I can't name many RPG's since Morrowind so... They're mostly adventure games (including Zelda final fantasy etc etc)
The problem for me is I live in Oz.
Twitch based gameplay is severely limiting when it isn't hosted properly. Even P2P sucks. 200ms can be optimistic.
You must live outside of town then, cuz I heard the Emerald City just got fiber.
Only played a few matches of the newest tech test. Not sure if it continues through today or not. Plus only played against AI so outside of the three other people I played with I didn't notice any issues with matchmaking or lag. Game seems like it could be fun but for how long? And there is way too much damn s*** happening on screen.
I had no interest in this game until Dark Souls 3 made me addicted to heavier combat. Really like the way the combat looks in this game. Hope the AI in single player is decent. My biggest complaint is all the HUD stuff on screen looks messy. I don't like the big circle underneath the guy your fighting. Kills the immersion. Hope they give some options.
Crazy that it still doesn't look as good as RYSE :O ... visually... Still think the game needs 60fps...
The AI is very challenging. In the beta it was easier to play against human players. I 100% agree on the HUD. It was overloaded with highlights and there was no option for minimising in the beta. The only thing I didn't mind was the circle around the player. You use that to see your stance. I really hope they do give an option to reduce the screen clutter in the retail. When I filled out the survey after the beta I made a point of complaining about the HUD.
The combat is as good as dark souls. It's just has unforgiving.
So you can play it by yourself but it's an online only game. There is a story arc in it to complete but none of that was in the beta. The beta had co op and PvP single matches.

It does. I have have been avoiding footage from the Single player, though. So I have no clue how it is looking.
You don't have to play it by yourself, the story is 2 player co-op.
Yea the HUD stuff was my main criticism for the alpha and I put that in the survey they sent out. Hopefully it can get changed because it is very annoying. Hopefully we get info on the beta soon.
I put that in the survey too, but doesn't look like it has changed based on a few more recent streams. I never looked in the options for HUD stuff, but lets hope they give us the option to turn off everything individually.
Do we need to sign up again and should access carry over from the Alpha? I'm thinking it should carry over.
I signed up with multiple emails ages a go.
However, somebody on twitter said those who played in the alpha will get in the beta, and that came from Ubisoft, apparently.
I would sign up again just to make sure.
Those three classes all look great. I like the idea of a spear and shield weapon with the Valkyrie and the naganata looks cool too. I think the lawbringer is going to be my guy though. He reminds me of the berserker with some armour added in.

Yeah they all look great, but that Nobushi looks like the guy for me. But won't really know till we get to try them.
So I just fired up the alpha client on the off chance that they might update it to beta, and low and behold there is a huge 26GB update for it.
So, all you who were in the alpha and want the beta might want to fire up your alpha client and get downloading.

Anyone look at rewards program for this game? They have drinking horns for each faction lol. 25k points.. I have 2k from doing various "missions". Unless they've offered up points for doing other stuff I don't see how you could possibly hit 25k just from what is listed on their site.
It does upgrade to the beta. The main title screen states beta and the dashboard also states beta when the alpha is selected.
Just 2 more days to go, can't wait. Been itching to play this again since the alpha finished.
