So was violating your NDA the first thing you did after finding out you got in?

If i recall from most of my past betas, the NDA allows you to confirm that "yes, you are in the beta" you just cant release any info or screenshots. Seeing as how they dont even protect their own beta forums against non-beta users. . . .

I dropped an app to try to get in today. Figure I would try it if I can.

Point taken. There was a huge World of Warplanes booth at PAX but I didn't get a chance to check it out.

I did, however, get to see Neverwinter, and I was very impressed.

Anything you can dish on? I'm hoping Cryptic doesn't pooch it.

Biggest thing for me was active targeting. You hit what you're looking at, basically. No tab targeting - face your character at the enemy you want to hit, and use your skills. Combat was very fluid and dynamic. And, I will add - it didn't feel or look at all like a reskin of the engine we're used to. If you've played Champions Online, you know that STO has a lot of common elements in the ui's and such - you can tell it's the same engine. I didn't get that feeling at all playing Neverwinter.

Apologies for the thread hijack.

Whats your characters name sir?

[CAPT Huckabee]

I don't think I have one. Not got to log in due to baby coming out of left field early. And if I already made it in a form for applying or something I don't remember(if so I'd say its Huckabee)

[Captain Talbot]

If you got in, you would have received an email like my OP

[Cleo Mavendorf]

I'm in the beta on the European server....not overly impressed. I'm waiting for World of Battleships more than this game tbh

[CAPT Huckabee]

It's Huckabee Talbot. I got to play a few training missions for a sec while coming home to change (I was eager to try, I grew up loving WWII aircraft). So far seems like something I'll like. Which isn't good. haha I'll have to find time for STO, MWO, XCOM(when it gets here), this, and the new baby

[Captain Talbot]

I will see if I can send you a friend request Huck
