Same here, got it downloaded last night in preparation for the beta weekend. Interested to see how this runs on my rig.

Oh, didn't know you could download it ahead. I guess I should do that tonight! :)

Yeah especially since it's 20 gigs!

How long did it take you to download it? Even at a quick speed, 20 gig for me is probably 2-3 hours.

billybob476 · November 10, 2011, 09:37:35 AM

It was probably around 4 hours for me, the download was averaging about 1.5 megs/second. I know some people were getting as high as 3 meg/sec.

I got a beta invite as well. I got it installed, just hoping my computer can handle it this weekend. If it can we should definitely group up.

Downloading the game client now. Seems to be going at about 2 MB/sec for me right now.

Anyone who downloaded the client before today, it looks like there's an additional 250-ish meg patch to grab called "Main Assets 10".

I got that too. I jumped on and checked earlier. I can't deny I'm pretty excited to try this. Just hope I can.

I'm all downloaded and ready to go for tomorrow!

I'm looking forward to hearing how the game plays.

If anyone else has signed up for the beta, it looks like there is a 100% chance you will be invited for the next and final testing weekend in the next few weeks:

A server stress test huh. I actually noticed that was what it was and was starting to wonder if that's why we three all got an invite. It could be interesting if the stress test proves insufficient and we crash the servers when they open up. I imagine if that happens it will be like a thousand voices crying out.

Rico · November 11, 2011, 03:17:53 PM

Servers seem pretty slammed right now.

Have you gotten on? It won't even load up the news bars after the login screen for me.

Same for me. Can't even login. :(

Guess that's what the testing is for. I'm going off to the gym again tonight, hopefully when I get back it will free up a bit. It could be a bit of a challenge to play it if it's this bad right now. Even if we do get on it may just be terrible lag, but you know I'd still try to play it.
