bozz Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Anyone else in the beta for Tabula Rasa? PS. If you've not seen it, it's ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Got a beta key but never installed/tried it. How is it different from planetside? Played that for a while, and it was fun for a bit but in the end turned into whoever had the most players won. Is this better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played that for a while, and it was fun for a bit but in the end turned into whoever had the most players won. Is this better? I never got round to playing Planetside, so I can't really compare the two. In Tabula Rasa, all player characters are on the same side, fighting AI monsters and things. You can do instances solo or in a group, and they scale accordingly. If you don't like your character, you can "clone" your high level character and change the clone from, say, a melee specialist to a healer. It's got lots of little touches which make it very streamlined and pretty much hassle-free. And it plays like a fast-paced third person shooter, instead of World of WarBastardCraft. The beta is fairly well implemented, but from what I've read there's a lot of quests yet to be put in, and there's a few annoying glitches. On the whole, it feels like it gives a good account of what to expect from the full game. And guilds being able to declare war on each other? Genius. One warning though - the first hour or so is a bit boring, but once you've got a couple of waypoints for teleporting and stuff, you'll start to see what it's really meant to be like.

bozz Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 I liked Planetside. Closed beta? Yes and no - the closed beta is kinda closed, but if you pre-order the game through www.plaync.com for £3.50, you get access to the closed beta, and some goodies for the full game. So, erm, yes and no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, a pve planetside could be good, provided it's not a lag fest. Wonder if me keys still valid? Ans: it was closed when I looked, I got me key via eurogamer.
