I was invited to the beta. Honestly, I have zero clue what this game is about!

Which Shard did y'all roll on?

I rolled on the PVE-RP server... can't remember the name.
I'm pretty damn impressed with my first hour or so of playing. The game is gorgeous and I really like the story.

I think Faeblight is the PVe-RP server. Although there may be more than one.

This games style reminds me of Warhammer. The fonts they use for names is identical. Very smooth for closed beta. The only way I'm going to buy this game is if the pvp adds something original. If you are a pve player this game seems awesome.

Yea, I'm on Faeblight as well just to try out the PvE. I am going to roll on a PvP server to see what that means exactly. I really like the game so far, and the fact that they only make you wait a few levels before letting you choose the secondary "soul" for your class is awesome.
I think that as it stands this game will likely hold my attention over until SWTOR/GW2, but I agree that the PvP should be put in there. I hope there are some good Guardians vs Defiants battlegrounds or something.
So far I have gotten each respective base class (Warrior, Cleric, Mage, Rogue) to level 6 and chosen my second. The choices available are insane! Who's got what?

I'm playing a Reaver/Void Knight on Faeblight by the name of Zoe. I've done all of the 4 main starters so far too, loving Cleric and Warrior. The soul combinations seem like a great idea. Should be interesting to see how they handle balance.

Tried that Reaver/Void Knight combo...very nice indeed! So, I just got to my first PQ very similar to WAR. Only difference I noticed was that loot bags were distributed to everyone that participates, and the actual changes of the world around you during the whole thing is awesome!
Interesting that if you repeatedly do those PQ's you retain your influence, so you can "farm" them for gear. Granted at low level that means little...but if higher levels can do that then it would be an issue.

I don't see why it would, if everyone participates and everyone gets loot, and if I remember correctly they said that the PQs increase in difficulty with the more people around it. To me it seems like a great way to even out the playing field, gear is not such an issue. WAR failed on that accord with the time required to put in, so there was still quite a bit of disparity. Too much like WoW(which has been discussed many times, no need to continue).

Here is a video for those who are confused about how the Soul Tree customization works, and if you can acquire multiple souls to switch out. It also showcases the dynamic world events, and how each plane is fighting for power over Telara. He talks briefly about how the open world and dungeons/instances scale/expand dynamically to your level. In other words, the higher level you are, the more of any given instance is open to you. This gives you incentive to explore the entire world at all levels. Seems like a cool idea to me.
(EDIT: Added developer videos 1 & 2)

The next event is coming up quick! Are we going to all roll on Faeblight again? I'm down for some co-op action this coming weekend if anyone is interested. Also....as it turns out in a recent podcast the developers did state as the events continue your characters will be preserved. (Only to be wiped right before any early launch events and such) EDIT: The pre-loading patcher is officially up! Would be a good idea to go ahead and download the files now, that way you can just jump in when it starts! Can't wait to try my new ideas for mixing up the classes!

Yeah Faeblight sounds good. I probably won't play this one as much as the first, but I'll still be checking it out.
