Hellgate London
ackblom12:
The only real bitch I have about the game is that they absolutely refuse to put in a method of respeccing. It's the one thing keeping me from ever playing around and experimenting in games like Diablo 2. I refuse to put that much time into a character only to find out that the skill I was working towards is complete shit, or worse, having it nerfed to hell in a patch.
I still love the shit out of this game.

I just caved in and pre-ordered the game, but I doubt I'll be playing for long- probably just to tide me over until Warhammer Online comes out :P (don't hit meee!).
I don't know how I feel about the instancing just yet, but Hellgate is most definetely not your traditional MMO- it's apparently rare to be in a party, and even then, there are graphical glitches which keep you from viewing your partners (HARHAR). <--- this might have been fixed by the time of this post.
On the other hand, I LOVE the Hellgate London cinematic trailers (glorified the Templars). I watched a few of them last night on Stage6 and was hella impressed- if they can expand the storyline to a comic, they can do a full-length film.
PS: The way people are frantically scrambling to get all the pre-order dye kits is HILARIOUS.
PPS: Anyone know if there will be a wipe on beta before the day of release? Also, post all your in-game names if you're ever interested in getting together.

I'm happy as hell about the intancing myself, nothing sucks like grouping for a quest only to have to wait for a respawn and then have the kill stolen by another asshat in the area.
A lot of the glitches in the Beta have been fixed in the Test servers, and I'm sure the retail will have a ton more fixes since their 3 or 4 weeks behind the actual retail release.

Well, the retail release in on Halloween, and will have what they're referring to as "Patch 0." The official beta test ended Friday (full wipe of everything), but I think the European one is going on until tonight or tomorrow still. However, they're opening the servers up for anyone in the beta sometime next week just before (or at) release, so folks waiting on their shipped copy can get playing. Characters made then will transfer, which is pretty neat.
I've tried every class but summoner at least a little (had a 14 Engineer, 6 Guardian, 9 Evoker before beta ended), and I suspect I'll be going Engineer and Evoker most of the time. I also really enjoy the instancing, and the partying seemed pretty cool when I tried it.
TheFuriousWombat:
The first reviews are out and they are looking good. PCGamer gave it a score just shy of an editor's choice award, citing minor technical problems and repetitive tiles as really the only negative aspects. Otherwise they lauded the hyper addictive gameplay and said it was a blast to play. Now I just have to find out if my laptop will run it and, if not, I can fix my pc. Damn computers always have to have problems at the worst times! I've seriously been waiting for this since it was announced a couple of years ago so I cannot wait to actually play it (I beat Diablo II again in Hell difficulty to celebrate to closeness of its release).
