[Sou Da]

So if use the proxy to unlock it do you need to keep the proxy up until tonight or it's just to unlock it?

Just to unlock.

 

[Tovarisc]

At the title screen.... "Connecting to the Dragon Age servers"... forever.

Think they're getting hammered. *grins*

Sure you didn't just leave VPN on by accident?

For me it connects to DA servers really fast now that I disabled VPN from background.

 

[dragn]

add me for multiplayer: bvb_dragon

 

[Kirie]

Am I the only peon waiting till midnight for this?

Tomorrow afternoon for me

Looks like the launch trailer is up in two hours, and there's a bunch of Twitch stuff they are doing today for those of us who can't play.

 

[Renekton]

For some reason, I'm not allowed to use Mantle. Only DX11

Latest Catalyst beta drivers

[Hristi]

You have to add Origin.exe as the non-steam game and then name it to whatever you intend to play.

You need to be signed out of Origin first and then boot the client from within Steam.

Got it working now. Thanks! Now to decide which class to use..

Same issue, with a r290.

 

[El_Cinefilo]

Anyone? If I can play the game early on the PS4 by buying it from the US store instead of having to wait until Thursday for the EU release that would be such a delight.

I've bought it on the U.S store (live in uk) and it says it unlocks in just under 14 hours (5am tomorrow) even when I'm logged into my main UK account. I know that's not confirmation but it seems promising

 

[toastyToast]

Do I have to be a human noble? Why can't I change it?

[Einbroch]

Any other skill trees people want info on?

Tempest? If you're bored and don't mind.

 

[Sou Da]

Do I have to be a human noble? Why can't I change it?

Do you mean you want to be a human non noble or a different race?

 

[DylanTackoor]

How the hell do I use my mic in multiplayer when using a gamepad?

 

[Arulan]

I'm reading through this very detailed and in-depth German review, but Google-translate leaves a lot to be desired. If anyone is interested in reading through it and giving a rough translation that would be appreciated.

[toastyToast]

Do you mean you want to be a human non noble or a different race?

Yeah, not a noble.

 

[pilferk]

I'm braving the midnight launch at Gamestop to play it, gonna play some multiplayer for awhile once I get home with my copy.

Ditto..and with all the titles coming out tonight, I expect it to be a zoo. Like 5 to 7 things? Yikes!

 

[GeoramA]

13 more hours...may as well take the dog for a walk. Or 20 of them.

 

[Vlodril]

bah it crashes 1 minute into the title screen :/

crashes for me too twice so far..

 

[Ushay]

My god, Im so excited. So much hype. Its all your fault guys.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I hate to break it to you, but this game is also going to spoil stuff from the other games.

Fucking WHAT?

 

[Gvaz]

ok you can unlock with korea and still login to the keep when the vpn is off lol

i5 3570k @ 4.2
8gb of ddr3
2gb 750ti @ 1920x1080

benchmark gives me 30~fps on all high settings with msaa off. audio is not playing or not syncing properly on the benchmark though.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Soft Ether doesn't work for me the Relay option is not there.
Have to head to work, hopefully flyVPN will work later.

 

[Matt Attack]

Have fun PC friends! I couldn't be more jelly, but midnight isn't too far away... I guess.

 

[Deified Data]

Yeah, not a noble.

Humans must be noble.

 

[toastyToast]

Humans must be noble.

Dang. I was human noble in the first game too. I wanna be a bum this time.

 

[Sou Da]

Yeah, not a noble.

The tradeoff for having 4 races was to give them one origin, sorry.

 

[Zareth]

Any other skill trees people want info on?

if you have the Rogue trees I am very interested in the tempest skills.

 

[Jamiaro]

Anyone? If I can play the game early on the PS4 by buying it from the US store instead of having to wait until Thursday for the EU release that would be such a delight.

I bought the game from US PSN-Store. I live in EU. I just made a new account, set my console as it´s Primary, bought codes from play-asia.com and the rest is history. I can play the game on my main-account because of it. Good stuff. Countdown-timer is now about 11h and 40mins, otherwise I´d have to wait till Friday...

 

[Moaradin]

Menu music is fantastic

 

[rouken]

uh..

is the game not in english for those people who bought in mexico?

 

[dumbo]

So if use the proxy to unlock it do you need to keep the proxy up until tonight or it's just to unlock it?

The only quirk is that the world state (from dragonagekeep) needs a network connection - but I don't know if it needs a network connection every time you restart or whether you only need the connection on the 'first run'.

 

[Facism]

crashes for me too twice so far..

4th time trying and the image stops moving, the music keeps playing for a minute longer, then completely unresponsive. Task manager says it's running.

 

[pilferk]

Tempest? If you're bored and don't mind.

Hmmm....too early into it I think. Don't have one as a companion. I only have mage (Sera), warrior (Cassandra and I), and rogue (Varik) right now.

 

[DylanTackoor]

uh..

is the game not in english for those people who bought in mexico?

Bought it from mexico, playing it in english right now.

 

[inky]

Dragon Age 3: The Apology

Sure feels like it.

Will Mass Effect 4 be The Redemption then?

 

[Deified Data]

Dang. I was human noble in the first game too. I wanna be a bum this time.

If you want to play a more uncouth character the Qunari is a mercenary and the dwarf is a criminal spy.

 

[Anko]

...I'm never getting past character creation tonight at this rate.

 

[Carcetti]

Humans must be noble.

I want to be an elf mage (in three days, sigh). What kind of background stuff options do I have?

 

[Wind's Howling]

I've bought it on the U.S store (live in uk) and it says it unlocks in just under 14 hours (5am tomorrow) even when I'm logged into my main UK account. I know that's not confirmation but it seems promising

I caved and just bought it.

Tomorrow I will be joining all of you on our Dragon Age quest!

 

[Tabby]

I'm actually impressed.
Even with my crappy PC on mostly high with a few medium settings here and there I'm getting about 45+fps.

AMD Phenom 965 Quad Core 3.4 ghz
8GB ram
Nvidia 670.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Is it live in korea?

 

[pilferk]

if you have the Rogue trees I am very interested in the tempest skills.

I don't see a tempest tree. Here's what I see for individual trees for Varik:

Double Daggers
Archery
Sabotage
Subterfuge

 

[Jamiaro]

I caved and just bought it.

Tomorrow I will be joining all of you on our Dragon Age quest!

Good man! With any other game I could´ve just waited... But not this. Hell no.

 

[names2hard4you]

As someone new to the series, could someone give me a quick breakdown of the classes and how they work? I understand that there are 3, the warrior, the mage and the rogue. But what makes each one special, and how would you use them?

Also am I stuck to the class that I pick at the beginning of the game?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Gvaz]

anyone else noticing it chugging every couple seconds? like it freezes, then unfreezes, then freezes, then unfreezes. This is kind of almost unplayable.

 

[Naughty_Doge]

I want to be an elf mage (in three days, sigh). What kind of background stuff options do I have?

Only Dalish Elf, it seems.

Enslaved long ago by humans, most elves still live as second-class citizens within human cities. Elves who reject this life are known as the Dalish: nomadic wanderers who strive to keep the ancient elven religion and traditions alive. You grew up in the wilderness, a member of the Lavellan Dalish clan and apprentice to its leader and guide, the Keeper. The clan wandered the northern Free Marches, and you had little need to interact with humans—until the Keeper sent you to the Chantry's conclave as a spy. What happened there, she said, would impact not only the Dalish but indeed all elves. She could not have known how right she was.

[Matt Attack]

I want to be an elf mage (in three days, sigh). What kind of background stuff options do I have?

You'll be a Dalish elf, and the apprentice to your clan's Keeper.

 

[Gaz_RB]

So glad this unlocks at 10pm tonight on PS4. The shorter the wait, the better for my sanity.

 

[dragn]

is the benchmark speed up for you guys too?

i get avg fps: 53 and min fps 40 with everything on ultra without msaa @1080p

 

[Carcetti]

Only Dalish Elf, it seems.


http://www.dragonage.com/#!/en_US/inquisitor?race=elves&class=mage

Ahhhhh not the Dalish. They were so offensively boring in Origins my elf mage in that game went race traitor, sided with the werewolves and had them killed.
