I only got to play a little bit last night, so I played a FM/Assassin/Destroyer to 6 or so. I really liked the speed of the assassin. The destroyer seemed slow, but I can see how powerful they may be 1v1. The FM is just strange. Seems like they are very basic taking a look at their abilities. Seems like you have to pay attention to stacks of stuff for damage. Not sure I would enjoy that.

yeah FM, for PVE, you need to watch for 5 fire stacks(and spec burning and related abilities). For pvp its all about 3 stack chill and chaining KB/mini stuns with it.
It can be really frustrating if there are other FMs who detonate stacks before 5 or don't have burning specc'd.

We're going to be playing on Mushin (Cerulean) if you're interested. Mushin & Master Hong will be the highest pop servers for NA but I'd rather play on an active server since queues and such are only a big factor for the first week or so.

A lot depends on how fast they release content.
Hopefully some middle ground between too quick and too slow. I am sure a lot will do everything in a week then storm the forums demanding more be opened soon(most of them having already done it all on other servers).

Looks like you'll be needing to re-download the game for launch. I can't remember the last time that was the case.

Is there a reason to even want to be on a busy server in this game? Seems like almost everything is cross server instances fort he most part. And even in the open world an area doesn't get very many people in it before it gets split off into a different channel.

There's a large dragon world boss kind of thing. More people for that is better since it dies faster, although I think people can also fuck it up for everyone so not sure. And world PvP if that's your thing, but world pvp in this game is awful as shit due to not normalizing damage like arena from what I understand, so again less people is probably better so you just do your daillies without anyone bothering you and be done.
Guild and shit too, especially for the harder pve content.
I don't know about this game though, I really like it, but I don't feel like I should bother playing it until they increase the level cap and what not. I think I'm gonna cancel my pack and just play it later if I feel like I want to. Bunch of stuff in that pack(medium one) I don't feel I need either so not sure it's the best use of money, besides obviously the headstart which is a big deal.

Also iirc the AH(market) isn't cross server, so healthy pop server is very good in that regard.
I love world pvp(I hate people who just want to do their PVP dailies but not actually pvp), so a healthy server is good to have.
Once it gets later in the game with raids and 4 man stuff, not sure how feasible cross-server queues will be for things like that. Most likely you will need to do groups on your server for the more difficult things.
As for waiting you could, there isn't much content starting out and given the games ease at getting max level and not to difficult aspect of getting good items(not BiS obviously), jumping into the game at a later date isn't some huge chore to try and catch up.
Playing games at launch is a big part of the appeal for me personally. Thankfully my work project ends on the 13th.

I will probably be playing B&S casually, so the initial longevity of the game doesn't matter too much to me. I know the world PvP in B&S is horribly unbalanced but I still love it, especially the little PvP areas where you collect tokens from killing NPCs and take them back to your faction camp. There's no penalty for dying in open world PvP (aside from gear damage), so it's easy to drop in and drop out.
And you always gotta play on the highest pop server for that sweet server drama. That's just a given.

I enjoy world PvP, which is making me think about choosing Mushin. But playing the beta, it seemed the zones instanced out into separate channels pretty quickly. If Mushin just has "PvP daily land" channel 1 through 20, each with 40 players while a lesser server has "PvP daily land" channel 1 through 4 each with 40 players...seems like about the same thing.

Yeah it has channels, so doesn't make much of a diff. And damage in world pvp is stupidly high from what I've seen, as in you die near instantly and while 1vs1 you can tab out of CC, when you have 5people all using CC on you at the same time, you're basically not moving at all. So I don't know, it doesn't seem like an important feature in this game compared to other, it's really balanced in arena but in world pvp it looks really shit.
