The Time is Fast Approaching

[Rizon]

from September- Jan (release date for other people) We get to play it and stress test it all the nice jazz, all the while of keep our progress.. its like being in beta but were not at the same time... because we get to keep all the data. Just like how FFXIV was released 7 days in advance for CE users.. well people who stuck with the game by paying for it.. get to play it for 3 months more than release date of 2.0 players =).

And we get to make inputs for the neverending update patch that always accompanies the basic game. Ho Boy.

The one Battle theme (if they plan on making new Battle themes) I hope they keep this one .

Question is, will 2.0 be a sufficient to handle the MMO world? Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Star Wars the Old Republic, Elder Scrolls online, Tera, Blade & Soul, The Secret World, World of Darkness? That's a stout list...

2.0 isn't until Jan 2013. So I would honestly say during the beta phase to really not expect much..probably even less than what's in the current version since if you've already done all of the content in current game, you won't have new content to do in 2.0 beta since that's the main thing that's being ported over.

2013 is the redistribution in retail.

2.0 will be out prior for PC, as the PS3 enters a Beta, and the PC version is further tested worldwide and tweaked. The PS3 version will have an independant server from the PC 2.0 version until Jan 2013 at the retail redistribution and PS3 retail launch.

As far as other mmo's it depends on yoru personal likes and dislikes. Im myself played GW2 from the closed beta, to the semi- vip open beta, and it feels same old same old to me. Some of the animations on mobs are pretty bad at times, and in main GD events it becomes like a first person campign spawners feast. Which hopefully will be changed soon.

I liek the idea of Elder Scolls onlien but we still ahve to see it in action (not CGI created examples that many thought was GW2).

I interpreted the road map by the current PC players getting 2.0 in late October/early November 2012 and the PS3 version will be entering the beta phase. The full re-release of the retail hard copy is distributed to the retailers in January 2013. So we get the soft copy early. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I read that road map the day I read it.

・September to October 2012 – Begin distribution of version 2.0 software for PC
- Begin distribution of PlayStation®3 system beta version

Or does it mean they are transferring files during that time and we get our hands on it in January?

That is why the community needs to support them. Nothing good can come out of awful criticism. Think of the Vietnam War, the reason for the supposed failure was lack of support for the troops. When your community or people do don't believe in you, you don't believe in yourself. I know with support 2.0 will be amazing.

I count five words...

The word was DELAYS, that's why it was in capitals -.-

I don't care if beta will have the same content. I'm ready to play this game with no lag

GW2 not THAT impressive, Diablo 3 (not THAT new.. I played it, and its ..diablo...), SWTOR.. ? (Are you kidding me... that game has voice acting in the quests and that really is the most impressive part of the game. I beta tested it for months before launch AND played after launch until last month when I left and came back here.), TSW (decent game... using AoC mechanics.. atleast thats how it feels to me. Pretty neat features.. implementing google and google maps.), TERA (lololol.. Im only sad that I spent the 60 dollars on the digital collectors edition.), Elder Scrolls Online (ABOUT TIME), I know nothing of Blade&Soul, World of Darkness (not to impressed)

BS.

Wheres your source? They will NOT seperate the servers at all, its a cross-platform game (just like FFXI) therefor it needs to be tested cross-platform.
