This game looks amazing. Its a futuristic setting with Mechs as your primary way of fighting.
Here is the main site check it out

Is beta up?
-
Well Baku from CoZ got his faction into beta and its rumored to start with in the next two weeks on the boards.
-
Sounds nice.
-
looks cool. Like that fact that they put an anime feel to it.
-
Now, assuming we get into beta, what race are we going to be?
We have a choice of 3.
1st we have the Accretia. They are Robots and seem to be the equivalent of the Orcs in other games.
2nd we have the Cora. They are humanoid and have elf-like ears and seem to be mostly made up of mage type classes though you can also go melee.
3rd we have the Bellato. They are kind of a human-dwarf mix. Very proficient in piloting vehicles from what it seems.
-
Tizona.. you went back to your old sig :(
Anyways... I vote the Bellato.. or... Cora... Cora seem more like Zion if you wanted to compare...
-
Heh, I just missed seeing my old sig, I still use yours for the darkfall forums.
As for the races, like Heironymus said, the Cora seem more Zion/FA, but still the other races look nice as well.
-
Bellato=Merovingian
Cora=Zion
Accretia=Machines
Or if you were oldschool Planetside...
Accretia=Terran
Cora=Vanu
Bellato=Conglomerate
Either way, if we could get into the beta as a faction I think that it would be hella fun to play around with. When the semester starts back up, I'll have more than this one computer to get on. My only realy problem is finding any time in my work schedule. :(
Oh, and I would totally go Cora, but Bellato looks like fun as well.
edit:// From what I can tell, it doesn't look like the Cora are fond of using Mechs at all. Rather combating thier larger opponets with summons and the like. While I would enjoy running around in thirty-meter mech as much as the next guy, taking out heavy machinery like that is just plain cool.
Oh, and thier weaponry looks SICK.
-
This thread has tons of info on classes how to play them.
Check it out here : http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64376
-
that game looks sechsa
-
Wow, this site has lots of in game videos from beta, check it out.

-
Hmmm Accretia looks like something id like to try out.
But Bellato looks like it has some sweet Mechs.
Im not to keen on Cora though since all they do is summon.
-
Same here. If I can I would have a character from all 3.
-
Well I get in Phase 2 beta tomorrow for my Pre Order. I'll post some screenshots and a little mini review on my first playtime with RF Online.
-
Trying to sign up for beta with the faction but codemasters won't send me my validation email. Yes, I checked the junk mail.
-
Got the email. Registered our faction. Now the wait begins...
-
doesn't the game come out this month anyways?
-
When you signed our faction up... does that mean they are gonna send you the keys or what? and can I get one if they do?
-
I have no clue
-
Here is a quick screenshot:

-
That is f***in awesome... has an Anime feel to it... in my opinion.
-
Yea Im loving it. The grind is fairly easy and from what ive read the fun begins at lvl 30 when all out massive wars occur in contested regions known as Chip Wars. I cant wait, plus the armor is amazing at that level.
-
DANG IT>>> if I preorder it now,,, how long till I can get into beta? and how much does it cost to play a month?
-
I guess I would have to play to see if it was any good. Kinda looks just like another point and click MMO. I really wanna see Darkfall which should get away from that.
-
Well, I will see about pre-ordering this. I have already sent in a beta form so who knows.
Looks BADASS though.
-
Here are some more screenies with my better armor:

The coolest part is the Sky Cam which will be mostly used for Chip Wars against thousands players in pvp. You press K and you can zoom out and view the entire battlefield around you its pretty sweet:

-
I have got to try this.
-
:O I've gotta sign up when I get home
-
The more I think about, the more I want to go Accretia.
Bad ass robots.
Huge swords/other melee weapons.
Even bigger guns.
-
Ew...
I'm sorry...but those textures look atrocious...and the environmental props are rather low-detailed...
Meh, that's just me, though. Doesn't look like something I'd fancy.
-
Can I borrow your account? Please?
-
I have no clue
From what I gathered, I think you are now supposed to send them the e-mails of faction members interested, not 100% sure though.
-
I see that on Fileplanet they are advertising that the beta is available for their members. Any word on us yet?
-
Oops, I guess I got the Darkfall Online Beta thread and this mixed up!
-
Speaking of RF, phase 3 should start soon, I think later today.
The guild beta pass should come with this so check your e-mail Tbone!
-
AND POST HERE!!!!
-
Hmm, nothing so far...
-
Eh, I cancelled my preorder lol. After around lvl 25 It became a Lineage 2 grind of getting like 1 level after a day of hard grinding. There really is no end game content so nothing to keep me occupied.
Its a shame because the graphics of this game rock.
-
Damn, so much for that, lol.
-
Yea I know I was sad I really had high hopes for this game, but the grind is amazingly boring when you only get .02% per kill at only lvl 25.
-
Solo, or in a group? I hear the exp goes up by a ton when you work in a group.
EDIT: FilePlanet is giving out free keys! Get one now!
I will test the game myself, and see how it goes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT2: Ok, got in, played for about 2 hours. I liked what I have seen so far. Going as a ranger for now. Siege Cannons FTW.
If the grind gets as bad as you say it is, then I will first give the group idea a try, and if that does not work I just won't buy the game. simple as that.
By the way...here is the stats for my characters for the others trying to get in.
Name: Tizona
Class: Ranger
Server: Water
Race: Accretia (Siege Cannons!)
-
I'm waiting for them to send me my account validation email.
-
Name: Tbone
Class: Ranger
Server: Water
Race: Accretia
Current Level: 13
RogueRed came up with a good leveling strategy. After you have enough cash, puchase as many 500 HP potions and 100 FP potions as you can (they are very cheap - I have a couple of hundred of both in mine). Drag them to the hotbar along with whatever your special moves are. Then what I do is go through and kill whatever quest creatures I need to kill. Quests are usually given a few levels before you are actually strong enough to kill them with ease, but if you consistently refill HP and FP (there's no timer) and keep your special moves and buffs going, then you can easily take out enemies that would normally take you out. This gets you XP real quick!
-
Damn Tbone, level 13 already? We need to work together now :p.
And wait, does this mean the servers are working again? The website said they were going to be down all sunday.
-
They WERE working. Now they are down again. Blah..it is MxO beta all over again. lol
-
Could someone post the link to get the free keys?
Anyone?
-
http://www.fileplanet.com ?
-
Got that.. downloaded it... but I don' t have a name and password... how do I go about getting one of those?
-
Go to https://cogaccounts.codemasters.com and make one.
-
All keys now gone :(
Anyone has one they are not using or can find me one let me know....
-
Since Orien doesn't want to play anymore Broin perhaps you or I could have it... :-D
-
RF Online's Beta ended today. And you thought MxO's beta was bad. The Beta lasted a month total, and during the week of fileplanet beta, Tues-Friday was unplayable due to a login server error. I was able to grind to 30 and test PvP, but barely. It's an addicting game, but nothing impressive. It has out-of-date graphics and was poorly translated to English from its Korean version. The best thing the game has going for it is its PvP, with a war over valuable territory every 8 hours, a ranking system that defines best in race as well as top 5 (you even get your own race chat), and cold hard cash for PvP kills. Unfortunately I only had about two hours of it before beta closed (PvP is pointless until you reach level 30, which is where the game "really begins"). Definitely not gonna pay for this game, but it was fun for a distraction for a few days.
-
Darkfall online Beta needs to start.
-
*Sigh*
Like Tbone said, this game has many problems and an almost non-existent support team. There is almost no low level content except the grind, which really is not that bad if you can get a good group of 6-8 people farming high level mobs (Me and Tbone got to level 30 in about 3-4 days). The PvP is fun, but charger spamming makes it near impossible to kill your opponent 1 on 1 unless their finger slips.
It is a sad thing, because like MxO it had a lot of good ideas, but not a good dev team to pull it together. There is a HUGE amount of grammatical errors and it almost seems if the game was just run through a free online translator.
Like I said before though, this game has its good points. The whole war over territory and almost CTF like chip wars every 8 hours is great, but without a team to actually fix anything, this game is hardly worth paying 15$ per month.
Siege Launchers are still pure ownage. If they got one thing right, it was that.
-
I guess I didn't miss out on much :\
-
Hmmm, I would not have been as disappointed as I am now if they at least pushed the release date back another month. It really needed tons more fixes.
Well, I wont be playing this game as of yet, but I will keep an eye on it to see if any changes for the better come.
-
:2'( I came back to get on this morning only to find I had been disconnected and that the beta was over. I agree with everything Tbone and Tizona said except that grinding alone sucks ass. I sadly was about a day behind them and didn't get my seige launcher. :(
-
Yeah, it was fun going back to the desire to achieve more. MxO needs to raise the cap to 100 or something...
