If you pre ordered it, you are able to play the game today. So who here pre ordered and is playing already? I am currently updating , waiting patiently :mad:
 
I played during a couple different beta phases, included the last closed beta....pretty shitty overall. There have been other posts on this forum do a search.
 
Yup you can play today. There are LOTS of people playing right now. :D The pre order bonus is through the main website where you also get a atv OR through D2D, and you get a horse.
 
Chaoticon, Lol. Nice blanket statement.

If you liked Anarchy Online this game throughout closed beta gave me shivers up my spine in a good way. The developement team have been high in quality compaired to the 12 other beta's I've tested. When I gave feedback it was responded too immediately, I was told if it was known or not, and most importantly...when it wasn't known in the next day or two my bug report was addressed in a patch resolving the issue to the best of their knowledge.

The most satisfying bug report I did was to address a bug that resulted in level being reset backwards and they knew of it but not why and I isolated the cause and they listened to it AND thanked me for it.

Best dev team I've ever encountered. GM's even know what is going on under the hood as well with the Dev team.

The best games I've played have been those with strong communication and motivated activity.

The only reason I'm not playing it right now is I've got an MCSA and Security+ Cert to pass in one month or I'm finding a new job. ;-)
 
I'm having a blast with it. The crafting kicks ass and the maps are gigantic (it takes hours of walking to get through one sector). I guess it just isn't for some people.
 
I was playing the FP beta...wonder if it is still running. I found it a bit bland to be honest, and hated a lot of the animations...seemed pretty blocky. When I would attack, it wouldn't hit anyone half of the time, and I could never find ammo (the people confused me)...too much world with nobody there and not much to do really.
 
I got accepted to beta but back then it wasn't running on windows 7...
if there's a free trial I might try it.

Care to elaborate on how it's a bit like Anarchy Online? (One of my fav mmo ever).

Thanks
 
I was in the beta, wasn't overly impressed. I liked the idea, but think it was poorly executed. There is a difference between fun and challenging and just plain tedious. And yea it was blocky as hell.

Still think its an awesome premise.
 
What's the premise?

And AO is in resurrection mode now - they're rewriting graphics and engine.
 
Lol, don't call it Fallout in game you'll get banned. j/k During Open Beta the "Fallout is better than this" got really annoying.

Melee has to aim with their reticule too, just like ranged characters. It's not an attack and hit if the weapon passes through the enemy.
Ranged is both satisfying and difficult. Fighting close quarters is tough with a rifle, but a major advantage given range and possibly


It gives me AO feeling for the style. Science based story. The music really hits home and I swear it's the same composer. Hermit crabs with CRT monitors for shells. Slow, slow walking corrupted clones(read: zombies) that hit like trucks. (Although it does lack the noobie terror of hearing a rollerrat screeing up to you from miles away while you are already having a tough fight.) Adult content is great too. When a mob screams,"Fucker, I'll kill you!" It helps a lot. Expansive zones to explore. I’ve found things that nobody else knew about. Paths, odd structures, and rare resource nodes that were concealed.

The classless character construction is awesome and drives home the AO feeling and the way you advance your character is very AOish.

Sounds fun... so you aim yourself like an fps?
Is there pet class? Engy was prolly my fav class ever ... just epic robots.
 
Iam really tempted to give this game a shot I did try the beta back a few months ago and honestly it was not to bad but I really did not get a chance to get very far in. I did play AO back in the day and was there for the launch!! if anyone here remembers how the launch was you were lucky if you stayed connected for more then 5 min lol but what a great game AO was for it's time.

I find it a bit strange why the game is available to play as of 9/8 if you pre porder and download but the release date is not until the end of the month, usually pre order early access is like a few days early not weeks so why not just release the game to retail to earn more sales because waiting until the end of the month will just hurt their sales from AION coming out (not interested in AION btw).

Anyone else who is playing and would like to share your experience so far with the game? Iam kinda torn to buy it or not to buy it. I do like the setting and maturity content from what I have seen.
 
My cousin was in the beta. So I can only say what I know. The game looked like crap, ran like crap, and he decided not to buy it. I know I won't be getting it, because it just looks terribad.
 
As to it's graphics. I will admit. There are times when you really wonder what the art department were thinking when they were skinning their textures. Some of them are absolutely bland. But Fallen Earth somehow got me to ignore that occasional flaw. What they do in many other places really makes up for it. Few towns look alike. interesting graphity in some places, etc.

As to travel mounts, it has one of the best looking running horse animations I've ever seen. I also love getting a fast travel mount immediately. And they can carry stuff.
 
Well the game will not run on my pc. I made the mistake of not reading the requirements. I have a single core cpu. I never got to load the game and even make a character. I will sell my account for 25$ (it's 50 brand new.) You will also get a atv as the pre order item, I still got the code because I couldn't get in game to use it. Pm me for details.
 
Small preview from my level 7 character.

Okay so I went ahead and purchased the game this past Saturday and started playing right away. Before I say anything else I would like to mention that I' am very glad I made the purchase :). This is still in pre release status since the game is not being released until 9/22 so for the people that are playing now are getting few weeks of free play time as well as the 30 days from start date so almost 2 months of play time until you get billed so that's not to bad at all.

Anyway the character creation is not very deep but good enough such as lot's of hairstyles, face and tattoo choices overall more then enough to choose from (you can change your hair on the fly in game as well). The max level is 45 and as of right now there are no plans to increase before launch or anytime soon if at all.

You start in one of the few towns which you can select based on what you tell the npc (for me I chose my 1st character to be a crafter) so my starting town had lot's of crafting quests for me. The crafting in this game is deep very deep you can pretty much craft anything from armor to weapons to food, drinks, dye's, poison, 1st aid etc...You can also salvage just about everything. I' am currently level 7 and only in the 2nd town and between the quests (Dev's say there are over 70 towns, 5500 quests and 1,000 kilometers) and crafting I can honestly say I haven’t had this much fun in an MMO since a very long time.

I consider myself an older gamer and played pretty much all the big MMO’S ever since EQ1 and it’s refreshing to see a mature MMO where the dev’s are a smaller team and you don’t get the feeling that the marketing guys will come thru the door and say “no that cannot be in the game we have to sell sell sell take that out” well in FE you get that nice touch from the devs that they can implement anything they want like a mature sense of humor it’s rated M and it feels that way too not like (AOC) where it was rated M due to just blood and gore.

I have a pretty high end pc 4870X2, i-7 and Windows 7. I can run everything maxed setting for smooth play. I have experienced a few crashes so far but that is something the devs are working on before release and stability should get better by then. It already is much better according to people who have been playing since last week and with the latest patch this past Friday everyone’s performance increased. If you have an older pc and not a duel core cpu then this game wont run for you.

Overall I am highly impressed with the game and seriously I’ am having so much fun from questing to crafting and the setting is really different then any other MMO, I know everyone hates to compare it to Fallout but really it’s close in some areas (which is a good thing). I would recommend this game if you have a high end PC and looking for a mature setting. One last thing I really love the fact that everyone is on ONE server and the chat, everyone is very helpful from players to GM’s you really never feel alone out there, best game to compare it to would be Eve lot’s of players on one server and from my understanding they plan to keep it on one server ( I love that ).
 
Yea I dunno...
I'd prolly buy it but I'm completly addicted to HoN ... heck I bought Mortal Online and haven't touched it yet lol
 
what is the pvp like? is there any? i know that the factions do not all get along
 
i hope they allow a short trial soon, game looks good, but dont wanna stop playing the other's to just put this away
 
There is PvP, and it is very cleverly implemented IMO. Can't speak for the higher level/faction PvP as I'm still in the low level areas, but PvP here is the best I've seen.

The deal is, scavenging for materials is a major part of the game, whether you are using them for crafting or just collecting and selling on the AH. Scavenging is one of the main ways go gain wealth, probably the main one. So there is a lot of competition for scavenging nodes, which are distributed all over the place. Better stuff and more concentrated nodes are surrounded by MOBs, and the best stuff is in the PvP areas. So you don't have to PvP, but you tend to risk it even if you're not normally a PvPer (that's me). Rewards for a kill are you get the nodes to yourself, penalty for being killed is you have a long hike back to get your horse.

There are subtleties I haven't touched on, suffice to say the devs really gave PvP a lot of thought from all angles, and made it fun and rewarding right from the get-go, and made it more tempting for normally non-PvP players to join in.
 
I' am currently level 34 and loving the game it's very deep and one of the best crafting systems I have ever seen. I have yet to try the pvp aspect but I 'am a crafter so I am going to check out some nodes there. This game in my opinion is like a breath of fresh air to the MMO scene :)
 
Long time lurker here - Not a lot of discussion going on over at the AT forums so I jumped over here - this worth the pickup?

Well that depends and only yourself can probably answer that :)

I would recommend to read the offical forums to get an idea about what people are saying. As for me I would recommend it. Few pointers to help you would be ask yourself do you like MMO'S? Do you enjoy the setting (Post Apocalyptic)? Do you enjoy taking your time to learn the game since it does not hold your hand. Like crafting? This game has one of the best crafting in an MMO you can craft everything. They don't plan on having a trial which that's a good thing (keeps the gold sellers away) :).

So read up and make your decision I ' am so happy in regards to my $50 also it's one of those games that it grows on you and you will find yourself staying up late in the night and next thing you know it's late. I don't remember the last time a game kept me up all through the night into the early morning hours and they have some really excellent writers if you take your time and read the quests they are so well written you will be impressed.
 
Seems like it's the Techs/Enforcer that are the most popular :)

level 36 tech here myself.
 
This game is still unopened due to my attacking AION right now. But please PLEASE let it be fun and I didn't waste my money on a pretty box.
Is there any way I can join up with you folks once I get in?

My copy is on the way and I'll post my impressions next week.

Very nice! Let us know what you think :)

Here are some impressions from the official forums all back to back replies!


-Hi everyone,

I am seriously considering purchase of the Fallen Earth. I read some reviews stating that the game is unfinished, and one of them even stated that it's good for a free to play game, but paying significant ammount for a purchase of the game and then monthly fee is just not worth it.

Anyway - the game looks good in my eyes, but I need some insight here. I have been playing MANY mmo's, and honestly nothing has given me as immerse experience as the pre-CU and pre-NGE SWG - that I never exceled in, but I really loved.

If You guys could give me some honest tips if the game's worth the purchase or not - I'd really appreciate it.

-for the love of god, couldn't you just search for another thread?
there are like 20 threads about the same subject

but it's worth it

- BUY THE GAME U WILL LOVE IT!

- The crafting isn't as deep as SWG but the game is
so very very close and it's offset by the fact that
combat characters DO get to dabble in crafting
which is SOoooo much fun!

Really if you were in love with pre-CU pre-NGE SWG... you owe it to yourself to IMMEDIATELY pick up and begin playing this game!

I've read those reviews they're obviously Wow fanboi's.

Personally, I love the combat also... aiming ftw.

-For me, unquestionably the best gaming purchase I have made this year. Hands down.

So yes, lots of good reasons to buy the game.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea but for those whom it connects to, it's fantastic
-If you are looking for a deeper charakter creation (skills), if you like crafting that is more immersive than it was in the last upcoming MMO´s. If you like a big world without instances.
Graphic is not everything for you, traveling and exploring is fun for you and you are durable against lags or freezes (sometimes-often), you will feel fine in FE .

I love this game, feels like my search over

- I've played just about every mmorpg to release in North America. I played SWG for 6 years across 8 accounts. When NGE came around, I searched high and low for a game that could compare to the gaming experience I had in SWG.
Fallen Earth is the first game, since SWG beta, that has not dissapointed me.
I'm finally enjoying my gaming experience again.

Try the game, is all I can suggest.

I have a decent gaming machine, and I have no issues playing this game. None.
Take a moment to look at the minimum system requirements, so you will know what to expect once you get in world. Also take a peek at the patches that they have put out so far, and how frequent they are. These are all good indicators of how your experience may pan out.

- The game is a lot of fun. Like the first two fallout games (NOT fallout 3), it takes some time to get into it and get used to how it plays. Once you do, however, it's very addictive and fun.
- Ok, some "honest" tips:

1. I'm addicted to the game. Period. So, no bias here

2. The world is vast, and I'm only in sector 1 (out of 3 and more are coming). IMHO the game really captures the "wasteland" feel. The fact that the game is on one server, in a seemless world with little instances, and no fast travel...well, these things help engender that "immense" world feeling. The devs got it right setting this in the Grand Canyon - perfect setting.

3. I think there is an extraordinary amount of content given this is a new release. Yes, there have been a few threads complaining about the lack of content, but I just don't see it. So far, I've been exploring the southern starter towns thoroughly, and find that each town has an underlying story arc associated with it (discovered through multiple quest lines). The mission writing is good, funny even. The NPCs talk to each other like this eaxmple here ( I'm sure most people don't sit around and listen to the people in the towns talk like I do, but some of them are pretty awesome. Thought I would share a conversation I overheard at the Kingman baseball diamond. Two friends are having a leisurely stroll around the area when this conversation happened.

We start with them at home base...
Cynthis Wright says: I wonder how this game was supposed to work.
Jeff Keller says: Yeah? It’s actually pretty easy to understand.
Cynthis Wright says: You know how to play it?
Jeff Keller says: Oh yeah! Let me show you.
Jeff Keller says: This is called Home Base. It’s where the batter stands and hits the ball.

A few steps away...
Jeff Keller says: This is the mound. There was a guy called the carafe that stands here.
Cynthis Wright says: Carafe? What the hell?
Jeff Keller says: Don’t ask me, that’s what they called it.

A few more steps away...
Jeff Keller says: This was First Base. Here you were supposed to kiss a girl…
Jeff Keller says: If you made it before the other team got to you with their own bats and beat you down.
Cynthis Wright says: This game sounds really dangerous. And weird.


Jeff Keller says: Second Base is here. You were supposed to cop a feel on another girl if you got here…
Jeff Keller says: ...but I think there was a midget or something in your way.
Cynthis Wright says: A midget? Jeff you are so full of ****.
Jeff Keller says: No, I’m serious! What else would a shortstop be?


Jeff Keller says: This is third base.
Cynthis Wright says: What happens at Third Base? Spousal abuse?
Jeff Keller says: You could come here and I could show you.
Cynthis Wright says: I don’t think so.
Jeff Keller says: Damn. And here I was hoping to be able to tell people I got to Third Base with you.
Cynthis Wright says: You are such a jackass, Jeff.
Jeff Keller says: Someone’s gotta make light of the situation.
Cynthis Wright says: Just pay attention to guard duty, huh?

Seems like most citys have these lil conversations, I love them =) Maybe someday I will go around and gather them all and put them up somewhere )

Again, all this contributes to the feeling of "whoa, this is a BIG world to explore."

4. I love the crafting system. It's engaging and fun. Though I'm not usually a crafter in other MMO (combat is my preferred play style), I find myself immersed and addicted to it here. So much to learn. There's a debate (multiple debates really) about what the economy should be. If you're thinking "post-apocolytic" EVE, I don't think you'll find it in FE. You like building stuff yourself? Yeah, I think you'll like it here.

5. I like the FPS aspect to the game. I see the three main categories of weapons (Rifle/Pistol/Melee) to be mini-games onto themselves. Like the other day, I just rode my horse through a Blade Dancer camp trying to see how many mobs I can one-shot using my crossbow on a full gallop. How cool is that?

6. PvP? I haven't really tried PvP yet, but the threads I've been following show much promise especially when more of us migrate into S2 and S3. Hopefully, someone else could lend some insight.

6. Problems? I don't see many right now given it's a new release. Stability is probably the biggest issue, and it seems hit-or-miss based on your machine. So, be warned and read (and post in) the technical support forums. My rig is low end, everything is on the lowest settings yet I still find the fx adequate. There have been crashes, but the devs are patching on almost a daily basis, so I find that things are heading in the right direction.

As you can well imagine, I try to play anytime I can. For 15 minutes before dinner. 30 minutes before bed, etc. And at night, on a work night even, I've found myself looking at the clock and seeing I only have a couple of hours before work. I haven't had this much fun with a MMORPG in a long time.

So, is it worth it? For me? HELL YEAH!!

-You guys just basicly described all features I love in MMO's .

Ok... so a digital download this night it is .

Thanks!

PS
The only thing I am worried about is the community in terms of number of people. I don't need tons of people playing, but it's nice to actually meet someone from time to time... now I guess it's not an issue, but the question is what will happen in couple months. It's like i.e. Pirates of the Burning Sea - it's new, it's something different, and yet people don't play it

-There is only one server for everyone playing in the entire world. You will see other people out there in the wasteland guaranteed. I bump into others all the time, hell even trying to outrun other people to get to those harvest nodes! There's people all over the place, though the world IS big so you can easily go find a spot by yourself if you wanted to


I purchased last night. Ran thru the turtorial mission, was VERY impressed. Game looks and feels very polished. After Darkfall and Mortal Online beta I was somewhat hesitate to pay 50 bucks for another indy developed mmorpg. Reminds me a Tabula Rasa mixed with Star Wars Galaxies kinda, then toss in some Counter Strike...hehe also the crafting in this game looks promising due to the depth of it....

Mortal online isn't even out yet.

Main point, this game is still pretty bad. Cool concepts bad execution.
 
Just purchased through steam, downloading now. How do I find some other [H] players once I'm in?
 
I really, really wish they'd drop the price a bit on the initial game. I know indie devs need the money, but EVE had a good paradigm where they didn't charge for the client and earlier than that, charged very little for it if I recall correctly. The monthly fee is a given, but 49.99 for a digital download of an indie MMO? These days, my confidence in MMOs to be worth the price of admission is very low. Perhaps making it $30 or even better, free client (just pay for a month of play), is a lot better.

Still, I am pleased by the impressions from the [H] community, especially Troub's detailed explanation.
