Yeah I've played a fair bit in the beta etc and it doesn't feel "grindy" at all. I think it is great that people get down levelled too when going to an earlier area. So if a friend of mine is behind it won't be so boring for me to go back. You can't just go back and one shot everything.
It's great fun split screen. And I imagine it'll be the same for 12-player online too with mumble/vent/whatever. Lot of badmouthing and screaming going on when we're playing in the office. Get's very competitive and causes a lot of laughs :D
Nice feed of some game play filmed at Gamescom.
The track is Germany and showing some single player game play.
It's kinda crazy finally seeing something I've been working on for the past 9 months being played outside of the office. Very exciting! :)
Yeah, I can't believe it myself.
I know my main will be a Human Male Warrior. Just hoping I can get my name. Apparently the servers may be opening early (Anything up to three hours early) to ease the server load. Gonna have to wake up early >_<...
Ahh, good luck man! We're not far off content lock here either but our world is no where near as detailed as yours. We're pretty solid art wise.
Be strong, think of the time off after! (If you get any...)
Nice trailer. Also, one section in that trailer reminded me of my track in Race Stars. I don't think I can say what though, maybe you'll notice come release ;)
How's it going over there? You guys in crunch?
What does this little quote mean?

Upgrade our abilities and weapons? Does this mean that the levels present under the names of weapons will finally get a meaning? Will we be able to make our characters stronger/faster or what?
Eurogamer have a preview up with some in-game screens!

The game is also going to be at Gamescom this week. Maybe some gameplay videos will get released soon too!
So excited :D
Edit:
Gametrailers also...
Naph pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Every zone has a few areas with Renown Hearts placed at them. These are static areas where you can complete certain objects (kill the spiders, break their eggs, help with the local farm duties etc...) and doing enough to help out fills the heart and...
So, yeah, I pretty much just played this all weekend... My life is going to end come release xD
Did anyone else play? What did you all think?
I played mostly PvE on a Ranger, loving the class so I will definitely be rolling one. I only played as a Human really, want to save the other races...
A friend of mine made a curry the other day. An hour later I was shitting for England. He used way too many spices.
Next time you're constipated, eat my friends curry.
Haha, apparently I've been lucky with my first game, there hasn't been too much crunch or that many problems!
I'm super excited to see it on store shelves though!
Thanks, Bob!
And why not? We're a pretty big company, we've got the man power to do it ;) They're three very different games anyway, so you should at least buy this and maybe the others. This first <3
We showed off a couple of the teams today:
Kobayashi and Perez for Team Sauber...
