CAGiversary!
Any one else haveing issues trying to download this? I have tried from more then one site and get maybe 50% then it stops.
 
I tried the demo via newsgroups, and in the words of Mark McDonald, it was TEEERRRIBLE.

I am a huge D2 nut and sunk hundreds of hours into Diablo, but HGL has totally put me off.

Have you tried Mythos yet? It's a lot of clicking like Diablo.

Mythos was like a souped up version of Dungeon Runners. I'm not much of a Diablo RPG fan though.
 
I was trying to get it with bittorrent but them would not work. It just said 20+ days for almost an hour so I stopped it. By that time the damn game would have come in the mail. I preordered it the day the beta ended. I thought I would have atleast a day of the beta but saw that it had ended. I checked my email and found a beta key from the makers of the game and one from gamestop. The one from the makers of Hellgate came I think 3 days before it ended and the one from gamestop came the day after it ended. I hope it is here by next week. Stupid usps.
 
You can log in right now with a beta account. They're letting people play with their beta/preorder accounts for about a week until all the preorders arrive. I was actually playing last night and just picked my copy up today.

Unfortunately, they took the servers down to do a "small" patch 3 hours ago. they said they should be right back up... :cry: Why does this always happen on launches?

I don't get what was so bad about the demo. It was early in the game so it's not going to have the awesome loot and kickass enemies of the later levels. You always have to fight through hundreds of mice before you ever get to the trolls and golems in a fantasy RPG.

I thought the interface worked great, a lot like WOW's. And the game looked really good it reminded me Half-Life 2. The blademaster didn't control as well as the sharpshooter but the shooter controlled great in both first and third person view.

I would have liked to see how the game felt at higher levels. Like give us a few quests to do with a level 10-11 character. Other than that, I don't see why everyone is so down of the demo. I played the demo before hearing any comments and I was very surprised when I saw how negative the reactions were.
 
is their a place I can download the beta? I'm geting to 86% on the demo and with BT the time it will take to download will be around the time the game comes in the mail.
 
You could try btjunkie.com

The beta is a massive 4GB though. Beta access is open until 11-7-07.

Well, you're one of my diablo homies... how does this thing compare?
 
They were the ones I was trying to get the demo from. It was saying 6 days. All websites I get 86% and it stops. As for the beta I still have the email from gamestop and from from hellgatelondon.com. The link in the one from hgl.com doesnt take me to any place to download the beta and gives me no number or anything to get in. The gamestop one does have a number though.

Its really nothing like Diablo except for the fact that you're killing demons and getting phat lewtz in random dungeons. Gameplay wise, its closer to a steampunk Oblivion except the maps and missions are akin to Guildwars. The skill system is pretty much identical to Titan quest except you only get one skill set.

All-in-all, I like it. I'm not overly fond of the summoner, but the Hunters are pretty cool. Melee characters get a grappler that drags enemies close to you and stuns them.

I just hit level 14 and act 3 last night. So far, acts 1 and 2 were more or less identical. Industrial basements, subway tracks, sewers and cityscape.

The guns are really interesting. Theres something like a shotgun that shoots bees that swarm. Theres a grenade launcher that shoots crystals that explode and launch a bug swarm. Theres a tenticle gun that shoots out 7 tenticles to choke people. Theres a lightning shotgun too; it shoots a ball of lightning that splits into a bunch of charges. Rocket launchers blanket the floor with a ring of flame that burns for a few seconds. Theres also a lava gun that sprays a get of napalm that ignites the ground. And a few dozen more.

How is the multiplayer? is it like Diablo or is it somewhat close to WOW? I'm still trying to get the demo. I'm geting one from BTjunkie and it is now at about 2 days of downloading. I should have just pre ordered in store even though I hate going to gamestop and I didn't want them to have my email address.
 
[quote name='InuFaye']The game is more like Phantasy Star Online from what I have played. Its not like WoW or D2.[/QUOTE]

it's like D2 a decent amount.
and unlike PSO you don't have to pay monthly.

You know that's not true, right?
 
Like I said, its like Guild Wars. Towns have multiple shared instances and the actual fighting is done in private instances.

I made 6 zombots.

Shame my Elite guy wont be able to get one as I just started him tonight.

I don't think he'll get in on the Guy Fawkes day stuff either as he has to be in act 4 =(
 
The game has really gotten better since beta. There's still a lot of UI changes and balance issues which needs to be addressed but now I don't feel bad fully recommending it to anyone who likes the genre.
