I am giving away three HGL beta keys (you have about a week to play before the game comes out).

Pick a number from 1 to 100. The persons who guess the closest to my favorite number will get a key.


Edit: Post your number in this thread.

Update: 3 keys

38

77

I'm mostly curious as to what your fave # is.
31

85

50

1

And the winners are:
cefx-, rabbit, and Falcon[anti-yL]

The number I picked was 30. It's not really my favorite number I just picked it. As a matter of fact, I don't have a favorite number. What is the deal with people having a favorite number?

Anyway, enjoy the game. It's really fun IMO.

30!

Oh, wait..

game's uber sick.. still really buggy though.

Lol this is the 2nd beta invite for a game from you Invert :)

This is like...the 3208974 for me.  Too bad the key didn't work :\

level 5 summoner in covent garden station

1) randomly crashed due to network error
2) got stuck inside a spot and couldn't move out of it (had to exit/reload game)
3) guns wouldn't stop shooting, that's a big one, although that can be fixed by going through portal or switching hands
4) froze screen when going through a portal, had to hit reset button on computer box.

5) i'm not sure if this is a bug, but whenever you right click an item or a person it just goes to the middle option (like view item details), you don't have time/chance to click any of the other options.

also like when you enter game and load into a station, it loads all people into the same spot.. so then you have like 10 mofos standing on top of each other in one spot.. should spread out the loading coordinates a little bit within the main station area.

also i'm not sure if this is how they do it, but like in guild wars how each town/outpost has different districts... because the stations are kinda small, especially the areas where all the NPCs are... it will be insane once the game comes out with like 30-40 people in those small areas. or are they just gonna take care of that with multiple server selections?

needs few things worked out still, but other than that its gonna be ownage

I'm on my 2nd lvl 22 and have not run into that many problems with this new version. Like the developer(s) said...this version is weeks behind the one that went gold. And when we get the game, Patch 0 should fix any additional bugs the testers find/found.

i got an email for the beta today, lol

The beta will end friday! BUT it will go up again on Oct 31 for another week! This will give you a good idea if you want to buy the game. :)

I suppose I can contribute one!

Uno mas?

too bad i didn't figure out how to take screenshots earlier in the beta. it's over now :(

On the third screen shot, what is that orange thing on the side of that building? Is that supposed to be lava coming out of a building like that? Who the hell designed that stuff? lol. Or are your video settings on low? Looks like an interesting game, though.

It's sad when I'm more interested in the WoW chat going on, rather than the screen shots, though. :P

that's definitely supposed to be there. i didn't even think about it until you mentioned it though lol. those screenshots are pretty bad though. cause i tried just pushing print screen and then pasting it into paint but it didn't work... then someone told me i had to do alt+print screen to screen cap. so i was like ugh gay. i would have taken screen shots of the stations and stuff too but the beta ended.

Amazing how scalable this game is. Preordered.

Has anyone been invited to the European beta?  I am proud to say I have.

Me too :P

You folks understand that if you were initially invited to the beta, you automatically got an invite to the EU one too, right?

I do now.

Who cares about the EU beta?

Get the real game.

Thank you! No one ever paid me such a complement.  :-*

No more pics. I would be too lazy to do that.

On these forums, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I've sort of gotta agree... the logo looks like a squid version of d2's logo.... Is it supposed to be Cthulu or what?

HGL has some ex-North employees on it's staff, and it looks a lot like a Diablo 3

What do you think?

Well, I'm sure that's what they were kind of going for, without actually crossing the lines of anything illegal.

Some? It's pretty much Blizz North Reincarnated.

So I bought Hellgate: London, expecting it to be the next big thing, almost to the size of Guild Wars. I played the game for about 10 days and loved it. Then I realized it's all repetitive and really sucks.  Then I checked out the reviews and discovered that it's been rated 70 on metacritic and rarely any reviewing source has given it above a 7/10.

What a disappointment, guys should have stuck to making Diablo 3. not a Diablo with a different story line 3. =/

I agree with you. The only thing you have done wrong is buying the game w/o reading the review first. :(
