I think they may be doing too much in terms of novelty that it may affect the actual gameplay itself. It seems like they're focusing more on 'what would be cool' rather than 'what would work in a constant manner'. I hope the voxels idea was implemented efficiently rather than draining...
Culture differences are much bigger than race differences. Color of some one's skin may increase the likelihood they belong to a certain culture due to socioeconomic issues, but anyone with a brain knows it's not black = bad. Unfortunately I personally don't think highly of the guns/weed/"trying...
For those of us in Beta, we can at least say that their is a state of flux as to much of their game design currently so a lot of things people speculate on may be accurate or inaccurate, but that can change as the betas go on.
That's thought to be so people can't fish for emails. Your beta application is submitted, don't worry.
The stress test invites aren't all out yet. They seem to do things in waves. I've not received mine and I was in the last few.
The first two ranks are very cheap so if you find a costume you like, upgrade away. You can reroll each upgrade rank too until you get the desired stat. The third rank is 25k which is a decent amount of cash and rank 4 is something like 150k so don't even worry about it until 40+.
Deadpool at higher level is actually pretty fun. Shoot All The Bullets is great straight boss dps and crowd annihilation. Foot Gougers is weird. DPS tooltip is total damage, not damage/second or at least that's how it works on training dummies, but I think it ACTUALLY does tooltip damage on...
Most of the earlier videos are of a dev in invincible mode fighting mobs well above their level for the most part. The beginning of some have them in vuln mode fighting stuff that's actually their level and you'll see general trash quest mobs take like 5-10 seconds to kill.
From what I've seen it seems like Soldier and Explorer would have the most actual content added, but the Scientist could unlock mini zones theoretically like the Explorer's tunnel system. I think the Settler lacks content, but makes up for it in increased social content.

This is an early basic guide to information. There was a new one out a week or two ago, but I'm too lazy to find it. Also I want a rad title for plugging junkies sites.
I think the key point a lot of people are missing is the fact they want 1% of the player population to be able to COMPLETE raids and get the gear.
It's supposed to be hard. It's Naxx 1.0, not Molten Core first 3 bosses.
Look at all you guys, complaining that the 'really hard content' is already too hard because you're surmising that what, you won't be able to clear it in the first two weeks?
We want EQ Community!
--Oh gay dude I gotta group with other peoplz
We want end game content!
--OH I CANT BEAT...
Maeby's episode, GOB's episodes, and Lucille's were by far the best ones. Though the Ron Howard / Jerry Bruckheimer shit was awesome.
Also GOB's diet is parmesan cheese/mustard. Both a Martin Mull reference as Gene Parmesan and Colonel Mustard.
I believe if you fill out all your information ASAP you'll probably still get into full beta. I filled it out with about 1-2 hours left during stress test and I believe it gave me full beta access. You'll get an email that tells you your 'Beta Account' info. Email 2 or 3.
Just found out at 7:11pm I got into stress test. It ended at 7pm. Le sigh. Hopefully since I entered my code and everything I'm still going to get in to closed testing.
Don't worry, I'll update you guys with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. NDA'd.
A: The people cooch splurting over this beta are NOT your typical gamer. Us being in beta may not help satisfy the regular gamers, or 'normies'.
B: Stress tests are exactly to test their capacity. I'm sure the more input the better, but they don't have the physical means yet of allowing in...
They fixed some of the costume stuff. You can now get rank 1-3 at least of affixes on your costume. Also graphical artifact costume enhancements now work.
A lot of the changes they've done have been pretty terrible since last patch, but with 60 levels and it being very likely having max...
It'd be awesome if I could get into a group during Dungeon Delves that could complete the instance. Usually they give up or run out of pots/kits at the last boss. Huge blue balls.
Also, having players leave the instance and not automatically getting a replacement AS WELL as NOT being able to...
As a cleric I use the warrior tank pet mostly to save my own ass as most tanks and CW's don't pay too much attention to backspawns and heal aggro mobs. Everyone else in the party seems to use the cleric companion which helps and is probably where I get a good amount of the healing done on me...
If you check their Zen prices 100 Zen = $1.00. So yeah, their price shop is probably about 50-100% too high for most of their items. I think 24 bag slots are like 1400 points, or $14.00.
I think a GOOD game could pull off box cost +$5 a month with a store for cosmetics. Why $5? This isn't an arbitrary number like some are suggesting, but it means you'd be paying $60 for a year. That's a console game. If they added content or kept your interest I'm sure people wouldn't have...
