I'm pretty hopeful if only because goons are not hyping this game which is a good sign.

This could be great or it could be garbage.

Either way TERA's combat, GW1's instancing, PoE's passive tree, and SWTOR's companion missions is a really interesting intersection to have a game.

Here's some stuff about classes of the 9 known so far. 15 are rumored to be out in total:

There's a tutorial area to try out each of the guys to get a feel.

Kinetic Class has some really cool mechanics.

kinetic is probably the class i want to try out the most of the known ones. there was a ru cbt stream of someone playing kinetic and the class just looked really fun in pve and pvp.

All I want is TERA with PVP that isn't trash, if all the changes they've made to the usual genre stuff also happen to work out that'd be alright too.

Unless they've changed it recently the combat is nowhere near TERA. Most abilities require a target and melee abilities will turn to face the target within a certain cone.

Don't get me wrong, that's a cool lookin class, but how are you gonna waste the punching potential of a GIANT HANDS class? I skimmed through the video so maybe I missed it, but being able to spec into either the long range blasts they had on there or a melee range punchy dude would be sweet.

That's okay, TERA was terrible anyway.

The tutorial text said that one of the cooldowns made them into a Melee punchmaster, it's just that the player there was too stupid to read and apparently completely missed it. Every time they got an "Out of range" message it's because they had apparently shifted to punch mode and failed a bunch.

I honestly thought I would be all over a newer sci-fi MMO, but as long as The Old Republic exists, I really can't see this being significantly better. The video made it seem like Guild Wars 2 in space, and I was so overcome with blandness that I didn't watch any more videos.

PSO2 for western players was canceled. I don't get the impression that this is going to play like PSO2 though, but it certainly has a similar aesthetic. PSO2 is a bad game anyways.

I signed up for the CBT, we'll see if they throw out a bunch of keys at/near CBT release, not really willing to drop cash on a CBT. Kinda dissapointed to see that Berzerker and Gunner are founder pack locked until OBT, but I'm sure there are enough classes for me to putsch around with.

I like how over the years of MMO betas this has evolved from "Friends of the devs" to "Guys who post a lot" to "Guys who pay for dumb conventions" to "People who paid more money for a non-existent thing than I did"

Goons make poor purchasing decisions: the musical.

Everybody in the CBT can make a Gunner or Berzerker, they're just locked behind some ingame achievements/progression, so you can't roll them as your first character.

Who cares if it's true or not? That's quite literally just a marketing tool, whether those streamers get keys is probably out of the hands of the devs running the beta anyway.

Aaah WTF :D One of character options is just a guy in a suit. Appearance options are: future looking guy - same style of clothes as NPCs; business suit; future GI; future biker; gay musketeer and out of nowhere just plain looking normal person in black jeans and a shirt.

I would advise against spending money on it yet, it's pretty bad. It's only a start of closed beta and they'll probably fix screen tearing and the music (I hope they completely replace it) but cinematics are probably there to stay and they are just laughable. I think they even tried to mimic 300
