I read, but was a bit confused by, the various phases of Phase 3. Something about how 1.0 character would not be available until phase 3 of phase 3.

Could anyone explain when 1.0 characters become available to play in the Beta roadmap?

Thanks!

Ok this is pretty sweet. I'm fighting Tree Slugs, which have an AOE move called Aqueous Discharge. I noticed that when they start the move it takes a while to cast, and when they start a red ring appears around them that indicates the AOE range. If I step back out of that range before they cast it misses me. Turns a rather hard fight into a cake walk Smiley: thumbsup

What is the server for West Coast? Sticky says Ultros for all time zones, but won't I have latency issues ?

All NA servers are in Montreal. No separate east west locations at the moment.

At least that is what I understood.

Anyone on PS3 able to give their thoughts, opinions about the game? Lag, screen tear, UI, etc. I'm confident that the game will be stable & beautiful eventually, but I'd like to get some first impressions while I wait for my email. Thanks!

It's taking quite a while to download. At one point, I had speeds as low as 0.25 MB/s. Shot up to over 2.0 MB/s towards the end. As I type this, I have approximately five minutes left in the download.

I'm assuming we can download on the PC and turn around and use the same registration for our Ps3?

Only if you get a separate PS3 invite can you use the same registration on PS3, since you need a unique game code to install the PS3 version.

With my same hardware it is running 10x better. Im getting 30-50 fps on 1080p max settings. They optimized well.
