In the game, and the character customization is very cool.

Help. Im having an information and awesomeness overload here. *twitches slightly*

wonder if they meant to let us all get in? lol

whoops -from main forum -from dstahl - cryptic studios

DO NOT PATCH UP TO ST.0.20100108a.1! It will BORK you for Open Beta and require you to download the client again.

We are looking into why you can patch - but for now - you are only hurting yourself by patching up now.

This is why they have BETA tests...no one was supposed to be allowed in, but they were.
So the guy who told the Devs, posted on it.
Its good he told them, and they shut it down, as its not supposed to be allowing access yet.
I just tried it for yucks, saw the news in the launcher thinking ok, just a tease, then saw the button, patched...thinking its just to get everyone staged to go.
Then when I saw the "Engage" button my dog pressed the mouse button with his paw....
Not my fault!
Anyway, played for almost 45 minutes and liked what I saw.
One thing though, be careful setting how high you set your bloom in the video settings in the game, I made my hair white, and i set the shiny option as well, and the back of my guys head practically blinded me depending on where I was and the lighting effects of the room.
Even after lowering the bloom setting it was annoying, so when I remake my character, i wont select shiny as a hair option.
I maxxed my graphics settings and selected the proper resolution, and the game looked good.
I can see some problems with some people not knowing what to pick, as it lists aspect ratio and some other funky stuff.
My initial thoughts are this game is going to be alot of fun!
And could be the BIG ONE we have all been waiting for....we will see....
I wish the game used the "Far Cry" engine like Age of Conan does as those graphics are awesome.
Not that these werent, I loved them! I just was not used to being out of Age of Conan I guess.
I cant wait until Tuesday!
The character customization allows many possibilities....I was impressed by it.

Quick question, what client are you guys using? I've bought my game through steam - that shouldn't give me any problems in relation to the open beta, right?
