cosmetic"

The secondary classes are in. Well. they will be. Not in the current beta phase but they will be there. Dragoon, Paladin, Warrior, Black/White Mage, Monk, Bard and a few others 'semi-confirmed'. I have a feeling they are still nailing them down.

Hmmm, looks like its time to be a cat then, i was looking at highlander or sea wolf as i was looking at gladiator but never liked big races and its cool to be a cat:)

about 85% of beta testers are blue haired cat-girls fyi. Your cat-man will be overcome with arousal almost instantly.

Im not worried about the people playing blue haired girl cats.

First rule of the internet, male until proved otherwise.

However its the people playing lalafells that im worried about if the original FFXIV is any comparison.

Tried the beta a few months ago, got to level 15 or one of their advances systems they had in place to jump you up levels.
mucked around one weekend and uninstalled it, very pretty game but thats about it. Too much 1960s batman pow wow for me.

Roll on Black Desert.
