Have they removed the ability to go fully topless?

You could see nips and all on the female characters in the open beta if you took your top off.

Beta was pretty average and buggy. I think wait a few months until the launch kinks then try. But I don't have it so Boba might feel differently.

Obes Tempest of set ... cos I wanna be a big f*** off snake

heard some reports of a 15.4GB patch

It was a 14GB download for the game and probably 1.5GB of patches. Guess it depends how you define patch.

also boba how well is it running for you? what specs you got it on? my pc is very average so im hoping it wont cry to hard

I'm not boba, but running DX10 (f***ing gay vista), 1680 * 1050, 8800gtx, 2g ram, E6850 on p35 chipset mobo. Latest nvidia offical drivers. Set to the "default" high setting in game + I ticked bloom lighting. Sits between 25 and 35fps.

Beta was pretty average and buggy

Haven't seen any show stopping bugs, no client crashes. Only bug I have seen so far has been 1 mob that got stuck and was perma evading. But you see them in any of these games, and it was only 1 out of I don't know how many mobs.

As for the average comment, I guess it depends what you call average. So far I am enjoying it.

I'm running everything as high as possible windowed 1680x1050 and it sits around 30-40 and i'm running it as dx10

I really like the game even though I bagged the s*** out of it in beta. I dunno maybe they've fixed stuff I had gripes with but now it's awesome, especially on a pvp server where there is ganking everywhere.

The stupidity of Atari, you can order it from the US and ship. It'll prolly get here before Atari(au) does and it'll be cheaper (even including shipping).

Tortage is far more polished then outside tortage.

Inside tortage all quest dialogues have voice overs.
Outside tortage none do. much wow'esque.

strex i wouldnt get caught in the trap of "starting off on a pve server just to get the hang of it". You end up playing that guy to death cause he's ur first and favourite guy, and eventually u realise that PVE sucks, and u cbf starting a new character on PVP so u just put up with the gayness of PVE.

best off changing ASAP, u'll be fine anyway

So how does the single player s*** work? Someone at work is telling me you play the first 20 levels of your character as a single player game, is that right? Cos that sounds kinda lame =\
rubba-chikin

If it goes anything like the open beta there are 2 different worlds essentially.

The single player quests you need to do to leave the nube starting city you talk to some NPC and go into "night mode" where there aren't any other players.

To actually start the last quest you need to be level 19.

Day mode is just doing rando quests around the starter city to build XP and you can group up with/pvp kill all the other nubes running around if you so desire.


AFAIK it was going to work that once you progressed 1 character up to level 20 you will never have to do it again, you can create any new class starting from level 20.

You'd pay a monthly fee to single player ? The single player content is to get you into the swing and get you progressing with out the need for a group from the start. I'd hate to be a true noob starting in WoW. Twinks doing 1 - 50 in the time it takes a noob to get to 10.

Well that has not been my experience.

does this support duel/quad cores?

Dual (duel cpus is 2 cpus fighting) core is definately supported seems to evenly spread, so I'll assume quad support is there (would be whacky if they limited the multi threadiung to 2 threads.

whats the go with pvp servers, they faction vs faction ?

Its ffa pvp, there is a roleplay one (don't ask, and I beleive their is 2 servers testing a faction based ruleset.


is the lvling boring grinding or is it kinda fun?

Well 1 - 20 was easy and pretty fun. 20+ boba would be the man to ask.

and eventually u realise that PVE sucks

For some people its what they prefer. WoW pvp sucked mroe then any other games pve. DAOC rvr was awesome. Conan pvp so far has been awesome.

I'm only lvl 28 and it's pretty much the same as the first 20 levels but the characters don't have that annoying voice overs. I'm still enjoying it.

Does it really matter? The whole point (for me anyway) is to have fun so it shouldn't really matter how long it takes you to reach 10. Unless of course, you're a competitive nut and want to gank n00bs asap.

Which is exactly what you sound like Obes.

Fun in a mmo is about playing with people. Otherwise its a pay per play single player experience.

If you go from 1 - 10 in 5 years, and are having fun great. Then awesome.

If you go from 1-10 and aren't getting in groups and generally having fun, because all the other people in that grouping bracket are powerleveling to the otherside... why play an mmo.

I have played heaps of mmos ... heaps... more then you probably even know existed. If I don't enjoy it I quit. Sometimes thats after 2 or 3 months, sometimes its 2 or 3 years. Some I got max level in, some I didn't.

you're a competitive nut and want to gank n00bs asap

I may pretend to be that. But I definately am not. I never attack someone unless I have a grudge or they went me first.
Case in point I could have played my level 21 or whatever Tempest last night and sat at whitesands aoeing the players who just rolled... Instead I went and started a new toon to play tortage through again and do the quests I missed. My lack of competitiveness and max level seeking is probably annoying Boba atm.

Do yourself a favour, if wow sucked up alot of your time and you are glad to be free of it, you might want to consider giving up mmos in general. They just aren't worth your (or anyones) time.

If you think WoW is a grind, you may as well not play any MMO ever again, because WoW is a cake walk compared to the grind in other games.

ive played both a barbarian and a guardian to level 15 and i cant decide which one i like the most

cant decide if i should go with barbarian or guardian, i love the guardian class but i really miss the lack of stealth, i love the barbarian class but i really miss the lack of armour

can anyone tell me who handles themselves better against multiple enemys after level 20?

hard to really guage at level 15 because you hardly take on more then 2 things at once

i think guardian is purpose built for taking on multiple muthafukaz. i'm something paltry like lvl 22 or something (guardian) but i can take on atleast a 4 c***s swinging my massive long dong halberd around. if s*** gets hektik you just thump it on the ground and everyone gets blasted backwards onto their arses.

ps. i saw a dude riding a mammoth today and it looked f***en radtastical. he rode it into the main town square to show it off, and everyone crowed around and was ooohing and ahhhing... lol this game rox
