HellGate: London

omg - i am sold to hellgate. MUST BUY !

3-D diablo, what more do they need ;)
 
cant wait

So im leaning towards an evoker, spell animation arent that grand thou.
 
sooo...Is hellgate london a great game like evey one says it to be??
 
IMO I dont think you can tell from such a short demo but however it does remind me of diablo with the skill tree :)

What I would like to know is if there will be a local server :/

been playing the beta now for a week and all i can say is i WILL buy 2x of them, one for me and my gf.

no contest, extremely additive mmofpsrpg. (yes fps...)

one mayor i like is the ability to upgrade and enchant items yourself without having idiots ripping your off in AH or need for items as such in farming till kingdom come.

can literally take level 1 item and make it level 2 and so on. Also add to that minor, medium and mayor enchants as well as 'socketing', though its more like extra addon's that gives bonuses.

other likes (to mention a few):
.total random spawn each time you do an instance/dungeon
.difficulty of the instance/dungeon increases on each player thats in your team - more monsters and difficulty is scaled very nicely
.fast paced action
.smooth engine very well optimized (even works on my gateway 2g ram, 3200+ amd, ati 900)
.quick loads with at least last used 2 places cached
.patching system seems great so far - onload and its over. no in between levels or some dull p2p/torrent system like wow
.great graphics - its no U3 but it surely doesn't look crap.
.rare/legendary monsters - yes not just the items you pickup is blue/orange but sometimes you get the monster spawned as rare or legendary, those fights also is hehe same as the monster rare/legendary combat !
.losta things to kill
---

been playing blade master and cabalist summoner. really fun chars awesome abilities :)

at least theres another beta test phase coming short but still nice to play before its out.

summed up:
doom + diablo = hellgate ;)

So when you shoot at a creep in FPS it hits where you want it to? :eek:

when faced with 50 demons or more i don't really think of just shooting off a certain limb... but i'll specifically try that next time on the last one ;)
 
hehe I think you misunderstand me, or my sentence structure and choice of words suck :p

What i mean is (I think..), is there a delay when you shoot in first person shooter mode?

Like, I play quake wars and BF2 etc and when I have a 300 ping it takes a few second for my bullets to get to the guy before it hits. 30ms ping however is a different story as im sure you might know, hits him almost immediately which gives me a slight advantage because I dont have to aim ahead (much).

Is it the same in this game?

Come to think of it, you dont really have creeps dodging you I guess...
 
there is some lvl of auto aiming, u just need to have ur crosshair close to ur target and it will hit
which is awesome for ZA'ers

I really think the game is awesome, Im just praying that if some1 hosts a game that the joiners will connect to the hosts PC. Meaning ZA'ers will play laggless if we stick together :p

The thing i really dont like is how the characters move , sometimes looking like they are gliding across the floor
The skill tree is cool, not like D2 when u had to spec many talents to reach the final bottom one. Kinda sux that u cant respec, but i suppose that adds to the replayablilty
Also cant wait to get the thrill of hardcore :D
 
Has anyone seen the ads doing the rounds on the internet?

"While most shooters rely mainly on your reflexes and ability to put the aiming cursor on a target, all the combat in Hellgate is calculated using its role-playing rules. Thus, your ability to hit a target is based on your character's accuracy rating and other criteria."
