So the Beta ends tonight at midnight. But I have to say this game is going to be awesome. Definitely getting it. However its definitely smart to run a Beta because THAT SHIT HELLA BUGGY YO!!1
But anyways, its kind of like World of War craft had a 3 way with Mass Effect and Borderlands. Its got a pretty decent character creation system, which is my favorite thing to find in games nowadays. And a large world full of things to do. (Word is the Beta map is only about a 5th of the final release map) Either way the map is huge, and the enemies so far are numerous and challenging. And plenty of guns and armors to boot. Just from what I've seen so far. One particularly awesome set in the full game I am dying to get (in the pic above) Also lots of factors like vehicles, random events (like that of Skyrim) and a convenient, but REALLY glitched chat system that's both mic, and keyboard friendly. Along with a group system for you and your buddies to meet up and do shit together.
So you can select 1 of 2 races in the Beta, and be a female or male.
Then select a class, this only effects starting weapon and outfit that I know of. But any race/gender/class can use any weapon or armor later on.
Veteran: Basic assault rifle class.
Survivor: A gritty sniper class.
Outlaw: Shotgun class, ripped straight out of Fallout.
Machinist: LMG class, also has a robotic arm! Nifty!
Then you get an EGO power. Theres 4 so far.
Overcharge: Basically makes your gun shoot harder, and reloads current weapon when activated. Only lasts about 10 seconds. This can be upgraded.
Cloak: What do you think? You turn invisible momentarily. Obviously.
Blur: The ability to run super fast and punch people in the dick harder! Yay!
Decoy: A simple but useful tool to draw fire off you.
All of the powers and stats can be upgraded on the LARGE skill tree. And can all be respec'd if you get tired of dick punching people.
For a fee.
Plus theres a special event where something called an Arkfall occurs. It happens randomly anywhere on the map. And it yields great loot for anyone who participates. To summarize it up, this asteroid called an Ark, im guessing, falls from the sky and anyone on the map (Ark Hunters) can all flock toward them. So not only is there your group, but theres sometimes dozens of players all fighting the waves on enimies that spawn by it. And at the same time destroying the Ark. Based on how much you help the more loot you get from these events.
So anyone else play the Beta? Getting it on launch? I surely am, this game is amazing, if you can handle the crazy glitches every 10 seconds. Hopefully to be fixed on launch.
