I meant that playing 10+ hours a day is hardcore...and thats for the weekend. I have played online games since they first started on BBSs and then on school severs as muds. Hardcore for mudding was averaging more then 10 hours a DAY for 2 weeks....and that wouldn't even get you on the top of the nolife list (a list of…

I played from 1-36 but finished all the content (got stuck in ebon and couldn't find the way back lol...no more paths at that point). I played as a halfling rogue and just ran through the content. I did all the side quests, but I still was always way under leveled compared to the areas I was fighting. At one point I was…

Founders packs should come with zen, not Astral diamonds. For now, Astral diamonds have no real value at all other then purchasing items with them or speeding up how fast your companion levels in game. In order for Astral Diamonds to have any value, players in the game have to be willing to purchase them with their own zen…
-
I'd disregard the value of astral diamonds when factoring in the hero/guardian packs for now. The extra char slots, mounts/companions etc for each character are where the value is. For hero pack you get to cut in line etc as well. The main point of both the guardian and hero packs is to support the game though. Just buying…

There is a ton of in game video out there now if you want to see what it's like. I was in the last Beta weekend and it was a blast. Totally worth investing money in. $200 does seem like alot, but honestly a good game is almost priceless to me. I think you'll be very happy with your decision so don't feel sick about it:)

You broke the first rule!! Get him!!
-
We don't, and really can't, know yet as nothing has been finalized (even the costs for the nightmare etc might change and may be so high to prevent beta players from getting them). You can also try and sell your AD on the AH for zen...which can be used to purchase account upgrades. The ratio is unknown, as is the supply…
-
Actually in one of the videos I watched, they were talking about companions and one of the developers said there was plans to have class based animal companions etc as well, and they would be separate from the ones all characters could get. I took that to mean that say a ranger or druid could end up with 2 companions out…
-
I tested out companions/pets extensively in the last beta. I tried the wolf, the cleric and the mage over a large range of levels. I also did the same content without them. In most cases I found the pets made a very small difference over all, and were even a detriment in certain situations (dragging more enemies into the…
-
I saw a podcast that talked about it fairly extensively and they said that you could only buy zen with AD through the auction house. That at least was what I got out of the interview. The implication was that anyone could eventually buy anything they wanted by selling AD at the auction house for Zen. That is true to a…
-
Woot!! Yeah!! *jumps for joy!* I was trying to play it cool, but I was really kinda sad I wasn't going to be able to play a halfling at launch if that was the case. Really happy I can still do so. Devon, I don't know if I'll be playing a halfling GWF or not (I know my rogue is going to be a halfling and I do like diversity…
-
I still don't believe that Wizard won't be a starting class. I think they are just trying to "announce" it this weekend when they have us beta them. As some of you may know (since I havn't been that quiet about it), my starting cast of characters are going to be a rogue (was going to be a halfling), GWF (probably dwarf for…
-
Lol, I can understand that, but DM's have always had the ability to change the "laws" at will if they want. As a halfling lover (hmm that sounds wierd) I feel that if a halfling has a high enough strength value, he should be able to wield the same weapons as dwarves of humans. leverage etc does factor in to some degree,…
-
Suspension of reality isn't really that hard here, since there could be "greatswords" created for halflings as well. They might not be quite as big and heavy, but in a fantasy world they could easily do as much damage. In an action game they might not have the same range....but that isn't really worth programming and…
-
AD can be converted for zen, but only through other players...which means the total amount of purchased Zen is finite. SOMEONE is buying that zen. There is no such thing of "play the game and you can unlock everything)" because it's just plain out not true. Play the game constantly non stop, and if a majority of the other…
-
Yeah, I know the rules (in general) for halflings (not really up on 4th edition rules so much though), but I always thought there were a bit silly. I know the diff between a dwarf and halfling...and can see why dwarves may be able to wield larger weapons...but still a pumped up barbarian halfling that is all muscle...is…
-
I'm with you. I'm not going to go crazy and moan and complain, but I'm a fan of halflings myself and thought they were fine (although seemed like the best choice for all 3 classes to be honest to me). They might have been out of balance a bit because of that. The Dex/Con combo was probably the best for all melee types…
-
I'm naturally partial to playing a halfling anyway, but yes, in the Beta it was one of the best choices out there for a rogue at least, and probably for any fighter types as well. I believe (if I remember right) that you can have both Dex and Con as bonus stats as a Halfling. Dex is in many ways superior to STR (especially…

1: I'm fine with it being exclusive. I'm not fine with it changing after people have bought guardian packs (spent $60) based on being able to play drow at launch, then finding out they won't be able to. 2: Yes 3: I don't think guardians have to get access, but I do think if they were told they would get access before,…
-
Where is everyone getting this "no halfling/wizard stuff?" just from one post by someone? Last i heard the wizard was going to be available in the next beta AND for launch, and Halfling was already available in the last beta. Heck, my rogue is a halfling...and supposedly there will be no char wipes before beta ends. Is…
-
As bad as a delay would be right now (after all the advertisment etc that has been going on recently), a long beta would be worse. Yes, MMO's that release "early" often have big problems, but I was in the WoW beta and most of us thought the game was released very early and needed another 6 months. Same with City of Heroes…
-
If anyone is really upset about the drow, start a petition thread for Heroes to wave their right to be the only one to have the drow race available and get people to /sign or not sign. I don't really care about the drow race and would sign it just to make more people happy. I doubt there are many people who bought founders…
-
Those of us in the Beta have seen that the loading screens are VERY short, and rare (only when you move between districts or enter a building. I didn't slow down at all for loading screens. If you have played DDO ever, those loading screens can take forever. I don't think I saw a loading screen take more then 10 seconds…
-
He's saying just what I said basically, there is no information one way or another about if drow will be made available for guardian pack founders. The wording is too ambiguous to make a decision on. Personally, I think the drow is going to be exclusive to heroes for the first 2 months at least, then open for everyone else…
-
Pretty sure the "exclusive to founders pack" potions means only to founders packs that get access to drow as part of their bonuses. If you got access to a race before everyone else as a guardian, it would be listed as a perk. And yeah, I think making drow only for those that shell out $200 is a good idea, it's a bonus that…
-
Lol, yeah...he really had me going. Was all upset because the guardian looked better then the GWF...and it was my least favorite class in the beta. I too hope he'll be available in the next beta, but I read in a transcript somewhere that "three playable classes will be available in the beta". I hope that was just a…
-
Worth it? That is in the eye of the beholder (save vs death ray!!), but no matter what, the game itself is well made and many will find it worth the money they have invested even without any additional bonuses. I'm happy to have contributed to the game, and almost got my moneys worth in the first beta weekend (and I missed…
-
I need to re-read all of them again just so I can start liking Drizzt again myself. He doesn't become unlikable exactly, but things become more morose or less fresh I guess over the years/books. By the time Pikel and friends showed up I was already in real need of some lightheartedness big time in the series. The last 3…
-
No, finish the paths of darkness series. Servant of the shard is part of the paths of darkness series so you can't skip it (well you could, but it wouldn't make much sense). I didn't read the second and third book (really should just call it the first and second book) of the sellswords for a long time after reading the…
-
I still need to get/read the new Elminster books. I havn't read many 4th edition FR books (other then the Neverwinter series). I'll be reading the last book in that next, but will probably get the Elminster books afterwards. Speaking of which, I know the TC has alot on his plate, but tossing in the Elminster series as well…
