Beta3…well I actually managed to get onto this one, with Cryptic authorisation disabled, and US proxy enabled (thanks forums – no thanks Cryptic)… and its not bad.

Played a Cleric, seemed (at low level) too powerful, able to take on 5+ mobs solo easily. Combat as implemented was interesting, dodge effects actually require a little thought and reaction. Quite liked it, although level grinding is old now. there has to be a better way than tedium grind till endgame balance.

So I tried to participate in the Weekend BETA, just gone by. Complete Failure. Was never able to login past the authentication screens. This was an advertised (email bombs + promotions + paid BETA test) designated weekend.

Not giving up on this yet, Beta is Beta. Although authentication is and should be lightweight, and just working. Hope under there somewhere is a stable game engine, but after a wasted weekend – I certainly have not seen it.

I played this, and got a cool glass mug too, at E3 last year. I actually quite enjoyed it. Even though the stats were set a little high at E3 so as not to kill the player right off the bat I actually thought the game had a real good feel.

YUCK. Another MOBA masquerading as an MMO. Pass.
