Ah yis! Installing!

 

[QisTopTier]

What's this? The beta version?

 

[Artadius]

Is PvE going to be in the beta?

 

[piratepwnsninja]

What's this? The beta version?

Yup! Either that or I just installed malware.

 

[Luigi87]

Woo!
Downloading now.

 

[Tan]

So has anyone gotten their beta codes yet?

 

[Cereal]

Is PvE going to be in the beta?

Not the full PVE experience, no. I believe the plan was to have "The Arena" in later on in Beta that served as an intro to PVE. Just an area where the player could play against a random assortment of different decks. I assume that's still the case, but nothing has really been said about it in a while.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Well, got logged in. No booster packs in my inventory is slightly disconcerting.

Codes haven't sent out yet =/

 

[Tucah]

I never got around to playing the alpha but I'm really excited to give the beta a go sometime this week. Hope it doesn't take too long for me to get the hang of the game.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Codes haven't sent out yet =/

Ah, didn't know that was separate from having an alpha account. Got it.

 

[Luigi87]

Just got my code and activated my rewards.

Edit: Or so it would seem -- seems like there may be some hiccups in reward redemption according to chat.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Just entered my code.... it begins!!!

 

[darkressurection]

Hmm, entered my Squire code and got my boosters and free drafts, but not my free starters. Hopefully they get everything in order soon.

 

[QisTopTier]

Just got my code Time to get Hype

 

[darkressurection]

I just restarted and it seems like it did give me the Starters Too bad draft sounds like it is borked at the moment.

 

[Luigi87]

Yeah a lot of things are messed up, but I got my starters, my boosters, and my special draft token for Pro Player (and up), so I'm satisfied.
Now I sleep.

 

[Spiritreaver]

And game is already going down. Beta in full effect!

 

[Shinjica]

Some people, including me, cannot open packs. Probably they are fixing it right now.

Haha, I'm not bothered one bit. I've been playing ESO since launch. If the game has to go down for a week for bugs, that's fine, lol. Especially since the game is live now.

Also, is the client download supposed to hang so much.
Feels like i'm downloading with a modem again.

We're need to do a few final tests on some systems, so we are extending downtime 2 hours to 1 PM Pacific (20:00 GMT).

Goddamnit, and here I planned to play this until DS2 hits.

Thanks Ryuukan

 

[QisTopTier]

I want to open my packs already D:

 

[Brakara]

Any suggestion of what starter pack I should choose? I barely touched the alpha so I'm pretty clueless on what's best suited for a noob.

Edit: went with orcs.

 

[Xetherion]

In case anybody else asks, if you just want to play then it depends on your playstyle. They all are decent at what they do. If you're looking for valuable cards, this post from the Hex forums is good info.

It really comes down to the rares:
Dwarves - Ingenuity Engine, Droos Unstoppable Walker, Master Theorycrafter
Orcs - Gore Feast of Kog’Tepetl, Te’talca, Orc Gladiator, Endbringer
Humans - Hero of Adamanth, Prophet of Lodegan, Lord Benjamin, The Wise
Shin'Hare - Onslaught, Mushwocky, Wretched Brood

So quickly boiling it down - Dwarves have one purely tribal card, as does the Shin'Hare deck and the Orcs. Humans have 2 tribal rares, which make it the least flexible deck. In terms of raw power, Orcs and Dwarves are a lot more reliable than Shin'Hare.

So those will be the most common picks. Dwarves and Orcs.

I picked Dwarves.

 

[IllumiNate]

I got like 24 (Legendaries)? Out of the Primals from 2 tiers (Collector,King)
A play set of King Gabriel, 3 green 5/5 Flying Dragon guy, 3 Pack Raptors. Cpl Time Walks.
Let's make a list of the Legendaries we've pulled so far.
I can't start since I'm at work.

 

[QisTopTier]

1 Eternal Guardian
1 Argus, Herald of Doom
1 Comet Strike
1 Archmage Warlocke
1 The Kraken
1 Cosmic Transmogrify
2 Mastery of Time
1 Vampire King
3 High Tomb Lord
2 Uruunaz
1 Zombie Plague
4 Angel of Dawn
2 His Majesty, King Gabriel
2 Ozawa, Cosmic Elder
1 Resurrection
1 Pack Raptor
1 Jadiim
1 Reginald Lancashire
2 Rampaging Tarasque

I got screwed on the cards I needed for my blue/green deck and my discard deck as far as rares go. Blue Rares seem the rarest to me

 

[Ryuukan]

[QisTopTier]

Oh yeah Add me to your friends list in game guys

Anywho, my name in it is Skyhawk.

Out of four primals, in terms of Legendaries I got:
3 Rampaging Tarasque
3 Reginald Lancashire
1 Eye of Creation
1 Fist of Briggadon


Also, what is purple rarity, Kickstarter bonus?

Purple is alternative art

 

[Luigi87]

Oooh
Thanks.

I see it now after searching Princess Victoria (got a standard one in one of my primals)

 

[Ryuukan]

Can a mod remove "alpha" from the thread title?

 

[Minsc]

Done. Open beta will need a new thread though (just fyi for whoever).

 

[Teknopathetic]

1x Rampaging Terrasque
1x Reginald Lancashire
1x Eye of Creation
1x Fist of Briggadon
1x Resurrection
1x His Majesty, King Gabriel
1x Angel of Dawn
2x Zombie Plague
1x Uruunaz
1x High Tomb Lord
1x Argus, Herald of Doom
2x Eternal Guardian

Nifty.

 

[Eteric Rice]

I guess I should start opening some packs. Opened my big packs already.

 

[QisTopTier]

1x Rampaging Terrasque
1x Reginald Lancashire
1x Eye of Creation
1x Fist of Briggadon
1x Resurrection
1x His Majesty, King Gabriel
1x Angel of Dawn
2x Zombie Plague
1x Uruunaz
1x High Tomb Lord
1x Argus, Herald of Doom
2x Eternal Guardian

Nifty.

Trade me your zombiez when it works >.>

 

[Cereal]

Let's see, from my 4 Primals and 55 boosters I've pulled:

2x The Kraken
3x Cosmic Transmogrifier
1x High Tomb Lord
1x Uruunaz
1x Zombie Plague
2x Ozawa
1x Pack Raptor
1x Eye of Creation
1x Zoltog

The lack of Angel of Dawns saddens me greatly. Trying to hold off on opening more boosters to use for drafts though. We'll see how that goes.
